Abstract
"Using the Waterloo Centre housing estate, Tom White visualises the negotiation of space in Singapore's public housing where residents carry out their daily lives, navigate codes of behaviour, respect each other's rights and manifest a modern day 'kampong spirit'. In shared areas such as common corridors and void decks, community members negotiate public and private space in a seemingly organic way. Does Singapore then really need a cultural policy to define 'kampong spirit'?" -- From Objectifs website.
