City Campus Design Competition Results

After months of intense competition, award-winning architectural team, KNTA Architects (Singapore)/Edward Cullinan Architects (UK), has been selected as the overall winner of the Singapore Management University Urban & Architectural Design Competition.

KNTA Architects/Edward Cullinan Architects will be appointed the Master Architect for the SMU city campus at Bras Basah, which includes designing and implementing the academic buildings and public open spaces of the campus for Phase One. Selection of architects for subsequent phases of the campus will be determined after Phase One is completed.

The design of the administrative building was won by Design-Environment Group (Singapore)/Cox Architects & Planners (Australia).

The winning teams were selected from the original 172 Stage One submissions and six short-listed Stage Two submissions.

In managing the City Campus project, SMU will continue to take into account the views and feedback from the public, authorities and stakeholders. The building heights will be kept to the scale and height of the city campus' surroundings and a new Bras Basah Park will be designed to be the focus of both the cultural district and the new university. Due to the historical significance of the site, SMU has and will continue to maintain transparency in the development process and ensure that the final design is of an exceptionally high standard.
