HDB estates remain a hallmark of the unique identity that defines the daily lives of Singaporeans. 'Off-Centred Detours' spotlights this by conceptualising a regional field guide series highlighting unique offerings within some of Singapore’s heartland estates. Starting off with Yishun and Sembawang, the inception of this project derives from the country’s economic position in tourism. Deemed as an island resort full of shopping, attractions and various cultural experiences. This zine hopes to reframe neighbourhoods as destinations in their own right, with a curated walkthrough of local offerings. It specifically aims to target visiting expats and tourists planning on exploring unique findings of Singaporean everyday life away from the city centre. The format of this guide was intentionally designed to be reminiscent of travel pamphlets, long, slim, and easy to carry with one hand.
