SINGAPORE – Come 2027, the Marina Bay skyline will be reshaped with the addition of a new building – one with clean lines and a flowing green terrain that leads to an amphitheatre.

It is the upcoming Founders’ Memorial, which honours Singapore’s pioneer leaders, located in a 5ha site in Bay East Garden.

The memorial’s winning design by Japanese firm Kengo Kuma & Associates and local firm K2LD Architects was announced on Monday (March 9).

The linear design, which integrates lush greenery and foliage, was unanimously selected as the winner by a seven-member jury.

The panel commended the submission for its distinctive architectural, landscaping and place-making characteristics, among other criteria. It won against four other shortlisted designs.

It will have a viewing gallery, a lake, a forest trail and an amphitheatre suitable for large gatherings.
