Thank you to volunteers and participants who contributed to our Cerita-Cerita Kampong Gelam Pop-Up tonight! If you didn't get to share, or would like to share more, tell us, What is your Favourite Kampong Gelam memory in the comment section below! Have a great weekend everyone!
#PIDatwork Esther (@estherangel), our amicable volunteer – Volunteering with P!D has given me the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life, allowed me to get to know them better and to understand how they interact with their environment. Each volunteering session, regardless whether it is facilitating a community engagement session or collecting stories from residents, never fail to inspire and enrich me. . It’s been a heartening journey thus far. Through the good work of P!D, I was able to truly witness the power of participatory design and co-creation. When we design with people, the outcomes are often richer and more fulfilling than we expect! 😊 . Stay tuned to our weekly dose of #PIDatwork while the team takes over to share about what we do! Volunteered or worked with P!D before and want to share your story? DM us now to be featured! . Interested to volunteer with us like Esther?

What's your Kampong Gelam Story? Stop by our pop-up tomorrow night (19/8) during Aliwal Arts Centre's Night Crawl between 5:30pm-9:30pm to share your own stories! Whether you have memories from sixty years ago, or from six days ago, we’d love to hear them! We will be located on Khandahar Street at the hoarding of the Sultan Gate shophouse. Hope to see you there! . . . Presented by the Malay Heritage Foundation. In Collaboration with Participate in Design and D2 Architects .
#PIDatwork Qian Hui (@qianhui_lim_), our capable ex-intern – As an Architecture student, the approach towards a design is largely about uncovering the characteristics and context of site and subsequently discovering its potentials that could be applied to the design of the building. Interning at P!D expanded my vision with regards to design, for they have proven that the stakeholders although not professionals, are also capable of creating a good design by contributing their valuable insights about the spaces. . My three-month stint with P!D was an exciting and fruitful one. The interactions with stakeholders strengthened my communication skills and also taught me how a design can be both direct and impactful simultaneously. I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with P!D and with the lovely people there! 😊 . Stay tuned to our weekly dose of #PIDatwork while the team takes over to share about what we do! Volunteered or worked with P!D before and want to share your story? DM us now to be featured!
How was your National Day celebration? 😊 . As we celebrate 52 years of Singapore's independence, here's an exclusive $5 off purchase of our P!D publication, 'Designing With People and Not Just for People'. Insert promo code: P!D5 upon checkout now! (promotion ends this Sunday, 13 August!)
This National Day, we take a moment to appreciate and celebrate how much our country has prospered. As we design with people and not just for people, giving a voice to everyday citizens, we hope that our jouney as a community-centric design organisation will continue to grow alongside the country by impacting one neighbourhood at a time. . Happy birthday, Singapore! 🇸🇬
#PIDatwork Sia Wanrong, our passionate intern attached under the GUTS programme – My greatest takeaway during the past two months with P!D: the environment shapes the community; learning how allowing people to participate in the design process delivers empowerment and ownership. Coming from a biology background, never had I imagined how powerful designing with people can be. In my opinion, it is revolutionary and it could probably be a great solution to health issues – something like preventive medicine! . My short stint with P!D also brought me lots of real life lessons. On doing what I believe in – on running a business and on trust. I was given two projects and a few research topics during my internship stint and I must say that my perspectives towards art and design have changed drastically. . To me, P!D nurtures people and I believe I've gotten a lot more confident in myself! 😊 . Stay tuned to our weekly dose of #PIDatwork while the team takes over to share about our work and ourselves. Who do you want us to feature next week?
