Beyond the horizonality and verticality: An archaeology of complex contradiction

Site
Padang Singapore
Concept
The horizontal condition of Padang being a Ying force will begin to support the vertical elements which are the High Court and City Hall.
Horizontality of Padang gives the rise of the vertical buildings.
The complex contradictions to the existing of the horizontal and vertical: Beyond horizontal and vertical reality, which is hidden; and lies below.

A Rectilinear Icecube
. Gaps between waterfall for water to flow underground (with barriers).
. Cylindrical pipes install along borders and brim of the Ice cube, for water to fall smoothly.
. Skylights fill up the Rectilinear Ice cube supported by polished stainless steel columns.
. Water flows through and around the elevation of steel columns with an effect of a phenomenon transparency.
. Top of the rectilinear skylight; the floor of Padang field, made of glass becomes a platform for functionality.
