Singapore City

Singapore Archifest returns to shake up the way we see architecture. Running from now till July 25, the 19th edition invites everyone – not just architects – to explore how design shapes our lives, with a spotlight on the Katong–Joo Chiat precinct. Swing by ArchiHouse, a retrofitted shophouse and public festival hub packed with thought-provoking exhibitions and hands-on workshops, including free crochet sessions on July 26 and August 2 with actor Edwin Goh. Keep your eyes peeled for a trail of semi-permanent public installations popping up across the neighbourhood too, like the striking ArchiPavilion at Roxy Square. With architects, chefs, fashion designers and DJs in the mix, this year’s theme, 'Don’t (Just) Think Like An Architect', goes beyond the conventional ways of thinking in architecture.

Step back in time at One Fullerton’s Seaview Channel, the walkway between Shake Shack and OverEasy. In time for SG60, The Fullerton Heritage has teamed up with local muralist Yip Yew Chong for Postcard Stories, a nostalgic pop-up installation that transforms the walkway into a walkable, larger-than-life throwback. Spanning 32 metres of hand-painted nostalgia, complete with 3D props, the mural reimagines iconic scenes from the 1960s and 70s – think Change Alley’s bustling trades and Merlion Park before its makeover. It’s charming, evocative, and  packed with little Easter eggs for sharp-eyed visitors. Whether you're a heritage buff or just love a great photo backdrop, this one’s made for leisurely strolls, story-sharing, and a dose of Singaporean pride.
