Building: The Esplanade
Architect: Koh Seow Chuan, Gan Eng Oon, Vikas Gore, Steven Gan, Cheang Mei Ling, Ti Lian Seng, Chin Thoe Chong, DP Architects Pte Ltd, Michael Wilford , Russell Bevington, David Turnbull, Michael Wilford & Partners
One of the breathtaking buildings that have inspired me to become an architect is The Esplanade Theatre in Singapore. This unconventional structure enables the building to be viewed 360 degrees, having no true front or back face.
Due to Singapore’s hot and humid climate, The Esplanade Theatre celebrates and ties together science and technology with art through its unique hovering canopy, which cleverly addresses Singapore’s hot and humid climatic conditions.
Lastly, I find this building very inspirational as it cleverly weaves its interior space with its outside environment through its structure and extensive use of glass, making the building feel welcoming and open, whilst utilising its waterfront views to the best of its potential.
