Back in 2016, one of our DMP Grantees proposed a hypothetical modular design for a recycling sorting and maker space in a void deck. Great to see such ideas being championed further!

'It requires our authorities to move away from an attitude of so strictly regulating these spaces that they have become sterile, void of life.'

Join our friends at P!D for the playground hack!

Children in Singapore often have little influence on how play spaces are designed for them. The current design of public playgrounds is reduced to cookie-cutter, standardised equipment and numerous red-tape that limits its design. There are untapped opportunities to showcase the importance of play in and out of the classroom for the children’s development.

Calling all parents and kids! One day Pop-Up Play on 11 March, Sat at Bedok Town Plaza is a platform for us to co-create a new model of play environment where we would like to invite people to discover play and share with us your play stories and memories!

Help spread the love!

“We think that this is not altruism, this is not philanthropy. This is about fundamentally creating value,” he says. “The market for architecture is tiny; it’s like, ‘who can afford it?
