Accredited with Green Mark Platinum & Universal Design GoldPLUS certifications by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore, CapitaSpring has four connected levels of the open-air garden, at the core of the building, weaving nature seamlessly into the architecture. In fact, the vertical soft scape of the Green Oasis mimics the plant hierarchy of tropical rainforests, shade-tolerant plants with large leaves are found on the 「rainforest floor,」 requiring the least amount of direct light, while on the 「roof」 of the rainforest, trees are defined by their smaller leaf structure. Moreover, the tower’s rooftop garden is home to Singapore’s tallest urban farm, with over 150 species of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers grown.
我們的設計旨在繼續新加坡開創性的垂直城市主義，在280米高的多元化社區內外都可以工作、生活和娛樂。由於新加坡城市主義的獨特特點——包括極其密集的和綠色的——我們決定將其設計作為對熱帶城市主義的垂直探索。在地面上，街道被關閉，形成了一個新的線性公園和公共廣場。塔中央的一個垂直公園形成了一個螺旋形的長廊，在熱帶的樹幹和樹冠之間上升。在山頂上，一片城市森林供養了建築里所有的餐館和咖啡館，讓遊客可以享受山頂的光亮。資本就像城市和鄉村、文化和自然可以共存的未來願景，城市景觀可以不受限制地擴展到垂直維度。-- Bjarke Ingels，BIG。
Our design seeks to continue Singapore's pioneering vertical urbanism with the 280m tall diverse neighborhood of places to work, live and play inside as well as outside. Due to the unique character of Singapore’s urbanism – both extremely dense and green - we decided to make the design a vertical exploration of tropical urbanism. At grade, the street is closed to form a new linear park and public plaza. A vertical park in the middle of the tower forms a spiraling promenade ascending among tropical tree trunks and canopies. On top, an urban forest feeds all the restaurants and cafes in the building and allows visitors to enjoy the lushness of the summit. Capitaspring is like a vision of a future in which city and countryside, culture and nature can coexist, and urban landscapes can expand unrestricted into the vertical dimension. -- Bjarke Ingels, Founding Partner, BIG.
