Singapore Good Class Bungalow traces the development of stand-alone
residential architecture in Singapore from its early days as a
colony to the present. Expertly researched by noted academic and
author Robert Powell, it is also a partial history of the
architectural profession in Singapore, mentioning many of its
eminent practitioners and their works. Alongside the iconic
Singapore Shophouse and the 'Black and White' house, Singapore Good
Class Bungalow brings the history of the island's detached
residential architecture up to date. A detailed introduction is
followed by a study of the evolution of the bungalow - from early
plantation residences, through the late Victorian and Edwardian
styles, Arts and Crafts and Art Deco inspired bungalows to
post-Independence residences. The latter includes a history of how
the Good Class Bungalow emerged through a planning and preservation
initiative into a triumph for the architectural profession in
Singapore. Featured in this ambitious book are singular examples of
Modern Tropical Bungalow design together with sympathetic and
expert restoration projects, linking architectural heritage with
modern best practice.Singapore Good Class Bungalow showcases over
100 bungalows, mostly extant, and contains references to all the
major phases of construction in the city-state. Beautifully
photographed by award-winning photographer, Albert Lim KS, this is
a welcome addition to the historical literature on Modern
Singapore.
