The Pearl Bank Apartment was an iconic brutalist residential skyscraper in Singapore. In 1976 it opened to a period of economic prosperity which was improving the quality of life for almost every resident. While it symbolized the epitome of success during its day, it has since lost its novelty. For the last few months, the building has been meticulously demolished without fanfare. In just a few weeks, it will be gone, leaving room to speculate on its legacy.
