RLA News:
We are pleased to announce the publication of “Be Agile,” Issue 16 of The Singapore Architect Magazine - co-edited by RLA Principal Ronald Lim and close collaborator Razvan Ghilic-Micu of HASSELL.
This ambitious issue interrogates the theme of “Agility” and how architectural practive can adapt to respond intelligently in our age of economic disruption and volatility. The underlying premise is that architecture - as a legacy profession - cannot proceed with a passive, “business-as-usual” attitude.
The special issue features innovative projects that demonstrate frontier-forming approaches to architectural practice and design - including HASSELL’s GSK Asia House (workplace), META Architecture’s Khong Guan Building (conservation), and WoodsBagot’s Funan Mall (retail).
TSA 16 “Be Agile” also gathers in-depth interviews with key figures in Singapore’s architectural community - including the President of Singapore Institute of Architects, lead educators at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), and directors from diverse, innovative firms in Singapore.
RLA is honoured to be able to make this significant a contribution to the profession. This publication represents our ongoing research into innovating our practice model to create intelligent, value-added design services for our clients. RLA will stay committed to this cause of “practice research and innovation” as a recurring focus. Our explicit long-term goal is to offer clients a unique brand and quality of service that the market cannot replicate.
Our friends at Basheer Graphic Books (Singapore’s dedicated architecture bookstore) have told us that this issue is selling out quickly. We have also received encouraging words from our international colleagues - like faculty at Yale School of Architecture to whom we’ve gifted copies.
In Singapore, TSA 16 “Be Agile” is available at Kinokuniya, Books Actually and Basheer Graphics Books. Get your copy today!
