URBAN ANALYSIS OF JOO CHIAT

DISCOVERING THE CULTURE OF JOO CHIAT At first glance, it seemed Joo Chiat had undergone numerous changes. Old businesses sit in contrast next to the new businesses along Joo Chiat Road. My group explored this phenomenon in our urban mapping, and its implications to the culture of Joo Chiat.

Based on Lily Kong’s analysis of the culture of Joo Chiat in 1995, we surveyed and interviewed a variety of businesses and passers-by to analyze the public’s perception of Joo Chiat.

CURATORIAL DOCUMENT

CURATING WORKS FOR THE GALLERY

The brief was to create a gallery space in Joo Chiat, featuring Ng Eng Teng’s work as part of the gallery’s permanent collection.

I chose 2 of his sculptures, ‘Contentment’ and ‘Wealth’ to put into the gallery.

I was drawn to the idea of creating almost a nonbuilding for these public works, to enable people to walk freely into the space so as to encourage interaction between the sculptures and the residents of Joo Chiat.

I started off with exploring how I could create different experiences of approaching the sculpture from afar, and when standing right in front of the sculptures.

CONTENTMENT AND WEALTH, NG ENG TENG I was interested in the textures, figurative yet abstracted forms and the juxtaposition of various elements within the sculpture.

PLACING THE SCULPTURES IN THE SITE

VIEWS FROM JOO CHIAT ROAD

In orientating the sculptures in the site, I took photos of the different ways of approaching the site, and aimed to engage the different circulation paths taken by people moving through Joo Chiat.

I wanted to create an experience where, as you approach the site, only parts of the sculpture could be seen, but as you move into the space, the two sculptures are revealed.

I also wanted to have different experiences for the old and new residents in Joo Chiat, according to how they usually approach the site.

CREATING PROSPECT AND REFUGE

I expanded on the idea of views to create spaces with different amounts of prospect and refuge, where one could see the sculpture without being seen. I attempted to use the language of varying heights and solid and void to create these spaces.
