SPARK’s award winning dramatic redevelopment of CapitaLand’s Clarke Quay, a historic riverfront district of Singapore has drawn tourists and locals to its unique blend of local culture and international lifestyle. The 90m S$ upgrade has increased commercial and leisure activities by over 500% making it one of the city’s top leisure landmarks. Clarke Quay consistently attracts over 2m visitors a year and is a major social and tourist component of brand Singapore. Crucial to its success is the ingenious moderation of the micro-climate through the design of sophisticated shading and cooling systems which reduce the ambient temperature by 4deg C while enhancing the quayside and streets with tremendous visual interest.
