Singapore

Singapore’s premier architecture event is set for a revamp this year, converging the prestige of the Singapore Institute of Architects’ (SIA) marquee awards and conferences, the appeal of trade-related events and the mass-market draw of the popular Architours into one grand celebration of architecture.

Erieta Attali, one of the most commanding architectural photographers working today, began her career working on archaeological sites, including Delos, the mythic birthplace of both Apollo and Artemis. Indeed, no sooner had photography been invented in the Nineteenth century than it became a key tool for archaeologists, recording the layers progressively revealing ancient civilizations from architectural fragments and traces on the ground. But for Attali to make images of an archaeological site goes far beyond literal documentation to capturing a topographical vision, extending often to the horizon, or even on the open sea and the sense it gives us of the curvature of the earth.
