Fudao connects Fuzhou’s Minjiang River in the southwest to the West Lake Park in the northwest. This 19-kilometre walkway stitches together a network of 10 different entrances that brings together communities previously separated by the mountainous terrain.

Located in Fuzhou’s historical San Fang Qi Xiang district, the connector’s curvilinear designn was inspired by the ancient city’s traditional roofscapes while the walkway weaves in and out of the mountains like in a Chinese landscape painting.

Complementing the walkway are 10 different entrances each with bold urban interventions. At Meifeng Hill, a new park houses a stunning spiral ramp. The existing water body was transformed from a village fish pond into a bio-retention basin that purifies runoff from the surrounding hills.

The Jin Niu Shan Spiral Knoll, a five-storey spiral ramp measuring 24-metres in diameter, was introduced next to an indoor sports hall to transform a disused plaza space. The existing bus depot at West Station, which was previously underutilised, is being transformed into a food and beverage enclave as well as a visitor centre

Located between Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, the pavilion was originally built to house The Future of Us, an exhibition to commemorate Singapore’s golden jubilee in 2015.

The pavilion consists of 11,000 unique perforated aluminium panels, 12,040 bolts, 11,188 plates and 4,620 elements for the main steel structure. After the designers set the parameters for the pavilion, they left it to the computers to generate each of the panels which were prefabricated overseas. Everything was then delivered on-site with a map for the construction team to simply put together the pavilion like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The speed and ease of construction impressed the chairman of the Future of Us exhibition steering committee, Benny Lim: “While most visitors were struck by the finesse and degree of detail of the design, those of us working on the exhibition were more impressed by the ingenious execution that allowed such a complex structure to be constructed so efficiently within a short time.”

The pavilion’s unique form is based on the analysis of environmental data such as sun path and wind direction, as well as views from inside the structure. The designers created digital tools that derived forms based on these data while taking into consideration the need to build sustainably with the optimum amount of materials.
