Singapore Changi Airport, the seventh time in a row recognized as the best airport in the world, will be even better on April 17.2019! It will officially open the stunning creation of the famous architect Moshe Safdie, called Jevel - a jewel.

The new pavilion, Jewel Changi Airport, is five stories above and below ground. This is a shopping complex and a unique Forest Valley park with 2.500 trees and 10.000 plants from all over the world, hidden under a glass dome. There are no artificial plants here - everything is alive, real.

Located in the center of the dome, The Rain Vortex is the tallest waterfall in the world (indoors) at 40 meters. A water mist system is installed in the waterfall, and at night the waterfall turns into a musical and light attraction.

Skytrain tracks pass through the dome - trains that carry passengers between airport terminals.
In the park under a glass dome, it will be possible not only to walk, but also to climb the mesh structures stretched there Canopy Park - a great entertainment for children and adults.

The project was carried out in collaboration with renowned landscape architects PWP Landscape Architecture from California. Even before its official opening, Jewel Changi Airport has already received the first visitors.

A truly mesmerizing spectacle that has a mesmerizing effect. It seems to me that if you start meditating, looking for drops, you can miss your flight : )

"Brief Help":
The presented composition “Kinetic Rain” consists of two parts, each of which contains 608 raindrops, made of light aluminum and covered with copper.
The droplets, suspended on steel ropes opposite opposite escalators, move with programmed precision controlled by a computer hidden under the ceiling.
The composition plays a 15-minute choreography, where its two parts move in unison, then mirror, complement and respond to each other.
