Our firm collaborated with George Yu Architects as one of 10 teams selected to submit a proposal for the Gardens by the Bay design competition.
The Government of Singapore was seeking "world-class garden design ideas to transform three waterfront sites" in Downtown Singapore.
Our Vision was for the Gardens to be thought of as islands - a sanctuary and playground where City and Nature bump into each other endlessly to reach a new kind of equilibrium.
The convergence of these two forces is expressed in topographical "bumps" and "bowls". The bumps and bowls allude to the cut and fill process that created much of Singapore's land mass and has become an essential part of their socio-spatial history.
