Like it or not, the world is moving ever so quickly in motion that whichever measure regardless, it’s wise to embrace gradual change and explore what the world has to offer. In that sense, architecture is the very soul of change — it’s constantly challenging stereotypes, mindsets and sets of ‘rules and regulations’, giving our curious minds the opportunity to question, inquire and imagine the impossible.

Archilab is our way of exploring change. For those who know us, we’ve dabbled in the realm of interior design and the ins-and-outs of world-class furnishings; possibly everything that would make us redecorate our homes again and again. We have to admit, the wonders of architecture have beckoned us for awhile now and by giving into its allure, the outcome only led to Archilab’s inaugural issue.

From the way we see it, architecture has evolved from simply putting brick and mortar together; it has become part and parcel of our daily lifestyle. Apart from its obvious relations to home and living designs, this masterful and fluid skill has seeped right through gadgets, accessories, buildings, art, photography and countless more overlapping industries.

Needless to say, this selection of curated content is far from perfect — but it’s a start. Having flipped through these pages, we hope you take the bold step forward and embrace change, too, just as we’ve done.
