Singapore Pavilion
Although we often say that Singapore does not have a strong identity as it is made up of a melting hotpot of cultures, what is iconic to Singapore lies in what we identify with as uniquely Singaporean behaviour. The ideal pavilion would be made to represent the Kallang Wave. The Kallang Wave has its origins from the old National Stadium, and is a representation of Singaporean pride, community and togetherness. It is usually performed at mass events such as the National Day Parade, and sports activities, particularly in Football matches. The Kallang Wave is performed by having rows of people standing and waving their hands up one after another, creating a wave-like formation that ripples through the entire stadium.
The pavilion would behave somewhat like Ned Kahn’s Wind Arbor, a site-specific installation at the Marina Bay Sands.
