Kuala Lumpur has many striking buildings, but how often do we get to step inside them, guided by the architects who designed them?
Returning for its fifth edition, SinggahKL 2026 gives the public a rare chance to explore up to 20 architect-designed buildings across Kuala Lumpur (KL), most of which are usually closed to visitors. Taking place on 7 and 8 February 2026, this free guided architectural tour invites participants to see the city through a thoughtful design lens.
The Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) officially launched SinggahKL 2026, the fifth edition of its signature guided architectural tour. Scheduled for Feb 7 and 8, the tour will focus on the theme “Future Culture” and is open to the public.
“SinggahKL celebrates Malaysian architectural heritage alongside contemporary design. We hope to deepen appreciation and inspire a sense of responsibility towards our built environment because when people understand architecture, they care for their cities more deeply,” said PAM president Adrianta Aziz.
Most people experience Kuala Lumpur as a blur of motion. In the rush of daily life, it is easy to overlook the beauty woven through the streets in the form of buildings.
Returning with its fifth edition in 2026, SinggahKL – the Malaysian Institute of Architects’ (PAM) signature guided tour – will continue to bridge this gap, peeling back the rich layers of KL and offering a chance for the public to learn more about the city’s architecture.
