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
