wondering what to do next...Pavilion for Singapore Biennale 2006?

"Organized by the National Arts Council, Singapore Biennale 2006 will take place from 4 September to 12 November 2006. This is the country's first international showcase of contemporary visual arts.
As part of this event, Shigeru Ban* and Richard Ho** are collaborating to erect a pavilion at SMU Park, Bras Brasah. Shigeru Ban has specifically requested for the pavilion to be built with the help of 20 architecture students from the Department of Architecture at the National University of Singapore. This is a rare opportunity to work with two renowned architects on the execution of a project in Singapore.
Any student from Year 1 to 5 are eligible to apply. The task will take place and complete in July 2006. "

yes... it's finally over... or well, one can say tt im almost there. 22nd may to hand up hardbound copy and that's it.

wrote in to hope to participate in this biennale.... not sure if i can get it (they take only 20 ppl), but it'll be definitely an experience to wking hands on with an architect & his paper architecture that i've researched on... :) admire his spirit of experimention with paper as a structural building material to the extent that he managed to get japan bldg laws to pass regulation for that....

not many archi stuffs or architects thrills me nowadays (i really have no interests in taking part in competitions... )- but the thot of wking w Shigeru Ban seems exciting to me! :D yeah.... and he's one of those who started this voluntary architect netwk...
