Modernist 100.
The Modernist 100 list is a work in progress. It is an on-going documentation of the significant modernist buildings in Singapore. Do you see any significant building or landscape missing from this list? Please let us know here.
There is a large number and great diversity of buildings in Singapore that can be considered as modern. By modern, we are referring to not just architectural aesthetics but also constructional and environmental techniques, socio-economic processes, cultures, and political rationalities. The quantity and diversity are rooted in Singapore’s short but vibrant history variously as a colonial port city, a post-independent developmental state, and a contemporary global city. In this short introduction of the inventory list, we provide a brief sketch of how the shortlisted modernist buildings help to bring this rich socio-cultural history to life.

* The difference between a building being “threatened” and “not conserved” is not always a clear cut one. For this website, we classify a building as being “threatened” under a few circumstances—1. when it has been put up for sale by its owner(s) and there is a likelihood that it might be demolished in the name of redevelopment, 2. when it has been left empty and without tenants for a while and might be awaiting redevelopment, and/or 3. when a notice for demolition and redevelopment has been put up.
