FOLLOWING IS A RE-POST OF MY PERSONAL INSTAGRAM DURING MY SUMMER FAMILY VACATION TO SINGAPORE; CAPTIONS ARE OF MY OPINION AND NOT OF MY FAMILY AND EMPLOYER.

THE FOLLOWING INCLUDES VIDEOS AND SLIDESHOW WITH CAPTIONS.

FOLLOWING ARE THUMBNAILS; YOU MAY CLICK OVER THEM FOR FULL VIEW.

IF THUMBNAIL HAS A VIDEO SYMBOL ON ITS TOP-RIGHT CORNER, CLICKING THE THUMBNAIL WILL START A VIDEO. TO STOP THE VIDEO CLICK OVER IT A SECOND TIME.

IF BELOW A THUMBNAIL YOU SEE COLORED DOTS, IT IS INDICATION THAT THE THUMBNAIL CONSISTS OF A SLIDESHOW; SCROLL OVER THE THUMBNAIL FOR LEFT AND RIGHT ARROW DISPLAY TO SLIDE EITHER WAY.

 

Traveling light… it’s the mount you don’t take… or you take all and annoy all!

LAX experience is the only part of any trip I don’t look forward to; we have one of the most sophisticated building codes, 5th world economy, yet we cannot have a decent international airport!

Nice looking feature but why disguise the balconies? Could humidity be the cause? I think I saw chillers too maybe these are utility decks, maybe that’s why!

They better love me; two of my projects are in construction and we have a GC meeting shortly; when I left it was night time on the 7th, arrived in the morning but on the 9th; skipped 8th! We flew in complete darkness; body clock is a mess; best part is, both projects are two hours ahead of hometown! Where’s my coffee! #whatarchitectsdo and best part is I get to do it in pajamas!

Pedestrian overpass! I don’t recall experience any in North America! It had an accessible ramp too!

A post shared by Benyamin Madani (@benyaminmadani) on Aug 10, 2018 at 3:15am PDT

You want the visitors to have the experience, getting their senses to interact; I can touch the straws wrapping the metal post here and feel the nature! Definitely would have hated manmade plaster casings, don’t care how artistic one can get, it feels plaster not nature!

Singapore is A country, the state, and the city maybe because it’s too small and so everything has multipurpose. The road we drive on happens to be the Formula 1 race track! They close off part of their toad system to host the amazing F1 and those are the lights to lid the track!

I get it! But see if you get my point: I live the Hollywood, meaning other than literally living in souther California, I’m living the western culture so this is what we experience at home anyways!

You have to excuse the French here again! Seems like they belong to the time before Adam and Eve as I’m told a soon as they were descended from Heaven they were told to cover their parts! Beside that, in some cultures showing your back to another is pretty rude let alone being butt naked! Imagine you walk into a hotel lobby and you have giant a** in your face! That pretty much calls out the black belt out of you!
