PROJECT / BAY SOUTH, GARDENS BY THE BAY, SINGAPORE
as possible with the light itself being used to emphasise the concept and uniqueness of the landscape design.
Each area has its own characteristics and style and are all connected by common underlying concepts, principles and lighting elements, thus forming a coherent vision on the whole and creating a highly sophisticat- ed and exciting nightscape. As LPA examined the overall lighting image of Gardens by the Bay, the guidelines for the masterplan were analysed individually.
COOLED CONSERVATORIES: FLOWER DOME AND CLOUD FOREST
The Conservatory Complex is an architec- tural icon, a horticultural attraction and a showcase of sustainable energy technology. Comprising two biomes designed by Wilkin- son Eyre Architects that house temperate and tropical plants in specially created con- ditions, the conservatories glow with a soft light that illuminates the flower fields and
the misty mountain in the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest respectively. Soft shades of colour, with varying levels of transparency, are also experienced when visitors enter the huge singular spaces.
The large Flower Dome biome, at 1.2 hect- ares (approximately 2.2 football fields), is 38m in height. The glass dome is designed to suit the large range of plants from the Mediterranean, South Africa and California. In the Flower Field, the lighting has been used to create thrilling forms of nighttime entertainment and interaction with the visitors.
The other biome – the smaller but taller Cloud Forest – is 0.8 hectares (approxi- mately 1.5 football fields) and 58m high. The cool moist conservatory simulates the climate of tropical highlands, covered with the plants from Tropical Montane Cloud Forest regions between 1,000 and 3,500 metres above sea level, up to latitudes of 26 degrees north and south of the equator.
Top Further into the conservatory interiors, the Interpretative Media spaces are dark spaces with lighting focused on the media display about the gardens. Luci LED Linear fittings are recessed into the floor and iGuzzini Le Perroquet spots are focused on the multimedia experience.
Above The characteristic design of the landscape elements such as (left) lanterns (custom made by Wako), canopies, (middle) fungi seats (underlit by Luci FLEX outdoor strips) and (right) handrails (with integrated lighting by acdc) created by Grant Associates is reinforced by the lighting that is fully integrated in the space.
