Chinatown is the heart of personal history for many Singaporeans, including myself who grew up herewith the fondest memories of the Majestic Theatre (大华剧场) and Kreta Ayer People’s theatre(牛车水人民剧场).In the 70s and 80s, watching movies and opera performances were favorite family past times. One big festivals like Chinese New Year and Mid- Autumn, shopping at People’s Park Complex(珍珠坊) was always a highly anticipated affair. This design is a celebration of all these memories, which are akin to movie scenes that never fade away.
