Kampong Glam

Singapore is one of the most splendid country in the world. In spite of small size, there is many space of interest and is modernization. Has many shopping center, tourist resort… etc., and all these things are new.
As a foreigner, It feels artificial. But there is contrasted place in urban surroundings.
This space in the Kampong Glam, Malay district.
It’s abandoned place. Building has coal trace by past fire and many part paints came off. And beside it, there is undressed nature.
But it’s very impressive space to me.
Green moss that is covering building shows traces of time, and harmonizes with side’s undressed nature. Light which enter through tree branches makes soft atmosphere.
This place gives mental comfort in urban surroundings. It felt as stay away a tempo.
This place was derelict, but is not derelict.
Because, it has function as necessary place to people.
