Abstract
DVD traces Singapore's remarkable progress and development from a colonial trading outpost to a global capital in under two centuries. Forty years ago in 1965 when Singapore gained independence, the city centre was imploding from chronic congestion, but today it is a veritable architectural museum, showcasing the works of some of the world's most brilliant architect. Following a chronological arc over 4 episodes, the viewer is offered an insight on 35 seminal works of architecture in the words of thirty one architects themselves, while sixteen city dwellers, comment on their experience of the same buildings. The concluding episode offers a panoramic perspective of the exciting future of the city, as explained by Singapore's urban planners. Also features rare interviews with founding figures of Singapore architecture as Lim Chong Keat (Singapore Conference Hall, William Lim (Golden Mile Complex), Tan Cheng Siong (Peal Bank apartments). Koh Seow Chuan (People's Park Complex & Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay) and Tang Guan Bee (Gallery Hotel)--Back inlay.
