Architects love it. Fengshui master thinks it is a disaster.
Architects:
Dr Erwin Viray : "I think the sky garden could become iconic and
the first in the world"
Goh Chong Chia : "Roof gardens have been created before but not on
this sort of scale. It's like lifting the ground to a whole new
level"
Feng Shui Master:
Victor Li : "On their own, the three tall building look like three
ancestral tablets and with the sky garden, it looks like a broken
flyover, with neither head or tail"
Tan Khoon Yong : "it resemble a blade that will affect all building
surrounding the IR, especially the Swissotel Stamford. Also because
the rooftop is flat, it restrict the development of the IR"
Adeline Pang : "has no problem with the flat roof, she warned that
the garden should not have ponds or water features or the water
features because this would symbolise a drowning building"
Public :
Ms Loke Mei En : "It looks embarassing. The design is haphazard put
together. It's an aberration on our waterfront"
"Other liken the towers to joss-sticks and a glorified
factory"
