Curated by Ronald Lim, a founding member of Docomomo Singapore, the beautifully designed and meticulously assembled exhibition features over 500 archival artefacts from the architectural firms William Lim Associates and W Architects. The former was founded by the late pioneer architect William S. W. Lim. When Lim retired in 2003, the firm was renamed W Architects and Mok Wei Wei took the helm. The exhibition is based on the archival materials donated by Mok, who is also Docomomo Singapore’s advisor, to the Singapore Architecture Collection.
