Special Tour of The Tembusu
Date: 05 December 2016 (Monday)
Time: 4.30 pm
Venue: The Tembusu, 107 Tampines Road S535129
The Tembusu is a freehold development by Wing Tai. Inspired by the origin of the site as Wing Tai’s original garment factory, its architecture embodies the qualities of softness and layering. A total of 337 residential units are housed in 5 eighteen-storey blocks, each aligned to face the north and south direction to maximize solar experience and distant views for the units. The landscape is also an expression of the concept of tapestry and weaving in a celebration of nature and architecture.
Come join Professor Tommy Koh for a special tour of The Tembusu to learn about its architectural innovation. The tour will last 90 minutes, and includes a brief introduction of the development, a tree planting ceremony, and afternoon tea refreshments. Two-way chartered bus service will be provided and the bus will depart Tembusu College at 3.45pm sharp.
