“The theme for the President’s Design Award 2011 book and exhibition is ‘Multipli-City’.
It not only celebrates the multitude and diversity of talents, ideas, and designs that this award has recognised through its six-year history, but also the ‘multiplier effect’ the award recipients have and will continue to generate with their designs. These range from a palm-sized, high performance and environmentally-friendly motor, a delectable magazine targeted at global citizens, a public hospital that draws from its surroundings and community to serve the needs of its patients, to an exhibition that showcased how Singapore’s compact urban design can encourage more sustainable cities for the world.”
