Arup Newsletter Issue 1 2011 MICA (P) 173/09/2010 Profile 01 | Singapore Sports Hub Kicking off Issue 1 2011 It’s been a while since our last Profile and no doubt we’ve been busy! Construction on Singapore Sports Hub’s new 55,000-seat stadium has kicked off and we’re extremely pleased to have completed the entire roof steelwork design using Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM has become the industry’s latest buzzword, following the launch of the Building Construction Authority’s (BCA) productivity roadmap which will see BIM submissions mandatory by 2015. To embrace BIM requires a paradigm shift and a willingness to change. We know what that change means, having used BIM since 2001. In this issue, we give you our thoughts on what BIM implementation entails and showcase some of the quality residential projects at Singapore’s prestigious new address – Sentosa Cove (centrefold). Lighting also shares the spotlight in this issue as our new lighting team has its sleeves rolled up on a variety of exciting projects around town. Last but not least, we’re happy to share a number of our significant wins this year including two packages for the Land Transport Authority’s Thomson Line, the Capitol Site redevelopment and the new Tanjong Pagar mixed development by GuocoLand. In addition, our Green Mark wins at this year’s BCA Awards reflect the great collaborative efforts we have been able to strike with many of our forward-thinking clients. Together, our future is in all of our hands. Let’s continue to be relentless in our pursuit of a sustainable future for the next generation and beyond.

The roof of Singapore’s iconic sports dome has been constructed using advanced parametric design software. To support the design process, Arup developed an in-house software specifically for the project which supports the seamless transfer of information from the venue designers to the engineer and ensures that the coordination of cladding and structure to the complex roof geometry can be fully resolved before steel fabrication begins. The design is supported by 70 Arup staff on-site, and the team has completed the design documentation for roof cladding tender documents and steelwork for the roof structure. The stadium features an energy-efficient spectator cooling system, and an innovative moving tier design that provides flexibility to accommodate a wide calendar of sporting events and the National Day Parade. Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 | 3 02 | Design Story Spicin’ it up with BIM BIM is a new way of collaborating and represents a major change for the construction industry. At its heart, BIM is about returning value to clients by removing the inherent waste from poor documentation, and a fragmented supply chain. It is about better outcomes. In April 2011, the Building Construction Authority (BCA) announced steps to increase productivity in the local construction industry. Its ‘Construction Productivity Roadmap’ includes a five-year plan for adopting Building Information Modelling (BIM) across the sector. By 2015, it will be mandatory for all architectural, structural, mechanical and engineering plans for building works to be submitted electronically via BIM for regulatory approval. Arup has been utilising this technology since 2001 and as a leader in this field, our aim is to utilise BIM on all our projects. We speak to Christopher Pynn, Regional BIM Leader on this spicy development. My mouth is on fire! In Singapore, chilli seems to be part of the staple diet. It accompanies anything and everything, from breakfast through to dinner, often masking the real flavour of the dish in the process. The same can be said for BIM. The industry has been preached to continuously for years on the benefits of BIM. Some water, please? If only I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard the question, ‘What is BIM?’ It appears to me that a haphazard understanding of BIM is costing the industry both in terms of cost and efficiency. What one person sees as an enormous benefit and huge potential, another sees as an unnecessary increase in risk or cost. However, I believe the answer is relatively simple: education and a well-defined scope. It’s really about beginning with the end in mind – what do we want to achieve? Whether you’re a consultant putting a proposal together, a member of a design team collaborating on a BIM project or a client setting goals for the project, it is essential that deep down, beneath all of the ‘BIM-wash’, the decisions that affect your business are based on sound guidance. Dr See Lin Ming BCA Construction Productivity Ambassador see.linming@arup.com Our industry bodies should not ignore the fact that the BIM community feels compelled to share knowledge, skills and viewpoints. Unless they make a move soon to include cross-discipline BIM consultants, managers and practitioners, they risk appearing dated. Associations have a role to play in defining scope, terms and delivery. How can we expect to compete with one another when we are faced with nonsensical or openended calls for BIM? On the other hand, our community must get our act together and work actively on educating clients about BIM. At Arup, we do this by customising a menu that whets and sustains our clients’ appetite. In other words, we help them understand what BIM means to their business and the level of service they should be paying for. “To embrace BIM requires a paradigm shift in the way we embark on projects but more importantly the way in which we think about a project. There is still a great amount of improvement that can be made within the industry through BIM and at Arup we see this as a great opportunity to help influence the industry. Change will come and at Arup, it is the way we work.” André Lovatt, Singapore Office Leader Our Menu BIM Smarts Deliver bespoke BIM Consult Workshop & report BIM Gains DESIGN Our Team Arup has professional members of the Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling, and I predict many more similar institutions shaping up in the near future.

