This reminds me of the New Asian Modernity... To answer your question about the essence of a souvenir, I believe a souvenir should always carry a personal memory of the place where it came from. Singapore Souvenirs, to me, are souvenirs of time. If we were to repeat this concept twenty years later and with a new generation of designers, the souvenirs might actually take the forms of ERP gantry gates and EZ-link cards. My question would be, can our foreign visitors identify with these souvenirs? Nice review, Grace! This reminds me of the New Asian Modernity…
