New York City with the majestic Empire State Building, London with the Big Ben, San Francisco with its Golden Gate Bridge, and so on. Our country had used to be closely associated with the silhouette of a Merlion, proudly illustrated and splashed across tourist souvenirs of all sorts from keychains to somewhat tacky t-shirts.

But in recent years of architectural development, it seems that we’re increasingly becoming known for something else.
