Rethinking
Shanghai's Urban Housing |
| |
Since the 1980s, Shanghai saw the massive growth in
residential development in the city core, with the
imminent erasure of the historical urban fabric,
especially of the form of urban housing known as the
lilong. New developments take on limited typologies
of towers and slab blocks. An important question to
consider is: are there alternatives to urban housing
in such a historically rich city? The exhibition
showcases an inquiry in the design studio at the
Department of Architecture at the National
University of Singapore, if urban housing can take
into account the urban transformation of the
surrounding urban fabric and propose alternatives to
the mega-superblocks favored in the residential
development of Shanghai. |

STILL (want to
matter) |
| |
Featuring the studio works of first-year students
from the NUS Bachelor of Arts (Architecture)
programme (2005/2006), this exhibition is a
compilation of hypothetical explorations on
discovering what materiality of architecture could
be through the encounter with art and artists, and
the issues of context in relation to the old and
new. At the heart if the exploration lies the future
of the Old Supreme Court and City Hall, and the
civic district in which these historical buildings
are situated. |

City Exhibition
2006 |
| |
This year’s City Exhibition will showcase works done
and international awards won by both Architecture
and Industrial Design students at various levels of
their studies. The emphasis of the show would be the
thesis projects of graduating students, where each
student spent one year developing, from
conceptualization, problem identification, to a
design solution (and prototyping, for Industrial
Design). Our students have been awarded a
significant number of international and regional
awards in the last year and selected achievements,
including the five latest SARA (Society of
Registered Architects) New York awards, will be
displayed. Exhibits at the recent Salone
Internationale del Mobile (Milan International
Furniture Fair) can also be seen. This occasion will
also mark the conclusion of a two-year Joint Studio
Programme in Conservation between the departments of
architecture from the University of Malaya and the
National University of Singapore, sponsored by the
Tan Chin Tuan Foundation. Staff and student
representatives from both Universities will be
present to formally conclude the collaboration.
