Photography : Green Building - School of ADM, NTU

What is Green Building actually? Coloured in green or any other concept?

Perhaps this building can explain it all: School of Art, Design and Media in Nanyang Technological University, which was awarded BCA Green Mark Platinum Award. The concept is environmental friendly and the special rooftop is planted with grass and that's why it was awarded such a prestigious award in Singapore!

Feature:
Grass rooftop to allow absorption of rainwater instead of flowing into the drainage system of the school.

Large atrium to capture the ventilation in the centre of the building, air is allowed to circulate in the centre of the building due to its curvature shape of the facade.




Low emissivity glass is used as the facade of the building. The glass is also used as the curtain wall of the building. Allowing more light to shine in, this can reduce the use of electricity for lighting.

Curvature look of the building and the glass itself show aesthetic of building

Water also plays important part in the building. The element of cooling is situated in the centre of the building. Along with the ventilation, i.e. the circulation of the air, this will further reduce the temperature in the centre of the building.

Water element is used in architecture of the building, as cooling element

Hiding nowhere

Where can I hide anyway?

Hiding nowhere:
You will never know what will happen next. Where can you hide? Just calm yourself down and wait for the right time and matters to come.

I never have such luck in such situation

~I never have such good luck in this kinda situation~

You know what? There's a welcome week in NTU and the Student Union organized the lucky draw session in the final day of the Welcome Week. So, there were Samsung ST700 camera, Samsung Netbook and 3 Ipad 2 with 3G plan free to give away!!! 

I waited for the lucky draw session from 3pm to 330pm, and for your information, 3 IPAD 2 with 3G plan free is really an exciting thing to celebrate for. Well, I never have such luck in lucky draw session in public events. So do for this Welcome Week~~ sigh~ 

The Ipad 2 I held was from one of my juniors, who was super tremendous lucky to get it!! So jealous!!!

Book: World in 2050 CD: Still Point by Jeanette Alexander

Quite a long time I have been waiting for the arrival of the parcel from USA. Behold !!! World in 2050 by Laurence Smith. 

For the CD, it's such a coincidence when I passed by a CD booth in the canteen and I listened to the music played by the DJ, asking him who played this music. Without have a second thought, I bought it! A great piece of CD and the pianist, Jeanette Alexander won the Grammy Awards with this album(according to the DJ/seller)

交叉点，左右难了

大学乃训练人的耐性和态度的地方。它不只是让学生读书那么简单，它还给我添加不少问题和麻烦。是非题总在人生（我用得比较宏观一点）交叉点出现。
其实，这几天我做的东西有错吗？

～交叉点陆续登场，我好累～

为了一个公平竞争开放和开明的学生竞选，站在自己的立场是没有问题。
但是换个角度，又好像弄乱了整个未来组织的结构。
难道，我所向往的净选是没有那么容易会出现的?!!!!感觉上会害到人家一样，我很内疚，我感觉上我做错了~

大学 year-Finale

~大学最后一年了，是否应该为这最后一年冲个了断呢？～

～还是坐着享受天空的蓝，云朵的白？～

～好不懂怎样形容的一个心情哦。无论如何，加油就是了！~

Collections: World in 2050

I come across this book during my visit to Popular Bookstore. It has only chinese version and for the English version, I have to browse through ebay to get it.

Luckily, there's something like that on Ebay!
woo!!!!!!
Anyway, I bought both Chinese and English version of this book. This book explains how the earth evolves from the beginning of  human civilization until the year of 2050. I haven't started to read it. I think I need time to read it. A lot of time to read it but final year study is coming soon.
It means that I really have no time to read them.

Why do I suggest this book? Firstly, this book explains clearly what will happen in the future through various research conducted by the prof in UCLA( this is the main reason why I bought this book! UCLA prof explanation !) 2ndly, of course, the attractive cover drew my attention at first! haha..
