ABOUT

In celebration of SG60, Singapore Product Design launches DotGrid Vol. III – Nation by Design with a special book showcase as part of Singapore Design Week 2025.

This special edition explores how design shapes Singapore’s societal landscape across five pivotal sectors: Transport, Healthcare, Urban Design, Finance, and Digital Reality.

Through compelling narratives and transformative case studies, DotGrid reveals how human-centered design addresses societal challenges—enhancing accessibility, improving public wellbeing, and fostering a more inclusive, liveable Singapore.

To mark the launch, Mapping Singapore’s Design Landscape Through Words: DotGridVol. III brings the publication off the page with a special book showcase. Meet the magazine team and contributors as they share behind-the-scenes stories of the design and writing process. Attendees will receive a complimentary printed copy of the zine.

Members of the public can also collect a free magazine copy at any one of our partner venues at National Library Board L5 Drama Arts Center Library, National Design Centre L2 Library and OpenSourced Cafe from 18 Sep – 18 Oct while stocks last.

Participating contributors include : Samuel Lim, Harrison Chong, Arnav Malhotra, Zhang Yue, Kaiyee Tay, and Naafiah Saalem.
