Marina Bay Sands
Three towers holding up a surfboard-shaped sky park/Modern Buildings
Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, designed by Moshe Safdie and opened in 2010, is a resort complex defined by three 57-storey towers topped by a 340-meter-long SkyPark that cantilevers 67 meters beyond the tower edge. The rooftop infinity pool stretches 150 meters and holds about 1,400 cubic meters of water. The entire complex cost roughly $8 billion to build, making it one of the most expensive standalone buildings ever constructed. It looks like a giant decided to balance a canoe on three decks of cards, and somehow it works.
