gardens

Modern Singapore is a city of concrete, glass, freeways and shopping centres.This city state is one of the Asia’s four “dragons”- the Asian economic boom coutries. The fact that so many western expats live and work in Singapore, lies exactly in its thriving economy, altough the place itself is really nothing special and the main interest for the population is usually (and simply) taking rest from the hustle bustle of everyday life as soon as possible. As an architect I have been frantically working in Singapore for several months and got damn bored in the week ends. On these occasions the best thing that ever happened to me, was visiting the city’s parks; among them is the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a botanical institution, a tourist attraction, a popular place with photographers, with its unique collection of orchids and a beautiful lotus lake…
While sitting and contemplating by the lake, Japanese poet Yugen’s haiku ironically resounded in my mind:
“Ah! If one could but make a clear and flowing river of this stagnant lotus lake!”
