Comments on: Green Design from Singapore http://artculture.com/urbanity/green-design-singapore Contemporary Art, Innovation and Design Tue, 28 Jun 2011 00:24:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Valerie http://artculture.com/urbanity/green-design-singapore#comment-309 Valerie Thu, 29 Nov 2007 00:37:13 +0000 http://www.artculture.com/reviews/green-design-eco#comment-309 People who enjoy viewing art are very aware that art can come from almost any material. We are also aware that very few things (so far) are made without some form of unrecyclable waste. I think it is a step in the right direction to encourage all of us, even our artist to do our best to conserve our resources but even our art forms have a long way to go. I very much enjoyed the sculptures outside of the Singapore Expo. I enjoyed it even more when it was explained to me what they were reaching out for. I most likely would not have known the reason for their reaching. I was not very intriqued by the images on the bench. I am sure the artist had to purchase much of the material to make such a statement instead of giving an indication that it was just materials "lying about the house". It made it less believable or inspiring for me. I believe their has to be honesty in an art form but that is just my opinion.

In my opinion, while those sculptures look really nice, they're hardly biodegradable.

The sustainability of design is more and more becoming very important to designers. Love that we get to see some of the green design from Singapore.
