An Introduction To The Heritage Building of Singapore - George T Gray - 9786297646275 - Sunway University Press

Singapore boasts a 200-year legacy of remarkable
architecture, with some of the oldest buildings
dating back to the 1820s. Many of the districts
laid out by Sir Stamford Raffles in the city’s first
master plan still exist today. As the city expanded,
so did the need for administrative buildings,
places of worship, entertainment venues, and
residences, many of which remain outstanding
examples of heritage architecture in the region.
This book unveils the beautiful tapestry of
Singapore’s architectural heritage, featuring 30 of
its finest buildings and an illustrated list of over
20 notable structures. With a detailed map of key
heritage sites and transport access, together with
insights into the architects and engineers behind
these elegant landmarks, this book will deepen
your appreciation for this modern metropolis’
architectural legacy and historical treasures.
