Having reinvented the tradeshow format, we take a look back at the very first FRONT event and what made it so unique.

HASSELL creates a duo of spaces that celebrate the art of enjoying afternoon tea with a unique take on the tropical colonial aesthetic at the Regent Singapore.

After a year in incubation, day one of FRONT set a high benchmark for collaboration and innovation in the architecture and design space. Across a series of seminars, product exhibitions and networking, FRONT delivered on its promise: the best in product, the latest in knowledge, the most successful in forging connections.

UNStudio is a global practice with a strong foothold in Asia. Caroline Bos, founding partner of the studio, was recently in Melbourne to present a proposal for Southbank by Beulah and opened up about changing technology and the changing gender gap in architecture and design.

“Collaboration might be the most overused word of our time but maybe it’s just a grown-up way of saying let’s play together,” quipped Sarah-Jane Pyke at the most recent Perspectives speaker event.
