Singapore Design Fest + WOHAGA

Upcoming WOHA events during the Singapore Design Festival (28 Nov -8 Dec)



WOHA Reflects

WOHA Reflects is an exhibition exploring and sharing how stimuli external to architecture are reflected in WOHA’s diverse design directions. By making explicit the cross-fertilization of external personal interests with professional creative directions, the exhibit continues the exploration of WOHA’s past works while offering an indication of WOHA’s future creative directions. The exhibition will display design research in progress, mockups and samples, and the stories behind the designs.

Venue: WOHAGA
Date: 28 November - 8 Dec

“LIEBE DEINE STADT- SAYANG SINGAPORE”

“Liebe Deine Stadt” is Cologne’s answer to Singapore’s en-bloc frenzy. The German initiative awards oversized medal ribbons and XXL-letter heads to buildings of the recent history. Several buildings of outstanding architectural quality have been commended in this way in the last two years. Most of these buildings were previously in the blind spot of both professionals and public, many of them designated for demolition and redevelopment before “Liebe Deine Stadt” celebrated their existence so visibly. What has started as an artist’s installation has now become a successful movement with prominent supporters. The talk “Liebe Deine Stadt – Sayang Singapore” in WOHAGA introduces the German initiative.

Patrick Bingham-Hall’s photo exhibition of the same name, also showing in WOHAGA explores the Singaporean context and counterparts.

Venue: WOHA Rooftop
Date: 29 November, 7pm
