Gardens By The Bay – Visit 3

June 2010 – Visit number 3 proved to be a very long and hot day of shooting.  The Cool-Dry Conservatory construction is continuing to move along at a considerable rate and is proving to be a challenge to capture.  Critical locations for shooting are either inaccessible or have large machinery parked in the way.  The […]

Gardens By The Bay – Visit 2

May 2010 – As you will see from the images below the Cool-Dry Conservatory construction is progressing extremely fast.  More arches are being erected every week.  The gridshell, which is a self supporting structure, can be seen behind the white, unpainted arches.  The red structure is called a ‘crash deck’ and is a temporary structure […]
