The Green Heart exhibition showcases the Marina One project by ingenhoven architects, which will open in the center of Singapore at the end of 2017. As an international role model for living and working, Marina One makes an innovative contribution to the discourse on megacities, especially in tropical regions, which, in the context of increasing population and climate change, face enormous challenges. The high-density building complex with its mix of uses extends to over 400,000 square meters and, with its group of four high-rise buildings, defines the “Green Heart” – a public space extending over several stories. This three-dimensional green oasis reflects the diversity of tropical flora.
