为建造一座完美的“建国先贤纪念园(Founders’ Memorial)”,2019年1月10日,主办方向全球建筑设计公司发出邀请,参与项目设计竞标。2019年11月1日,来自世界各地的193份设计申请,在历经两个阶段的激烈竞争后,主办方正式公布了最后入围的五强设计方案。8DGE创歆建筑+RSP联合团队,和业内大师隈研吾KKA、COX、DP、JPW四家国际知名建筑事务所一起,入围了全球五强。
On 10 Jan 2019, Singapore launches International Architectural Design Competition for Founders Memorial. The competition invites interested architects to submit design proposals for the Founders Memorial. Five designs for the Founders Memorial to honor Singapore’s pioneer leaders have been shortlisted by a jury – out of 193 submissions. The 5 designs have been unveiled to the public since Nov 01 2019. 8DGE+RSP is delighted to have been made one of the 5 shortlisted schemes alongside with KKA, COX, DP and JPW.随着“建国先贤纪念园(Founders’ Memorial)”入围设计5强的正式公布,近日新加坡诸多主流中英文媒体,如《海峡时报》、《联合早报》等也陆续发文,邀请新加坡市民以及全球民众共同参与入围设计五强的网络投票,以期增加互动,选出最符合民意的优胜者。与此同时,主办方也宣布了在参与投票之前,新加披民众可以先睹为快——入围的五个设计作品,将于2019年11月至12月为期两个月间,在全岛范围内进行公开展出。
8DGE创歆建筑,作为五强之一的设计事务所,其创始人陈敏英女士在接受《海峡时报》的采访时谈到: “我们希望通过8DGE创歆建筑的设计,使得建国先贤纪念园在其所在地——滨海湾地区,成为既富有表现力又极具思想内涵的存在。我们在建筑内部设计的参观旅程,一边面向沉思的内部空间,回首起点;一边向外遥望,把目光投向未来。”秉承建国先贤的价值观,在当今日益多样化发展的世界中,变得难能可贵。我们希望通过设计向世界展现:即使存在着分歧,依旧可以求同存异,可以在一个价值观下取得共同点立场。新加坡人民勤奋不懈,共同致力于建设一个和谐包容的大家庭,这将是我们年轻的国家在前进发展的道路中最珍贵的价值所在。With the unveiling of the 5 shortlisted designs on key media outlets such as The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao and Channel News Asia, the public are being offered a chance to help pick a design for the Founders Memorial, and shape Singapore’s skyline.
The designs will also be displayed at a roving exhibition and travel to various places in Singapore for 2 months from now till Dec 29th 2019. And the public get to vote online for a design that appeals most to them.
8DGE’s design featured a circular form that rises out of a landscape podium. “The architecture conveys both a contemplative yet expressive presence in the Bay East Garden of the Marina Bay area. We designed for a journey that not only looks inwards, a contemplative space where we ponder on our beginnings, but also outwards, where we set our sights upon the future.”
At present, it is more so precious to hold on to our values, and we demonstrate that common ground can be achieved despite differences, and we commit to building a home which values hard work, compassion and empathy.
遵循此设计理念,8DGE创歆建筑将“建国先贤纪念园”的接待区设计为一个开放的空间,各入口的访客均将被引导到纪念馆的中心区域——我们称之为“原点”,象征着不同种族、信仰、语言的人们,终究会回归到平等的起点。


作为一位地道的新加坡人,对于“建国先贤纪念园”的意义,陈敏英更是在设计中融入了她的独特理解:
“建国先贤为新加坡人民,在国内和国际上铺平了发展道路。因此,被设计成圆状的建筑,上升并向天空倾斜,就好像在擎领新加坡的未来腾飞。整个设计的点睛之笔是观景廊,在这里,新加坡的美景尽收眼底;在这里,我们回首过去、把握现在、展望未来。其看似不可能的悬浮形式,旨在激发战胜一切困难而奋力崛起的勇气。”The podium is an open space where visitors are channeled into the center. This is called the origin: a symbolic common space for everyone, regardless of race, language or religion.
“Rising above is the circle, representing harmony and inclusiveness. The circle tilts towards the sky, as if Singapore’s aspirations have taken flight, against all odds. The journey cumulates in the viewing gallery, where a panoramic view of Singapore’s skyline awaits, upon which we reflect on our past and embrace the future.”
