Speakers
Ar. Tan Cheng Siong
Ar. Tan Cheng Siong is a serial trailblazer in Singapore’s architecture, urban planning and landscape design over the last 50 years. His seminal works are. Pearlbank, Pandan Valley, Condominiums, the design and planning of DGPs -Jurong East (1991) and Pasir Ris 21 (1997). He was Advisor to the Shenzhen Planning Committee in the 80s and early 90s, and in the 80s he introduced Condominium Housing to China.
In recent years, he promoted Skyland, championed Voluntary Conservation, suggested plans to revitalise Kallang River and transformation of Singapore’s existing waterways into “River Front Homes”. Then came Creative Conservation postulating 3 ʻgold mines’ (Pearlbank, People’s Park Complex and the Pinnacle) and 3 parks (Pearl’s Hill Park, Duxton Plain Park and VMJ Park) amalgamated into a distinct creative urban district. In advocating Owner Development Plan (ODP) for existing condominium communities to continue and to provide them with updated facilities, amenities, places and spaces, he also emphasized creating community connectors and super connectors to ensure ownership security for sustainable Public and Private Housing. In this way, Pandan Valley and many Condominiums may be saved. In his recent feedback, he proposed to Draft Master Plan 2019 to include Community Connectors and Owner Development Plan for Condominiums.
