My mama!!! Is that the Marina Mandarin??

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Indeed :cool:

I think it was designed by the architect, John Portman. I cant think of any other hotel atrium as grand as this in Singapore..maybe the Pan Pacific....:cheers:

I suppose the Parkview Square's isn't really considered an atrium?

I personally find it looks better at night, when it gets darker and the ambience is there.

Atriums and Lobbies arent quite the same. ;)

The one in the Concorde hotel might be worth a look?

i'm guessing this must be marina mandarin too :) i can never tell which of the marina hotels i'm in

Nice meh? Cant recall anything dramatic about it other than its sensational name of the 'Glass Hotel' when it first opened.

The Jin Mao atrium looks positively scary being at least 35 floors high!

Any pics of the Concorde one? When I was taking these pics, my cousin mentioned about The Concorde having a similar atrium too :)

The Furuma (Furama?) also has quite a high atrium.

Oh, it is scary... very scary in fact...

My aunt got us a room on one of the upper floors to watch the Esplanade opening ceramonies a while ago. The ride up on the lift was enough to scare us witless. Staring down along the corridors from such a great height was apparantly too much for my aunt to bare. She flung herself against the wall away from the barriers so she wouldn't have to look down... It's so vast and grand you can't help but feel intimidated....

But the Marina Mandarin isnt very tall at all actually rite??

Baq..u tried the lifts? ;)

Isn't that from Neil Humphrey's book? ;)

Anyway, when i was in Japan last year my brother and i took the lift to every single floor. There were these vending machines installed at every floor, see, and each sold a different thing(like ice-cream, hot food, cigerettes, tissue, disposable underwear...) and we wanted to check out which storey was selling what. The lobby got lots of complaints for that.. hehehe

Cos people trying to use the lifts found that they were constantly occupied? Lol. I suppose what i did with my brother was really childish lah. but it was on impulse. I didn't quite think of the consequences. Luckily, though, they never found out it was us... Hehe...

The Bra Lady from Neil Humphrey's books... in Toa Payoh i think....

Bra-lady is this crazy woman who wears her bra outside and stays in the lift pressing all the buttons. Somewhere in Toa Payoh. Yup its in Neil Humphries book (again):D

Wah u look so closely ah? haha....I think it's pretty nice and modern leh....:yes:

i happen to have a pic of it... yes i think the glass seems kinda dirty too.. not sure if its the effect of the stripes. i think the atrium would look classier without fake trees.

http://files.photojerk.com/sybarite/IMGP4927.JPG

uhm are the trees real?

Well duh... of course not lah.....

nah the atrium would be too plain without the trees...I like the view looking up though
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/503/103westins.jpg

This atrium is not very beautiful but I'm sure most of you knows where this is......

Bras Basah Centre? :D

ooh.. shian's art.. that's the shop lepainperdu works for.. in kl of course

There's this huge Art Friends thing there too right? Haha. Went there with a friend when i was in sec 2 to buy some stuff for a project we were doing. In the end, we got the highest marks for that project. I wasn't surprised. I felt it was a job well done(which is a change. i'm usually uber pessimistic....)

In that case you should go there more often for your future projects....:lol:

what project? (looks like another school thread forming)

Lol. We were supposed to design a rooftop garden for our new school building....

Wah!

So good?!

Really ah?

Yep. Had to buy sponges to make bushes and stuff..... we make a pavilion out of rolled up pages from National Geographic too....

So you guys have a rooftop garden? :eek2:

Not yet. We're still waiting for approval from the MOE, i think.... and we have to confirm that the roof meets the proper standards and guidelines.....

Can the roof really support it?

Where is it? :eek:

Where is what?

Well, it was supposedly designed to support a rooftop garden.....

On which building is the garden?

Oh... The main building, just above the science block. The whole campus i loacted under one roof....

Huh?

Nevermind.I'll see what suprises are in store for my new building! :D

All I know we would have a dance studio and an auditorium, although I don't know how big it is compared to other schools'.

How big is your's?

Erm... Dunno...... Slightly bigger than what it used to be.....

So vague...

Any pictures?

Mine is 4 storeys tall.The actual auditorium is 3 storeys tall.

Have posted them in another thread before, but here are some of them.... i'll link later...

