Archifest is the Singapore Architectural Festival that began back in 2007. It is "an annual festival for the city to celebrate architecture and the built environment."

The festival is organized by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) which is a platform "for people from all walks of life to discuss, debate and dream about possibilities surrounding architecture, our city and the built environment at large."

For Archifest 2019, the theme is Craft. An event website poses the following question: "If the broadest definition of craft is about precision that demands laborious attention and skilled handwork, where would we locate it within the realm of architectural production or construction in an age where expediency and efficiency are privileged?" 

It's a highly relevant query in today's digital landscape. Throughout the festival the aim will be to explore the idea of craft and "its multi-faceted manifestations through three different allegories, Objects, Time, and Digital, each distinctive in its influence on the evolution of Craft."

The festival runs through October 9, 2019.
