Recently, Singapore's "nature-friendly" skyscraper has been completed over the years. The building is 280 meters high and filled with oasis-like vegetation.


The facade texture of the tower adopts dynamic vertical lines, and there are "ripped apart" line shapes on different floors, and you can see the "oasis" inside the building. The building is like a clever combination of vertical form and organic lines, rigidity, and softness.


It is understood that the lower floors of the building are serviced apartments with rich functional facilities, including a swimming pool, jacuzzi, jogging track, gym, communal kitchen, residents’ lounge, and BBQ area. The upper floors are office areas with spectacular panoramic views of the Singapore River and Marina Bay.


The "Oasis" skyscraper is like a "hanging" forest. More than 80,000 plants are planted, the green area ratio is more than 1:1.4, and the green landscape of more than 8,300 square meters accounts for 140% of the building area, bringing a relaxing natural environment for employees and residents.


In addition, the towers provide shade for the street by blocking sunlight and rain with vegetation, mostly of local shade-loving varieties that have been adapted to the dense urban environment. "Oasis" design can help people at work to generate new ideas and new creations, and stimulate their work efficiency and creativity.


The world's three top skyscraper-manufacturing powerhouses


1. China (3187 skyscrapers)


Among the skyscrapers in the world, China has built a large number of high-rise buildings, which can be called "the heyday of skyscrapers". China completed 223 high-rise buildings in 2016 alone. It is worth mentioning that as early as 2018, China surpassed the United States to become the country with the most skyscrapers in the world.


2. The United States (2907 skyscrapers)


The United States is the birthplace of the world's skyscrapers. The earliest skyscraper in modern human history is the Home Insurance Building in the United States. It was built in 1885 and is located in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It is 10 stories high and 42 meters high. It is recognized as the world's first skyscraper and was designed by American architect William Janney.


3. Canada (624 skyscrapers)


Canada has the world-renowned National Television Tower, which is 553.33 meters high and has a very beautiful shape. It is the highest self-supporting structure in the world. Located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, it is an iconic building in the city and is visited by more than 2 million people every year.


The CN Tower was built in 1976 by the Canadian National Railway Company to demonstrate Canada's strong industry. Originally designed as an antenna for transmitting radio and television signals, there is a microwave receiver for transmitting announcement signals at a height of 305 meters.
