Book Synopsis Learning from the Singapore Shophouse by : Tut Chuan Guan
Download or read book Learning from the Singapore Shophouse written by Tut Chuan Guan and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The need for a sustainable tropical architecture is highlighted and the Singapore shophouse is identified as an architectural heritage to be mined for solutions for such an architecture. As a vernacular form developed before the modern era of carefree use of energy, the shophouse offers lessons in achieving urban livability on a low resource budget. The shophouse is described and then the schemes of the Green Mark, New Urbanism, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Neighborhood Development, and Pattern Language are brought in to evaluate elements of the shophouse that can be borrowed and applied in a new architecture. Various adaptations for modern needs are also explored. The limitations of the shophouse and of this study are discussed. This sets the context for a program for further study, which starts with calibrations for functional specifications versus costs. An inventory of vernacular forms will then be built up within a framework of these two dimensions to serve as a library of possible solutions.

This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to place names in Singapore. Place names tell us much about a country – its history, its landscape, its people, its aspirations, its self-image. The study of place names, ‘toponymics’, unlocks the myriad interlocking stories that are encoded in every street and landmark. In Singapore, the coexistence of various races, cultures and languages, as well as its history of colonisation, immigration and nationalism, have given rise to a complex tapestry of place names. Alkaff Quay, Coleman Bridge, Ann Siang Hill, Bukit Merah – how did these places get their names? Nee Soon or Yishun? Serangoon Road or Tekka? First published in 2003 as Toponymics, this updated and expanded edition of the book incorporates a wealth of new findings, from archival research and interviews, and sets out to answer these questions – and any question that might be asked about the origin, meaning or significance of place names in Singapore
Book Synopsis The Shanghai Alleyway House by : Gregory Byrne Bracken
Download or read book The Shanghai Alleyway House written by Gregory Byrne Bracken and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a nineteenth-century commercial development, the alleyway house was a hybrid of the traditional Chinese courtyard house and the Western terraced one. Unique to Shanghai, the alleyway house was a space where the blurring of the boundaries of public and private life created a vibrant social community. In recent years however, the city’s rapid redevelopment has meant that the alleyway house is being destroyed, and this book seeks to understand it in terms of the lifestyle it engendered for those who called it home, whilst also looking to the future of the alleyway house. Based on groundwork research, this book examines the Shanghai alleyway house in light of the complex history of the city, especially during the colonial era. It also explores the history of urban form (and governance) in China in order to question how the Eastern and Western traditions combined in Shanghai to produce a unique and dynamic housing typology. Construction techniques and different alleyway house sub-genres are also examined, as is the way of life they engendered, including some of the side-effects of alleyway house life, such as the literature it inspired, both foreign and local, as well as the portrayal of life in the laneways as seen in films set in the city. The book ends by posing the question: what next for the alleyway house? Does it even have a future, and if so, what lies ahead for this rapidly vanishing typology? This interdisciplinary book will be welcomed by students and scholars of Chinese studies, architecture and urban development, as well as history and literature.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Luxury by : Paul McGillick, Ph.D
Download or read book Sustainable Luxury written by Paul McGillick, Ph.D and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sustainable architecture and design book featuring elegant photographs and showcases the ultra-modern homes of Singapore. Singapore is celebrated as one of the most livable cities in Asia, and Sustainable Luxury shows how the prosperous, forward-looking nation is pioneering innovative solutions for environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues faced the world over. Dr. Paul McGillick, the author of The Sustainable Asian House (Tuttle, 2013), presents twenty-seven recent residential projects created by Singapore's most talented architects to address the many complex and interconnected aspects of sustainability. Some of the homes featured here emphasize environmental needs, while others are concerned with preserving cultural traditions or supporting societal and interpersonal needs--such as extended family dwellings. Each residence, however, exhibits solutions developed from a holistic point of view. These homes typically embrace the tropical climate rather than fight it, and illustrate how smart manipulation of air flows, light, shade, water, and landscaping sustain higher levels of comfort without resorting to air-conditioning. In addition to profiling individual residences, Sustainable Luxury looks at the big picture, canvassing the most pressing issues--including changing demographics and lifestyles--and examining the available solutions. Anyone concerned with the future of our world will be fascinated by the houses presented here and the ways in which Singapore is leading the way in the development of residential architecture that is as luxurious as it is sustainable.
