Our Iconic Building
Our Iconic Building
Designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie, the lotus-inspired ArtScience Museum has been called “The Welcoming Hand of Singapore” by Mr Sheldon Adelson, the chairman of Las Vegas Corp.
The building’s form is made up of 10 ‘fingers’ anchored by a unique round base in the middle. The design of each finger reveals different gallery spaces and the skylights at the ‘fingertips’ dramatically illuminate the curved interior walls.
The Museum’s roof channels rainwater through the central atrium of the building creating a 35m water drop into a small, reflecting pool. The collected rainwater is recycled for use in the building.
