Singapura Stories
Singapura Stories is an independent collaborative platform begun in July 2012 focusing on the recovery and sharing of architectural and social histories with the associated cultural memory of buildings, neighbourhoods, settlements, and communities that are no longer extant. It is committed to public education and sharing of these place histories through seminars and forums. It has also facilitated public discussion of findings by independent researchers, with the aim of gathering like-minded individuals with shared interests in specific topics and encouraging documentation efforts by former residents of expunged places.
