City and Architecture | Averaging 30,000 Steps a Day, A Walking Tour of Singapore

Our team measured Singapore with our feet,
not only exploring top-tier campuses,
but also deeply experiencing the ambition of this "Vertical Garden City"!

Singapore proves with strength that green architecture is not just about planting a few trees, but a systematic revolution from policy to design!
✅ Strong policy: The famous LUSH program uses floor area incentives to "force" the creation of sky gardens and vertical forests.
✅ Solid execution: From the waterfall-style terrace greenery at Parkroyal on Pickering (photo 8) to the stunning indoor rain vortex and Forest Valley at Jewel Changi Airport (photos 4/5), architecture and nature have become symbiotic.
✅ Explosive effect: Look at the street scenes we captured (photo 6), where skyscrapers coexist harmoniously with rainforests; even the cold facade of the financial building (photo 9) reveals warm greenery.

📸 Every shot from our walking tour is a knowledge point!
The "breathing" building facade: Parkroyal on Pickering (photo 8) is a textbook example of vertical greening, with every terrace extending nature.
The "disruptive" public space: Jewel Changi Airport (photos 4/5) brings forests and waterfalls into the airport—this is not just a transport hub, but a perfect fusion of natural wonder and commercial space!
The "permeating" urban planning: On the streets (photos 6/7), low traditional roofs frame with skyscrapers without any sense of discord, with greenery spreading from the ground all the way to the skyline.
The "humanized" detail scale: From the cycling paths under the sunset at Marina Bay (photo 1) to the vibrant circulation design inside malls (photo 10), every detail reflects care for people.
......

🔥 Singapore’s urban design allows the structure itself to "grow" an ecosystem. This "permeating design," which seamlessly weaves nature, light, and public space into architecture, also brings unprecedented inspiration for us to rethink the openness, breathability, and vitality of future schools!
