description |
The streets that we have grown accustomed to in Singapore have lost their
significance over time. Traditionally, these streets were used and
identified in remarkably distinctive ways by different generations. This
had created intangible street names and valuable stories that were passed
down from generation to generation via word of mouth. However, gone
are the days when Singapore’s current generation have much knowledge
of these streets today.There is an urgent need to extract and collect stories from Singapore’s
current silver generation that still retains the knowledge of these names
and associated stories. The research aims to uncover the effect that
personal stories have on intangible street heritage in Singapore. It intends
to create separate mediums that could enable such stories and experiences
to continue to be passed down through greater outreach. Through this
documentation, the project endeavours to preserve and appreciate local
streets and contribute to both Singapore’s heritage and history. |
