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.

Interior designers and architects came together earlier this month for a lunch hosted by Geberit, where the spotlight was on the brand’s latest innovations and its vision for the future of bathroom design.

The highlights of that afternoon included the introduction of features such as the TurboFlush technology, engineered for powerful yet water-efficient flush performance, and a refreshed palette of actuator plates, Sigma40, with various colours designed to complement a wider range of interiors.

Beyond product showcases, the session offered a platform for meaningful exchanges within the design community, demonstrating how functionality and aesthetics continue to shape the evolution of everyday spaces.
