The Labrador Park Visitor Interpretation Centre is a project for Labrador Park (Singapore) a site is rich in history, dating back to the 19th century. The building is based on manipulating the concept of beauty in age for environmental, contextual and emotional concerns in order to make a building which is low tech, low cost and full of experience. The first manipulation is to place the building in higher, more secluded area. This allows the public to journey over to the building and experience the park in a different height than existing buildings located on site, obtaining an overview of the whole area before entering the building. The second series of manipulations are based around collecting the cool Singaporean wind into the building, spatial poetics and orientating the building so that it takes advantage of the sun. With galleries that bring people back to the roots of the historical site as well as facilities complimenting the public’s needs, the building becomes a result of a series of spatial experiences making a piece of architecture which is ingrained in the site and promotes the notion of low tech sustainability.
