GIVE it up for woman power. More than a decade after the President's Design Award (P*DA) had been established, a woman architect has finally been named Designer of the Year. Angelene Chan, chief executive officer of DP Architects, received the honour from President Halimah Yacob on July 17 at a ceremony at the Istana.
The P*DA is the nation's highest accolade for design. As part of a revamp after a decade, the P*DA now places greater emphasis on outcome-based design impact in addition to the longstanding criteria of excellence in design craftsmanship.
