Singapore Sports Hub: engineering the National Stadium

摘要

Arup has a long track record of bringing the best of its international expertise to large projects around the world. A key tenet of design at Arup is the concept of "total architecture" or holistic design. This philosophy was evident in the way design teams were organised to foster collective thinking in developing the Singapore Sports Hub. It was apparent, also, in the effectiveness and efficiency of the collaboration with Dragages, DP Architects, AECOM and the many other parties involved in bringing this project to fruition. This was truly a team effort. Innovative ideas were nurtured, unique concepts were developed and delivered, to make the Sports Hub a venue perfectly matched to its location. It meets all its objectives: providing sporting facilities for the city's residents, a spectacular setting for international sporting fixtures and world-class concerts, and - perhaps most importantly of all - a home for the National Day Parade when the people of Singapore come together to celebrate their city's independence.
