Singapore is famous for its wide variety of first-rate artistic buildings, sculptures, and gardens. In 1967, Singapore’s president declared that he wanted the city transformed into an urban forest. Half a century later, these buildings testify to the success of his vision.

Inspired by a deck of cards, this spectacular building is a casino, hotel, and entertainment complex spanning three towers with a rooftop garden.

The Hive
Resembling a beehive with tufts of luscious vegetation crowning it, The Hive is a learning space for the Nanyang Technological University that spans 12 eight-story towers.
School of Art, Design & Media
This building is composed of three interwoven wings with wavy green turf-filled roofs that surround a sunken courtyard in the center.
