Deciding The Future of Malls in Singapore

Why do some malls seem to stay stuck in time? Should they be rejuvenated to ‘stay relevant’? Learn more about the decisions to rejuvenate a mall using a deck of cards – a toolkit designed to simply the decision-making process. In this interactive workshop, take on different roles as various stakeholders who get to decide the mall’s fate.

Participants should have visited strata malls (e.g. Queensway Shopping Centre, Far East Plaza, Golden Mile Complex) and HDB neighbourhood malls.

To learn more about the projects, visit the Good Design Research pop-up exhibition – A Day in the Life at Bugis+.
