Entry Description

The Sustainable Singapore Gallery at Marina Barrage is an interactive educational experience for students and the public that highlights present and future climatic threats to the low-lying island city-state of Singapore. The main gallery is segmented into 6 zones, each examining a specific theme. Text, multimedia, graphics and everyday objects illustrate the 'blue and green' concept of sustainability and efforts in a tangible and engaging way. An organic 'ribbon' element weaves the zones together, inviting visitors to explore, learn and take active steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
