Marina Barrage, just around Marina Bay

[...]
Marina Barrage, the latest addition of architecture spectacles in Singapore. A water treatment reservoir, said to be the first reservoir to combine ecology, education, and entertainment into a typology of this sort. Of course there is the one built in Hiroshima, but that was for waste treatment, not water. So the claim may well be true. :)
Enjoy the pictures, especially for those of you enjoy black and white so much. This is a tribute for you all. :D

A display of how the pump house machine works, part of the show here.

Curving ramps to access the roof garden, beautiful curves they are.

There's a man here. Find him among the curving lines.

But after the hype of curving forms and beautiful architecture,
what makes this piece of architecture great is the presence of people.

Inside the sustainable gallery.

So there you have it, a place worth visiting when you're in the area. New, hip, educating, and promises many beautiful pictures. :)
