(Refreshments will be served 30 minutes before the start of the event)This event is supported by the Swiss Embassy of Singapore. Organized in cooperation with S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, Basel.This event will discuss the 2022 exhibition and accompanying publication by the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel titled "Make Do With Now: New Directions in Japanese Architecture" highlighting alternative trends in Japanese Architecture and new architectural models of social and ecological commitment. Organized by S AM curator Yuma Shinohara, Make Do With Now presents a new view of Japanese architecture and introduces a young, as yet little known generation of architects and designers. These are demanding a sincere engagement with social, economic and ecological problems under the influence of, among other things, the experience of the Tohoku earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. Their creative handling of limited resources, found materials and existing building stock helps them in their search for responses to the urgent issues confronting us today.This event features a screening of a documentary film commissioned for the exhibition. Directed by Anne and Sebastian Gross, the documentary profiles five young architecture practices – CHAr, Mio Tsuneyama/Fuminori Nousaku, dot architects, 403architecture [dajiba], and tomito architecture – who are each developing unique approaches to the question of the architect's role in society. The screening will be followed by a discussion featuring exhibition curator Yuma Shinohara and Mio Tsuneyama, one of the protagonists of the film."Make Do With Now" was originally held at S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, Basel from 11 November 2022 to 12 March 2023. Five films featuring emerging Japanese practices will be featured in the Singapore Archifest 2023 main exhibition taking place at the Festival House (45, 47 Sultan Gate).Event Discussants Yuma Shinohara (Curator, S AM Swiss Architecture Museum)Yuma Shinohara (*1991) works as a curator and editor in the fields of architecture and urbanism.

After graduating from the University of New South Wales in Australia, he moved to Singapore to work with Tangguanbee Architects. He established Linghao Architects in 2000. It will soon be three decades of living in and working from Singapore as a base. The practice is an ongoing encounter with this world, bringing in bigger trajectories to be part of each project where actions or decisions are quickly layered over, transformed. One such arc is the relation between the exterior and the interior. It has become commonplace to experience them as separate and divided, led by desired habits and mechanical and electrical systems. In the everyday life of a city dweller, this has become a smooth confrontation that occurs intimately as part of the daily rhythms. How is it to imagine scenarios where it is more directly related? From where can this begin? What are the possible effects?Fabian OngFabian Ong is an architecture-trained photographer from Singapore. Upon obtaining his Master’s degree from the National University of Singapore, he practiced design at several notable architectural firms and conducted research projects and workshops in the Singapore University of Technology and Design. In 2016, he was invited by the Japanese periodical A+U and Shinkenchiku to be their in-house photojournalist based in Tokyo, Japan, while covering projects in Europe, North America, and Asia. Fabian is concurrently developing his art photography practice with a focus on natural and constructed landscapes.In his Archifest exhibition “Building Building” he asked “when does architecture emerge?”, “when is architecture, if ever, completed?” It invites the viewer to perceive architecture not as a predetermined outcome but an evolving phenomenon by exposing moments from their construction process before they reach their state of “completion”.Disclaimer for Archifest events:Indemnity: By buying and participating in the Archifest event, you are deemed to have fully accepted all SIA/Archifest's terms and conditions.
