Zaha unveils seven Singapore towers
Posted by JJ on Tuesday, August 5, 2008
The Architect’s Journal - Zaha Hadid Architects’ has revealed these designs for Singapore’s largestresidential development. The £1.1 billion project, called Farrer Road, is located on an 83,500m2 site and includes seven 36-storey towers and 12 villas.
Do read what commenter Anonymous had to say: “Just like the worst of 1950s/1960s housing towers. Hadid = sold out.”

I wish the journalism (at least so far that i’ve browsed upon) on this project would be a little more explicit on its motive. Did we sell out on the ‘Largest’ bit, or the real estate value?
This, and all of the stomping ground in the cities of Dubai and China, cranking out capitalistic identities in these alluring, nebulous forms - We Can (afford), Therefore We Will (Are gonna build) - makes me miss the idea of architecture with a permanence, a social/contextual responsibility.
