pretty poor show i think,
the way the towers terminate really doesn’t work,
and wavywavywavy building meeting the ground
in the way these do just makes them appear like vases.
pretty sure if zaha’s office designed vases they’d look like this.
as for wavywavy facades… wow big deal, the floor plates
inside don’t change at all, the way people use the building hasn’t
changed at all, in fact what is the difference between this and
a standard condo development?
the name and wavywavy facade

At least Zaha Hadid did won a Pritzker Prize. Calatrava sucks big time.

teabag – i have to correct you, as a foreign architect who has worked in singapore for several years, this is not a case of helping a young country put itself onto the map, and you do a dis-service to the immense design talent already in singapore. this is simply a case of a misguided ignorant developer jumping onto a bandwagon trying to differentiate their product and compete with keppel land who have got libeskind to do some insane towers at keppel bay. trust me singapore already has enough talent on the island to produce something far superior to this, but as usual are never given the chance to flex their design muscle – because clients are fixated on foreign names and brands. they never stop to think that perhaps singapore architects are quite capable of doing something fresh and exciting for themselves. if you look at the new 50 storey hdb tower by arc-studio, this local architect beat foster oma etc..only when asian clients lose their fixation with foreign architects and start to nurture their own talent will be see less of this ‘wallpaper’ syndrome with foreign architects churning out second rate designs for a climate and market they clearly dont understand. singapore deserves much better than this.
