Founded in 1967, DP Architects was one of the seminal firms responsible for the urban landscape of Singapore. Guided by the simple philosophy that architecture of excellence enriches the human experience and spirit, early notable works like the Golden Mile Complex and the People's Park Complex revolutionized retail development and high-rise living. Now a leading architecture firm in Asia, DP Architects continues to make an impact in the evolving cityscapes of Singapore and beyond. Responsible for the largest shopping mall in the world, The Dubai Mall, the world-class concert hall, Esplanade Theatres on the Bay and instrumental in the master planning and transformation of Singapore's famous shopping strip Orchard Road, DP Architects' portfolio is remarkable in its diversity of scale and typology. This monograph chronicles the DP Architects story, placing the firm's groundbreaking works in the context of Singapore's urban history and documenting in detail the significant projects of its 44 years.

Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art. Volume 10: Strategic use of underground space for resilient cities contains the contributions presented in the eponymous Technical Session during the World Tunnel Congress 2019 (Naples, Italy, 3-9 May 2019). The use of underground space is continuing to grow, due to global urbanization, public demand for efficient transportation, and energy saving, production and distribution. The growing need for space at ground level, along with its continuous value increase and the challenges of energy saving and achieving sustainable development objectives, demand greater and better use of the underground space to ensure that it supports sustainable, resilient and more liveable cities. The contributions cover a wide range of topics, from investing in urban underground space, via effective use of underground space for sustainable cities, and the use of new energy carriers to the compound use of underground space for integrated campus-urban development. The book is a valuable reference text for tunnelling specialists, owners, engineers, archaeologists, architects, artists and others involved in underground planning, design and building around the world, and for academics who are interested in underground constructions and geotechnics.
