Air Hub by Safdie Architects, Singapore Changi Airport |
|
The scheme, to be called Jewel Changi Airport, aims to turn the airport into a public gathering space with gardens, retail stores, hotel, restaurants, and entertainment that will lure travelers, airport employees, and local residents.
Safdie's plan has a number of features that make it both spectacular and striking. First, there is the glass dome itself, which will encompass a space of 134,000 square meters and looks like a science fiction daydream come true. Within the structure, a 130-foot-high waterfall called "Rain Vortex" will tumble continuously and at night be the backdrop for a sound and light show. Construction is expected to begin by the end of 2014, and Jewel is scheduled for completion at the end of 2018. |
