Botanical Garden with a waterfall fountain - a project of the Singapore airport from a famous architect
Architect Moshe Safdie designed and made the Singapore airport building a reality. The originality of the project lies in its presentation and connection with nature.
Under the roof of the terminal there is a botanical garden, a hotel, a cinema, an amusement park, walking paths, shopping areas, restaurants and more. The central place is occupied by a concave roof with a hole several meters in diameter - a fountain-waterfall.
The roof is designed in such a way that it creates a funnel where the flowing water flows. The latter is used to water plants and provide infrastructure.
Moshe Safdie is one of those archivers who, in addition to the aesthetic side, also pursue the functionality of their structures. Singapore is known for its humid climate, so the problem of excessive rainfall must be taken into account when constructing buildings. And also influence their subsequent use.
Therefore, during the design of the airport, the architect came up with the idea of using a fountain-waterfall. To prevent water from accumulating on the roof during heavy downpours, but flowing down a funnel-shaped gutter inside the terminal. Thus, creating the effect of a mesmerizing waterfall.
The water flowing down from the roof helps maintain the terraced garden inside the airport. There are collected more than 200 species of plants that need daily care.
It is always easy to create any building if there are reliable assistants. On the OXO website in the section "Tools and equipment" more than 11 thousand lots have been collected, among which you can find something suitable.
