Still life with calendars
Surrounded by jungle in which tigers, elephants, and crocodiles roamed, the British laid down something familiar in downtown Yangon, a grid. Throughout the late 1800s, military engineers Fraser and Montgomerie and the British-run Public Works Department redesigned Yangon, controlling every aspect of city’s spatial development from block length to water supply and sewer drainage. This building, located in the Pabedan Township in central Yangon, sits in middle of Fraser and Montgomerie’s imagined city. Today the apartment serves both as a printing press and a residence. In February, it appeared on the list of buildings up for auction.
