Memorial of Founder's
Singapore
The memorial will be a part of a public park and coordinate with it; in particular its across and the rising path coming from a protective arch until the top of the belvedere to enjoy at sunset the framed panorama of the city. The Singapore Founders Memorial is a city-wide urban installation anchored in a new land reclaimed from the sea. This will be one of the new highlights of the city - a symbol and an iconic postcard image made for “selfies” in the future. Its design mimics the shape of a circle and an interconnected dome that binds together the people of Singapore.
The project is an installation for the XXI century, using a variety of lighting and spatial devices. It is an architectural installation that operates like a camera capturing the daytime or nighttime atmosphere. It opens up a powerful horizon line from the city towards the rising sun and facing the forests of vertical and iconic towers of the city at sunset. The body of this architectural arrangement sparkles with light when the sun rises and reflects light on the celestial dome. As a complement, the multi-purpose esplanade, located along the quay at the foot of the memorial, proposes a lively and dynamic space.
