Corridors of Diversity (2019) - a short film on Singapore's HDB public housing and built environment

- Filmed in Singapore, “Corridors of Diversity” is a multi-layered showcase of urban planning, architectural and day-to-day elements that characterised the urban image of this high density city state. This short film is a montage of communal corridors along various HDB blocks of different regions, subzones and neighbourhoods, of different designs, each offering a unique view that forms an integral piece of the Singapore built environment.
I first started this project as a photographic series almost 3 years ago. While it all started unintentionally, over the years it has become a very important milestone for my photographic (and now) videographic pursuit. This project allowed me to grow as a photographer, it also made me aware of the constant changes Singapore’s built environment is going through. Many places have changed so much, some have even disappeared, and as such I decided to spend another 5 months of my time to document the project through another medium, more for keepsake of a place in time, which is how this short film came about. It may not capture every part of the island but I tried to include as much of the urban planning elements as possible, from zoning, land use, parks and waterbodies to urban, architectural and landscape design that helped to add on a distinctive character to different neighbourhoods. I hope someday I will be able to capture more corridors from all over the world. The short film was inspired by Wes Anderson's signature symmetrical compositions.
Let’s take a walk down scenic lanes of these ordinary but beautiful corridors and rediscover Singapore’s diverse urban landscape from a fresh perspective.

Alamak so poetically beautiful. It removes the suckiness of living jampacked with other ppl and their crap and stench like hamsters.
Thank you!
Great video! Part of my undergrad was in Architecture and was very deep into classical music through my studies. What a great mix! Creative content man. Subbed~
thank you! we have a lot in common, I am an architectural photographer and enjoyed classical music too, really glad you like this, take care and lets stay in touch 😃
@@KevinSiyuan Yeah most definitely! And awesome, architectural photographer! You'd love Taipei at the moment, so much construction! I plan to do some walking tours inside most of the new buildings once they open!
Singapore is top notch
A typo has been spotted, it should be "Bendemeer". Thanks Michelle for pointing it out. I must have been influenced by the Green Book, should have stick to the "e", my apologies!
one meter one nation one singapore and we ae all together.
social distancing ar 😂
Wow impressive...
thank you Godfrey
awesome video
thanks for watching!
WOW
Amazing 👏
thanks for your kind words!
impressive! im a fan now hehe i used to live in Lengkok Bahru for few years and the last corridor, did you took that in Jalan Batu? looks like where i live now LOL
thank you so much for your kind words 🙂 really appreciate it. Yes that's right its filmed in Jalan Batu, haha its like one of the popular and signature HDB slab block flats in Singapore, so glad I get to know a resident here 😃
@@KevinSiyuan cool... haha i did not imagine our block will look so good in a video LOL haha
haha, many of the older HDB slab blocks look good and also can be really comfortable to walk along, such as the Bukit Purmei block. You could hear the chimes of Church of St Teresa and enjoy the great view. Sadly many are disappearing already
@@KevinSiyuan i agree, I am not a local here but living here for quite some time it makes me feel sad to see those buildings are slowly fading away, one HDB that I really feel sad when it was torn down is the colorful HDB in Rochor, any way you are very good in capturing and editing... KEEP IT UP, looking forward to your future uploads, cheers!
Wonderful but a better ending might have more impact?
Indeed great suggestion!
