CONVERGENCE:
THEMES AND VARIATIONS
Since 2007, Singapore Archifest has brought together architects, students, and the public to explore the ideas shaping how we design, build, and experience cities.
This year's 20th edition positions the festival as a meeting point of scales, voices, and approaches—bridging making and thinking, memory and invention, individual authorship and collective practice, and local and global exchange.
This year’s programme highlights how architectural knowledge develops across studios, offices, classrooms, and public life, exploring craft, collaboration, and insight in creating spaces that respect cultural legacies while addressing today’s urban realities.
Contributions from past festival directors frame Archifest as both an archive of ideas and a laboratory for shaping the future of architectural practice.
Organised by Singapore Institute of Architects
