Singapore: Vertical Gardens was done for the #FutureOfCities project, a PANOS Pictures inspired group project done with the support of Sony.
With a growing urban population, high-rise buildings will feature prominently in future cities. Land is a major constraint in most Asian cities and in the face of high-density urbanisation, the only way is to build upwards. In Singapore, being a dense metropolis where land area is extremely limited, high-rise building forms have for years typified the urban fabric. In this installation of the FutureOfCities project, I focus on Singapore’s explorations of verticality and their vertical gardening projects that dot the ever-growing city to see how the city actively enhances their vertical liveability by colliding nature and modern architecture, thus sealing the future of vertical living.
