A long-horizon residency
Helen Marriage · United Kingdom
Anchor resident, 2026 Singapore chapter
Surfing the edge of chaos.
Flow, uncertainty and emergence are the design, not the risk.
The Art of Citymaking is a ten-year residency held on real ground. A small, growing cohort of Creators, spanning generations and continents, carries one standing brief from chapter to chapter: a city-state rewriting its own playbook, a habitat rising from barren land, towns being reanimated.

The circuit
One brief, carried from chapter to chapter.
In tension to intention is the standing brief. Singapore read it first in 2026. It continues to Jaipur in 2027, and returns to Singapore in 2028 with what the travelling year found.
2027
Emerging
Jaipur turns three hundred
The same brief travels to Jaipur in the year the city turns three hundred.
2027 →The idea
In tension to intention, every place is held between what it already is and what it imagines for itself.
The idea
Why a book about the creative city merits a ten-year residency, and what the standing brief asks of every chapter.
Read the idea →The people
People who hold lived places and people who carry theories of the future city, in the same room so the two can read each other in real time.
