WOHA : selected projects : Vol. 2

WOHA Architects have set about implementing what might possibly be described as t̀he architecture of the new Asia',where respect for place and tradition must be offset by the intimidating social realities of the 21st century, where architectonic aspirations must be tempered by the limitations of construction techniques, and where - above all - problems must be solved. WOHA's recent work has demonstrated an absolute clarity of thought and an almost cussed pragmatism: one which single-mindedly prioritised programmatic innovation over formal games. WOHA resolutely set about improving the architectural models, as they perceived them, of Singapore (and by extension throughout Southeast Asia), and their approach has been unflinching: they operate in their own rarefied world of virtuous creativity. This monograph written and photographed by Patrick Bingham Hall details each of these projects, and examines the theoretical evolution and practical experience that has underpinned such a prolific and influential architectural practice in Singapore.
