One week to go until the official opening of the @expo2020dubai on 1 October!
.
The Pavilion is located in the Sustainability District of the Expo and brings an oasis of lush trees, verdant shrubs and vibrant orchids to the desert.
.
Sheltered by a solar canopy, it operates entirely on solar energy and will maintain a net-zero energy footprint over its operation period.
.
We use passive strategies like sun-shading, natural cross-ventilation and planting to create a comfortable and cool climate.

@saladlandscape: “Two extremes of natural terrain- one with a minimum and the other with the greatest possible amount of vegetation.” - Paul Bowles, the two landscapes that have stimulated the American writer- the desert & the tropic where his writings always based on.
The hot stuffy desert made us think of how the Bedouin move in the vast sand dunes without any guidance besides the red fire ball rising and setting down; besides the stars in the night. Even in the night, it is not a respite. The endless sand dunes are, to us, a lost, non-directional, nothing to refer, but struggle between self & environment; a labyrinth.
In the other pendulum side of our homeland - the tropics is not a peaceful place too. The rainforest does not allow a waste in any niche, everything is compressed. Being within, to us, is a constant encountering with other lives. We too lost in the imploded space where we question more and more to ourselves, trying to form a resonance and connection with other lives.
Same with Paul Bowles’ search of himself in these two polarities, a sponge-like oasis erected in this vast sand land, concocts a collision of two labyrinths in both outermost & innermost environment.

Nature meets architecture, technology, and art at the Singapore Pavilion in Expo 2020. 🌿
From the extensive multi-layered greenery with more than 170 plant varieties, to a verdant pavilion journey augmented by a digital ecosystem featuring innovative climbing robot prototypes, as well as generative artwork and mobile gameplay experiences.
We’re excited to unpack what visitors can look forward to as we convey Singapore’s vision of becoming a City in Nature to the world 🌏. Learn more at the #linkinbio.

We love this @time cover by @baxmaps so much we had to repost it. Can you spot @parkroyalpickering representing #singapore?

@time: The challenges of the past year and a half have transformed our world, and few industries have been as affected as travel, tourism and hospitality. In many ways, our third annual list of the World's Greatest Places is a tribute to the people and businesses at the forefront of those industries who, amid extraordinary circumstances, found ways to adapt, build and innovate. It shines a light on ingenuity, creativity, revitalization and reopenings in 100 unique destinations across the world. While it may not be possible to safely visit each place just yet, they’re all well worth reading (and dreaming) about until it's time, once again, to explore. Read more, and see the full list, at the link in bio. Map by Katherine Baxter (@baxmaps) for TIME; animation by @brobeldesign

#constructionupdate: 443 Queen Street is growing taller and taller in this #timelapse (swipe⬅️) and image by @heinrichgroup.
.
The project will be the city's first high-rise, sub-tropical apartment tower - located along the Brisbane River.
.
The design explores the potential of passive, low-tech, high-ambiance design for the sub-tropical climate, rather than replicating the standard temperate-climate models developed in Sydney or Melbourne.
.
The sub-tropical high-rise opens itself to the climate, with natural light and airflow, and allows for a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. The gardens, terraces and pavilions are fully integrated into the apartments and the common spaces - lobbies, corridors - are sheltered areas within gardens, rather than air-conditioned interiors.
.
Urbanistically, the development opens itself up to the city. At the river level, passers-by will walk under the giant umbrella of the hanging gardens, to the cafe and restaurant which inhabit the base of the building. Tropical plants drape from the hanging gardens which rise and twist, opening up vistas through the site to the Storey Bridge and the river from Queen Street, and from St John's Cathedral.

Project done in partnership with @architectusau

We are delighted that Kampung Admiralty has been awarded Singapore’s highest design accolade, the 2020 President*s Design Award - Design of the Year. The development is a prototype that explores how we should live in the future and how we can age in a life-affirming community. Land use, nature and community spaces are intensified and biodiversity is brought back into the city. 📸: @patrickbinghamhall #integrated #seniorhousing #kampungadmiralty #biodiversity #verticalkampung #communityfarm #happycity #singapore
