Hello and welcome! I’ve made some changes to the site layout and hopefully it’s more user friendly now. Instead of the portal i’ll be posting announcements on TAS events and other things here. But the main part of the site you should be looking at is the forum here. The blog is a one-way flow of information from TAS to you, but the forum is for all NUS architecture students to communicate with each other, across all levels. We’ve just put in a new thread for you to post and look for holiday jobs, and a place for you to buy and sell your things to other archi students. So do bookmark the website and remember about these features the next time your firm is looking for more people or you need to sell your old books!

While the traffic is still pretty low, this is only meant to be a soft launch - we’re still tweaking the site before we open it to the whole school, so it’s just the current batch of year 4s for now. Please do leave your feedback about what you thought, what features you want and how you think we can improve the website here. Since it’s the holidays, there’s also a new poll up - vote on whether you want a year-end urban bbq this xmas here.

That’s all for now, but we’ll keep updating the site and adding more features so do keep coming back! Thanks for dropping by and happy holidays from all of us at TAS. :)

Gehry strikes again

MIT sues Frank Gehry. Hah! Sorry if you’re a fan of his, but i’ve never been particularly fond of his work. I couldn’t find the exact article, but there were people who got heatstroke because the pavements outside the Disney Concert Hall were so hot… In the end they had to sandblast the whole facade.
