Singapore and the SIA, a powerhouse of design
Published
Shortlisted in the 2026 INDE.Awards are a plethora of projects from Singapore and the Singapore Institute of Architects’ members. We celebrate the talent that resides in this country, as we showcase design that crosses borders and resonates in our Indo-Pacific region.
This year has seen the largest ever cohort of entries to the INDE.Awards from Singapore. As a leader in our Indo-Pacific region, Singaporean architects are certainly staking their claim as dynamic and innovative practitioners as the shortlist attests.
As Strategic Partners to the INDEs program this year, the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA), should be justly proud of an astounding 13 shortlisted entries and a Luminary from its members across six categories.
The Singapore showcase is represented across The Building, The Health and Wellbeing Space, The Multi-Residential Building, The Influencer, The Living Space, The Social Space, The Work Space and The Luminary.
As one of the smallest countries in our region, Singapore is proving that is not constrained by size when it comes to design. There is abundant talent in the architecture community that is changing the built landscape of not only Singapore, but other countries in the region as well.
The 2026 INDE.Awards is the perfect springboard to celebrate the accomplishments of Singapore’s creative talent with a long list of outstanding projects receiving shortlist recognition this year.
