Conversations @ SUPERGARDEN
Forum organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects
at the Singapore Pavilion

This forum aims to bring together the unsung and emergent young creative minds to the SUPERGARDEN and share with the rest of the world their creations, ideas and designs. As Singapore aspires to be a design hub, the notion of a SUPERGARDEN is to be a "garden" for all ideas to incubate and grow.

Unlike other talks and forums, Conversations @ SUPERGARDEN is open for all young designers of all walks and disciplines to share their creations and ideas. The 22 creations by Singaporean architects, designers and artists serve as a starting point for new ideas and creations to be added through the forum.

The format of the forum will take an open format signifying the open atmosphere Singapore seeks to be. Other than the pre-appointed speakers from Singapore, young designers from all over the world are welcome to bring their presentations or creations to the forum and share with the audience. Each speaker will be required to submit on line their synopsis and register. 5 minutes will be given to each speaker to share from his or her experience in relation to the theme of "Out there, Architecture beyond building". No polished presentations needed, just a desire to be creative, to share and to connect.

This forum is for the young and emergent, there will be no superstars, there will be no incumbents. It is the common creative people's platform. It is the garden where ideas, passion and inspiration germinate.
