Wilkinson Eyre win Singapore landscape competition
The Singapore Government has announced the winners of Gardens on the Bay - the most significant new landscape design project anywhere in the world and a major competition to redesign the waterfront in Singapore with new botanic gardens, conservatories and promenades. For this multi hectare project (Marina South) an all British team have been chosen – they include award winning architects Wilkinson Eyre, landscape architects Grant Associates and structural engineers Atelier 10.
