Encounters Of Wood And Metal ; Facets Of Architecture In The City Squares And Suburbs In Singapore

In the corners of the 'Little India' in Singapore, one can see the colorful wooden structures built in traditional styles familiar to Indian streets preserved as such to have an archaic flavor of Indian air among the latest constructions in glass and metal that has been found almost everywhere in the city dwellings of Singapore.The spacious lanes and lawns kept in the old Indian style provides the lanes with some nostalgic air of history and art.The neat surroundings and pavements may have had an effect of the prosperity of the ultramodern living styles of the city but these colorful versions of Indian buildings brings into mind an old age of Indian living and Indian townships transplanted into another land of fashionable environment...The contemporary structures exclusively built in metals pose an encounter to the wooden structures found in vivid colors in the suburban lanes in Singapore...!!
