Building Mode on a Transnational Perspective:A Case Study on the Restoration Projects of Shuanglin Monastery,a National Monument of Singapore
In the context of globalization and immigration,the architectural production between South China and Southeast Asia has shown a"two-way"flow.Based on the theories of Building Mode and Transnational Network,and by integrating local newspaper sources and field interviews,this study aims to analyze the conservation practices during the post-1990s renovation of Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery in Singapore and identify the driving forces behind value recognition.The study highlights a transnational collaborative process that combines transplantation and innovation with homeland practices in the renovation initiative,providing a precedent for heritage research from a regional perspective.
