Rochor Colours

It's easy to dismiss '70's architecture (and I don't think the Rochor Centre would win many awards) but as I walk through the bus station in Bugis I always think of Buchanan Street station in Glasgow.

How bad could we (the Scots) have made our skyline, if we'd adopted the same attitude to colour? Somehow I think the Singapore HDB (Housing & Development Board) have coped with it better than the Glasgow Council could ;)

There are four tower blocks, imaginatively named 1,2,3, and 4, coloured red, blue, yellow and green; I might try for the other numbers/colours at a later date.
