The annual architecture festival will run from May 15 to 19, with a number of fringe events.

The theme of Singapore Archifest 2024 explores what people want from their cities, and continues from Singapore's Venice Biennale project.

Over a six-month period, visitors responded to a questionnaire at the Values Measurement Machine, a series of analogue plotting devices placed at the centre of the pavilion in Venice. For these respondents, respect for a city’s historical identity; connecting with nature; and breaking down boundaries between public, communal and private spaces were crucial for building lovable cities.

The theme of Singapore Archifest 2024 continues the biennale project by inverting its title to The Performance Of Measurement – When Is Enough, Enough? Mr Adrian Lai, one of the three co-curators of the Singapore Pavilion and the founder of Meta Architecture, says: “The results from the interactive public engagement could encourage new frameworks for more collaborative planning processes or provide alternative measurements of success in the evaluation of buildings.”

The data collected from the biennale also shows that two out of three visitors prefer homes that are more connected to nature, with blurred boundaries between public, communal and private spaces. This allows for shared amenities and opportunities for serendipitous encounters with neighbours.
