The Sands SkyPark is an awe-inspiring engineering wonder. This unique structural masterpiece, designed by visionary architect Moshe Safdie, floats atop the three soaring Marina Bay Sands hotel towers 200m in the sky.
Stretching longer than the Eiffel tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets, with an impressive 12,400 square meters of space, the Sands SkyPark can host up to 3900 people. The gravity-defying cantilever is one of the largest of its kind in the world. From this privileged observation deck, hundreds of visitors at a time can feast their eyes on the unforgettable panorama view.
I won’t go back until they tear down the Esplanade bridge & put the Long Bar back where it belongs.
I’ve never been to Singapore. I hear its a great place - although being on the Equator I’d probably die due to the heat and humidity.
Saw this on the show Build it Bigger w/ Danny Foster. Amazing structure.
I say this last week on “Build it Bigger” on the Science Channel.
Incredible engineering marvel.
Makes me want to invest in Singapore.
You can produce a lot of engineering marvels when your populace is well educated and nearly drug free.
No thanks, gives me the willies.
