Speakers Dr. Jeffrey Cody, Senior Project Specialist, Education, Getty Conservation InstituteProf. Ho Puay Peng, Conservation Consultant and Head, Department of Architecture, NUSDr. Song Jie Won, Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Architecture, NUSModerator Dr. Imran bin Tajudeen, Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, NUSSynopsis In 2018, four of the most iconic modernist buildings in Singapore are threatened with demolition. Pearl Bank Apartments was sold in a collective sale earlier this year. Golden Mile Complex, People’s Park Complex and Golden Mile Tower all have en bloc committees formed and might soon be sold. As none of these buildings have been gazetted for conservation, the developers who purchase them through collective sales are unlikely to keep and rejuvenate these structures. Many have argued that the erasure of these important material artefacts of Singapore’s nation building and urban renewal history might represent an irremediable loss for the society’s collective memory. How did Asian cities – such as Hong Kong and Tokyo – with higher land value and stronger development pressure manage to conserve and rejuvenate their modern buildings? How did policy incentives from the authorities, creative solutions from the developers and innovative collaborative approaches between the different stakeholders help to bring about the socio-economically successful conservation of modern buildings in these cities? In this forum, we invite three experts of heritage conservation to share with us their insights on these cases and issues.
