I've been photographing buildings for a decade, and lately I'm questioning whether modern architecture has lost its sense of place. Last month I visited a new development in Singapore that could've been dropped into any global city—glass, steel, identical to what you'd find in Dubai or London. But then I walked through a preserved shophouse district and felt the difference immediately. How much should new architecture respect local context versus chasing global trends? I know costs and zoning play a role, but something feels off when cities start looking interchangeable.
