Archifest 2025 breathes new life into the Katong-Joo Chiat area with large-scale outdoor installations inspired by local culture and heritage. Students from SUTD, in collaboration with architectural firms RSP and SAA, have designed colourful public seating based on Peranakan kueh and recreated the historic Marine Parade coastline and pier, reviving community memories and activating overlooked spaces such as the quiet shopping walkway at Roxy Square.
