Really Ar? Again?- Call for Speakers!!
Theme: Masterplanning
date to be determined
Hot on the heels (well, if you’re looking at time in the more drawn-out scale of things) of the first Really Ar?, a pecha-kucha inspired showcase of thematically-relevant projects, comes the second session.
Held in an informal setting, in which we invite a few people with interesting ideas to present to an audience of young architects, the objective of the Really Ar? sessions is to promote exchange of good ideas.
This will be our second such event. (The first Really Ar was held at the end of January this year, and attracted about 40-50 people.)
Our format is to have three speakers present for 15 minutes each, after which there will a Q&A session. Each presentation is hoped to be presented in a succinct manner - a single project, or a single idea, with an emphasis on the thought processes behind the product.
Theme and Call for Speakers
We are looking for speakers to present interesting designs, built and unbuilt. We are looking for ideas that are intelligent, fresh and distinctive. The projects need not be large in scale, but hopefully groundbreaking and radical in some way.
The theme for Really Ar? Again? is ‘Masterplanning’. We chose this theme as many Singaporean and Singapore-based firms have been invited to do grand masterplans for other countries, but ironically, aren’t given the same autonomy to plan their own home country. As such, few people really see the fruit of their labour.
If you would like to share your firm’s work, or your personal ideas, work and research, or simply nominate someone, do contact us. Suggestions on other topics are much welcome for future Really Ar? sessions.
One more thing - fancy poster coming soon.

hi
i am an urban designer with the HOK Planning Group in Singapore. I have some projects, ideas or discussion topics that I could share. For masterplanning, I could share one of our recent unique project adventure where we did a scheme to educate city leadership regarding reahbiliation work. This is a work in progress and will definitely last a long time.
lets talk sometime.
regards,
