Singapore is a city where there are many examples of modern architecture, but you will still find many buildings of colonial architecture from the time of its founding by Sir Stamford Raffles and constructions of Malay, Chinese and Hindu influences. you would be surprised to find all kinds of temples of all the religions imaginable that give the city a marked multicultural character. It is an ideal time to visit this city-state.
This industrial visit to Singapore, you’ll see a range of influences and styles from different places and periods. These range from the eclectic styles and hybrid forms of the colonial period to the tendency of more contemporary architecture to incorporate trends from around the world. In both aesthetic and technological terms, Singapore architecture may be divided into the more traditional pre-World War II colonial period, and the large modern post-war and post-colonial period.
Traditional architecture in Singapore includes vernacular Malay houses, local hybrid shophouses, and black and white bungalows, a range of places of worship reflecting the ethnic and religious diversity of the city-state as well as colonial civic and commercial architecture in European Neoclassical, gothic, palladian and renaissance styles.
