Architects are going beyond aesthetics and designing buildings that ultimately benefit the community. SingaporeBusinessReview

If there is anything that changed in the past year in the field of architecture, it is that the industry has become integrated—from how architects are designing structures down to the way firms are transforming themselves.

"An office may no longer be solely full of architects of design and project architects but consist of individuals that carry a diverse background and skill set to package the proposal needed," he added. According to Koh, buildings will no longer be seen as"standalone structures but as part of the overall built environment intertwined with other infrastructure, transport, and community concerns."

"The building and construction industry is expected to make an even more concerted push toward sustainable developments to meet the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and long-term net-zero aspirations, with further adoption of new technologies and approaches to building design for more energy-efficient buildings," said Yong Fen Bok, vice president for architecture, education division, at CPG Consultants.

In 2023, SAA Architects’ Cheong said sustainability and regenerative architecture will remain on top of trends in the field. Currently, Ivy Koh said architects are already designing spaces which can accommodate multiple uses. Urban spaces, for example, are being designed to be more controllable, manageable, and modular where possible.

"For example, integrated data housed on shareable networks under building management systems can be securely merged with other data to suit user requirements as they change," Koh said.
