The Sail @ Marina Bay / Peter Pran

The design concept for this mixed use residential tower in Singapore is a sculpture created by the hands of nature - Sun, Wind and Water. The design exemplifies and defines natural forces with the overall composition created as if it were formed by water passing through the site. The result includes two prominent towers and a sculpted base. A “canyon” is formed separating the base from the tower mass and becomes an important urban space that exposes a lush green environment to inhabit.

Tom Dixon brought manufacturing into the retail environment by placing an ARBURG 35 tonne injection moulding machine inside Selfridges Oxford Street. His aim was to integrate the end customer and the retailer in the manufacturing stages of the design process.

Dettmer carves up old books without inserting or changing the location of their contents, selectively retaining images and text to create intricate derivative works that reveal new or alternative interpretations of the books.
