Poor design spotted at Singapore Expo -- a shelter that doesn't shelter

STOMPer J was bewildered to see this shelter at the Singapore Expo that does not fulfil its purpose of sheltering visitors from the elements. 'Every time it rained, people had to run for an actual shelter,' says the STOMPer.

STOMPer J wrote:

"Why is there a need for a shelter that can't shelter us from the rain?

"This design seems to support the fact that 'designers don't really use the things that they design'.

"The Singapore Expo is a case of such mis-design.

"Every time it rains, people ran for "shelter" under a shelter."

Ya it is a stupid design. Nice to see but utterly useless

You can't blame ppl for being stupid yourself... That is to shelter the sun... Not rain... If its all covered up, the air ventilation will be bad...

if its true then our HDB heartlands have lots of them! Designs are designs and architects are just a fanciful lot. Not everything they design do meet and are practical but to be appreciated.
look at some food ganishings....are they to be eaten?
