Annabelle Tan is an architect, urban designer, artist and illustrator who is currently practising in Singapore. Her art and design practice explores city-making and its relation to socio-political systems, ranging from dominant regimes to everyday practices. She grounds her design methodology in both technical investigations as well as ethnographic research and architectural writing.

Her work, spanning speculative drawings and sculptural models, colourfully narrate experimental ways of living that critique our relationship with nature and one another, merging both past cultures, present urban conditions and future technological systems.
