Lankawi, Malaysia 2007-2008

A tiny taste of Lankawi:

It's a dramatic landscape of lush colours, bright orange rocks, deep green vegetation, perfectly clear blues, rows of linear rubber plantations.

Merkats roam the streets, beeches are alive, in the wet season water gushes under stillted houses and through the tunnel gulies at the side of the roads.

In the dry season the drains become craters and perspective lines in the landscape.

The skyline cable cart gives a birds eye view of dense tree tops.

Noodles and fish for breakfast, catch puffer fish, night markets twice a week in sometimes fixed sometimes roaming locations. Fantastic colour. mmmm

monkeys birds and crabs. Lankawi

FAT Architects Fashion Art Taste

31st Jan 2008 at
interesting architecture! layering of space with large features, mirrors alike an infinity wall+ continue into floor. Surreal, architecture that is almost normal with a strange twist. Games of scale

FAT is working alongside architects such as Will Alsop, Nigel Coates to design the CIAC 'Community in a Cube'! A brand new Minniture Town in Middlesborough containing everything and incorporating sustainability- its 350 car park spaces will be painted green! The project is made through a seried of 'Sugar Cubes' each one designed by a different architect/ practice, the FAT Cube has a terraced south facing garden space as an optional entrance to building.
I like their architecture as it is playful and entertainaing (however it seems only rich clients will do!)
