Pastel Portraits: Singapore's Architecturalheritage [7th Reprint 1999]

by Liu, Gretchen

About This Book

Pastel Portraits, first published in 1984, is an architectural classic in Singapore as it championed and pioneered the campaign to conserve Singapore's built environment. It is also the first book to document, analyse and appreciate the wonderfully rich and eclectic tradition of Singapore's pre-World War II architecture, in particular the row houses. All these were in danger of being demolished in the name of urban renewal and development. In full colour.
