Starting in November 2020, we will take a Virtual World Tour and “visit” selected countries around the world to meet some of their most relevant architects. Now that we can not meet you and our speakers at a fully booked auditorium, we will bring the speakers directly to your homes and offices!
On Wednesday, November 25th, 2020 live from 19:00 to 20:30 SGT, Singapore time (12:00 – 13:30 CET, Berlin time), the two Singapore-based architects will talk on our virtual stage about their personal experiences and important creative periods in their lives and, as always at “AnA“, not a word may be lost about their projects.
