	Architecture of Singapore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The architecture of Singapore has a long history with an unclear origin, as was the early history of the city-state itself.
		Found in abundance in the city centre today, however, are numerous districts and buildings harking back to the founding of modern Singapore in 1819 by the British as a result of agreessive conservation efforts of Singapore's built heritage since the 1970s.
		Today, the city is dominated by modern architecture, with the brutalist style particularly omni-present in the thousands of public housing high-rise flats.
