The design for this Malaysian-Singaporean joint venture actively engages the space of the surrounding city to form a new civic nucleus in Singapore’s modern metropolis. The two towers are not conceived as autonomous objects, but defined by the spaces they create around them.
The design for DUO subtracts circular carvings from the allowable building volumes in a series of concave movements that generate urban spaces, a kind of "urban poché" that co-opts adjacent buildings and symbiotically inscribes the two towers into their context.
By generating the massing through a subtractive process, the elevations of the new towers are reduced to slender profiles. Vertical facades rise skywards along the adjoining roads, while a net-like hexagonal pattern of sunshades reinforces the dynamic concave shapes. The duo of tower volumes is further sculpted to feature a series of cantilevers and setbacks that evoke choreographed kinetic movements of the building silhouettes.
The buildings dematerialize as they reach the ground to provide a porous permeable landscape traversing the site. Leisure zones and gardens act as a connector between multiple transport hubs and establish a flow of tropical greenery and lively commercial activity, accessible to the public 24 hours a day. A plaza, carved into the center of the towers and integrating the neighboring building as part of its perimeter, forms a new public nexus between the historic district of Kampong Glam and the extension of the city’s commercial corridor.
Multiple levels of vertical connectivity give access to large elevated terraces for the hotel and residents, a public observation deck and a sky restaurant atop the office/hotel tower, while establishing a direct connection to the adjacent underground MRT subway station. Vehicular traffic is lifted off the ground to allow an uninterrupted pedestrian circulation. Extensive landscape areas at the ground levels, elevated terraces and roofscapes provide accessible green space equal to 100% of the site area.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2013, with completion pencilled in for 2017.
26,700m2 lot bounded by Ophir Road, Beach Road, Rochor Road, North Bridge Road and Fraser Street

The GDP of the ASEAN-5 economies is projected to expand by 5.5 percent and 5.8 percent in 2011 and 2012, respectively and with this new regional hub in Singapore, FedEx will further enhance their ability to offer customers unparalleled connectivity and enhanced services.

The Omni-Theatre, was originally opened on 10 December 1987 and is Singapore's only IMAX dome theatre.
The 276-seat theatre is equipped with state-of-the-art IMAX technology which delivers the world’s most immersive experience. This is possible through the combination of specially-designed facilities (5-storey dome screen, seating configuration, digital sound system) and quality large format films (15perf/70mm). The renovated theatre now has Asia's newest and largest seamless dome screen at 16m tall and 23m in diameter.
IMAX is the world’s most immersive experience. With crystal clear images and wraparound digital surround sound, IMAX lets you feel like you’re really there. This massive 5-storey high hemispheric screen measures 16m in height (5 storeys) and 23m in diameter. Stretching 180 degrees from wall to wall and tilted at a 30 degree angle to the horizon, the screen “wraps” over the audience giving a lateral view of 180 degrees and a vertical view of 125 degrees – far exceeding a person’s field of vision.
The screen is made of aluminium so as to achieve 30% reflectivity (enhanced clarity) and it is has 43.54 million perforations which allow air from the air-conditioners and sound from the speakers to pass through to the audience. The theatre only screens 15 perforation, 70mm film - the largest film frame in motion picture history! More than ten times the size of a conventional 35 mm frame and three times larger than a normal 70mm movie frame, this immense size is key to IMAX’s extraordinary sharpness and clarity.
The educational films offered cover genres such as science, space, nature, animals, marine life, culture, natural disasters and more.
IMAX projectors are the most advanced, powerful and highest-precision projectors in the world. The key to their superior performance is the proprietary 'rolling loop' film movement which advances the film horizontally in a smooth, wave-like motion. During projection, each frame is positioned on fixed registration pins, and the film is held firmly against the rear element of the lens by a vacuum. As a result, the picture and focus steadiness are far above the normal projection standards and provide outstanding image clarity.
The projector also incorporates a unique 180 degree Leitz wide-angle lens, which uses a powerful 15,000-Watt water-cooled xenon lamp, similar to the one used to light NASA's launching pads. In addition, it works with a Quick Turn Reel Unit (QTRU) which does away with film rewinding. This dramatically reduces film wear and is crucial in maintaining the highest clarity standards. Its five platters also allow four typical 40-minute large format films or a maximum of two 40-minute films and two 150-minute films to be in a ready state at any one time.
Unlike conventional theatre sound systems, IMAX digital surround sound systems deliver multi-channel, uncompressed, full fidelity sound that is simply unsurpassed in depth and clarity! Its amplifiers generate up to 14,000 watts of power and its proprietary loudspeaker system delivers exacting volume and quality that allows you to hear every shade and subtlety of any sound, regardless of where you sit.
For movies originally shot in IMAX, filmmakers use proprietary IMAX cameras. IMAX cameras have been to some of the most extraordinary places in the universe. These cameras are extremely versatile and can be used in virtually any environment - from outer space to the ocean floor, the top of Mt. Everest and all around the globe.
Together with complementary facilities such as a space science exhibition hall, gift shop, F&B outlets and observatory, the Omni-Theatre provides an edutaining experience for the whole family.

