A total of 15 personnel from 7 professional agencies in Singapore, participated alongside 40 ILAM Corporate and Graduate members.

This was one of the fastest-selling technical tours - fully booked less than 3 hours after the event was announced by the secretariat.

With the theme of “Green Infrastructure”, the tour focused on the role of landscape being an essential element in remediating environmental issues such as urban heat island, flash-flood, greenhouse effect etc. due to rapid urbanisation and using Singapore as a case study. The 3 focus areas were ‘Rooftop Greenery’, ‘Vertical Greenery’ and ‘Water Sensitive Urban Design’.

DAY 1: URBAN LIVING AND PLAY ENVIRONMENT

The program kicked-off with a trip to the Pinnacle at Duxton, a multiple award winning high density high rise public housing development in the heart of Singapore. The focus is on the multi-level greeneries introduced as a means of extending possible green communal spaces at a higher altitude. The technical session was conducted by Dr. Lydia Ma from the Housing Development Board of Singapore.

The tour continued with a visit to The Gardens by the Bay, whereby 3 other technical sessions were conducted. The first, a themed playground, the treehouse, conducted by Mr. Jason Sim from Playpoint Singapore, is a customised playground system built around a huge cluster of mature trees. It was followed by a presentation conducted by Ms. Samantha Koh and Mr. Mark Wong from CT-Art Creation Singapore on Water Play at the children’s garden, where the entire mechanical and electrical system for the water play was planned to be energy efficient.

The noon session began with a vertical greenery technical session conducted by Mr. Veera Sekaran from Greenology Pte. Ltd. The focus of the talk was on the “felt and bag” vertical greenery system, using the live example of his installation at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel at Orchard Road and The Heeren Shopping Mall.
