Singapore, Finding an Architectural Identity Project

To make interesting and comfortable city, Architecture has been used as an important tool in the development of a national identity, and since 1990 the government has actively aimed to develop high-quality landmark buildings. The architects always try to design unusual and amazing building. Over recent years several visually interesting, “world’s tallest”, skyscrapers have been constructed with this aim. There are many skyscrapers in this city since there is limited space to create building. All the skyscrapers has complete facilities and functions. The fact that Singapore is unable to build an extremely high skyscraper may have contributed to the government’s drive to construct high-quality municipal buildings. The buildings are very tough and have international standard, it can be said that the buildings are long lasting. The National Library of Singapore, Supreme Law Court of Singapore [above] and most recently Esplanade Theatre [below] are all examples of the excellent modern architecture that Singapore has produced. Each one of these buildings is a striking and successful addition to the city; however, none has become the iconic symbol of Singapore. All the buildings are designed with the artistic and modern concept.
