CITIES FOR PEOPLE NTU CCA Ideas Fest 2016/7]]> Knowledge Production]]> Public Sphere]]> Urbanism]]> Ecology]]> Spaces of the Curatorial]]> Architecture]]> Environmental Crisis]]> CITIES FOR PEOPLE is the pilot edition of the annual NTU CCA Ideas Fest, a platform to catalyse critical exchange of ideas and encourage thinking “out of the box”. It is a bottom-up approach linking the artistic and academic community with grassroots initiatives. This pilot edition expands artistic interventions and engages contemporary issues such as air, water, food, environment, and social interaction in connection to artistic and cultural fields, academic research, and design applications.

The 10-day programme, coinciding with Singapore Art Week 2017 and Art After Dark at Gillman Barracks, comprises a conglomerate of performances, public installations, participatory projects and social experiment, urban farming initiatives, public dialogues, and a variety of workshops. It cumulates in a three-day summit that brings together a prominent group of architects, theorists, researchers, curators, and community groups to discuss and exchange ideas about urbanism, modes of exchange, critical spatial practice, and to envision a future city. CITIES FOR PEOPLE offers a platform to contemplate the possibilities for our shared space, reformulate our demands accordingly, and project solutions and desires for the future.

CITIES FOR PEOPLE, borrowing the title from a book by eminent Singapore architect William S. W. Lim published in 1990, expands on some of the ideas Lim developed, particularly in relation to tropical environments and recycling, as well as his call for a humanistic architecture. Organised on the occasion of the exhibition Incomplete Urbanism: Attempts at Critical Spatial Practice, this event is an invitation to share and engage in cooperative projects and collective experiences that critically reflect on current challenges in urban and social development.]]>

Phyoe Kyi: The Museum Project]]> Architecture]]> The Museum Project stands out as one of the artist’s most ambitious, albeit unfinished, undertakings at the time of his sudden death in 2018. Bringing together its three main stages, the presentation in The Lab reflects the development of the architectural design and features several mediums the artist experimented with: an interactive installation (2013), architectural renderings and sketches of artworks and installations (2014 – 15), and a model based on the last architectural project (2018). The presentation also includes a timeline designed by Tun Win Aung and Wah Nu to illustrate the collaboration which originally sparked The Museum Project.]]> Phyoe Kyi]]> Anna Lovecchio]]> Tun Win Aung]]> Wah Nu]]> Video]]> Multimedia Installation]]> Print]]> Southeast Asia]]> Architecture]]> Didier Faustino]]> Europe]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Leon van Schaik]]> Oceania]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Larry Ng]]> Southeast Asia]]> Asia]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Tan Dan Feng ]]> Southeast Asia]]> Asia]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Wee H Koon]]> Wee Hiang Koon]]> Koon Wee]]> H Koon Wee]]> Southeast Asia]]> Asia]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Eunice Seng]]> Southeast Asia]]> Asia]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Jeremy Chia]]> Southeast Asia]]> Asia]]> Urbanism]]> Architecture]]> Sharon Siddique]]> Southeast Asia]]>
