Abstract<\/h4>\r\n

What does it mean for the architecture when what is deemed as important heritage is not the building, but the activities contained within<\/strong>? Despite the emphasis on the intangibility of Singapore\u2019s Hawker Culture, we seem unable to separate it from its perceived physical vessel: Hawker Centres<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n

Culture is not static<\/strong>. Food consumption, preparation and purchasing practices have changed much since hawker centres were first implemented. Neither is our culinary landscape, our foodscape<\/em>, made from just kitchens and dining tables.<\/strong> Changes in food distribution and production methods would also greatly affect the way we buy and consume.<\/p>\r\n

However, the concept of hawker centres<\/em>, both as a typology and as a program, has remained frozen in time, isolated from changes in the foodscape<\/em>. Design ideas put forth in the 1970s are still largely replicated in recent years, albeit with a fresh coat of paint.<\/p>\r\n

Our hawker culture cannot and should not be constrained within such an outdated concept with a single fixed program and typology. Rather, it is the ecosystem of a variety of food sites and activities<\/strong>, linked by their roles in the foodscape, that truly expresses the vibrancy of such an urban culture.<\/p>\r\n

Acupunctural insertions at these various sites in the neighbourhood are used to reinforce existing relationships and create new ones between formerly disconnected spaces. A common architectural language serves not to standardise, but to highlight the relationships between each other.<\/p>\r\n

This is a physical message representing our intangible culture.<\/p>\r\n

It is a message, to food, with love.<\/p>\r\n
