Baharuddin Vocational Institute

Singapore's first national design school opened a local pipeline of trained practitioners

“The reason for this Institute is that we have reached that stage of industrialisation requiring greater focus on design… In this way, our Republic will some day be able to depend entirely on our own designers and craftsmen.”
—Member of Parliament Wong Lin Ken at BVI's official opening in 1971
