Josephians Present Innovative Design Ideas at Archifuture Design Challenge 2023

1 May 2023

Two Josephian teams won awards at SUTD's Archifuture Design Challenge. Read about the prototypes they designed.

Two out of our three teams of Year 4 students won awards at the Archifuture Design Challenge 2023 (Secondary/JC Category) organised by the Architecture and Sustainable Design Pillar, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). As part of the challenge, the students attended a three-day immersive workshop to foster their abilities to innovate and design based on this new city narrative. Throughout the workshops, they had to complete several mini challenges followed by the main challenge submission. Congratulations to our Josephians from:

Team Bobs the Builders – Luke Chan Onn-Jit (MN401), Balakrishnan Akshath (LE401) and Venkatesh Pranauv (MN401) won the 2nd Prize in the Challenge.
