The Spirit of Conservation Reclaiming and Retaining the Autonomy of Golden Mile Complex<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The Golden Mile Complex (GMC) was envisioned as a symbol of progress to Singapore to reflect a pristine society that would pioneer and materialize these realities, modelling the nation\u2019s agenda. It unfortunately failed as a testament and was infamously coined a \u2018Vertical Slum\u2019. Albeit originally meant to be demolished, GMC became gazette for conservation presumably for its significant architectural impact and value to Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We are now brought to question the kind of attitude that one should take, should Golden Mile be conserved. Golden Mile is a \u2018one-of-its-kind\u2019 as it is a development that is owned by multiple strata title owners. Hence, handling this case by traditional conservation means may not be feasible, all while dealing with other interested parties such as the authorities. My project seeks conversation methodologies that considers the diversity, plurality and the layers of autonomy that Golden mile encompasses, and to express than to suppress.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The \u2018Kit of Parts\u2019 recreate the desires of individual owners that allow the exercise of autonomy, providing a sense of freedom at a micro level. The autonomy of GMC is then allowed to emerge as a collective when individual autonomies unite, signified through the physical manifestations of owners\u2019 desires. While the \u2018Kit of Parts\u2019 provide individuals a sense of freedom and autonomy, it is also a subtle form of control with the limitation of choice to the range of available components. This range potentially reduces the \u2018slum\u2019 effect. Meanwhile, tracks and machines are introduced for constant defect checks to keep the building safe for habitation while doubling as a retainer to prevent the reoccurrence of \u2018selfish acts\u2019 that falls beyond the \u2018Kit of Parts\u2019 regime.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In hindsight, the thesis aims to achieve conservation that also mirrors the political environment of Singapore. Citizens are given a sense of autonomy on an individual level yet, represents and form the state as a collective where autonomy of GMC reflects a dichotomy of collectiveness and individualism. This means to say that everyone, be it as individuals or a collective, are simultaneously equal, where no one is better or of a higher hierarchy than another.<\/span><\/p>","grid_spacer":"0","grid_spacer_topbottom":"0","grid_spacer_width":"200","grid_spacer_height":"5","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-scaled.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-scaled.jpg",2560,1208,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-400x189.jpg",400,189,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-1024x483.jpg",1024,483,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-768x362.jpg",640,302,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-1920x906.jpg",640,302,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-1536x725.jpg",1536,725,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gm-03-Kit-of-Parts-2048x967.jpg",2048,967,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Nus MArch Gradshow","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/author\/nus-march-gradshow\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"[...]Read More...","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3607,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163\/revisions\/3607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163"},{"taxonomy":"supervisor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supervisor?post=163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
