ABOUT

What if the materials we discard today could shape the design of tomorrow’s Singapore?

On our increasingly land-scarce island, how we use materials matters more than ever. Explore the
Future of Making: Material Matters, an interactive exhibition and guided tour hosted by Arup. Through a curated display of artefacts, immersive audiovisual content, and innovative works by local researchers, explore how speculative design and cutting-edge practices can turn waste – such as everyday materials like glass and timber – into valuable resources, creating spaces that are not only sustainable, but also beautiful and enduring.

About Future of Making

Future of Making is Arup’s global initiative exploring how we design and build in ways that are regenerative, inclusive, and materially intelligent. Through design and storytelling, it provokes new questions about the systems that shape our built environment.
