Back for its ninth edition, architecture festival Archifest is happening Sep 26-Oct 10 with a series of fringe events and activities. The most popular, we suspect, will be Architours, a walkabout of the city’s urban landmarks.
On the more cerebral front, there’s Why Architect?, a dialogue about how to realize your dream home and L’aperitif – Italian Design in Asia, a conference by Association of Italian Designers & Architects and LopeLab. The design-centric festival also features art exhibitions about the urbanization of Singapore: Tabula Merah, an interactive mural installation and Plot, a digital art series by local photographer Caleb Ming.
But wait, there’s the obligatory nod to nostalgia at Old Places and Old Romances. The free two-part film screening by directors Royston Tan, Eva Tang and Victric Thng waxes lyrical about personal experiences and memories of places slated for redevelopment. Get your tickets here.
