The collection showcases our architectural and urban design journey, as well as the innovative works of pioneer and current architects and designers, that are integral to our national heritage and identity.  \nThe collection comprises architectural models, photographs, drawings, artefacts, oral history recordings and more. These records not only tell the stories behind the design of our landmarks and everyday places, they can also inspire present and future generations in shaping Singapore’s built environment. The public can look forward to programmes and outreach activities to learn and discover more about the collection and our Singapore Story.  \nWe invite more architects, planners, urban designers and those from the built  \nenvironment industry to contribute their materials to enhance and enrich the collection.  \n1  \n1. Drawing of the National Museum of Singapore (2002-2006)  \nDonated by William Lim Associates and W Architects Pte Ltd, courtesy of National Library, Singapore.  \nThe drawing was done as part of the refurbishment and addition of a contemporary wing to the National Museum, and the study into how the museum could be better connected to Bras Basah Park and Fort Canning Hill.1  \nBehind every design...  \nis a thought, an idea, a story  \nFrom ideation to implementation, our architects and urban designers create many materials over time – from sketches to architectural drawings, physical models, photographs, and plans.  \nThese valuable materials tell both the personal and collective stories about our architects and urban designers’ insights, inspiration, and journeys. Through their stories, present and future generations can also discover more about the history of the time when their designs were created, the experience of the communities in the buildings and spaces, and the legacies that they leave behind.  \n1.
