Pictured above is the Marina Bay Sands resort located in Singapore. The building was designed by the architect Moshe Safdie. It is Singapores first integrated resort, containing a hotel, casino, a movie theater, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The building has over 2500 rooms for guest and separated into three similar buildings. The top floor few floors span across the three buildings and house multiple restaurants offering amazing views. One of the biggest attracts to the resort is the infinity pool. The pool measures 150 long and has a vanishing edge, giving the illusion that the pool drops off the edge of the building. This is accomplished by having the edge slightly lower than the water level, allowing it to flow over the edge where it is recirculated back into the pool. Immediately in front of the pool's vanishing edge is a walkway to prevent guest from attempting to lean over the edge. To allow the supporting buildings to flex independently the top level is supported by a set of joints designed to allow movement in certain directions.
What a great place! I love Moshe Safdie- well his work
