Integrated Resort originality?
Have you ever bought a pair of slippers in Bangkok thinking its unique, only to find everybody wearing it on your return home?
If you haven't already heard, there is an uncanny similarity in the architecture of Abu Dhabi Gate District with the Singapore Intergrated Resort casino haven at Marina Bay. Its like getting 2 Aces at the blackjack table in the casino. I am shocked to see this picture. Take a look.
The uniqueness of the designs lies in the linking up of a few buildings by connecting the rooftops.
Now I'm wondering how original our design really is....
Although the 2 majestic sites have differently funtions and assembly, that is the least that is on people's minds. When we go shopping, we look for designs first. The materials, cutting, etc are secondary in our minds. We only talk about the secondary issues if the design catches our attention. (at least thats how i shop)
Since this is about the visual design, the issue is the similarity in architectural visual impact. Not the funtions or assembly. There is definitely a resemblance to our casino resort. So I have to find out more about this design. What I found next is both a relief and shock. I'm relieved that the design is not THAT simlar.
This is a spetacular view of the site.
OMG!!! Feng shui masters who were critical of our casino architecture in its visual impact must be having a field day!! Owners of this site must be relieved that its not a casino. I don't think we would find slot machines, roulettes, blackjack tables, or poker kings there.
There were many feng shui views of the Singapore Integrated Resort (i just call it casino for short), feng shui masters talked of how it looked like a blade, broken flyover, tomb, etc.
I came across a feng shui master's view of this Abu Dhabi project saying that the Intergrated Resort design is not original, and that it is not good in feng shui principles. The 4 blocks of the AbuDhabi arranged in an arc is better than the 3 joss sticks of the IR.
What has an arc got to do with 3 joss sticks!? I really cannot see the link. An arc is very vague, while 3 joss sticks is very specific. If feng shui is based according to architectural resemblance to objects, is that not only 1, but a few "arc" sickles I see in this picture?
If any feng shui principles are being refered to.... man... it must be the principle of .... i don't know.. .... first impressions???
For me, the only feng shui priciples that I can see from these pictures are the principles of energy flow. I can see a restriction energy flow and movement with the site. In fact, energy may be directed by the bigger 4 building arc towards the taller tower causing a potential energy bottleneck area. That is hostile. Another concern is that the 2 curved buildings at the center will trap and restrict energy flow within itself.
However there may already be feng shui remedies planned. Just that I have no access to those information. The only thing on my mind is having access to our casino as soon as possible.
A compelling point is made about the resemblance though .....
