/ ABSTRACT

​

Metaphorically, the Diploma in Architecture (DARCH) Graduation and End of Year Show is the physical encapsulation of its Stretto. The exhibition marks the closing of the academic year. It aims to be more than just a showcase of students expressing their individual creativity, skill and graft through their projects, but also a purposeful, intentional curation of the collective and its possible contributions to the local dialogues in architecture, be it in techne, social housing, or the changing socio-economic fabric of Singapore.

/  ABOUT

​

The exhibition design hence seeks to explore the notion of modularity as well as the search for an algorithmic rhythm in its design permutations. The result is an orchestration of a simple series of stackable cuboid frames, diagonally stretched to maximise on space efficiency, and characterised by variations in height with relation to the theme - stretto.
