A Peranakan Odyssey (re)Imagined

I have always envisioned a roof over my Peranakan Cultural Centre that I based in Joo Chiat...

and now that I have some time on my hands, I've gotten into it... one of my first few attempts at using Rhino. In this particular case, I'll be using data gathered from Ecotect, coupled with some formal inspirations, and my new sculptural roof will be scripted and ready hopefully soon!

A new symbolic Joo Chiat icon in the making!
