SINGAPORE – Food – always a juicy topic in Singapore – and architecture come together in a new book which explores in a delicious way how family-run eateries are interconnected with people, streets and landmarks.
Pink Chilli In A Bowl, put out by local independent publishing house Pagesetters Services, also includes essays and works by photographers and designers. She says streets are a crucial element of any city as they embody a large part of public life and the changing nature of a city. There are 12 stars which include Outram Park Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha at PSA Tanjong Pagar Complex in Keppel Road and Seng Hong Coffee Shop in Lengkok Bahru, Redhill.
“We started with something that is ubiquitous which is chilli paste or cut chilli in a pink melamine bowl, before noodles and soup are ladled in,” recalls Isabelle Der Hagopian. According to book contributor Ichioka, the eateries featured should be understood within their social, environmental, historical and policy contexts.
“These histories and intentions have created the ecosystem within which the eateries of Pink Chilli operate. My essays seek to make visible these connections, complementing the spatial constellations identified by Isabelle and Manuel.”Isabelle Der Hagopian also hopes to address a few misconceptions about Singapore through her book.
In line with AF’s theme, “Interim: Acts of Adaptation”, The Projector and the Embassy of Chile in Singapore present documentarian and activist Patricio Guzman’s Chile Trilogy. Some of the speakers lined up include Ms Theresa Lee, vice-president of product development and design at Capitaland Development, and Mr Chu Yang Keng, founder of Singapore-based regional practice IX Architects.The Archifest Pavilion, which is the centrepiece of the festival, is reimagined as dispersed urban installations around the festival site of Kampong Glam.
