STL'sConcept for the Kaohsiung Maritime Cultural & Popular Music Center Competition

Kaohsiung City Government recently hosted a competition for a Marine Culture and Pop Music Center on the city's waterfront.The Kaohsiung harbor is truly at the heart of the Kaohsiung urban landscape. Adjoined by the surrounding downtown areas, where the Taiwan Strait meets the love river, there is a critical opportunity to establish a new urban fabric as a fulcrum for the Asia-Pacific music culture and an international exchange platform for marine culture. The project presents a unique opportunity to impact a large area of Kaohsiung with an ambitious complex program. The challenge arises from the need to provide the new center with an iconic identity while allowing it to be an urban space of civic stature for the enjoyment of locals, tourists and concert goers.

London Thames Opera Competition

The month of September is drawing to an end.
Hakuho still have to wait for another Basho
to become Yokuzuna. Being away from Asia,
I have lost the news on Taiwan "Ah Bian"
saga. All the fuss on the President. I have
to salute the Thai. May be Taiwanese have
to emulate the act of Coup, Bloodless like
Thai style. I salute the army, you hold the
gun, lets do it your way.

Still have the feeling of London, the summer,
the SouthBank, all the tourists jam at London's
Eye, along the Thames.

I was delighted to be short-listed as 52 finalists
on London Thames Opera Competition. Well, been
the only three Australian entries among the
international crowd, I am indeed very pleased.
At least get into the main stream for all
the long forgotten Architectural's sake.
