Abstract
Since the 1990’s, there has been a shift in Singapore’s educational model from an
industrial-based system towards a creative-based learning approach. The shift in the
education curriculum is in response to the changing economic trends, which place an
emphasis on the creative industry. The shift in Singapore education curriculum has led to
the investigation of new educational spatial typologies. In today’s context, it still does not
cater for creative learning and remains as a “compartmentalized model” where students are
bound within the classroom perimeter. Does the current architecture model accommodate
for the shift of curriculum in primary schools? What kind of space can accommodate
creativity learning?
