My most indelible memory of void decks: The empty space that facilitates the ever exciting game of police-and-thief while waiting for the primary school bus to pick me up.

What I think is the best feature of void decks: The use of geometric shapes and specific colour schemes on the pillars and walls of the void deck. We see circles, semi-circles and rectangles playing with one another and creating a visual identity for every block. It creates rhythm and adds vibrancy to the otherwise monotonous void.

What I think is most missing from void decks: Everything is missing. We see few children running around. The number of elderly people chatting or bird-watching there has greatly reduced; the same goes for neighbours catching up with one another on their way home.

The void deck is a transitional and short-lived territory that belongs to everyone but yet no one. The lack of interaction, the lack of play, the lack of communication and the lack of the human spirit ultimately form the present void.
