Gardens by the Bay is a marvel of modern engineering, with its iconic Supertrees and impressive conservatories. In this episode of How Did They Build That? engineering documentary, the construction and engineering processes behind this world-famous attraction are explored.
The construction of the Supertrees involved the use of steel frames, with planting panels and irrigation systems integrated to support the growth of a variety of plants. The conservatories, on the other hand, were built using a combination of steel, glass, and other sustainable materials to create the desired environmental conditions for the diverse plant life within.
The engineering and construction teams faced challenges such as creating sustainable structures, managing weight and wind resistance, and ensuring the growth of plants in the unique environments of the Supertrees and conservatories.
Conclusion
The development of Gardens by the Bay showcases the innovative and sustainable engineering practices used to create a world-class horticultural attraction.

I've lived in Singapore for half a year for a university program and can truly say that Gardens by the Bay was by far one of my favourite places. The outside area is free to access and people come there to have picnics, to relax and destress, and it's so peaceful (if you can ignore the people around you or are lucky to go there on a 'slow' day 😅). I've been to the domes maybe 3 times, each, and went up the super trees with some visiting friends – not the cheapest experience, but definitely worth the money, and the domes are also oddly relaxing and serene despite the many visitors. Would love to go back some day.
amazing video. i do love this kind of architecture documentary
❤
And why do our cities in America look like they do?
Too many people keeping the money… smh
Very interesting – AMAZING
It again shows the ability of the architects working in a "wider team".
As well it shows the ability of the technicans and engineers to realize "any" thought of architects and to realize "any" need in construction.
Here I ask to pay attention to the real need in life.
Does it make sense to build
"houses and other structures"
in areas where obvious limitations are already exist and will increase in future ?
SAFETY -QUALITY
The SAFETY and the quality of the structures have to be ensured.
The quality control has to cover the process from raw material, f.e.
"melting the steel" , marking, welding, drilling, carrying out corrections, primer, coating, painting, transportation, storing, installation, adjusting, finishing, maintenance, monitoring etc.
The delivery chain did increase and the number of companies, number of countries, number of regulations, number of SAFETY standards, number of people, number of cultures, number of languages etc. did increase.
The durability, "lifespan" of today's structures are mentioned up to
120 years.
THIS IS POSSIBLE,
but
NOT
with "common daily practices."
Here for RELIABILITY is required from everybody involved in the project, from CEO to the unskilled daily worker,
INCLUDING
SAFETY- and QUALITY CONTROL department-employees.
EVIDENCE of QUALITY
Just providing "computer documents"
does
NOT ensure and does
NOT prove
the fulfillment of the requirements.
All SAFETY related issues, precautions, accidents, daily working hours, total working hours I kindly ask you to provide in this kind of informations.
I am very interested about the data of the buildings regarding future experiences related to maintenance.
Personal and unlimited responsibility of any person/company related to projects, starting from CEO all the way down to the unskilled daily worker, need to be ensured in order to achieve most possible safe and most economical conditions for all related parties.
Here, for a daily work of about
08 to 10 hours the salary need to ensure to pay ALL
the expenses, including health care, retirement, school for all family members.
THANK YOU
If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Singapore. You really must go, it's spectacular
