With the completion and opening of Marina Bay Sands, Singapore's skyline has been transformed. The iconic form of the three towers - supporting the outrageously cantilevered sky park - is the new symbol of Singapore, one to rival the Merlion.
This book presents a never-been-seen before collection of photographs, which capture in stunning detail the architectural highlights of Marina Bay Sands. From the lavish hotel suites to the vast gaming floors, from the world-class collection of artwork to the spectacular array of shopping, fine-dining and convention facilities, and of course, the 340m-long SkyPark, boasting the highest and longest infinity pool in the world - they're all here. A special section documents the huge challenges faced in the construction process, which had to be completed in record time, and the ground-breaking technical innovations that were developed to overcome these obstacles.
Throughout the book, fascinating facts and figure and anecdotes give the reader yet more insights into MBS's hitherto hidden facets.
As a souvenir of this milestone moment in history - Singapore's ascendance to the ranks of the world's great cities - this book is invaluable. Singaporeans and tourists alike will not fail to be enthralled by this first-ever pictorial survey of Marina Bay Sands.
