WATERFALL DETAIL
Bridging water & sound
(Lim 2019, Jewel Changi Airport)
The inclusion of the water fall comes after the realization that the sensation of Zen could result in a lonely, alienated
and quiet zone. Thus, inspired by Japanese fountains, an opening is carved out of the roof, allowing gentle flow of
water to create subtle ripples of sound. As shown by the Indoor waterfall at Changi Jewel, Singapore.

Walking from the hub, the entrance is free from more complicated features such as
the middle features. Its purpose is to prevent visual stress when students and users

concrete shelters are moved away from cramping the exit, and placed taller than
the rest, to act as a breather for those exiting the tunnel. WOODGROVE