The much awaited SkyGarden, on the roof level of nex, has opened. Occupying a floor area of some 10,000sq ft, the SkyGarden consists of: Kidz Play, a children’s playground with both wet and dry play areas; K9 Park, the first and only dog park to be incorporated into a mall; and 10 establishments that will set to make nex a hub for learning and child development, and even a haven for parents.
For pets and their owners, the SkyGarden offers K9 Park, The Pet Safari and Doggiestyle Café. K9 Park, is Singapore’s first and only dog park incorporated into a mall. It was thoughtfully designed to have two separate play areas - one for big dogs and another for small dogs, in order to keep the canines safe from each other. The Pet Safari is a pet shopping mall that brings the best vets, pet groomers, products and services under one roof – and the only enclosed shopping area in Singapore that allows owners to shop freely with their pets. Doggiestyle Café, meantime, is a café-cum-dog day care centre that allows pets to dine with their owners.
Aside from housing pet-friendly establishments, the SkyGarden, is a delight to parents with young kids. The SkyGarden at
nex will have 5 educational outlets: Aspire Hub Education, which takes a comprehensive approach in helping students cope with their academic challenges; Baby Spa, which offers swimming exercises and massage to stimulate babies’ physical growth and mental development; Brillionaire Kids, which works closely with parents to bring out the best in their children; CS Montessori Learning Centre, which offers a broad-based curriculum to encourage the development of multiple intelligence in children; and The Ballet and Music Company, which offers ballet, dance and music courses for all ages. The learning hub at nex will be completed with the National Public Library that will open in March.
The SkyGarden also has something for the parents and pet owners. After they have left their little ones in good hands in any of the abovementioned establishments, the adults can take their much-deserved break and indulge themselves at Young & Slim Beauty Bar, which offers innovative skin & body care products and treatments from Japan or shop at the soon to be opened King & King Wong, a lifestyle and home furnishing store.
Pet owners bringing their dogs to the K9 Park may only access the Park through a specially designated pet lift, so as not to cause any inconvenience for other shoppers. Dogs are strictly not allowed in other areas of the mall.
Kidz Play and K9 Park are open from 11am to 9pm daily. The SkyGarden however follows the malls operating hours (10.30 am to 10.30 pm).
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has just unveiled its Yunnan Garden Campus Master Plan, which will transform the campus – the largest in Singapore at 200 hectares – into a mini city. When fully completed, it will have a number of trendy meeting points dotting the landscape to encourage cross-campus chats. Walk into one of these and you will be able to have a conversation with a student, professor or researcher from another discipline or school.
Such common spaces will help to break down psychological ‘glass walls’, and encourage people of different research interests and disciplines to get to know one another better. In this way, everyone will benefit from the cross-fertilisation of ideas that springs from unexpected connections across the sciences. This is something that is becoming increasingly important as new knowledge comes from the overlaps between disciplines.
To create a melting pot of diverse talents across disciplines is in line with the NTU 2015 five-year strategic blueprint announced in November 2010. As part of this blueprint, NTU will put its global stamp in five areas known as the Five Peaks of Excellence. The five interdisciplinary areas are Sustainable Earth, Future Healthcare, New Media, New Silk Road and Innovation Asia.
Today, NTU is already a cosmopolitan hub of 33,000 students and 3,000 faculty and researchers from more than 70 countries. Future visitors to the new Univer-City can expect to find retail shops, cafes and restaurants, and even a pub and cinema in this self-contained campus, together with its existing conveniences. These will be at the new Campus Centre, which will become the heart of NTU. A road near the School of Art, Design and Media leading to the Administration Building will be transformed into a pedestrian promenade. The Campus Centre will create a ribbon of diverse meeting places, with academic, social and residential facilities located alongside each other.
Connecting with Nature: No concrete jungle, this will be a vibrant Univer-City with a soul. Today, the Yunnan Campus is already home to a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The Campus Master Plan aims to enhance this even further with additional plants and landscaping. Providing soup for the soul, new blue spaces will be created to add to the green. All these will provide the NTU community with a myriad of opportunities to connect with Mother Nature. The open lush greenery of the campus will be integrated with covered walkways and cycling lanes, to encourage people to walk or ride eco-friendly bicycles. Later on, pavilions and decks can be built next to a network of ponds and lakes to create new outdoor classrooms and lookout points, providing more common spaces for learning and relaxation.
The new ponds will enable NTU to reuse the rain water for irrigation of its lush expanses of greenery. Eventually, all the water bodies, including the naturalized waterways, ponds and lakes will form a continuous swath of blue across the campus to complement the greenery.
Forging greater industry links: The Campus Master Plan also aims to create a seamless physical integration between NTU and its neighbour, the upcoming CleanTech Park, a 50 hectare eco-business facility developed by JTC Corporation. It will be easy and convenient to move between the two entities, facilitating the shared use of research facilities and common spaces for social interaction.
Fostering greater interaction: The pulse of a city is its population. NTU believes that a residential experience is an important part of a holistic varsity education. NTU will be adding 5,000 new hostel places (single and shared rooms) by 2015. This will allow every undergraduate who desires to stay on campus to be able to do so.
At present, there are 9,200 places spread over 16 halls of residence. A new graduate hall, to be ready by early 2013, will house an additional 690 places for graduate students, which will result in more than double the current places available. International faculty and staff can also look forward to new housing facilities on campus.
A new Learning Hub – a shared facility for all schools – will also be created, housing about 70 “Classrooms of Tomorrow”. These classrooms are designed to drive group discussion and interaction. Whiteboards will be replaced by giant interactive screens, and students can even collaborate with their peers in different countries. SMART Boards will empower lecturers to virtually modify their teaching, so as to best fit individual students' learning styles. The Hub is expected to be ready in two years’ time.
To drive cross-disciplinary collaboration, a new Interdisciplinary Research Building is being planned. Catering to a mix of research faculty from NTU and its institutional partners, the building will be located near the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Building at Nanyang Link and is scheduled to be ready by 2014.
In anticipation of the needs of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, a new building will be built at the Yunnan Campus, in addition to the upcoming Novena Campus. To be outfitted with the latest technologies for learning and discovery, the building will be designed for current and emerging trends in medical education, such as virtual learning, clinical simulations and interdisciplinary collaborations. Located near the School of Biological Sciences on Nanyang Drive, it is expected to be ready by 2014. Easy access between the Yunnan and Novena campuses is being planned to ensure interaction of students from both campuses.
Extensive consultation: The Campus Master Plan is developed by the University together with a team of consultants led by Mr Harold Guida from Guida Moseley Brown Architects. It is the culmination of two intensive years of work by NTU’s Campus Planning committee that began in 2008 which included meetings with hundreds of members of the NTU community in this extensive planning process.

