• Singapore's high-rise flora covering may have doubled by the year 2030. Desmond Lee, the second minister of national development, claims that the government set this objective to increase urban biodiversity and improve the aesthetics of the urban landscape.

• Currently, while developing a site, developers must restore any lost vegetation. However, they can only achieve this by adding gardens and sky terraces on rooftops or landscaping the interior of the structure.

The 637-room hotel features beautiful plant-filled outdoor plazas and terraces that draw the eye up from the garden and flow into the interiors, in addition to rain sensors, solar power, water- and light-saving techniques, and the use of less concrete in its construction.

One of my experimental models was this one. I made the decision to focus on flow and movement. This pattern was seen in many online inspiring images as well as at the Heydar Aliy Centre.

This is a development of the model. In my initial model, I wanted to convey the flow and movement. This model is made of two parts that connect to form a building and has a unique shape.
