The DesignSingapore Council (Dsg) is the national agency that promotes design. Our work focuses on three areas. www.designsingapore.org

DesignSingapore Council’s (Dsg) vision is for Singapore to be an innovation-driven economy and a loveable city through design by 2025. As the national agency that promotes design, our mission is to develop the design sector, help Singapore use design for innovation and growth, and make life better in this UNESCO Creative City of Design. First, we help organisations and enterprises use design as a strategy for business growth; and for excellent delivery of public services. Second, we nurture industry-ready talents skilled in design and innovation; and engender a design-minded workforce for the future economy. Third, we advance the Singapore brand through raising design appreciation on home-ground; helping local design talents and firms go international, and making emotional connections with people across the world. The Dsg is a subsidiary of the Singapore Economic Development Board. Singapore was designated UNESCO Creative City of Design in December 2015. The designation supports Singapore’s development of a creative culture and eco-system that integrates design and creativity with everyday life. It also expands Singapore’s opportunity to collaborate with cities from the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). The City of Design Office is sited with Dsg which coordinates and implements programmes that respond to UCCN’s mission.

How can we help the people we love, live well, stay independent and feel connected regardless of their age or abilities?

Sometimes, the answer lies in thoughtful design: a book of home hacks for dementia care, a void deck social kitchen that brings neighbours together, a former vocational institute reimagined as an inclusive space for everyone, and even a lion dance redesigned so seniors can perform and bond over it.

Because design isn’t just about the things we see. It is also about how we apply it to care for one another, and grow a more inclusive society where everyone can live with dignity and purpose.

Tap to discover five President*s Design Award recipients making everyday life better for seniors, caregivers and people of all abilities.

Relive the highlights of the official opening of 𝙋*𝘿𝘼20: 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣 at the National Museum of Singapore.

With President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Energy, Trade & Industry Gan Siow Huang 颜晓芳, and Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education and National Development Syed Harun Alhabsyi, joining the occasion, it was a special moment for the design community, marking two decades of ideas that have challenged conventions, turned constraints into possibilities and changed the way we live, learn, work and play.

Having all 130 Designs of the Year and 47 Designers of the Year in one exhibition was a reminder of how far Singapore design has come, and how it continues to move our nation forward.

Catch P*DA20 before it closes on 1 November. Admission is free!

The places we love don’t happen by chance.

From Esplanade’s “durian” roofs to Jewel Changi Airport's spectacular waterfall and Gardens by the Bay’s futuristic Supertrees, some of Singapore’s most recognisable landmarks have become part of our collective identity. But beyond their striking appearances are thoughtful design and solutions responding to our tropical climate, bringing people closer to nature, creating memorable experiences and giving historic places new life.

Each is a recipient of the President*s Design Award, Singapore’s highest design honour. Discover the ideas, people and stories behind these familiar places, and see them in a new light at 𝘗*𝘋𝘈20: 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯.

Singapore’s everyday strengths are where bigger ambitions begin.

Check out “When You’re Ready”, a new international brand campaign from Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry, Singapore, inviting global businesses and talent to build the future with us. Design is part of that story too, turning everyday needs into better outcomes.

Your afternoon in the library. The MRT station you pass through on your commute. The building you call home. The preschool where children learn and play. The sports centre where you work out with friends.

These may seem like ordinary parts of your day, but design shapes more of it than you realise.

Behind every one of these spaces are designers who thought carefully about the needs and experiences of the people and communities who use them, and how to make daily life work better for everyone.

For 20 years, the President*s Design Award has honoured that work. Explore these award-winning projects among the 130 Designs and 47 Designers of the Year at 𝙋*𝘿𝘼20: 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣. Plan your visit to the National Museum of Singapore today.
