AHBE named its project submission "bump" as a metaphor for the complex dynamics of Singapore as a City existing within a Garden. Our concept was derived by the intersection (or bumping) of the city grid, which represents man’s influence, and the city’s prevailing wind patterns, which represent nature’s force. The convergence of city and nature resulted in a series of topographical “bumps and bowls” which defined the site’s physical form. The bumps and bowls refer to the existing cut-and-fill process already used to create a significant part of Singapore’s landscape. This narrative of reclamation is also particularly relevant for the Gardens by the Bay, which is located on reclaimed land. In addition to the landscape design, AHBE also proposed an architectural form, called the “Manifold.” The Manifold is an intelligent, dynamic, breathing, ecologically sustainable architecture that is integrated into the landscape to provide unexpected perspectives for visitors.
