Spatial Types in Local Contexts

WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?The Performance of MeasurementIn building the city we love, how do we measure the unmeasurable?The Singapore Pavilion foregrounds architects and researchers whose practices aim to elicit agency, attachment, attraction, connection, freedom and inclusion, in the city. In examining design processes that work for these six goals, we uncover challenges and contradictions, bring to light methods of addressing diverse preferences and the conundrums that arise, reveal tensions between extreme positions as well as envisage potential spectrums in between. What measures do we have to take to live by our values? How do we calibrate for different entities, environments, and dreams?When is enough, enough?===Co-commissioned by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore and DesignSingapore Council, this exhibition is organized by the Singapore Institute of Architects
