With Singapore serving as the subject of exploration, The Hard
State, Soft City of Singapore explores the purview of imaginative
representations of the city. Alongside the physical structures and
associated practices that make up our lived environment, and
conceptualized space engineered into material form by bureaucrats,
experts and commercial interests, a perceptual layer of space is
conjured out of people's everyday life experiences. While such
imaginative projections may not be as tangible as its functional
designations, they are nonetheless equally vital and palpable. The
richness of its inhabitants' memories, aspirations and meaningful
interpretations challenges the reduction of Singapore as a Generic
City. Taking the imaginative field as the point of departure, the
forms and modes of intellectual and creative articulations of
Singapore's urban condition probe the resilience of cities and the
people who reside in them, through the images they convey or evoke
as a means for collective expressions of human agency in
placemaking.
