The NUS Baba House at 157 Neil Road is not just a living heritage museum, it is also a place to learn more about using traditional building materials such as lime plaster in restoration work. Dr Nikhil Joshi, a conservation expert, reflects on why this is important. The NUS Baba House was restored and curated by the NUS Department of Architecture, NUS Museum, The Peranakan Association of Singapore and URA from 2006 to 2008. This video is presented in October 2019 as part of URA’s celebration of 30 years of conservation in Singapore since 1989.
