We know COVID-19 is no playing matter, so we’re taking it seriously and staying safe. We hope you are too! But when it comes to work – play might help you up your game. So this month, the National Design Centre explores the power of play in design and how it makes life better and more fun!
Here are 4 events to take part in:

Organiser
National Design Centre
The National Design Centre is the nexus of design, the meeting point for creative minds and businesses and the venue for presenting all things design. Centrally located in Bras Basah.Bugis, Singapore’s arts, heritage and design precinct, it is also home to the DesignSingapore Council, the national agency for design. The repurposed, award-winning conserved building is as much an emblem for outstanding Singaporean design and architecture, as it is a thriving venue for visitors to attend design-focused showcases and programmes. NDC adds to the pulse of the city’s district of arts, culture, design, heritage, learning and entertainment.
