SGA x SIA Architectural Glass Forum at Archifest 2025

19/06/2025Events

27 June 2025, 11am to 1pm | Archifest Conference

Jointly organised by the Singapore Glass Association (SGA) and the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA), this year’s Architectural Glass Forum presents two panel discussions that explore glass as both an artistic legacy and a performance-driven building material.

In “Crafting Continuity: Bridging Glass Legacies with Contemporary Design,” artists and designers share how traditional techniques such as stained glass are being revived and reimagined through modern innovations like ceramic digital printing. Featuring case studies of sacred restoration and contemporary interpretation, this session highlights how art, craft, and technology converge to shape meaningful architectural experiences.

In “Getting Glass Right: Best Practices for Specification in Architecture,” leading experts demystify the selection and application of architectural glass across typologies. From performance characteristics to installation realities, this panel offers practical insights on achieving optimal results through better specification, collaboration, and understanding.

Together, the sessions underscore how cross-disciplinary dialogue can elevate both the creative and technical outcomes of glass in the built environment — preserving its legacy while advancing its future.
