Window as a reflection of Singaporeans’ cultural diversity

© Bojana Miskeljin, ETH Zürich, 2012

The context of the project is the cultural diversity among Singapore’s inhabitants. Over the past fifty years, Singapore has grown into Singapore by assembling different cultures such as Chinese, Indian, Islamic, Malay, and European. This project is focused on how the rich heritage of these cultures, which dates far back in time, can be cultivated – represented and multiplied with each other – into Singapore’s actual and virtual cultural identity. How can we create an abstract space that can actively remember these legacies, which all together make up the particular culture of Singapore? How identities can be extracted from their natural manifestations – the architectural space, in this case – and raised into a new form of expression; This project focuses on experimenting with windows as points of intersection, where different cultural identities compose their expressions. The hundreds of well-known window designs (from some of the diverse cultures that form Singapore’s identity) are used and merged into a new, genuinely abstract unit – a new articulation of a “Singaporean Window”. Research mentors: Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt, Dr. Phil. Vera Bühlmann.
