The Future of Us Pavilion follows the grand tradition of architectural structures that evoke a dialogue with nature by blending an intricate form with a perforated skin fluidly with the adjacent environments. For visitors, it offers a climatically comfortable outdoor environment and a stunning visual experience akin to walking under the foliage of lush tropical trees. Originally built to house The Future of Us, Singapore’s 50th Anniversary capstone event, the Pavilion has since become a permanent landmark that continues to serve as an important public asset and venue for major public events.
The Singapore University of Technology and Design Advanced Architecture Laboratory (AAL), directed by Prof. Dr. Thomas Schroepfer, investigates the increasingly complex relationship between design and technology in architecture. Its projects relate to advances in environmental sustainability, materials, structure and form, performance and energy, digital fabrication and building processes. AAL's work has been published and exhibited at important international venues, including at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the World Architecture Festival, and the World Congress of Architecture.
