As Singapore’s oldest housing estate, Tiong Bahru has long fascinated architects and design culture enthusiasts. In a country known for its many high-rise Housing Development Board (HDB) flats, the old estate stands out by not standing out. The historic architecture of Tiong Bahru consists of a number of low-rise buildings, now largely hidden by towering apartment buildings and condominiums of neighbouring neighbourhoods. Yet the area’s unique ambience and vintage aesthetics continue to draw an eclectic mix of people into the area. One of them, is Manuel Der Hagopian, a Swiss architect, who chose the estate as the perfect place to launch create TB80, a space for creatives and lovers of architecture to come together and exchange ideas through various events. We spoke to Der Hagopian to find out more about his latest project, and his passionate love for architecture and community.
You are an architect, running a highly successful architecture firm across Asia. Yet, you have created TB80 Space dedicated to specific exhibitions mixing photography, drawings, architectural sketches and more. Tell us more about the concept of TB80 Space.
TB80 Space is quite a young project. We had our first exhibition...
