Perfect for lovers of architecture and discover Singapore through the lens of art and architecture.
Starting at Blair Plain conservation area, we explore a compact area of historical shophouses and terrace houses of vastly different architectural styles and reflect on the eclectic mix of Chinese, Malay and European design elements.
Next we’ll explore a local residential neighbourhood where brutalist public housing overflows with laundry and potted plants from the windows. Along the way, you will spot a Art Deco former train station on the way and we’ll discuss the style and impact it has for the city.
We will end our architecture walking tour at the glass and concrete towers of the Central Business District. You will learn about Oasia Hotel, a tropical "living tower" which is a prototype of sustainable design in the tropics, reflecting the modern architecture of the city.
