The Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) and the National Library Board (NLB) are jointly organising “Singapore Architecture 101” – one of a series of “Singapore 101” talks. These talks will showcase the various facets of Singapore heritage and culture. One of the main objectives is to keep the public enlightened and updated on all things Singapore.

“Singapore Architecture 101” provides an insight to the changing landscapes of Singapore, the development of architectural design in Singapore, and the achievements of our local architects. Apart from highlighting Singapore’s award-winning architectural designs and Singaporean architects who have won numerous accolades (both locally and internationally), the talk will retrace some of the forgotten landmarks of Singapore to reveal architectural symbols that truly represent Singapore. Moving with times, the works of our local architects have also emphasised the importance of functionality, innovation, aesthetic, and the ability to be eco-friendly and energy-efficient. “Singapore Architecture 101” is a chance to marvel at the works of our local architects and our local architecture.
