Archifest, organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA), is a festival of ideas for the city. Taking
place at various venues across Singapore, this annual festival celebrates the urban environment and the
communities that make it come alive. It is a platform for local and regional communities of creative
individuals, thinkers and enthusiasts of the built environment to engage each other and the public in
imagining a city of the future. The festival hopes to breed a vibrant design culture, and consequently a
design conscious society, by encouraging and guiding the general public and professionals in various
creative fields to engage in conversations about our city in a fun and free atmosphere.
This year, the Institute takes on the role of the Festival Director and Co-curator, and appointed PLUS
Collaboratives as the Co-curator and Event Producer for Archifest 2014.
Archifest 2014 will be the 8th cycle of the festival and will be held from 26 September to 11 October 2014.
Themed “CROWD”, it will build upon the six pillars of the festival:
Pavilion (Archifest Opening Launch on 26 September evening, MBS Event Plaza),
Conference (29 September, MBS Convention Centre),
Architours (Saturdays and Sundays from 27 September to 11 October),
ArchXpo (29 September to 1 October, MBS Convention Centre)
Urban Lab, and
Fringe events,
and will see greater collaboration with various institutions and communities for an even more exciting
programme lineup.
Theme – CROWD
Crowd will be a festival about people. It is also about process – the process of bringing together great minds
and resources to create better places for everyone. Crowd carries different meanings in different contexts.
Collective Intelligence
How individuals, connected or unconnected, can collaborate and make incremental changes, and how
incremental changes can produce great impacts.
Community Capital
How people, connected by the place they shared, leverage on social capital to build better places for
everybody.
Archifest Pavilion
26 September 2014 (Opening Party, 6.30pm, Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza, by invitation only)
27 September to 11 October 2014, 10am to 6pm, Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza (Open to Public)
The Archifest Pavilion Design Competition is in its third year, which is intended to not only be the key venue

of the festival. Physically embodying the spirit of the festival, the Archifest Pavilion functions as the main
base of operations where the various events start from or run within the space. It is a place where ideas can
be discussed, shared and learnt during the festival.
Opening up as a competition to architects, the Archifest Pavilion is to be an architectural experiment to
explore different ideas to redefine and innovate the spatial experience of a public space within Singapore’s
context.
Specific to this year’s theme of ‘Crowd’, the pavilion centralises around the idea of people and their ability
to empower change within the city. Emphasis of the design would be on the idea of an architectural
experiment of how the pavilion is flexible enough to accommodate people and different activities both
spatially and programmatically.
Archifest Conference
29 September 2014, 9.30am to 5.30pm, Marina Bay Sands, Hall D & E
The festival seeks to open up the discussion to investigate how the notion of Crowd operates and
contributes to architecture and urbanism through two sessions focused on i) Collective Design / Intelligence
and ii) Community Capital
Architours
27 September, 28 September 4 October, 5 October, 11 October
Studying and gaining a sense of understanding of architecture in Singapore are the key goals of Architours.
One of the tour series will be specially curated for the delegates of the World Architecture Festival (WAF)
which will be held during the Archifest period.

ArchXpo 2014
29 September to 1 October 2014, Marina Bay Sands, Hall D & E
Co-organised by SIA and Conference & Exhibition Management Services Pte Ltd (CEMS), ArchXpo 2014, the
International Exhibition for Architecture & the Built Environment is the latest addition to the key pillars of
the Archifest series.
ArchXpo 2014 will be the key showcase of relevant technologies, products and related services in the
architectural and built environment industries. It will also be a key gathering of industry experts and talents
that makes for excellent architectural and built environment design, as well as an invaluable platform for
the exchange of research and innovation in architectural design, practice and education.
It will also be held in conjunction with the International Facility Management Expo 2014 and LED+Light Asia
2014, making it a comprehensive and integrated platform for all building needs under one roof!
Through Archifest 2014, we aspire to bring forth a discourse on how people or crowd affect the way
architecture and cities are designed; and how can we harness its potential to create a sustainable urban
environment.

Great Asian Street Symposium (GASS) Conference 2014
The Great Asian Street Symposium (GASS) was initiated in 2001 at the Department of Architecture, School
of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore (NUS). In response to the long-standing and
dire lack of truly Asian perspectives in the literature and research of Asian cities, GASS aimed to establish an
Asian-rooted centre of excellence to foster, both regionally and internationally, exchange and
communication of ideas and studies within this field. Over the past decade, GASS has successfully shared
and integrated cutting-edge debates and discussions on many problems and challenges that confront Asian
cities and their public spaces, such as traffic congestion, air pollution, social segregation, environmental
degradation, and slum proliferation.
In December 2014, an international gathering of academics, architects, urban planners, researchers, policy
makers, and perhaps politicians will descend in Singapore to participate in an exchange of visions, concepts,
and best practices for our Asian urban places at the Great Asian Streets Symposium (GASS) 2014.
It is a conference that will benefit the architects/professionals in Singapore.
GASS 2014, titled as Asian Urban Places, is the sixth symposium that will be held in Singapore at the
National University of Singapore (NUS) from 11th – 12th December 2014.
Our keynote speakers include:
• Professor Jurgen Rosemann, Department of Architecture, NUS, Singapore
• Professor Zhang Jie, Department of Architecture, Tsinghua University, China
• Professor Jeffrey Hou, College of Built Environment, University of Washington, US
• Professor Zhang Jie, Tsinghua University, China
• Mr Claudio Acioly, UN-HABITAT
• Professor Kyung Rip Park, Kangwon National University, South Korea
