Airport in Singapore🇸🇬
Airport in Singapore🇸🇬.Singapore has opened a terminal with the world's largest artificial waterfall. To date, the Singapore airport leads the ranking of the most beautiful airports in the world.
The terminal project looks like a huge glass donut with an area of 135,700 square meters, which is completely framed in steel. This is a multifunctional complex designed to connect three of the four terminals of Changi Airport. The waterfall called Rain Vortex (Whirlwind of rain) has a height of 40 meters and flows into the hole in the roof with a glass dome. It was designed by the architectural firm Moshe Safdie.
The donut-shaped glass and steel roof was designed by Happold, while the designers created a climate-controlled indoor forest. Thunderstorms are frequent in Singapore, so the waterfall was designed to drain rainwater at a rate of 10,000 gallons per minute. This flow of water will naturally cool the air under the dome, while the collected rainwater will be reused.
The waterfall is surrounded by terraces with walkways for visitors, planted with 200 species of plants. The five floors of the Jewel Changi building are filled with shops and restaurants. The new building is connected to Singapore's public transport system and other terminals via footbridges. Jewel Changi Airport covers a total area of 134 thousand square meters, and 5 of the 10 floors of the building are hidden underground.
Another know-how of the terminal is the Skytrain, which runs between the three terminals. Its paths pass through a bridge constructed across the entire Jewel Changi gallery at the height of the third floor. Thus, trains appear from a rock, pass a waterfall in the air and disappear into another rock.
In addition to the fact that Jewel Changi connects three terminals, a shuttle bus runs here from the fourth terminal. Here, tourists can stay at the YOTELAIR hotel, which has a capacity of 130 beds, and also leave their belongings in the luggage storage room. It is also home to Changi Lounge, developed to complement a new intermodal service that improves air-sea connectivity for cruise ship passengers. And yet, the airport offers a very unusual, but unique service - a free bank loan for 12 hours. For passengers who get bored between long connections between flights, there are 11 cinemas.
On the top floor is the 14,000 square meter Cnopy Park, which, in addition to the themed gardens, also has several restaurants and cafes. Despite the opening of the terminal, work is still underway, and by the end of this year, Sky labyrinths, Discovery slides and a 50-meter Canopy bridge are expected to open.
Delving into the backstory of the project, he carries the idea of a bigger yellow taxi. In essence, the Changi Airport Group has turned the parking lot into a gated paradise inspired by Singapore's reputation as a "garden city".
Singapore Airport is only 30 minutes away from the CBD, making it possible for locals to head there for the occasional meal or cinema experience. Changi Airport Group executives are betting on this as they expect it to be a new hotspot for Singaporeans.
Changi Airport is currently the seventh busiest airport in the world in terms of international traffic. According to the latest data from the airport, 65.6 million passengers passed through its four terminals in 2018. It connects to over 400 cities around the world and is served by over 100 airlines, with planes taking off or landing every 80 seconds. Passenger numbers have almost doubled in the last 10 years, according to the airport, so there is a constant focus on growth.
