DI 7- SG Designers' Day Continued

hihi, this is part 2 of my trip to SG Designers' Day Exhibition!!!

After Qi, we went to another exhibition called Love and Money, 50 years of creative Britain. There, they exhibited many creative compositions by the British in areas such as the music industry, architectural designs, (and of course Harry Potter!!!) etc. I was quite surprised to see that we actually have many Britain-inspired designs incorporated in our buildings as well as designs. If I didn't remember wrongly, the architectural design of Ion Orchard was shown there as well.

Then, we went downstairs to view an interesting showcase revolving around the theme "Nature". But before that, were a few pieces of art that explored the play of arrangement of things that made up the overall design. Quite interesting. There was even a real cake (that made me hungry) that made people think of how many strawberries should be placed on the cake if you were to cut it into 8 pieces...(most ppl should think it to be 8? Whereas they challenged as to why each piece were to have a strawberry each :P)---I agree!!! My piece should have 10 on it heeheeheee!!!

After that, we went to a safari-like place that exhibited things related to nature like the endangered plants and animal species, videos/costumes/tools of the natives of the aboriginal cultures, as well as the different types of river water etc. Cool place. It reminded me of the Night Safari, only that it is more like a museum.

Then we finally ended the trip at the Supreme Courts to heal our hungry stomachs. Such a pity that we were not able to visit those exhibits at Suntec City... It was closed; I didn't know what was the reason though :(

Nevertheless, we have one last place to go!!! Ion Orchard!!! There, was a Belvedere vodka design competition and the finalist's artworks were there for the public to vote for the best design. There was a huge hidden Kaleidoscope in one of the pieces (which was not very eye catching as compared to the rest UNTIL you peek inside it!!)

The last exhibit we visited on that day was the showcase by the different well-known designers from all areas that won a Best Designer award over the years. One of the designers was the architect behind the Bishan community library. There was also a chair that was somewhat 3-D - its unique selling point is that the chair looks different from each angle. And it was true. there is no fixed shape from each angle.

All in all, this is an interesting and fufilling trip that broadened my insight into Arts. I never knew that there are such exhibitions in Singapore that you can get into contact with the design scene all over the world. I'll definitely visit the one for next year's Designers' Day.
