Singapore's OK

After just arriving home from my 8 day stay in Singapore, I am starting to reflect on what a wonderful city it was.

Initial reactions were, efficient, organised, clean, polite and progressive. For a small island streaming with millions of people it seems that the Singapore government have managed to get a good balance of economic progress and lifestyle.

A good part of the cities efficiency was design related; excellent and clear signage, relevant communication campaigns, modernist principles and effective use of space.

Singapore is a place where East meets West and various Asian cultures are combined such as Malaysian, Indian and Chinese.

As I continue to digest my experience of Singapore I will try and post other design related themes should they come up.

Jack Black told Kyle Gas that we don't have the technology for robots yet... Well they are here and I think this video from one of my favourite site is a great interlude into the future of robots.
