      Jewel Changi Airport documents the creation of a remarkable addition to one of the world s premier airports. The sinuous, faceted glass Jewel serves as Singapore s new gateway to the world, and redefines what an airport can be. Brimming with terraced plantings, lush valleys, floating bridges, art installations, shops, restaurants, and a central waterfall, Jewel is a new type of destination: part public garden and part shopping and entertainment complex. Through photos, drawings, ephemera, essays, and interviews, the book provides detailed insights on how the project came to be – from its bold vision and concep

      t to the innovative engineering, environmental, and construction strategies employed to make it a reality.
