Vanishing Craftsmen

Wherever we are from, we remember snacking on ice cream from mobile carts, catching a glimpse of hunched over men crafting furniture, whim of delicious scents coming from open kitchens, and the all familiar red brick structures we thought looked like houses from 'Hansel and Gretel'.

Vanishing Crafts, here, are of all colours & shapes, peeking through the memories of the young and old, giving depth and texture to our rapidly-modernising city. In the face of commercialisation, redevelopment, changing tastes, and better job opportunities they fade rapidly, into forever.

Before we miss them all, let's walk among Singapore's impressive buildscape, contrasting that with what we experience and hear first-hand from residents of their tales in our favourite neighbourhood.
