they come up with not very nice things. babystan posted some of their interior design pics earlier on - they're doing terminal 3 and did the new national library.



this looks ok

this is ghastly

the carpet and blue design scheme is ghastly too

blue carpet once again

this looks like some wing in any large american airport

this is cute. i only wish the floors were more monochrome

blue carpet again?! no offense, but this looks more like a mall in johor bahru than a paragon.

ok, the national library's interior design isn't great too

this is kiddish

the strange colour scheme makes this seem more like primary school library

this is somewhat interesting

let's compare with the bibliotheca alexandrina by snøhetta.

overall a far classier affair than woodhead and wilson's interiors.


verdict: sg govt has no taste.

Unfortunately, heirloom, I can't see all of your pictures. :( They start showing only at bibliotheca alexandrina.

But you say there's an interior decorating outfit doing things in SG that you dislike? For good reason no doubt! :bash:

The Danes are very proud of the Copenhagen airport btw ... I believe it was voted "best airport in Europe" repeatedly. :cool:

Yes, and we wouldn't want that, would we now! :)

Mystery: I can see all the pictures now, heirloom, but somehow they don't match your descriptions. :? :dunno:

O well, let's not worry about it. :) For that, matter, worrying about Woodheads probably won't do much good, either. ;)

But I'm glad you got it off your chest! :okay:
