To mark its 60th with a bang, the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) is cranking up its annual affair Archifest with a fresh edition. This time, they're going all out with the theme "Interim: Acts of Adaptation" – think of it as an exploration of how our city's architecture evolves and dances to the beat of change. Set in the historic Kampong Gelam precinct, this month-long extravaganza showcases impressive installations, immersive workshops, intriguing talks, and more. Brace yourself for a season of innovation and revelation as Archifest takes over our urban spaces in an unprecedented manner.
Look forward to installations at six sites across Kampong Gelam created by emerging designers as well as an exhibition showcasing architectural projects from Singapore and the region. Contributors include SEED Architects, Studio Karya, The Open Workshop, WY-TO Group and several others. Catch short films at the Interim Cinema exploring themes revolving around architectural and land redevelopment practices. Additionally, attend guided tours that will take you around some of the city's latest architectural developments.
In collaboration with Hidden Singapore, there will also be an interactive outdoor game led by a Whatsapp chatbot where participants can discover hidden stories of Kampong Gelam.
