Speculative Terrains: Responsive Ecologies
The theme of this years exhibition focuses on how we live when the ground itself is shifting, eroded by water, mined for resources, and mapped by data? Speculative Terrains begins from this instability, asking what forms of architecture might arise when permanence gives way to adaptation and care. The works gathered here trace fragile ecologies already in motion: small rehearsals for coexistence between material, climate, and technology
AkiVAL 2026, is the annual exhibition of NUS Architecture. As part of this year’s exhibition, we will be running a School Outreach Programme that invites Secondary Schools, Junior Colleges and Polytechnics to visit NUS and experience the exhibition in a guided and structured way. The exhibition showcases works across all years from both the Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, including Architecture, Landscape Architecture, as well as works produced during semester exchange and by overseas universities. Through this outreach visit, students will take part in a guided tour, activities and a workshop that introduce architecture as a discipline and as a potential course of study and career pathway. We would like to invite your students to join us and learn more about what architecture can be.