Harnessing the Power of Technology Christopher Pynn Regional BIM Leader christopher.pynn@arup.com.au 4 | Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 Rupinder Wilkhu Singapore BIM Leader rupinder.wilkhu@arup.com Phil Lazarus BIM Consultant phil lazarus@arup.com Ken Roxas Building Group BIM Leader ken.roxas@arup.com Arup first saw the value of 3D whilst working on the NorthEast Line Project in 2001 where it was used to coordintate complex mechanical, electrical and plumbing services within the tight spaces of MRT railway stations. BIM was utilised in engineering the complex structure of Marina Bay Sands®’ ArtScience Museum within a relatively short time frame. A design as complex as this took three months what would have taken years if done using more traditional methods. Using our internally developed 3D software, Arup designed the curved Helix bridge entirely in a virtual environment with each steel member optimised for strength such that only a few different section sizes were used. 3D documentation used on Arup’s Sentosa Cove condominium projects (see centrefold) allowed a single designer to produce drawings that would ordinarily have required three people. Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 | 5 Arup’s island life on Sentosa Cove Si B Pa la w From a small fishing village to a military base in its early years, Sentosa has come a long way to become an island resort. Embracing the ever-changing lifestyles of Singaporeans and international visitors alike, the 500ha island offers an exciting range of things to do and sights to see. It is now home to Singapore’s largest integrated resort, Resorts World Sentosa and one of Asia’s most coveted luxurious residential development, Sentosa Cove – both of which Arup has had a role in. an B ea ch The Beaufort Singapore O Oc n Ta jo ng iv e Coral Island Treasure Island W Paradise Island 8 9 ay ac h Co Dr i ve Embraced by both the sea and golfing green, each of the 91 exclusive apartments combines a clean expression with distinctive maritime roof forms and 3m-long balconies that lend an aura of prestige. Arup designed the structural support beams for the large open balconies as a bold expression of the development’s simplistic yet dynamic architecture. y W ve ay Co 4 ve D r iv Co e The Beaufort Singapore (now known as Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa) Owner: Beaufort International Hotels (S) Pte Ltd Architect: Kerry Hill Scope: Civil & structural Cost: S$50 million Inspired by the colours and sights of a tropical island, the 49ha development features a stone-clad façade. As the appointed QP for Crockfords Tower, Hotel Michael and Festive Hotel and FestiveWalk, we provided design inputs and carried out overall site inspection to realise its architectural vision. We were also involved in the installation of the façades for these hotels. Sitting on a cliff-top, The Beaufort Singapore is a colonial-style resort hotel. As a reflection of its charming design, Arup developed a reinforced concrete solution for the hotel’s structure and private garden villas. A retaining wall stabilises a slope located at the back of the hotel, ensuring that guests can relax comfortably in its swimming pool. 6 Wa Sandy Island 4 5 ve 3 B n ea Turquoise Owner: Ho Bee Group Architect: RSP Architects Cost: S$45 million Scope: Civil & structural 2 e v o C a s o t n Se Inspired by Italian art and architecture, this rare collection of 18 exclusive waterfront villas is nestled in a lush rainforest setting, and punctuated by Claudio Silverstrin’s distinctive open topped narrow apertures and solid timber screens. Arup’s 3D visualisation enabled the team to create a deliberate continuity between the external and internal spaces through the villas’ tall monolithic facades which are entirely clad in stone. 5 Singapore Sentosa Contact: See Lin Ming / Mak Swee Chiang see.linming@arup.com / mak.swee-chiang@arup.com Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 | 7 Sandy Island Owner: YTL Corp Architect: Claudio Silverstrin / DP Architects Cost: Confidential Scope: Façade The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove Owner: City Developments Limited / TID Pte Ltd Architect: Wimberly Allison Tong / Goo Inc. Cost: Confidential Scope: Façade The Oceanfront is the tallest residence at Sentosa Cove. Each of its five towers is sheathed by a curvaceous nautical-themed curtain wall feature, reflecting the rich surrounding marine environment. To realise the design concept, Arup provided detailed 3D drawings of the tower crowns which were then used by the client and contractors to ascertain the glass and steelwork required. 7 The Coast Owner: Ho Bee Group Architect: Architects 61 Cost: S$100 million Scope: Civil & structural Situated on the longest coastal stretch of Sentosa Cove, The Coast comprises 249 apartment units, 41 private berths and features a three-storey high view corridor. Arup’s structural solution for this dramatic corridor not only supports the lavish apartments above, it offers residents unblocked views of both the panoramic vista of the South China Sea and the enchanting waterways of Sentosa Cove. 8 Paradise Island Owner: Ho Bee Group Architects: Axis Architects Planners / Maps Design Studio Cost: S$50 million Scope: Civil & structural Paradise Island features modern tropical styled villas, set in a lushly landscaped enclave. Besides individual private berths, each villa has a private driveway and a terrace that extends into a tropical landscape next to waterway. Arup worked closely with the client to ensure that each of the villas were customised to the taste of its homeowner. 7 Owner: Genting Singapore Public Limited Company Architect: DP Architects / Michael Graves & Associates Scope: Façade engineer for contractor Cost: S$1.1 billion 6 | Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 n Dr Be Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) – Crockfords Tower, Hotel Michael, Festive Hotel, and FestiveWalk n c ea Oc 1 A ea ONE° 15 Marina Club Sentosa Golf Club Tanjong Course At 20-storeys high, The Pinnacle Collection will be the tallest building within Sentosa Cove offering stunning panoramic vistas of the South China Sea, the Southern Islands, Tanjong Golf Course and the city skyline.

