Dream City

The extraordinary Marina Sands building consists of three skyscrapers and a top deck which has full size trees growing on the roof. the small inverted dish structure to the left is a museum approximately the same size as Sydney Opera House. The wheel is pretty big too.

Singapore is an architect's dream and a builder's nightmare. Countless construction workers toil in the tropical heat to create crazy tilting buildings, gardens in the sky, air-conditioned open spaces, canopied walkways and spiral shopping malls. All is cool and beautiful. Except the air which is humid and heavy, and very very hot.
