Case Study 2

Garden in the sky (Falkenberg, 2012, p.p. 134-140)

‘Garden in the sky’ in the Fusionopolis complex, Singapore by Kisho Kurokawa

The building is to host creative scientists, research and technology companies as well as humanities experts

The concept developed from the initial idea and layout due to some complications and limitations encountered along the way

Plants could be beneficial not only to purify the air but also to be used as insulation due to their volume as a whole

Due to air movement some plants had to be relocated or changed, this featured in the building having five different gardens
