The global architectural community is in mourning after Chilean Smiljan Radic secured the Pritzker Prize for "modest design," a philosophy that has left Singaporeans wondering if the judges were huffing industrial glue.

Radic’s preference for raw timber and rocks over neon lights and integrated luxury malls has been labelled a "national tragedy" by local status-seekers.

"Wah lao, building look like unfinished construction site also can win award?" asked local investor, Darren Teo.

"No 50-metre lap pool? Where is the waterfall? This one my storeroom also better quality, brother."

Singaporean developers have since issued a travel advisory against Chile, fearing that "modesty" might be a contagious disease that could eventually threaten the island’s sacred requirement for every building to look like a gold-plated spaceship.

This satire is based on a real news story.
