These Photos Show Singapore is Already in Year 2050

With towering skyscrapers and futuristic buildings, Singapore features some of the world’s best architecture — making it an ideal breeding ground for talents in the industry. Already one of the best architectural cities in the world, Singapore's architecture scene is getting extremely exciting with innovative works over the years. 

Let's take a look at these buildings. A photographer named Kevin (@kevouthere) has uploaded shots of illuminating landmarks and out-of-this world buildings that make Singapore look like a city of the future. Let's say...in 2050.

Futurists say that cityscapes will blend nature and urban architecture but it’s already a reality in Singapore.

In contrast to the dense urban environment of skyscrapers and high-rise buildings in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay is part of the government's overall strategy to transform Singapore into a "City in a garden," -- and took just 4 years and $1 billion to create.

We love the vast expanse of green fields and we’re expecting to see them in more roofs soon like NTU’s School of Art, Design and Media (ADM).

The Tree House condominium in Bukit Panjang proves that the grass can also look greener on the outside of a towering residential building.

If the island looks like a futuristic cityscape in 2019 — we can’t wait to see how Singapore’s appearance will continue to evolve in 2050, 30 years from now.
