The Park Connector Network (PCN)
of Singapore is under the management of
National Parks Board (NParks).
NParks is also responsible for the management of over 300 parks
and the streetscape (or roadside greenery).

There is a hierarchy           anddiversity          of parks, ranging from
large regional parks to neighbourhood parks and playgrounds, where a
spectrum of natural ecosystems co-exists with horticultural gardens.
Nparks is also responsible for the design and implementation of
the   PCN, the network that connects these green spaces together
To ensure that all residents will have direct   and easy access to
green   open spaces and water fronts.

After     Before




By Atelier Dreiseitl Asia,
Opened March 2012                    After heavy rain
What
kind of
place is
this?
CPG Consultants
 Singapore (HQ)
• China
• India
• Vietnam
• Philippines
• Macau
• UAE


Opened on June 2010
“Shangri- La” meaning:
An imaginary remote paradise on earth; utopia.
A distant and secluded hideaway, usually of great beauty and peacefulness.




                                                           Shangri La Singapore
The design is a competition winning scheme and show case a good holistic
architecture. The hospital replaced a park, without loosing the green lung qualities,
and successfully became a center for the whole community.
Hospital staff is happy too…
Hospital as a community centre which attracts healthy people from the neighborhood,
to jog, eat, study, or simply enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
Hospital also promotes healthy life style.
Hospital as a community centre which takes
care of sick and healthy people as well.
Kindergarten for kids from the neighborhood.
Hospital as a community centre which invites hospital staff, patients and people from
the neighborhood, who don’t have a private garden, to do urban farming on it’s roofs.
Vision, Vision,
Vision…!

Targets should be
 Validated and Redefined,
If necessary,
And….
Mistakes can be rectified!

Hospital can become a
community centre for ALL,
and even a recreational place.
Thank You