The corridor outside the hall will always have a special place in my heart.....

"The corridor outside the hall will always have a special place in my heart....."
Why? :lol:


I meant any pictures of the outside of the auditorium?
How big is it?

The auditorium takes up about half the speze of the hall, but it's sloping so as to accomodate more people...


Haha. Corridor outside the hall? I spent some of my highest and lowest moments there..... don't really like to talk much about it, but..... ah well..... :)

How tall, and please take shots of it! :D

Corridor outside school hall?? Hmm.....I remember it for oral exams....:lol:

N levels...

Discussing answers after exams, can hear many people cursing and swearing, and some cheering and a few "Heng, ah!s". :D

How big is it anyway? ;)

How tall, and please take shots of it! :D

As if i so free liddat.... see first lah. Maybe if i have to go back to school on Saturdays for remedial i'll bring my camera along.... now with the 5-day week thing, though, doesn't seem as likely....

Corridor outside school hall?? Hmm.....I remember it for oral exams....

You give them?!?!

Dunno lah. Corridor outside the hall is where so many happy and sad moments are spent, for me, so i've developed this sentimental attachment to it. Everytime i'm around the area, i'll always sort'a relive those events....

How big is it anyway? ;)

Can fit 1100 comfortably with ample room for maybe 100 more. Good enough?

How many floors tall?


The current 3F classroom in my school carries memories for me...
Not that I used that room before, it that....
Sigh...
I felt sheer loneliness and utter boredom, yet very enjoyable at the same time!
During camp, I listened to SHE's Superstar CD at least 15 times, over and over again.
Secretely, of course.The teachers did not know... :lol:

Emm....i talking about my Secondary school days.....:cry::D

Ýup school halls corridors can be both joyous and sad......but for me i choose the joyous moments....like ppl giving me gifts on special occassion etc.....:lol:

1100! :eek:

I wonder, is that 'normal'?

corridor outside hall? uh... i only remember someone telling me my friend screamed OMIGOD I FORGOT TO WEAR BRA at the link to the hall.. not exactly corridor

LOL..... must have been a traumatising experience for her....

:eek:

Really meh? :D

Is it normal to have a 1100 seater auditorium?

we were sec 1 at that time lar... anyway she's a very open person. can't imagine it being traumatising for her.. she says she forgot because in her all girl's primary school the girls all dont bother wearing bra.

Is it normal to have a 1100 seater auditorium?

Not very sure. My old hall could only seat about 600...

Anyway, the rest of the pics can be found on this thread:

Last few pages.

Your school so kampong!

You must be looking at the old wan lah....

One of my cousins does not wear bra at times.In sch I dunno...
When she is in Sec 2...

What do bras have to do with beautiful atria?!?!??!

Heir started it...

Nvm...

What has schools to do with atria?!
And corridor memories? :lol:

Erm. Corridor memories connected to school, school connected to rooftop gardesn, rooftop gardens connected to the ARt Freind Shop, which is related to that last pic...

wah... so old never wear bra.. shame shame.. for comparison purposes, dunman high's auditorium completed in 2002 could seat 800. i dont know about the hall.

800 is definately beyond mine. Let me make a rough estimate......

*ponder*

slightly more than 200 maybe....

huh... i thought you said ur auditorium could seat 1100?

That's the hall lah..... The auditorium is smaller and sloped...... The hall is flat with paraquet flooring and huge air-conditioning vents and curved roof...

oh ok..

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/500/300mfs.jpg
This is my auditorium, taken May 2003.

Is it considered big?

Eye, your hall got aircon? :eek:

Choy...why am I saying this...

oh ok i would have thought straight guys love such situations haha

Eye, your hall got aircon? :eek:

Yep. But we only turn it on during major functions because air-conditioning is expensive.

About the auditorium, which part of the photo is it?

The huge cubic structure with a big single window onn the second floor.

So normal assembly time no a/c?

Seems a little narrower than my auditorium, but some height. Lengthwise, it's impossible to tell from the picture.

Yea. No a/c during assembly

Well you can't see it's an atrium because the roof is too bright, but it is ;-)

I supposed the Marina Bay Sands hotel will have a fabulous atrium....:D
