I was thinking, is singapore becoming an architect's playground? quite a lot of new projects up and coming. First was the singapore eye, which structure is almost complete (or complete?). From my office pantry, i can see the whole circle structure done. Wonder how it will eventually look like? Then it would be the new IR, both and sentosa and marina. the marina structure looks interesting, esp with the roof top garden, and the building with curved surface. meanwhile, IR sentosa does not offer something refreshing. also not to forget to mention, marina barge, a new bridge over the marina are, changi airport T3 and many many more. Certainly a refreshing look to the skyline of SG.



With such great constructions, people of singapore are bound to start talking.


First with the marina IR. some has commented that the plates look like ancestral plates (祖先牌), and some guys have joked that by building 3 buildings facing the IR, they can pray to the ancestors liao. duh.....

I personally like the garden on top design. It would be cool to be swimming or jogging up there.

Another cool design would the the new sports hub at kallang. It features the open roof stucture, and the field which can be tugged out of the stadium and convert it into a water sports venue. Tat wld really be an engineering marvel. How would they stabalise the field when games or ndp is going on, and how they are going to detach the whole thing and drag it out into water. It would be really cool if it really works. anyway, this is just a proposal and not confirmed

I read something online and i immediately laughed out loud. While designers claim it is a horseshoe design, people have trashed it by saying it looks like a toliet seat cover!!!! plus the pool of water in the centre..... I leave it to ur imagination...

Of course, the real architect's playground wld be in dubai. building the world tallest building. plus the new jebel ali international airport and they are also expanding the current one.

really wow!!!!
