Crossing Ripples
The design is composed of crossing walls that bridges activity, time and differences.
A wall can be used to obstruct or divide, but it can also be used to guide or direct, to encourage movement, progress or development.
The Kings of Freedom is the source of the ripple, where its insertion sparks an artistic, communal or even a touristic development and provides a platform where the barriers created by these different users are crossed.
Like the reservoir which serves as a major storm water runoff collection from eight different stations around the east, the walls serves to congregate the different users of the park and give them their respective sense of place.
These crossing walls guide the different users of the park (joggers, art patrons, families, strollers, sea sports enthusiast, students, residents, cyclist, in-line skatist, fishing) to their respective communal zones and activity zones and at the same time purposefully encourage meetings and interactions by the intersection of their paths
This symphony of different walls intensifies the passage of time, crossing from the current into the past and future. In the process, the walls create an undulating landscape for the park, taking the form of ripples emanating from the Bedok Reservoir.
