I remeber the day when i first visited melbourne...my friend told me, its easy to walk in Melbourne city..you will not get lost easily because the city is planned in a grid formation...

Even thou i know the grid system she mention...but i did not seriously look into the google map...until few weeks ago, my trip to Guangzhou...my father's friend who is local there told me that their city runs grid system together with circle, a ring...

this has suddenly make me remember the middle ring road in Malaysia...yes, we have the same concept, a ring that goes around our city...

My father's friend, Lim told me that in Guangzhou there are only 2 rings currently but the most ring in the country is in Beijing..they have 6 rings together...Amazing....in a sudden i feel that the basic shape is so interesting....it can be apply to our urban city and assist us to walk in the city easily...and especially it can avoid traffic jam too...is just that we might need to drive long er distance...

I think the ring is indicating the speed of the development or can be said the time taken for development, just like the xylem in the plants...it will develop more rings when it gets older...
all this ring is connected with different exit, in every quarter of the ring, it can form a town, perhaps with grid line planing..



The google map showing the circle and the grid in the city....more to discover..


Chicago map..marvelous!

Check out the photo below. I saw these pictures in the magazine...human living style changes rapidly and now even the religion place has undergoes revolution...the chapel we used to see has been totally change their image..no more colour glass for chapel and no more complicated ornament...no arches..no buttresses...The chapel of the apostles having a huge outdoor space for prayer..this has bring the nature and the people even closer...who cares sunny or rainy?


This temple is built in Singapore...I dislike the architecture...even thou the visual communication is there..meaning, we can still recognize it as a temple from far..but the feeling of 'wow' has lost...we always feel amaze on the ornament that the craftsmanship has done..but now all the ornament has been taken away and replace it by glass...

Perhaps is not because the craftsmanship has slowly gone disappear that lead to this modern material take place..and i still prefer to see good craftsmanship..

My intention on these writing is just to express my feeling towards architecture.nothing to do with what religion i am..
