BUILT TO BE BEAUTIFUL

The other day, we explored the streets near the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. (Yes, we're now allowing ourselves 'breaks', pwede na mamasyal. Hehe.). 

We've always been in awe of SG's architectural wonders (from the Esplanade, to the shop houses, the museums, The Marina Bay Sands, etc). We're now adding these two buildings -- The Cathay and School of the Arts -- to the list.

Simple joy: sight-seeing. 

ART DECO

The Cathay

It's a mall / cineplex,
right beside the School of the Arts.

MODERN FACETED SCULPTURAL SPACE

of the School of The Arts (SOTA)

"...creative learning space...designed to
reflect the rich diversity of the arts and
the academic rigour of SOTA." --

I especially loved the steps of the School of the Arts!

From UP Diliman's A.S. Steps to SOTA's Steps

Kidded Hubby -- "Ikaw na lang magtrabaho, mag-aaral na lang ako dito." And then we found out the school is pre-tertiary (aka high school). Students are 13-18 years old. Ooops. Baka sa Esplanade meron art workshops for me. LOL.
