Design and Architecture

Design and Architecture A Singapore-based title that aspires to be the authority on good design and architecture in Asia and d+a is a Singapore-based title established in 2001.

We began as a bi-monthly print magazine and have since developed a digital presence too. Advocates of good design and architecture in Asia and Southeast Asia, we also champion Asian designers who are either trailblazing or up-and-coming. Our excellent relationship with the design and architecture community means we are one of the first to publish newly-completed projects, and find out how they are

done. These we curate to ensure that they are designed with purpose and intention to have a positive imprint on the built environment. Through in-depth features, we analyse the trends, technologies and ideas sweeping across the industry and their implications on the ecosystem.

This issue of D+A explores projects that reflect a broader shift towards architecture that is porous, climate-aware and attuned to the rhythms of everyday life. In Hong Kong, The Henderson by Zaha Hadid Architects reimagines the skyscraper as something almost organic with its distinctive fluid forms inspired by the Hong Kong orchid tree. In Bangkok, Dib Bangkok by WHY Architecture transforms a former warehouse into Thailand’s first international-standard contemporary art museum, while SANAA’s fluid museum–library hybrid in Taichung challenges conventional typologies. Find out how public platforms are evolving into more deliberate expressions of sustainability and place-making. For instance, in Chengdu, Pujiang Platform by MVRDV reconstructs a flattened hilltop as a domed, green-roofed pavillion. We also feature Singapore’s Geneo Life Sciences Cluster’s The Canopy, whose naturally ventilated spaces balance environmental performance with comfort, as well as provide a gathering space for all walks of life.
