4 Nations Live Design Discourse (LDD)

It’s a wrap for the 8th edition of the 4 Nations Live Design Discourse (LDD)! Last night’s final presentations were illuminating and inspirating for the different takes on Loveable Buildings and Spaces at the Golden Mile Complex.

On a broader perspective, the conversations that ensued provided much food for thought and points to worthy questions that architects and planners should continue asking through our work. How do we conserve a Brutalist Beauty against seemingly differing contemporary values? How do we ensure a sense of connection and attachment - felt by existing communities built up over time, in place - are not side-lined by qualities like attraction and novelty?

A special shoutout to all the participants whose hard work inspired such meaningful discourse!
The LDD is organised by SIA and our like-minded association partners Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia, Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia, and The Association of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage.
