Preservation VS Urbanization
Conservation Need for
Singapore to keep their cultural roots [Heritage]
Need for Singapore to urbanize so as to keep itself competitive on the World Stage
Urbanization

Conservation
Increasing need to keep cultural roots
Increasing need to preserve heritage sites
Increasing need for knowledge on how to preserve such sites

Protection against animals (Termites)
Protection
Use of arsenic
Use of copper based
chemical
Use of “softwood” stations

Uses of Wood E.g.
Teak– Commonly found in neighboring countries like Indonesia; termite resistant
Redwood– Used for bridal furniture (Peranakan)
Chengai Wood– Used for flooring

One also needs to consider the effects of weather on wood so as to ensure that the wood is well protected against
When one preserves architectural timbre, one needs to consider its uses and its cultural uses, lest the culture essence of it is lost.

Research Questions What are the traits of wood ?
How does it contribute to its usage? How has wood been imbued into the
various cultures? In particular, Baba chinese culture? Malay Culture

Research Questions What are the natural elements that
wood are pit against? E.g. Relative Humidity E.g. Rainfall
What are the effects of the environment on architectural timbre? E.g. Artifacts

Research Questions How does one protect wood against
animals such as termites, rodents etc. ? Fumigation? Arsenic
What were the traditional methods for protecting wood against animals
