SG101 Heritage: Peranakan Beadwork

Friday, 4 December 2009

7.30 pm – 8.30 pm

The POD, Level 16

National Library Building

100 Victoria Street

 

So integral is the culture of beadworks to the Straits Chinese society that beadworks are apparent not just in kasut manek, the beaded slippers made and worn by Peranakan women but are also featured in bolster-end and table-covers. Reflecting intricacies and a taste for fine arts, bead weaving is an important skill of utmost importance to the Peranakan society.

 

Join Bebe Seet, the Peranakan doyenne of beadworks, as she shares her passion and love for beadworks and embroidery. As part of her recently launched book, Bebe Seet, owner of a Peranakan Heritage boutique shop, Rumah Bebe, will also demonstrate some beading techniques.

SG101 ArtsReally Ar? 4: Mixed-use Developments – How they Work, Adapt and Influence

Monday, 23 November 2009

7.00 pm – 9.30 pm

The POD, Level 16

National Library Building

100 Victoria Street

 

Really Ar? is a platform for critical and open sharing of design ideas organised by ReallyArchitecture (re:ACT). This year, we will discuss Singapore’s changing urbanscape. Newer, bolder and more creative concepts in property development, architecture and urban design are transforming the Singapore experience in a big way. These projects often involve complex undertakings including inter-disciplinary collaborations amongst large teams to formulate a unique real estate product.

 

The forum invites leading creators of mixed-use developments from around the world to discuss the influence of these developments in cities and an insight into their future. Mixed-use developments can have far-reaching impacts on the urban economy, transportation networks, people and their lifestyles and have the potential to catalytically spur new growth in their immediate environment.

 

Come and open your mind to new ideas for our built environment! Visit www.reallyarchitecture.org or email info@reallyarchitecture.org for more details.
