Project Description
FROM WOHA:
Three projects selected from WOHA’s innovative portfolio are the centerpiece of the immersive multimedia exhibition, designed to draw visitors into the vertical environments. Among them is PARKROYAL on Pickering (2013), an innovative hotel that has been celebrated for its topographical architecture and the blurring of boundaries between building and landscape; SkyVille @ Dawson (2015) boldly redefines the model for social housing development with its sky villages and lush gardens on multiple ground levels; and the Oasia Downtown Hotel (2016), enveloped by a living green façade, embraces the notion of breathing architecture and reimagines urban ecosystems for both humans and living creatures alike.
The exhibition transports visitors to WOHA’s projects in Singapore, where hyperdense, towering garden cities are replacing worn out urban paradigms. Through porous façades, airy pathways, and communal gardens, the immersive experience hints at a utopian urban future—but one that is already taking shape. Grounded in the context of the tropical Asian megacity, Fragments of an Urban Future offers an enlightening template for architects, designers, and engineers, as well as developers and investors throughout the tropical belt and beyond.
