Intimacy - A Sense of Place
Rachel Loh
A park is commonly seen with people doing leisure activities to relax and enjoy. However, in Singapore, where it is a small country, places are often planned out in a very detailed and precise manner and are often built close together due to the lack of land.
East Coast park was a project mainly built on reclaimed land and it was created with a mindset for “recreation for all”. With this, I want to focus how various people that visit the park interact with this man made environment in a spaced constraint setting. It also brings in this issue of the artificiality of curated nature where roads, food centers and playgrounds are carefully planned to cater to the people’s needs which then forces an intamate relationship between human and nature.
