A competition to design a memorial to honour the pioneer leaders of Singapore has attracted submissions from a total of 193 architects here and overseas.
DP Architects' chief executive officer Angelene Chan, 54, said participating in the competition was a matter of national pride. The memorial, which will be housed in a garden, will cover the period in Singapore after World War II to its first few decades of independence, focusing on key milestones and stories in the country's growth.
Mr Lee Tzu Yang, who is chairman of the Founders' Memorial committee and jury panel, said that the submissions during the open design competition were strong and creative."Besides Singapore, we had many entries from overseas. For example, from the United States, Hong Kong and even Latvia," said Mr Lee, who is also chairman of the Esplanade.
As the venue has limited capacity, registration for the sessions is required and will be on a first come, first served basis.
