Mobile retail





Looking at this mobile retail, I am looking into the disappearance of shopping complex and mall, despite the government's effort to revitalise Orchard Road. Building gigantic malls bearing iconic significance is currently a trend. ION Orchard has dominated the shopping district and soon shaping up the city skyline. ORCHARD CENTRAL is massive. Mass are emphasised in these two design scheme.

Having said that, i personally feel that this kind of image will soon be replaced by the notion of convenience. Mobile retail like the one above is not a new trend after all. We already have mobile library back in the 1960s, travelling around the island to provide knowledge for the young generations. With the rising rental prices and also the struggle for space. Retail therapy could only be at your doorstep anytime u want.

Moreover, online shopping is now part of the younger generation's lifestyle too. What beats the comfort of your home, choosing what you want to purchase and the items will be delivered in the matter of days. Yes, you might argue that the experience of shopping in malls is more realistic, cause you get to try out clothes and risk internet scam and deception. Online shopping could be a possible X factor in the future.

With all these, who needs shopping centre in the future? They will be just a hub for tourists to keep our shopping city alive.

Then in the beginning of the sememster, we have this Italian couples conducting the urban design workshop. Nonetheless, we "smoke" through the 3 weeks course and confident enough to say that 10 percent or lesser students thinks this course is useful.





Some exhibition booth set up in Plaza Singapura and took some shots down for further inspirations. Sometimes, we can design a lot with low costs, like these.

Then something strange happened.



GARFIELD trying to use my laptop. And camwhoring all the way.





The fun part is when we tried to create privacy using some panels that the previous year 4 left over and create a screen to shield off the eyes of the year 1. There we have soon yuan, yuting and jian guo working on to create a screen.

When it was totally unsuccessful cause we can still see yuting's head from afar! haha..
