Note from the Shuang Lin Restoration Secretariat: “Little has been done in Singapore to educate people on the preservation of old buildings. It is unsurprising then that few regard preservation as being worthy of attention. What follows is an extract from a speech by a famous Chinese architect, Professor Liang Sicheng. It is our hope that it will help the reader to see that old buildings form an important part of our cultural heritage, and in the process appreciate what has been done in the Shuang Lin Restoration Project.
A building is a dwelling put up by people to solve the problem of housing. Over the ages, with advances in experience, knowledge and wealth, such dwellings have increased in sophistication.
The above explains what a building is, and the process emphasize that buildings are an important representation of the culture of different peoples. Preservation is important because through these old buildings, we acquire a stronger understanding of the past, and so become wiser in the present.
