Kenyalang Park Collective Memories — Collaborative Insights
Communities, like individuals, evolve over time, with collective memories shaping their identity. As Year 2 Architecture students from Chung Yuan Christian University conclude their research in Kenyalang Park, their insights contribute to future revitalisation efforts, deepening the community's connection to its history.
History of Kenyalang Park
Kenyalang Park community's history began in the early 20th century with the Siang Hak Huat Farm, owned by Ng Bak Choon and his family. Following its sale to the Borneo Development Corporation, Kenyalang Park developed into a vibrant area with residential, commercial, and cultural spaces, highlighted by the bustling Kenyalang Theatre.
