DP Architects receives two SIA Accolades at SIA Awards Dinner 2017

It was an evening of double honours for DP Architects at the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Awards Presentation Dinner held on 5th October 2017.

DPA’s Rhizome House, an installation and spatial prototype, was awarded the Design Award under the ‘Special Category – Overseas’. Initially created in response to the overarching theme of biomimicry for the Amsterdam Light Festival 2016-2017, the interactive light installation was praised by the jury for demonstrating a creative spirit and risk-taking boldness. Rhizome House was further complimented for its ability to engage the public, its experimental and explorative process and how it presents new possibilities of design and build of the future.

The new Mediacorp Campus received the Honorable Mention under the ‘Special Category — Others’. The collaborative project was designed by Maki and Associates of Japan with DP Architects as its Project Architect. Located strategically at the center of Mediapolis — the nation’s first media ecosystem, the new Mediacorp Campus stands prominently with its sharp planes and angular profiles, creating a kinetic and highly sculptural silhouette. The design was commended on for navigating public and private spaces well, sitting harmoniously within the site with clear and delightful spaces created through the inter-weaving of controlled work area and public spaces.
