The High-speed rail in China has been the most recent transportation development. The commerial train can travel up to 200km/h.Since the terrain in China is mountainous, the most reliable land transport would be trains.

The project started to introduce a organised and convenient railway network for commuters in the 1990s. In 2001, it soon evolved to provide speeder trains for long Read more →

Beware the rest of the world, China is coming! Via the high speed train! Making every inch of China accessible is important as it will open up china to the world as well. Planning such an elaborate rail way system takes a lot of town planning and sacrifice has to be made on some building and such. In the name of development, some historical places could be sacrifice, just like how in Singapore.
Here's a link describing the plans for an extension from Kunmin around Indochina and all the way down to us at the tip....! What's next? perhaps one day railroad tunnels under the Sgp Strait, and all the way to Sumatra? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunming%E2%80%93Singapore_Railway

“Many of us will overlook the mundane, everyday objects we see in our day-to-day; such a concept is exactly what photographer Charles Pétillon chose to explore in his latest series called ”INVASIONS.”” The white balloons are a metaphor to change the way we see our everyday objects.

Love the balloons in different sizes! Finding a house to shoot and to fill in the balloons must be really difficult i feel! Good project Charles!

“Crystal Universe” is an interactive art piece that involves the movement of the viewer. 60,000 LEDs are suspended in the 3D space. When a viewer steps into the space, a change is seen in the lights in the entire space and this change will continue to be indefinite with the viewer at the core.

The contractors who set up this installation will definitely has their work cut out for them. 60,000 LEDS was being use so i can only imagine how long they did to install them.

Hamilton is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show was inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton, by historian Ron Chernow. On Broadway, it has received enthusiastic critical acclaim and unprecedented advance box office sales.

Lin-Manuel Miranda decided to pick up a biography to read on his vacation from another musical, In the Heights. At the Read more →

I always enjoyed musical because in the performance, I can see how well they have rehearse the piece and if they don't do it well, it is very obvious sometimes. So a good musical like Hamilton takes a lot of planning, furthermore if the musical is an original piece!

Burning Man is an incredible festival that brings art, performance, and culture to life. What started out as a small group of people eventually became a culmination of artists, performers and over 50 thousand individuals.

Boyhood

@ Josephine

Boyhood was one of those unusual movie projects. Unlike other productions where a plot is created and script is completed before production begins, Boyhood’s direction was forged over 12 years. It is unconventional but also incredible.

I agree it is unconventional because in terms of production method, studios like to start a project and finish it as soon as they can. But this one, the director's vision was very intricate and he knows what he wants.

Pulled by the Roots

Leandro Erlich‘s ‘Pulled by the Roots’ displays a piece which looks like a house having been pulled from the ground by a crane. Roots, like those of trees, appear at the base of the house. To have something so large and what we usually associate with being grounded being suspended in midair is something to think about.

Categories: Case-studies
I find the roots at the base of the house is very good touch to make this project look natural and relevant. I can only the amount of planning and brainstorming before they execute this project! I hope no one is injured in this high risky project.
