Building Details:
Fondly referred to as “The Durian”, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay was a major civic project that DPA undertook in partnership with Michael Wilford & Partners (London) till 1995 and saw it to completion thereafter. The key to its design success laid in delivering a localised design solution for a global platform.
Contemporary but Asian without resorting to ethnic archetypes, this enduring landmark is everything its original design brief envisioned it to be: iconic, all-representing and timeless. This is best exemplified by the architecture’s most prominent feature – its façade. The two rounded envelopes over the primary performance venues provide the dominating legible form.
