State-of-the-art Singapore is constantly transforming and
rejuvenating her building stock. Singapore's Building Stock
documents and analyses these transformations of the efficiently
organized global city over the past two centuries at multiple
spatial scales. This book offers an alternative history of
Singapore's urban development: the history of construction,
demolition and reconstruction. The collection of essays assesses
what the changes in Singapore's building stock meant for the
preservation of physical and cultural values for the long view. In
three sections - the island scale, the district scale, and the
building scale - different data sources come together to show the
relationship between development policies, the morphology of
Singapore's built environments and the speed of its transformation.
Photos, maps and numerical charts illustrate the lost and new,
revealing accidental survivors as well as carefully staged relics
from the past.
