Vanderweil, LLP Main Contractor:Ssangyong Other Consultants:Parsons Brinckerhoff Pte Ltd; Peter Walker & Partners Landscape Architects; Hirsch Bender Associates; CL3 M arina Bay Sands is a high-density, mixed- use integrated resort that brings together a 2,560-room hotel, a SkyPark, convention center, shopping and dining, theaters, museum, and a casino across the water rom Singapore’s central business district. Te 929,000 sq m (10,000,000 sq f) urban district anchors the Singapore waterron t, and creates a gateway to Singapore. Te design approach or the complex was not as a building project, but as a microcosm oa city—rooted in Singapore’s culture, climate and contemporary lie. Te aim was to create an urban landscape capable oaddressing the issue omegascale. Te project is designed as an urban structure that weaves together the components oa complex program into a dynamic urban crossroads and public meeting place. Inspired by great ancient cities that were ordered around a vital public thoroughare, Marina Bay Sands is organized around two principal axes that traverse the district and give it a sense oorientation placing emphasis on the pedestrian street as the ocus ocivic lie. Combining indoor and outdoor spaces and providing a platorm or a Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort Singapore Opposite: Overall view of the hotel towers and high level SkyParkwide array oactivities, this vibrant, 21st-century cardo maximus, or grand arcade, also connects to the subway and other transportation. A series olayered gardens provide ample green space throughout the site, extending the tropical garden landscape rom Marina City Park towards the Bayront. Te landscape network reinorces urban connections with the resort’s surroundings and every level othe district has green space that is accessible to t he public. Te most innovative aspect oMarina Bay Sands, both conceptually and technically, is the 1 hectare (2.5 acre) SkyPark atop the hotel towers. Locating the park and hotel amenities at 200m (656f) above the sea afforded the architect the ability to keep the majority othe project rela tively low in heigh t. Te three 55-story hotel towers anchor the district and are connected at the top by the SkyPark—an engineering marvel that, at 340m (1,115f), is longer than the Eiffel ower is tall and large enough to park our-and-a-halA380 jumbo jets. Te 65m (21 3f) cantileve r othe SkyP ark past the third hotel tower orms one othe world’s largest public cantilevers. Te SkyPark accommodates a public observatory, gardens, a 151 meter-long (495 oot-long) swimming pool, restaurants, and jogging paths and offers sweep- ing panoramic views, a ormidable resource in a dense city like Singapor e. Shielded rom the winds a nd lavishly planted with hundreds otrees, the SkyPark celebrates the notion othe Garden City that has been the underpinning oSingapore’s urban design strategy.
