Kengo Kuma team wins Founders' Memorial competition in Singapore

Singapore's architectural design competition for the Founders' Memorial has picked the winning team: the submission by Japanese Kengo Kuma & Associates in collaboration with Singaporean firm K2LD Architects emerged victoriously from a field of five shortlisted proposals by unanimous jury choice as well as positive public feedback. 

The memorial, envisioned as an integrated gallery and garden landscape at the Bay East Garden, is intended to commemorate Singapore's path to independence and its early nation-building accomplishments. An international design competition was launched in January 2019 and attracted 193 entries overall.
