Mapping Design in Singapore through words: DotGrid Vol. III
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.
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.
