Tutor's Notes // Sundays In Between revolves around the politics of public space, specifically the unequal access of such spaces for different publics. Sited within the ageing modernist mall Peninsula Plaza, a haunt for the Singaporean Burmese migrant community, Ye Thu adopts an ethnographic approach, including making a documentary, to examine how parallel public spaces might be designed and constructed using slim but creative means. Occupying three of the mall’s interstitial spaces, the thesis inserts cultural difference and spontaneous life into the mall by accommodating a market, a performance stage and a place for street food carts. These microsites opportunistically braid into each other, forming a labyrinthine network for its key public. Although liminal and sequestered from the main thoroughfare, the smells and sounds of their transient users permeate momentarily into the “outside”, percolating the official public realm. The interstices between this in-between condition and more visibly sanctioned public spaces are sensitively negotiated. Entry/exit points are ambiguous, subtle rather than confrontational. The thesis takes on the volatile issues of race, class and nationality. How does architecture support foreign companionship particularly amongst blue collar and domestic workers? The spontaneous construction of a Burmese enclave within a forgotten mall follows a circular economy in its choice of materials (light bamboo scaffolds, fabric screens, and aggregate walls), its opportunistic use but accompanying care for a declining space, and taps on this new public’s abundant maker skills. Through such acts, Sundays In Between calls us to imagine an inclusive and sustainable public, and a space made by/with them.
