Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay.
The Istana spans over 40 ha and is located along Orchard Road. It was originally known as the Government House, which was extended and redesigned in the neoclassical style by George Dromgold Coleman (Founder of Singapore’s Public Works / Convicts), before it was demolished in 1859 to make way for a new Government House.
Changi Airport (Terminal 1 - 1981, Terminal 2 1990, Terminal 3 - 2008) The opening of Changi Airport Terminals 1, 2 and 3 marked the development of Singapore’s avia on sector. Besides an airfield and the iconic air traffic control tower, Terminal 1 consists of a 5-level Passenger Terminal Building with two levels of basement for ameni es. Designed to be symmetrical in form, Terminal 2 was divided into dis nct ar culated zones, each with its own purpose and personality, characterised by openness and architectural clarity. The terraced ceiling at the departure hall is modelled to allow natural light, while the external façade uses clean-cut can lever elements, with ver cal stairs along the sides and strong spiral ramps. Terminal 3 contains an expansive rec linear roof, derived from the layering of ceiling panels, baffles, skylights and high-tech ‘bu erflies’, crea ng a random aperture pa ern build-up that evokes a rainforest canopy.
