Arranged Spaces at NTU ADM Portfolio

Traditional provision shops have been around Singapore for quite a long time. Recognised as a vanishing trade and essential to Singapore’s heartland heritage, this has led National Heritage Board (NHB) to commission a research team to document a portion of the shops in 2011. There were also several other non-governmental studies involving this area. Till this date, documentation of these shops includes only their life, history, general objects and use of the shop as a context for film. Therefore, this study aims to provide another aspect of documentation by exploring the spaces and unique aspects of each individual shop.
