W.I.A? The Dome win over the toilet bowl.
Bitched on: Friday, January 25, 2008
Time: 1/25/2008 05:02:00 PM
I made an error last year when I said that this was the design for the new National Stadium in Singapore:
 This design stirred quite a bit of controversy. I thought nothing of it until you see the aerial view of the design. Just imagine some stools (and I don't mean the kind you sit on) floating around... To make it worst, you can actually 'flush' the field with water to have any water sports played in the same stadium.
First durians, now this? Well, you could always look at it this way, after having some durians, you need to visit the toilet, right?
But jokes aside, it didn't win the judges and the public over. Neither did this: You can view all three entries here.
So the winning entry is (*drumrolls*)... this one:
 Introducing your new National Stadium, Singapore. The Cool Dome.
 At least thats what people are calling it...
Its... ermm... a cool name. Well I think we should lose the 'cool', sounds like we're trying too hard. Just call it the Dome.
The "Cool Dome" design, submitted by the Singapore Sports Hub consortium, will be Singapore's next iconic structure.
The Singapore government on Saturday revealed the consortium as its preferred bidder for the Singapore Sports Hub project.
The consortium beats two other bids.
These were the "Horse shoe shaped design" submitted by the Singapore Gold consortium and the "wrapped-Stadium design" submitted by the Alpine Mayreder.
The new sports hub will be completed by end 2011 and will cost some S$1.2 billion.
 The integrated complex includes a 55,000-seat capacity stadium with a retractable roof, an aquatic centre, multi-purpose arena and retail space.
In sunny Singapore, the "dome" will allow plenty of ventilation and help bring the temperature down along with spot cooling for the seats.

It also aims to incorporate the nearby Indoor Stadium into its long list of activities.
I'm convinced already. This dome will become a unique icon for Singapore.
 Oops.. that's a stadium in Malaysia... I meant to show this:
