Amazing Buildings

Beside telco, maybe my other deep interest will be architecture and building design. I always amazed by skyscrapers building like Taipei 101 which has a gigantic 660 tons stabilizer ball on the peak level:

or any weird design like Bird’s Nest stadium in China:

But I think it’s useless how tremendeous the design or the shape of the building is, if it just symbolize human’s prestige without consider the ‘Green’ spirit of environmental aspect. That’s why lately, we often to hear the so-called Green Building. And how they made these green building is very very awesome….

So many aspects to be calculated, or brilliant ideas for environmental purpose are done to made a green skyscraper such as Hears Tower on New York:

I’ll write more about green building, but before that.. I have to do a little research about these Green Buildings. And one more thing.. most of green building’s pre-design are rejected to be implemented since Green Building usually cost 10-15% more than usual building with the same dimension.

OK, let me see a couple episodes of Friends first…

Proton City

How many cars are exist in our planet nowadays??

560 millions cars, and counting.. with a rate of 40 millions per year. Proton, Malaysia’s national brand, set a target of 150 thousands unit for this year. With a supporting infrastructure as large as 5 millions hectares in Tanjung Malim, and huge number of mechanical assembling robots (largest in south east asia), Proton even made its own litte town: Proton City.

The city completed with its own university, schools, and other public infrastructure to support life of 2000 people, which most dominant are, of course, Proton’s employee..
