PURPOSE?
Experienced seniors doing this project, so we took
interest
Engineering week 2012
Relevance to both sabbatical and school context
RATIONALE
Need for conservation of heritage sites
We want to look back into the past, maybe
conserve or restore the building itself.
The use of different colours in different contexts
(e.g. why is the Baba House blue? Why are most
museums white or grey?)
Preservation of cultural roots by looking at our past
THESIS STATEMENT
The evolution of paint corresponds to the change of
culture.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
Research on the different meaning of colours to
different cultures
Find out in what way paint binders have changed
through the times and cultures, also with emphasis
on cultures.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO IT?
Mainly comprising of Internet research, but also references
to our external mentors like Mr Chin and Dr Yeo.
Possibly a few more visits to other conserved buildings
other than Baba House such as Chinatown and Little India
Use of oral history interviews on the archives or conducting
an interview on our own about evolution of paint.
RESOURCES
Use of readings by Mr Chin and Dr Yeo
Emailing Dr Yeo and Mr Chin to clarify our queries
Use of Internet
Analysis of paint scraps of Kuo Chuan House (if
possible)
