Golden Mile sliced open. One last glimpse of an old KTV mural from one of the many nightclubs which used to occupy the building. . It seems a long time ago that we were in here documenting the businesses as they moved out in 2022 / 2023 for the @unit.project book. . #goldenmilecomplex #sgarchitecture #architecture #architecturephotography #singapore

[TRAVEL] UNIT. goes beyond Singapore’s shores — landing in Bangkok with @spacebarzine and Taipei with @moom.cat . We’ve been taking small, steady steps to bring our stories across borders. Some doors stayed closed, but others have quietly opened. It's a new journey and we're here for it. . #theunitproject #goldenmile #goldenmilecomplex #architecturephotography #architecture #dezeen #sgarchitecture #sgarchitect #architizer #modernism #modernist #brutgroup #brutalism #brutalist #concrete #yellowtrace #noicemag #ffco #finbarrfallon #singapore #exploresingapore #natgeotravel #streetphotography #sgstreetcollective #streetshared #sgurbex

Speaking with @nonstickpanda and @ineztanauthor tomorrow night on @unit.project Golden Mile Complex and Daryl’s gorgeous book The Inventors, courtesy of @nlbsingapore Been thinking about how memory, place and story intersect in this complex city and home, Singapore.

Finally made it to Venice last month to check out the @labiennale . Had always wanted to go since my architecture school days, and having @unit.project there was the perfect reason to. Huge thanks to the @singapore.pavilion for including both volumes in Rasa-Tabula-Singapura. Thrilled to be a part of Singapore’s Table of Superdiversity🔥 #BiennaleArchitettura2025 #VeniceArchitectureBiennale

Swimming pool, Golden Mile Complex. This part of GMC was demolished over the past few weeks - making way for the new Aurea tower which will sit in its place. . I had the opportunity to access it for documentation a few years back. On the level below the pool there were changing rooms, with a direct link to the main building. . When we launched the @unit.project book, I had wanted to have the exhibition in here with a final ‘pool party’ and film screenings. A request which, of course was denied. . #theunitproject #goldenmile #goldenmilecomplex #architecturephotography #architecture #dezeen #sgarchitecture #sgarchitect #architizer #modernism #modernist #brutgroup #brutalism #brutalist #concrete #yellowtrace #noicemag #ffco #finbarrfallon #singapore #exploresingapore #natgeotravel #streetphotography #sgstreetcollective #streetshared #sgurbex

曾在伦敦生活的Finbarr Fallon于八年前移居 新加坡，带着“新鲜”眼睛审视日常中被我们忽略的事物。本地的建筑对许多人来说可能只是功能性的存在，但对他而言却都蕴藏着独特魅力和故事。他与好友Samantha Chia于2020年联手启动特别项目《UNIT.》——聚焦于探索新加坡建筑的内在美与历史意义。 从1970、80年代私人公寓到The Golden Mile Complex等独特建筑——不仅记录建筑形态也旨在讲述背后的生活与情感故事，展现了 新加坡建筑文化的丰富与独特性。( @fin.barr / @unit.project ) 点击Link in Bio阅读全文。 摄影 @peepshow 美术指导 @soishou 造型 @sjeto13 发型与彩妆 @unclebene Using Make Up For Ever 文 @jolinxhere #NYPeople #nuyousingapore #homeiswheretheartis #lifestyle

Book Talk: Old and Ugly? How Two Books on Aging Modernist Buildings in Singapore Challenge the Stereotype. . Aging modernist buildings in Singapore like the Golden Mile Complex and People’s Park Complex tend to be negatively perceived by some segments of the public as “old and ugly.” But this public perception is recently challenged, or at least complicated, by two new books. They are Singapore Strata Malls: A Retrospective for the Future and Unit. Volume 2: Golden Mile Complex. Join the authors Calvin Chua, Sam Chia, and Finbarr Fallon in this event to hear them talk about the little-known stories and intriguing analyses of Singapore’s modernist heritage using stunning visuals. . Copies of the books will be available for sale at the event. . Date: 24 Feb 2025 Time: 18:00-20:00 Location: SDE3 Level 4 LT422, Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore .
