Singapore was declared to be Asia’s greenest city this year. Well done!
The independent Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) examined the environmental performance of 22 major Asian cities in eight categories: energy and CO2, land use and buildings, transport, waste, water, sanitation, air quality and environmental governance.
This fact reminded me of some pictures I took there. I was fascinated by the cohabitation of Nature and skyscrapers.
Not only Tel-Aviv has a great deal of Bauhaus buildings (which is why it is called the white city and is part of UNESCO’s world heritage sites ), but its architecture strikes visitors by the mix of old and new. Ramshackle constructions sometimes stand in the middle of modern skycrapers and, as you walk on the beach, hotels vie with architectural originality.

New-York makes you feel dizzy and incredibly small. Look up! The architecture is amazing and really diverse.
As I walked over Brooklyn bridge, I enjoyed this unusual view of the city, the skyscrapers partly hidden in the clouds in a nice grey & mocha color palette.
Boston’s architecture is very diverse : modern, historical, industrial. Brick houses, churches, skyscrapers and factories appear in a nice composition of shapes, colors and volumes.
Pictures taken in downtown and around North End.
Siam square, the modern shopping area of Bangkok.
I would recommend you to drop by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. A brand new and promising showcase for young Thai contemporary artists.
