ABOUT

Community by Design is a vibrant series of events celebrating the power of community design, curated by the newly formed collective communityze. Anchored by a ‘pot-luck furniture’ exhibition titled Community by Design, co-created by our members and a participant-driven Design by Impact Unconference, the event is a showcase of creativity.

The programme invites all to take part – through
 free workshops, tours of community-curated spaces, or casual conversations at the Community by Design Kopitiam (Lawn @ Kallang Wave Mall). Participants can also co-create future projects through the UnConference at National Design Centre Auditorium, in collaboration with NAFA-UAS.

Together, community design is celebrated as a tool for social impact, with 
communityze inviting everyone to shape a “we-first society” from the ground up.
