Singapore’s premier architecture event is set for a revamp this year, converging the prestige of the Singapore Institute of Architects’ (SIA) marquee awards and conferences, the appeal of trade-related events and the mass-market draw of the popular Architours into one grand celebration of architecture.
This new Singapore Archifest 2024 also aims to provide architects with a dynamic platform to engage in discussions and address industry challenges such as SIA’s Value Articulation Framework (VAF) and the ongoing work by SIA to tackle talent retention and fair and equitable fees.
Singapore Archifest 2024 will even have a star-attraction as it welcomes home the internationally-celebrated Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 Singapore Pavilion, which earned rave reviews. Named When is Enough, Enough? The Performance of Measurement, the exhibition seeks to demonstrate how traditional architectural standards of quantity and measurement are insufficient for assessing the lived experience of our cities. The exhibition was co-commissioned by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), DesignSingapore Council (DSG) and organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA).
