School of the Arts Singapore (SOTA) Sustainable Architecture sketched loose-handed in a Leuchtturm sketchbook from a picture with an iron gall ink filled Lamy Stealth (mat black Safari) fountain pen, and a Herbin fountain pen with Noodler's Gruene Cactus, and a third fountain pen with with Noodler's General Of The Armies for the greens. Got new pens and new inks! \ud83d\ude01\ud83d\udd8b\ud83d\ude0a
It appears my new Noodler's General Of The Armies green ink, which I bought especially for its cool properties of being water resistent and stuff, is kinda cold and not as pretty as my previous green, so I decided to combine them, which looks really good. Of course if I want to add watercolors or something later on, I only need to use my latest.


The School of the Arts (abbreviated as "SOTA") is Singapore's first national pre-tertiary specialised arts school with a six-year integrated arts and academic curriculum, leading to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or Career-related Programme, for youths aged 13 \u201318 years old.

Under the ambit of the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), SOTA offers a dedicated development path for those who have interest and show early talent in the arts, providing a learning environment where both the artistic and academic potential can best be realised.

The campus of the School of the Arts is located off Orchard Road, Singapore. Completed in 2009 with design by award-winning Singaporean architectural firm WOHA, the campus features two distinct layers. At ground level, public performance venues and public spaces provide opportunities for arts students to display their work. The academic spaces are raised up to provide comfortable naturally-ventilated education facilities.

WOHA is a Singapore-based architecture practice, established in 1994 by Wong Mun Summ (born 18 August 1962) and Richard Hassell (born 28 October 1966). Its name is derived from the initial letters of the founders\u2019 surnames. They have built over fifty projects throughout Southeast Asia, China and Australia, including residential towers, public housing estates, mass transit stations, hotels and cultural institutions.

Their work incorporates sustainable design strategies as a response to climate change and widespread urbanization. They aim to integrate landscape, architecture and urbanism in high-rise buildings to improve quality of life for residents in high-density megacities. Their buildings are notable for their extensive use of natural vegetation as a building element. In 2007, they came to international attention when the Moulmein Rise Residential Building in Singapore was awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, establishing their reputation as designers of sustainable, naturally ventilated skyscrapers for an urban tropical context.

Examples include the Newton Suites condominium complex in Singapore, completed in 2007, the Singapore School of the Arts and The Met residential tower in Bangkok, both completed in 2009. The Met raised the international profile of the firm outside of South-East Asia, winning international awards such as the 2010 International Highrise Award and 2011 RIBA Lubetkin Award. The building was characterized as an example of sustainable high-density development for tropical megacities. The RIBA jury noted that the building offered an alternative to glazed skyscrapers common in temperate climates and made clear \u201cthat an alternative strategy to the sleek air-conditioned box can work in the tropics and has implications everywhere.\u201d

WOHA have experimented with developing new types of green skyscraper. The Parkroyal on Pickering, completed in 2013, incorporates 15,000 square meters of elevated terraced gardens, which the architects refer to as \u201csky gardens\u201d. The Oasia Hotel Downtown, completed in 2016, features a façade of aluminum mesh that supports 21 species of plants. The vertical landscaping of these structures is intended to reintroduce greenery to the built environment and encourage urban bio-diversity by attracting local birds and insects.
