Positioned as a global city at the hub of South East Asia, singapore now has a thoroughly modern sensibility mediated by an inherited culture and sense of place. This new global consciousness is reflected in its architecture, which demonstrates a seamless marriage of vernacular and modernist forms. Singapore's houses create pleasure from the tropical climate...they work with the landscape and the climate to generate architectural pleasure. A new wave of highly distinctive architecture has seen Singapore recognized, for the first time, as one of the world's most dynamic architectural centres.
The 25 best houses and condominiums by a dynamic new generation of architects are displayed in this book. Architects featured include SCDA, WOHA, Bedmar Shi, CSYA, Kevin Low, K2LD, Seksan, WOW Architects and John Heah. Each house is lavishly illustrated with all new photography by Patrick Bingham-Hall, and the book is introduced by a broad-ranging and insightful essay by Paul McGillick.
