Singapore, a diverse and vibrant country, has promoted itself as a centre for arts and culture since 1990. Whilst architecture plays an important role for Singapore to display its diversity, it also helps the country to define itself as one of the most modern countries in the world. The STAR, designed by Aedas Architects, is an excellent example of an iconic building which celebrates arts, culture, leisure and sustainability.
Taking pride of place along Vista Exchange in Singapore is the visually-arresting building designed by Aedas. Andrew Bromberg, Design Director's design concept was driven by the desire to blur the boundaries between retail and cultural zones and indoor and outdoor spaces with flowing spatial transitions that encourage discovery and deliver an energetic civic node serving One-North and beyond.
There are two zones within the entire 62,000m2 development, the Civic and Cultural Zone and the Retail and Entertainment Zone (The STAR Vista).
The STAR Performing Arts Centre, takes up the third to the 11th floors of the building and spans a space of 46,930 sq ft., is the only state-of-the-art 5000-seat performance venue in Singapre that boasts of cutting edge performance spaces, hospitality areas, a multi-purpose hall, amphitheatre and supporting spaces for a variety of events. Aside from the 5,000-seat indoor concert hall, it will also house an outdoor 300-seat amphitheatre, multi-purpose rooms for meetings or as studios, and a roof-top reception area. The civic building is intended to be an organic object, open to public discovery. One can move through and around the complex through a series of ramps, escalators, terraces and public gardens.
The cultural and retail components are bound together with the volume of the 33 metre high ‘grand foyer’. Soft transitions between these two components occur vertically from the most public of the open retail space into the controlled privacy of the theatre. The entire sequence and transitions are linked visually and spatially to the ‘grand foyer’, connecting the sunken retail space below up through the glass floor of the 5,000 seats theatre’s main lobby and exposing its volume that floats above.