Advanced water quality studies using computer modeling were used to simulate water inflow and outflow along with indicators that measured variation of freshness. This enabled the optimal positioning of a network of sluices and water channels which together with flood mitigation measures, keep the waters in a state of high cleanliness. The project also include the construction of a bridge, the creation of a 4km canal wall, and a boat lock with associated gates and control building.

This was achieved by minimising the number of support beams in the basement car park by optimising the design for the first storey and re-designing the driveway. Marina Collections Owner: Lippo Marina Collection Pte Ltd Architect: Architects 61 Cost: S$126 million Scope: Civil & structural We had been working closely with Kim Seng Heng for many of the Sentosa Cove projects and having experienced the quality of Arup’s structural solutions, they turned to us to provide value engineering for this collection of 124 exclusive, spacious and utterly luxurious units and its 40 private berths.

Sentosa means peace and tranquility in the Malay language Lighting up a tropical metropolis and garden city With tastefulness and elegance as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s guiding posts, Singapore is beginning to light up in new ways like never before. For a country that is so used to fluorescent lighting as the de facto solution, good lighting is not just about flooding a building with light. It is also the creative use of colour, lights and shadows to create a visual spectacle. This is most obvious in the increased interest towards lighting façades which feature quite prominently among shopping complexes along Singapore’s Orchard Road. They are not just mere forms of illumination but also specific points of interest as demonstrated in Arup’s makeover design for the world-famous shopping belt. Like telling a story, light is also employed as an artistic component in architecture. The sphere-shaped award-winning Genexis Theatre 9 | Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 | 10 In the next five years and beyond, we will continue to look more closely at energy and materials conservation. A wonderful showcase is Greenpix, a ground-breaking project in Beijing that is designed to harvest solar energy by day for use in its lighting shows, and any excess energy is channelled back to the power grid. Award-winning designers At Arup, lighting is an integral and important element of intelligent building design, as well as a specialty field on its own. Singapore’s lighting team is part of a global network of 11 lighting offices and with more than 60 designers specialising in natural light, fixture design, brand identity, lighting engineering and the artistry of light, we are able to harness some of the best solutions for our projects and give them the spotlight they deserve. © Natoma Architects 2 © Arup / Clive Lewis 3 6 5 © Arup / Randy Olaes Oc Dr Contact: Key Anderson key.anderson@arup.com © Arup / Christopher Dales O n c ea Cleverly enough, lighting is not about making it brighter. It can be difficult for the human eye to adapt to different levels and colours of lighting all at the same time. For this reason, the lighting design for the Marina Bay Promenade is a subtle low glare solution. Set as a primary location for viewing the city at night, the paths of light create a soft canvas for the accent lighting features within the impressive streetscape (Singapore Profile 2010 Issue 2). 1 4 8 7 © Arup / Key Anderson Serapong Lake makes a bold statement with its eye-catching array of dynamic LED luminaries accenting its unique form. Second to none, The Helix’s colourchanging LED strands which takes its inspiration from the DNA sequence, provides an intriguing experience around Marina Bay. 9 © Arup / Mac Tan Like the world-renowned places in France and Australia, it is close to natural water and resort facilities and will have an estimated 2,100 luxurious waterfront homes by 2014. The city’s tropical climate has much to contribute to the significance of lighting design. Darkness here is not associated with the cold, as is the case in many northern countries and being outside after sunset is an important part of the urban social culture. Hence the relevance and impact of artificial lighting is significant, and a vital part in enabling life after dark. © John Gollings Photography Created under the Sentosa Cove Southern Island Development master plan, the original master plan was developed by French architect Bernard Spoerry with McKerrell Lynch Architects from Australia; and Klages Carter & Vail from the United States who were later brought in to enhance the concept. Putting Singapore in the Global Spotlight © Bjorn Moerman Sentosa Cove is Singapore version’s of a world-class