A Sketch of Geneo

Excerpt from A Garden Rooted in Genomics:
"As part of the rejuvenation of Singapore Science Park (SSP), CapitaLand introduces Geneo, a new cluster designed to be a hub for life sciences and deep tech innovation. Geneo seamlessly integrates work, live, and play elements, fostering a vibrant community of forward-thinking tenants from the life sciences, deep tech, and research sectors. Among its many initiatives, one stands out as a symbol of scientific exploration and discovery —The Seed at Geneo.

I had a state-of-the-art interior design project at the adjacent Science Park in early 80s. We used very strong colours and a series of laminates called "ColorCore" due to its solid colours throughout. I still had one of the small very heavy coffee table with me at home. I am sure the that multi-national office is now gone and Geneo brought back fond memories of that area. The complicated topsy curvy timber ceiling combined with its perspective was a huge challenge to sketch for many of us attending the Novemeber sketchwalk last Saturday. The fun chit-chat session over lunch at "Great Nanyang", one of the many eating establishments; was the highlight of the day for me! Thanks for the company.
