The Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Architectural Design Awards is the most prestigious local accolade that aims to promote and encourage distinction in architectural design. It recognises SIA members’ achievements in their pursuit of building excellence and innovation.
Into its 21st cycle, the 2022 Awards saw two projects conferred Design of the Year accolade, its highest honour. A total of seven Design Awards and nine Merit Awards were presented to 16 projects out of a shortlist of 23 that span categories including residential projects, institutional projects, special categories and interior architecture.
Comprising works by established and emerging practices, Melvin Tan, president of SIA and Awards jury chair, regards this year’s crop of projects as extremely high standards. “This is especially so with regards to landed singlefamily dwelling units, where architects are given free rein to express their designs in highgrade materials. The awardwinning entries were chosen for their ability to push the boundaries beyond the tried and tested typologies,” he comments.
Other jury members include local and international industry professionals such as Tai Lee Siang, head of Pillar, Architecture and Sustainable Design at SUTD; Mok Wei Wei, managing partner of W Architects; Anupama Kundoo, head of Anupama Kundoo Architects; and Kerstin Thompson, principal of Kerstin Thompson Architects.
