Digital Beijing Building




But of all structures that's been erected for the 2008 Olympics, only the Digital Beijing Building is the only one for me that i like. It is the control and data center of the event. With its digital design schemes bearing a resemblances to a circuit board or a bar code, it only represents the highest technological content an Olympic event has ever had. A competition design piece won by a starting Beijing based design studio of Studio Pei-Zhu.

For Turning Over



I been so busy on my new job that I haven't post anything here lately but now I try to catch up. The project that we're handling now is a 38-storey high end residential tower in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. Actually it's nearing its completion and all that must be done are wrapping up of all balances of works and preparing it for the turning over of the project to the owner.
Maybe after this, I could continue my regular post here. I try also to post more information regarding the said building after the turning over is completed and the inauguration has take place.
