This research project aims to facilitate new ways to look at Singapore's search for it's cultural identity. Over the last four decades, Singapore has thrust itself forward, moving from a developing nation to a first world country due to rapid urbanization and globalization (Lee, 2000). However, this accelerated change has created a difficulty with defining a strong cultural identity of Singapore, especially amongst the younger generation. Along this premise, this project hopes to investigate the question on what is Singapore's cultural identity through the use of design fiction - to tease, reflect and present possible ideas based on the understanding of the past, present and future, of what cultural identity is and could be.
