The Housing and Development Board (HDB) is embarking on a community art project to bring together the hopes and aspirations of residents and students, on the future of HDB living.
Your inputs, through this art project, will inspire the planning and design of future HDB towns, neighbourhoods, and flats.
A survey was conducted in September 2020 to find out the aspects of HDB living that residents find most important, and the colours and graphics that the majority would associate the future of HDB living with. The outcomes have inspired Artist Sun Yu-li in the design of the master graphic for the project.
Take this chance to paint your vision of the future of HDB living. Choose a theme that is close to your heart, and start painting right away with Sun Yu-li’s one-of-its-kind iconographies!
Your contribution will be woven together with 3,000 other contributions; to be printed on a large canvas and exhibited at the HDB Community Week 2021.

Smart and sustainable living involve multiple interaction in our ecosystem. We need to live well and connected with our environment - the air surrounding us with low carbon emission - and the animals, insects in our greenery together with the aquatic species in our waters. Only then can we have perpetuity and continuity for generations to come. COVID19 pandemic is a good example that has disrupted this continuity. Hence the importance of joining the dots in my painting above .

Inspiration:
A home in HDB is a fun place for all to enjoy. Singaporeans are really privileged to have such a great housing project by the government. A HDB home is not just a shelter. It is a place where amenities are plentiful and the neighbours are friendly and helpful. We are really lucky .

Inspiration:
I draw inspiration from how we can tap on nature (plants and sun) for ideas on creating a sustainable lifestyle and neighbourhood. Therefore, I drew light bulb with a string mimicking a helium balloon to represent ideas that we have (about sustainable smart living) being a part of our lives, interconnected and weaved into different aspects .
Artist Sun Yu-li is one of Singapore's leading architect turned artist, most notably in sculpture, but has since extended his artistic pursuit to doing experiential art in the last 16 years. His sculptures and paintings can be seen in different parts of Singapore, and overseas. Sun has a very distinctive style in his artwork formed over the past 30 years and has developed his own unique ‘universal language’ (‘dot-line-plane’) that made it easy for public’s involvement in the co-creation process. ArtBeatz and Sun Yu-li have worked together for years creating visually impactful works that engage communities in meaningful art creation.
