September 2010 – Access to shooting locations outside of the site was impossible during the end of August, the whole of September and the beginning of October due to the Singapore Youth Olympics and the Formula 1. Entry to all of my off-site locations were guarded and barricaded by hot and bothered security guards so all this months photos are taken from within the site boundary.
The Cool Dry Conservatory gridshell has been prepared for receiving the glass panels and installation has started at the rear and is rapidly moving forward. Inside the conservatory the construction of the Baobab leaf, a huge Post-tensioned concrete structure floating over a 1000 Seat Events Space, is almost finished. The cultivated world planters and viewing terraces are also well under way.
The Cool Moist mountain has reached level 5 and has continued to climb skyward. The Contractor has obviously learnt from the construction of the Cool Dry and has started erecting the gridshell before any of the arches have been erected.
