"The Singapore House is not just a building; it is a cultural
phenomenon. Culture means ordinary everyday values-attitudes,
beliefs, ideas and heritage. These apply to the cultural landscape
of which the house forms a part and is particularly applicable to a
fast growing metropolis like Singapore that has changed
immeasurably in recent years."Setting the scene for this newly
presented edition of The Singapore House &Residential Life
1819-1939, Edwards addresses the house's unique naturein the
context of its colonial past. Architecture, the house plan,
landscape,societal norms, recreation and more are all presented in
a book where thepast resonates on every page. Thirty years on, the
book still provides aninvaluable introduction to the history of
architecture in the city-state.
