41) We are non-ordinary buildings (Part 1)

Posted on December 14, 2012

If you stand at the direction of the Merlion, over looking Marina Square, while enjoying the seascape of this city.  You may spot an animal-form building in the concrete forest.  Have a second look and see if the building resembles certain animal?

That is Marina Mandarin!  A hotel building with an exterior resembles an elephant with two flapping ears, a lowered trunk and a wide face.  In “Feng Shui” philosophy, elephant signify peace, steadiness and good fortune.  By placing this architectural edifice just a distant from Marina Bay, and having the best view of the waters, it is by nature a good “Feng Shui”?  Stay tune for the next building!

Take a close-up look at this special building from the concrete forest.

This is an elephant from its own habitat, are they alike?
