City Exhibition 2008: More Than Icons
City Exhibition is an annual event held by the Department of Architecture of the National University of Singapore to showcase the architectural works of its students.
This year, amidst the world’s mad fervor about creating iconic architecture showpieces , the school takes a step back to examine the notion of good architecture: is the craft of architecture only about building the next tallest building, or the strangest looking one?
The exhibition will be held at Vivocity, South Court, over the weekend of 1 – 3 August 2008, during the opening hours of the mall. Admission is free.
Xu just started walking on the FiveFootWay and she is loving it.