Facebook is expanding its footprint in Asia, by opening a new office in Singapore to tap on the fast growing number of advertisers and users in this region. The social networking site now has three million users in Singapore alone.
The company already has offices in Tokyo and Malaysia, but these focus mainly on developers and engineering. "It''s something we all know and participate in almost every other day, where our friends ask our opinion on purchases, on brands. This is something that comes up in conversations a lot, so the ability to bring the social context into advertising brings a great deal of value and relevancy to advertising," said Stephen Dolan, commercial director of Facebook.
Facebook has 500 million users, logging on in over 70 languages worldwide. "About two years ago, we translated the site. As the Asian languages are now starting to get translated to various dialects, we''re seeing enormous growth. We kind of see it over the world (for the other languages), but Asia, we are seeing some acceleration which we''re excited about," said Blake Chandlee, VP & Commercial Director (APAC, LATAM & CEEMA), Facebook.
Its Singapore sales office will service Southeast Asia such as regional media buyers and agencies based here. Facebook said it is still in the process of defining the exact role for its existing Singapore-based media sales partner ihub Media, but confirmed it will continue their working relationship.
"What we do find is that as brands become busy and investments get to more significant levels, often brands want a direct relationship with Facebook. So we had to make decisions where it''s important for us to have Facebook employees versus partners," said Chandlee.
High-end furniture retailer Space, headquartered in Australia, will invest S$50 million into the launch of its new Group flagship complex in Singapore, the Space Asian Hub, due to be completed by mid/3rd quarter 2011.

Nucleus Connect has announced several important milestones ahead of its commercial launch of Singapore's Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN). It has launched key facilities including two central offices that house the crucial network equipment. This will allow Nucleus Connect to offer four new services for retail service providers (RSP) to test their operations and systems. The services include the co-location of servers and interoperability testing. The launch of Nucleus Connect's Central Offices underscores its commitment to enable RSPs to develop their service offerings more quickly, so that they are able to offer a wide range of services to the end-users from the second half of this year. For a start, co-location, patching and interoperability testing services are now made immediately available to the RSPs. For instance, RSPs can now co-locate with Nucleus Connect at both of its Central Offices which occupy over 90,000 sq ft. This allows RSPs to place their equipment right inside Nucleus Connect’s Central Offices; and enjoy the advantages of the close proximity to the heartbeat of the Next Gen NBN. In this way, RSPs can be assured that they are able to deliver high-quality services to the end-users with minimal disruption to their network.
Further details on pricing for RSPs will be made available by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore shortly. The company expects to fully roll out commercial services to consumers by the third quarter of 2010. Nucleus Connect, a wholly-owned subsidiary of StarHub is responsible for designing, building and operating the active infrastructure of the new broadband network.
