As for my concept, Im using contrasts between past and the present to replay the physical space. Take Boat Quay for example, it is an entertainment scene. With an eclectic mix of high end restaurants and alfresco dining and lively bars and pubs, Boat Quay is arguably the favourite place to “chill out” for most professionals and expatriates.
Imagine that only a century ago, Boat Quay was the hothouse for trading. When Raffles signed the agreement securing the auspicious title of free port for Singapore, this instantly opened the floodgates of immigrants from neighbouring countries. Within six months, a familiar scene in this location was sun-tanned coolies balancing heavy gunny-sacks of rice on their shoulders, with springy gangplanks under their feet, loading and unloading a bewildering plethora of produce.
From there, we can use sounds like rice grains falling of from the rice sack, wooden planks creaking, or even coolies having conversation using dialects to bring back the memories of the past.
