Singapore’s Golden Mile Complex is an important icon of 1970’s Metabolist urbanism, yet it faces imminent demolition; as part of a progressive nation building programme. I speculates on an alternative vision for this residential block, that not only saves the building, but allows it to absorb physical artifacts from Singapore's threatened urban infrastructure. A prototype for an alternative pattern for future development in architecture; capable of allowing new and existing residents to forge new memories, whilst giving space for the past to breathe and urging us to cherish our urban memories.
