Full article or pdf download below

Ahead of the imminent opening of Surbana Jurong Campus, AD China followed Moshe Safdie on one of his recent trips to Singapore, where they revisited his previous projects in the country. 

Since Safdie's arrival in Singapore in 1980 with a residential commission, he has consistently contributed to the country's architectural landscape. His approach to design in Singapore has always centered around individual's experience of a space, prioritizing it over mere form or shape. Marina Bay Sands, an embodiment of the country's lifestyle and climate, encapsulates the national spirit of Singapore. Jewel Changi Airport seamlessly weaves together nature and commerce, creating a unique travel experience for visitors. Surbana Jurong Campus, soon to be completed, will provide an uplifting workspace infused with green technology, serving 4,000 employees.

"If you don’t have hesitations, you are not a serious architect. 
You must have hesitations almost as a state of mind."

— Moshe Safdie
