Welcome to this blog, created in order to show some highlights of the modern architecture nowadays. I will try to show you these new buildings, created in this century, or also in the past XX century but with important aftermaths for the current century. The building chosen each time, will be one famous example of the new works of several architects, most of them, unknowns for the public.
For this first time, I chose one of the more impressive complex I've ever seen, the Marina Bay Sands, in Singapore. I knew about this one because its opening was announced by a lot of media around the world.
The designer of this huge complex is the canadian-israeli architect Moshe Safdie (Haifa, 1938).
This building is famous because of its huge and flat terrace, containing the swimming pool of the complex, all supported by three towers, the axis of the complex, making up of two parts converging on the top, where terrace and towers become one.
I'm sure this building will become a new symbol of the small booming republic, also an example of the new area for the modern architecture which is Asia today. This continent will be a very important part of my blog's posts, as a relative unknown area for architecture's history and reviewing. Again, welcome.
