Day 84: "The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others. Without community we don't know who we are..." - Erwin Raphael McManus _____________________________ Refurbished Shophouses along Smith Street, Chinatown. Shophouses were designed traditionally a business and dwelling unit with a narrow frontage. The architectural character of many of the terraces in Chinatown is much more Italianate in style. Windows often appear as mere slits with narrow timber jalousies (often with adjustable slats). Fanlights over the windows are usually quite decorative and the pilasters and balconies and even the plasterwork and colours seem to be Mediterranean in flavour. #alexaphotoaday March 25, 2014 at 06:49PM
