Marina Bay Sands Hotel

So, Singapore for the National Week Break.  Why?  Marl was there her Gates Foundation Project was shortlisted for a World Architecture Festival Award.

Her project was entered in the "Display" category.

Introductions with her colleague Allan.

The talk lasted for about 10 minutes.  And that was it.

Here's the reason I came.  Marl was put up at the famed Marina Bay Sands Hotel.  Three towers and a pool on that horizontal portion that spans the three towers.

The Marina Bay Sands is a complex with a huge shopping mall (Singapore has a LOT of shopping malls) and an art museum.  The blue building with the petals is the museum.  In the background is the central business district of Singapore with Marina Bay in the foreground.

The view from Marl's window on the 24th floor (of 55).  It's the Gardens by the Bay complex. The buildings on the left are the Flower Dome (front) and the Cloud Forest (rear).

The Marina Bay area with a floating soccer field.

The Singapore Flyer

The Super Trees in the Gardens By the Bay in the foreground.  One of my favorite things is that in the background is full of ships, all waiting go head into the port.

Marl and I ordered room service breakfast!!!

The Marina Bay Sands claim to fame?????  The Infinity Pool at the top of the hotel.  The pictures speak for themselves.

"Asian Pose, Asian Pose!!!"  The woman next to Marl was cracking up.

Pretty much what I did for three to four hours everyday.
