Founders' Memorial in Singapur (SG)

The concept originates from a path; a journey retracing the legacy of the founders.
Multiple paths shape the architecture and landscape, inviting visitors to reflect, learn,
and share while contemplating the dynamic skyline or the lush gardens. All paths lead
to the memorial amphitheatre where visitors gather for milestone events.

As a living memorial, the proposal extends the legacy of The Garden City into the future
for generations to come.

“The Founders’ Memorial, a new kind of monument”

Mr Kengo Kuma, Principal at Kengo Kuma & Associates, said: “More than a building,
we envision a garden park: a place for all people to gather close to nature. The basis
of the design, The Founders’ Path, is a central spine, which cuts through the garden,
defining the new topography with memorial slopes emerging from the landscape to
house the programme. A network of meandering paths and canopies reaches out from
the garden, drawing visitors inward; offering glimpses of the memorial, and finally
revealing the city skyline beyond.”
