SINGAPORE CHINESE CULTURAL CENTRE A CULTURAL BEACON WITHIN AN URBAN FABRIC By Anwar Rashid
Sitting amid the dense urban development along Shenton Way within the bustling Central Business District, and with the defined Marina Bay skyline as a backdrop, the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) is adjacent to the Singapore Conference Hall (SCH), a national monument gazetted in 2010. The site in itself can be interpreted as a confluence of numerous activities that contributes to an urban fabric that is both vibrant and dynamic. Bottom right: The multipurpose rooftop space is planted with trees to provide shade and all-day comfort.

The SCCC will be a new civic and community institution. This development is an initiative by the Singapore Federation
of Chinese Clans Association to promote traditional and contemporary Chinese arts and culture in Singapore. The SCCC presents itself as a platform for the multicultural identities of Singapore; a place for socio-cultural interaction, networking and bonding. Programmatically, the SCCC will consist of facilities and spaces that cater to a variety of civic and cultural activities, such as outdoor event space, visual arts gallery, recital room, multipurpose hall, practice and rehearsal room, and a 530-seat auditorium. Other complementary programmes within the centre would include office spaces for SCCC, Business China, clans and agencies, as well as F&B components.
