The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) and the Singapore Art Research Association (SGFARA) have forged a groundbreaking partnership to establish the "Design for Green" Experimental Lab Center. This innovative collaboration integrates artistic creativity with sustainable development principles.
This pioneering initiative aims to leverage the power of art and design to promote green lifestyles and embed sustainability into every aspect of Singaporean society. The Lab Center will serve as Southeast Asia's first innovation platform dedicated to sustainable art and design.
