20 under 45, 4th Edition

The fourth edition of Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) ’20 under 45′ programme recognises 23 Singapore architects who exemplify excellence in contemporary architectural practice. Collectively, they highlight the vital role architects play in shaping Singapore’s built environment and reflect the evolving nature of architectural practice today. Their work demonstrates a strong commitment to design quality – from reconnecting people with nature and sensitively restoring heritage buildings, to creating diverse and memorable living spaces. Beyond their professional practice, these architects also contribute to the industry and community as mentors and advocates, nurturing the next generation of architects and designers.

First launched in 2004, the ’20 under 45′ programme recognises young emerging Singapore-registered architects for their design excellence, ideas and leadership and the positive impact of their works on the built environment and communities. Across its three previous editions in 2004, 2010 and 2017, the programme has spotlighted 60 architects, many of whom have gone on to deliver impactful works locally and internationally, strengthening Singapore’s architectural standing.
