DesignS Concept




From diversity
to differentiation
Rationale
There are numerous design hubs, but most are culturally-inspired. But
our origins as immigrants, shaped by colonialism, and then forged by
national necessity, made us balanced and inclusive. Our only salvation
was to be relevant to the modern world and this actually made us the
world’s only global city-state. This is now the antidote to providing
design solutions relevant to the modern world.

    DesignS DesignS Concept From diversity todifferentiation Rationale There are numerous design hubs, but most are culturally-inspired. But our origins as immigrants, shaped by colonialism, and then forged by national necessity, made us balanced and inclusive. Our only salvation was to be relevant to the modern world and this actually made us the world’s only global city-state. This is now the antidote to providing design solutions relevant to the modern world.
