A Walking Tour: Singapore

by Gregory Byrne Bracken

A Walking Tour: Singapore
A Walking Tour: Singapore

Sketch-led stroll through Singapore’s layered cityscape

This feels like wandering Singapore with an architect friend who notices the little details you’d usually miss. The sketches give the city real personality, making its shophouses, temples, waterfront and colonial corners feel vivid and connected. If you like travel books that are both practical and charming, this one seems especially easy to love.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Singapore is a cosmopolitan city with towering skyscrapers and state-of-the-art buildings. Nestled within its modern architecture are vestiges of its British colonial past and its rich cultural history. From its sparkling waterfront to its quaint shophouses and from its temples to its mosques and churches, Singapore is as diverse architecturally as it is culturally. Architect G. Byrne Bracken captures the unique diversity that defines Singapore. Covering favourite places such as Chinatown, the Civic District and Orchard Road, this charming sketch-cum-guidebook will enrich your understanding of Singapore. This revised edition includes new drawings and text for several sights in Singapore, including Esplanade Theatres on the Bay and One Fullerton. Pertinent data, such as phone numbers and URL addresses, has also been updated. Three new maps have been added.