waterfront and resort-style mixed development matching the likes of Port-Grimaud in France and Hope Island in Gold Coast Australia. It covers an area of 117ha made up mostly of reclaimed land, and includes five artificial islands called Coral Island, Paradise Island, Treasure Island, Sandy Island and Pearl Island. Light is the source of everything on earth. In skilled hands, lighting becomes the fourth dimension of architecture, by directing and sculpting light to create a comfortable, safe and inspiring environment. © Simone Giostra & Partners / Zhou Ruogu Architecture Photography Singapore’s Prestigious New Address 1. The largest zero-energy LED display in the world, West Beijing’s Greenpix Media Wall is a triumph of energy-efficient lighting design. 2.Tampa Museum of Art’s façade is reminiscent of the stage of a drive-in movie theatre which transformed this vast night time dead space into one that would connect people to the building. 3.The Beijing National Stadium’s lighting is akin to a Chinese lantern, with a stunning result of the national icon glowing from within. 4.As a testament to Louis Vuitton’s classic elegance, interior and façade lighting schemes in their stores worldwide have been greatly simplified through the use of a ‘kit-of-parts’ that provided dramatic savings on energy cost and fit-out time. 5.One of the first custom media façades of its kind, Galleria was the creation of Arup and UNStudio, and was once again back on the map of Seoul’s most fashionable district when it opened in 2004. 6.The emphasis for lighting Singapore’s Genexis Theatre lies at the centralised theatre sphere which pulsates like a brain processing data. 7. YAS Marina Hotel in Abu Dhabi was the iconic centerpiece at the 2009 F1 with a formula one design vocabulary such as double curved surfaces, aluminum details, shiny reflections and motorised dynamics. 8.The California Academy of Sciences’ immersive environment preserves a slice of ecology within its building form and showcases the coordination of artificial light and daylight. 9. The Helix in Singapore draws its lighting inspiration from the DNA sequence and makes for an intriguing experience across the bridge. Singapore Profile Issue 1 2011 | 11 05 | Cool Stuff You Didn’t Know Arup Does 06 | Arup News/Events GIS - A Ticket to Ride with Thomson Line Marina Bay Sands® – A Timeless Tale At the British Chamber of Commerce’s 2010 Awards Gala Dinner, Russell Cole, Principal and Singapore Building Group Leader, had the privilege of addressing the audience and giving a short presentation on Arup’s journey to Marina Bay Sands®. Graced by Singapore Minister, S. Iswaran, the event was held at the Shangri-La Hotel and was well-attended by members of Singapore’s business community. Project Dates: 2011 – 2018 Arup scope: Infrastructure, geotechnics Arup awarded two design packages for Thomson Line, Singapore Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has appointed Arup to provide design and construction consultancy for two out of five design packages for Thomson Line – Singapore’s sixth Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line that will double the country’s mass rapid transport network by 2020. Thomson Line will connect Marina Bay through the central business district to the northern tip of Singapore. The first package awarded to Arup includes three stations. The second package includes six stations. All onboard with GIS! The Thomson line will be the first ever large-scale project in Singapore to utilise Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. GIS provides tools for interacting with data using its real-world location. The result is a visual and interactive representation of the Thomson Line project that provides instant accessibility to the multidisciplinary project team via a secure web portal. Different access levels are granted across the project, allowing key decision-makers to retrieve relevant information, while confidential data remains hidden from low-level users, ensuring client confidentiality where necessary.

Moving up the Green Chart New building design and construction have rapidly evolved in response to carbon issues and the growing public environmental consciousness. Recognising the situation, the Building Construction Authority (BCA) launched Green Mark Singapore’s first green building rating system in 2005 and has set out for 80% of the city’s building stock to achieve a Green Mark rating by 2030. According to Arup’s estimates, about 6,500 buildings in Singapore will require retrofitting over the next 20 years. Since 2005, Arup has worked on a range of chart-topping projects which incorporate innovative design features and the efficient use of key resources such as energy and water. Our work was further recognised with several Green Mark wins at the recent BCA Awards in May 2011.
