Due to the growth of population in Singapore, the need of new housings is inevitable. As a result, the natural landscape is urbanised. Although both governmental sector and local architectural firm such as WOHA have been seeking to find ways of alleviating the imbalance between urban expansion and environmental preservation in Singapore, their solutions do not seem absolute and sustainable. Based on my personal observation and consideration, opposing elements and discordant juxtapositions are explored and employed to reflect my discomfort and sympathy toward the incongruence between the intrusive rise of residential buildings and the fall of green Singaporean heritages.
