The design of the stage for National Day Parade 2018 drew its inspiration from urban plazas with the intent to bring the stage closer to its spectators.

A set of monumental projection screens when fully opened resulted in a unique visual relationship between spectators seated facing the stage and those at the back of it; What is typically the backstage was also ‘exposed’ and made visible to the spectators across Marina Bay.

 The jury applauded the project for achieving a simple, beautiful and delightful object that seamlessly integrates operational complexities with limited resources. It was unanimously accorded a Design Award.
