This week, we talk to Tang Ling Nah, artist and part-time lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts. The School itself is moving to its brand new location at 1 McNally Street, boasting a bold new look, a fresh attitude, and an electricity of creative energy. What is it like for a school and its inhabitants to move to a new building, after years in its old campus, almost over two decades later since its founding in 1984 by the late Brother Joseph McNally. FFW's Adib J talks to Ling Nah to found out what she thinks about the move, and her random ruminations on the city.

Or if you are referring to FARM.sg then it'll be about the society that nurtures local artists and designers. With their recently concluded STAMP campaign, and their fast growing spatial design arm, FARMworks, Torrance of Farm.sg is getting really busy lately. Five Foot Way Magazine's Adib J takes a little out of his time for a chat about Farm and the built environment.

Undoubtedly, the students of today will be the leaders of tomorrow and the NUS Dept. of Architecture City exhibition should not be taken lightly for it gives us a sneak peek into the minds of the next generation of architects who will be shaping our country. An exhibition is clearly an edited showcase with a message, so what is this message? FFW finds out more about this year's exhbition, the thinking behind it and what it might mean for our future.
