My piece is from our February sketchwalk at Pearl’s Hill Higher Barracks.
The house was Operations Centre for the Singapore police put up, who vacated the constructing in 2001. In its heyday, the place had seen a lot motion because it dealt with avenue riots in Singapore’s racially-turbulent previous, merely a long time in the past.
In the present day it stands as a testomony to the significance of racial concord that Singapore is now recognized for. And the way becoming that it’s getting used as an artwork enclave with many studios and such, ‘cos artwork transcends boundaries and unites individuals.
Sadly it’s slated to be demolished within the title of city redevelopment.
A stunning metropolis to reside and work in as it could be, one factor about Singapore is the fast-changing panorama; scenes don’t remain the identical for very lengthy, all within the title of progress and financial improvement.
Glad we bought to come back and sketch this place earlier than it’s no extra.
