滨海湾花园是世界上此类花园中最大的项目之一。整座花园总面积为101公顷,包括三个风格各异的花园——滨海南花园、滨海东花园和滨海中花园。它位于新加坡滨海湾新兴商业区的填海土地上,其建成后给当地及世界各地的游客提供了一个独特的休闲场所。
关于滨海南花园
滨海南花园是滨海湾花园中最大的一个,占地 54 公顷,紧邻滨海湾金沙酒店。它由总部位于英国的景观设计公司——Grant 联合设计事务所设计,充满勃勃生机,利用大量的热带花卉和彩叶植物以及其他的一些要素来展示一流的热带园艺技术和造园艺术。它有着以下几大特色:
“擎天树”
概念
由 Grant 联合设计事务所设计的“擎天树”是一些 25-50 米(相当于 9-16 层楼房的高度)高度不等的垂直花园,其重点在于垂直展示热带攀援花卉、附生植物和蕨类植物。
“擎天树”总共有 18 棵,全部位于滨海南花园内,其中的 12 棵聚成“擎天树林”,而另外 6 棵则以每组 3 棵的形式分别立于入口广场旁和“蜻蜓湖”旁边。
由于在这块填海土地上建造花园的工期比较短,所以这些“擎天树”在结合成年树木的外形和功能的同时,很快就达到了一定的规模与体积。而且,它们的高度足以抗衡滨海湾地区当下与未来建筑的高度。
在白天,这些“擎天树”巨大的冠幅可以为人们遮阳挡雨。而到了夜晚,在由LPA设计的照明与投影系统的衬托下,则显出一派繁华。
Gardens by the Bay is one of the largest garden projects of its kind in the world. The
site is totally 101 hectares comprising three distinct gardens-Bay South, Bay East and
Bay Central. Located on reclaimed land in Singapore’s new downtown at Marina Bay,
the site provides a unique leisure destination for local and international visitors.
About Bay South
Bay South is the largest garden at Gardens by the Bay and it stands at 54 hectares
located next to the Marina Bay Sands. Master-planned by UK-based landscape
architecture firm Grant Associates, this lively and vibrant garden showcases the best
of tropical horticulture and garden artistry with a mass display of tropical flowers and
colored foliage and more. Key highlights are:
Supertrees
Concept
Designed by Grant Associates, Supertrees are unique vertical gardens ranging from
25 to 50m in height (equivalent to 9 to 16 storeys), with emphasis placed on the vertical
display of tropical flowering climbers, epiphytes and ferns.
There are a total of 18 Supertrees, all located within Bay South at Gardens by the Bay.
Out of the 18 Supertrees, 12 are situated in the Supertree Grove while the remaining
6 are placed in clusters of three near the Arrival Square and Dragonfly Lake .
Given the relatively short time span to create a garden from reclaimed land, the
Supertrees provide an immediate scale and dimension to the Gardens while marrying
the form and function of mature trees. They also create height to balance the current
and future tall developments in the Marina Bay area.
In the day the Supertrees’ large canopies provide shade and shelter. At night, the
Supertrees come alive with lighting and projected media created by Lighting Planners
