On 17 August 2024, Docomomo Singapore ran a workshop for our volunteers at the National Library of Singapore.
On 20th January 2024, Docomomo Singapore organised a tour of C-1 Holland Park, a rare and highly intact 1960s private residence designed by local pioneer architect, the late William Lim, when he practised with Malayan Architects Co-Partnership. Led by Docomomo founding member Ronald Lim and contributor Jacob Meyers, the sold-out event was part of the ‘Eat Play Love’ exhibition produced by local artist Tan Ngiap Heng, the youngest child of the late Dr Tan Kheng Khoo and Mdm Gunn Chit Siew, for whom the house was built.
A rare opportunity to experience the unadulterated creative vision of one of Singapore’s most important modernist architects at Docomomo Singapore architecture tour at C-1 Holland Park.
Curated by Ronald Lim, a founding member of Docomomo Singapore, the beautifully designed and meticulously assembled exhibition features over 500 archival artefacts from the architectural firms William Lim Associates and W Architects. The former was founded by the late pioneer architect William S. W. Lim. When Lim retired in 2003, the firm was renamed W Architects and Mok Wei Wei took the helm. The exhibition is based on the archival materials donated by Mok, who is also Docomomo Singapore’s advisor, to the Singapore Architecture Collection.
If you missed these two tours, fret not. We are in the midst of planning for a few more tours, including a tour of a rare 1960s modernist house that has been well-preserved in its original conditions. The house was designed by one of the most important modernist architectural firms in Singapore. Join our mailing list and you will be among the first to be informed about our forthcoming tours.
Join us at Bukit Timah Turf Club on the walking tour and explore one of Singapore’s more unusual 20th century modern landscapes replete with vast lawns and lush greenery - recently earmarked for future redevelopment.
On 26 March 2022, Docomomo Singapore conducted two public tours of the House of the late Lee Kip Lin. At each of these two sold-out tours, Dr Lai Chee Kien gave a brief talk outlining the histories of private housing estates in Singapore and the professional life of Mr Lee Kip Lin. That was followed by a tour of the house and the garden conducted by Mr Lee Peng Hui, the son of Mr Lee Kip Lin.
