IMPERMANENCE

The Singapore Night Festival (SNF) is an annual event organised by National Heritage Board (NHB) as a means of promoting arts and culture. The 2020 edition of the festival aims to showcase a series of installations and performances that creatively explores innovation in the space of tradition and the future of heritage. The proposed art work should draw inspiration and take reference from the contemporary and historical context of the Bras Basah/ Bugis District as well as to encourage festival-goers to experience a showcase of light installations that interact with and transform the urban spaces within the area.

​

Impermanence aims to draw from the site's rich history in the form of the three interwoven elements: the Stamford Canal, Bras Basah's development as a district. and the Convict Labourers who laid its foundations, will be brought to Stamford Road in a display of light and sound. This is realised through the spatial formalisation of a modular, parametrically-designed structure
