For the past few weeks we had been studying about history and theory of the landscape architecture of the various places in the world. Now at last we are studying about something in South-East Asia. But this is not something new which we have never come about. Other than the indigenous religions and beliefs, there have also been a spread of religions and philosophies from other parts of Asia. Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism are the main beliefs that had traveled all their way here. Of course, with a few alternation and a combination with the native landscapes, both landscapes and architectures have evolved.
Perhaps one of the most popular style in SEA is the Balinese style..........It seems that Singapore do not have a style of its own. Or maybe it is too modernized by contemporary theories. All even perhaps we do have a style of our own: with the signature HDB flats and those big storm water canals as the primary elements of THE SINGAPORE LANDSCAPE!!!
