About this lecture:
Annabelle Tan is the most decorated student in the 186-year history of the RIBA President’s Medals, having won both its prestigious Silver and Dissertation Medals in 2022, adding to her Bronze in 2019. In this lecture, she will be discussing her master’s project “Past, Present and Post-Tropicality”, which investigates the notions of ‘tropicality’ in the context of Singapore. Historically, concepts of nature, comfort, civil behaviour and progress have been shaped by depoliticised agendas grouped under the umbrella of ‘tropicality’.
