One notable fact is the collaboration with the world-famous sculptor Fernando Botero (1932-2023), whose work is in the arrival courtyard, and Ju Ming (1938-2023), who installed the 12 Gentlemen series at our plaza, featuring a water feature. 

The project is situated at Buonavista MRT in Singapore.

All credits go to Cicada.

An original sculpture by Fernando Botero anchors the plaza, its iconic volumetric form introducing a sense of permanence and artistic gravity. Set against the lightness of glass and steel, the piece creates a compelling dialogue between art and architecture, inviting visitors to pause, gather, and engage within the civic space.

The Gentlemen, part of the Living World Series by Taiwanese sculptor Ju Ming, presents a series of minimalist bronze figures in motion, capturing the quiet rhythm and anonymity of modern city life.

The water feature was carefully studied through a physical model, allowing the precise articulation of steps, edges, and flow to be refined. This process translated seamlessly into the built work, where the clarity of form and detailing achieves a calm, elegant expression.

• Artist: Ju Ming (1938–2023)

Part of a highly successful collaboration with Hassell, the design draws inspiration from the form of a traditional Chinese fan—unfolding into a series of elegant, radiating terraces. At its heart, the sculpted lawn creates a calming, healing landscape and serves as a flexible, multi-purpose space for gatherings, events, and everyday use within the office environment.
