ABOUT

Care doesn’t happen in isolation; it lives among us – how we create, connect and co-exist with one another and the environment. Design for Care at Marina Central is rooted in this conviction, inviting people not just to occupy space, but to share it with intention.

Curated by Randy Chan of Zarch Collaboratives, ten showcases in the district explore Care as a spatial, social, and environmental design practice. From the materials selected to designs that encourage interaction and rest, every element is considered with people and the planet in mind. Thoughtful programming of talks, wellness workshops, and a weekend plant market will bring communities together. There will also be a delightful two-day music festival, DISTRICT M, presenting 16 international and local music acts and other engaging fringe activities.

Marina Central district becomes more than a physical bayfront location in downtown Singapore — it becomes a living expression of togetherness, empathy, and a more caring way forward. All are welcome!
