The 10th Archifest returns this year with a Pavilion designed by DP Architects. Themed “Exhale”, the festival will be held from 23 September to 9 October in the heart of the CBD at Raffles Place Park.
The theme ‘Exhale’ aims to examine the rapid pace of life within our dense city and to challenge people to dictate their own rhythm of life.
Take time to slow down and breathe while you enjoy the installations and events happening at the festival.
This temporary structure is not to be missed, so what are you waiting for? Come on down and explore the eye catching Pavilion at Raffles Place!

#FlipTable
Feeling all stressed up at work? Well, design consultancy Chemistry has the right solution for you.
Set against the backdrop of Raffles Place, the team designed #FlipTable. And it truly allows you to flip a table!
Have a go and finally put your words into action!
In all seriousness, it’s actually an interactive installation that provides an avenue for you to vent your frustration in a creative manner.
Take a deep breath and exhale while you do some damage at #FlipTable. It’s all about harnessing negative energy into a positive form.
