SINGAPORE POWER BUILDING | Brutalism in Blocks

MINECRAFT CHALLENGES Lack of information

18

Our Minecraft model aimed to recreate the original building as completed in 1977. Due to the lack of documentation of this building as compared to other more well-known brutalist buildings, the main challenge was to ďŹ nd information, drawings and images to support us in this exercise. While the limitations of the Covid-19 circuit breaker originally limited us to online research including newspaper articles, the gradual reopening of spaces allowed us to expand our resources to physical books.

Lack proficiency in Minecraft With no prior experience, learning Minecraft had a learning curve. Before beginning the construction of the model, we tested dierent material textures in-game to see which best suited our project. With enough practice, and help from the SUTD Minecraft team, we were able to complete the design on time.
