Designing Together: Building Inclusive Spaces for People and Planet

ABOUT

Design lovers, changemakers, students, and seniors are invited to take part in a unique series of hands-on design hackathons during Singapore Design Week.

Hosted by Ocean Purpose Project and eco-luxury designer Aiden T, these sessions aim to shape Singapore’s first inclusive, climate-resilient Purpose Pavilion – an off-grid coastal space designed to welcome people of all ages and abilities.

Bring your creativity, lived experiences and community spirit to co-design a sustainable space that prioritises accessibility, especially for the elderly and mobility-challenged. Each session is a blank canvas to develop meaningful, real-world solutions addressing challenges in access, comfort, heritage, and climate adaptation.

Why participate?

– Contribute to an actual community project with long-term impact

– Learn inclusive, sustainable design thinking from award-winning facilitators

– Receive a participation certificate and priority access to visit the Pavilion prototype
