Henderson Waves Bridge

For travel enthusiasts heading to Singapore to explore the wonderful lush greenery, there is a structure confounding most who see it at first. This construction is the Henderson Waves Bridge and has been baffling tourists for years with the supreme architecture and elegance as it fits perfectly into its surroundings. The bridge was constructed in 2008 and is 274 meters long and is suspended 36 meters above the ground. Balau wood and steel slates are what holds all pedestrians, making for quite a sturdy piece of artwork. The unique shape creates shell cubbies for visitors to sit and rest, making it ideal for those looking to make an evening of the creative favorite here in Singapore.

Shows vary from art exhibits to dance and concerts. This structure is iconic for many reasons, but most of which would be the design from the late Russell Johnson, an acoustic architect who created one of the most prized venues in the world for musical theatre.

Cloud forest, a nature bio conservatory, is quite possibly one of the greatest flora observatories in the world and allows for an opportunity to view vegetation like never before. This other-world experience allows guests to stroll around the misty thirty-five-meter tall mountain engulfed with lush plant life and the largest human-made indoor waterfall in the world. As a pinnacle of biodiversity, visitors are guided through an impressive walkway around the structure and educated about the geology and unique composition of Cloud Forest. There are nine different conservatories encapsulated in the near 2,500 panels of exterior glass and expand to about 0.8 hectares of vegetation, a true stroke of genius and innovation.

Although the use of vegetation is common in architecture within Singapore, the following slide reveals a building inhabited by both plants and people.

Parkroyal On Pickering

Parkroyal on Pickering is truly one of the greatest feats of architecture to ever become a reality. This stunning building, an amalgamation of art and innovation, brings lush vegetation and designs meant to complement the human condition together. Located close to Chinatown and downtown, rooms have natural light and include all an individual needs to be comfortable. Wall gardens and pool decks provide a green and comfy setting to relax. Large birdcage structures provide light privacy and a comfortable seating area and carry the natural feel of the outdoor theme throughout the facility. For those fortunate enough to have a spot in this structure or at least experience all it has to offer, there is perhaps no greater building in the world, as far as design goes, than this masterpiece by the architecture group, WOHA.
