Rooftop gardens in public housing at Punggol provide more green spaces while optimising land use.
HDB targets to develop 9ha of green roofs on the top deck of existing multi-storey carparks in the residential heartlands over the next three years.

This is the original orientation and composition of the shot. I previously posted a rotated version titled Parallel Universe.

adventure 3
The cute handmade sign really caught my eye, cos it was in the unfashionable part of Daehakno. Then I peeked thru the glass front door to find some steps. What convinced me to go in was a medium sized framed photo of an underground carpark that looked very much shot in a formal German style. Nice compostion and colour, maybe even medium format. Hmmm, lovers of the german photographic aesthetic, could be interesting. So up the steep stairs I went. It was a modest place, it looked very much like a modest student run cafe, attention was paid to the surfaces, like nice ceiling wallpaper and a nice selection of glassware. I wondered why I was the only customer in the place and found out that they had just opened 2 weeks ago.
What I liked most were their cameras, an Olympus PEN EE3 half frame hanging off a hook by their collection of design books and a vintage white (very rare) SX 70 Polaroid on top of the microwave.
It's an oasis in Daehakno which is full of fast food joints and anonymous chain cafes.
I was on a mission to find a new place for dinner so I only ordered a Ice Chocolate, which was excellent. They recommended me a well known Kalguksu (hand cut noodles in soup) place were so nice to draw me a map.
I'll be visiting the cafe again in April, when the weather warms up and they open up their rooftop space.
They have a blog.
Roubaix, France, and industrial city of textile
The Condition Publique
The former conditioning of wool and silk from 1902 to 1972, the symbol of industry of Roubaix. In 2004, it opens its doors and becomes the cultural manufacture.
Here is what we have in the way of rooftops.
I read one time that when you fly over Phoenix all you see is a vast sea of terracotta tile roofs. Except for Commercial buildings and older homes these are the kind of roofs most of the homes have. There are several shades brown but from an airplane they all look alike.
It because of our severe heat and constant sunshine that these are the logical choices.
