We had a walking tour of the Kampong Gelam area in<br />
Bugis. This is a culturally significant area in Singapore for<br />
the Malay community as it comprise the previous Istana<br />
(the Palace for the Sultan of Singapore) and the main<br />
Mosque Masjid Sultan. The pandemic and the nearby<br />
construction site has had a detrimental effect on the area<br />
which sees less foot traffic due to the lack of tourists. It<br />
was great to have an introduction to unassuming districts<br />
that held great historical value and understand how the<br />
current community works together to conserve the<br />
cultural aspects of the area. We had fun and it was nice<br />
to finally have our first walk after the pandemic as an<br />
office.<br />

The Hong Kong Lighting Detectives started to have events<br />
since 2016. After long hiatus due to the pandemic, we<br />
finally had one night walk event in the West Kowloon<br />
Cultural District. This area is one of the largest cultural<br />
projects in the world, combining art, education, open<br />
space, retail, restaurants, and entertainment facilities.<br />
The aim of the project was to investigate architectural<br />
and landscape lighting, and its impact on the<br />
neighbourhood. A review session was held after the<br />
walk. Each group shared and discussed interesting<br />
perspectives on architectural and landscape lighting.
