    Thanks for featuring Changi Airport, the pride of our country. Our first Prime Minister did not want it to be just a utilitarian infrastructure; he wanted it to be a gateway to showcase our country. The original Terminal One was impressive then. It had a 4-storey high waterfall greeting visitors, the architecture finishes were also grand, and visitors travelling along the main highway into the city will pass through a 16km tree-lined boulevard, finally breaking through the canopy onto a bridge offering panoramic views of the city centre. Such is the vision of our first Prime Minister and the team of bureaucrats, architects and engineers.
    Over the years, the airport has also stayed ahead of the game by always adopting the latest technologies. We are now one of the few airports in the world where one can exit the aircraft and exit the airport in less than 15min. Clearing immigration is already super fast; it takes less than 1 minute.

    Whilst The Jewel is located at Changi Airport, it is positioned entirely outside of the airport terminals. You cannot access The Jewel on foot unless you transit through immigration and enter Singapore OR use the T2-T4 terminal train which passes the waterfall inside The Jewel.
    Access to The Jewel is also FREE, but there is a ticket required to visit the sky garden and attractions on the top floor.
    I know this as I visited The Jewel on Saturday whilst travelling through Changi!

      Your information is partially correct. Jewel is designed so that as you exit T1 baggage collection you walk straight into Jewel level 1. Note you “left” immigration and technically not at airside of the airport. From other terminals simply take inter terminal trains and follow the signs to Jewel. Again you would have left immigration. Jewel is not designed to be an “in airport” place which is exactly what this video and the architect describes. For departing passengers, you can check in early at the Jewel, walk around, eat and sleep in a hotel if you like, before going to your immigration and departure gate as per normal. Try to arrive at least 4 hours ahead. There are lots to do and see.

    technically, the waterfall is just part of shopping mall NEXT to the airport. you'll need to exit the customs to enter, and most people who go there aren't actually flying

    I love how these types of videos always praise the engineering marvels without mentioning any of the engineers on the project. Architects don't make these things work.

    Informative video, but I just thought I should point out that Safdie didn''t have a radical thought. Changi Airport was a already a destination in itself for locals before the Jewel was built.

    AWESOME! Simply awesome!
    After seeing this, I wonder if anyone has considered building a new structure with a lot of these amazing features, but also adding some Ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian elements.
    Sometimes, what may seem to be a clash of architectural elements can actually be a genius confluence of different styles that when placed together create a greater whole.

    A brilliant idea to keep a captive audience and their wallet within the vicinity of the airport area. This way they give a glimpse of singapore to millions ofctransit tourists without clogging the streets of singapore. Singapore has turned into a massive disneyland.

    Designing the facade was also a marvel in itself. With the help of a clever modelling methodology, Arup helped realised the geometry required for the 9000 slabs of glass, no two of them alike due to differences in sizes, curvature and modulations.

    Jewel is basically a mall within the airport. It's pretty close to my home, a 20 mins drive and I frequently go there to catch a movie or dine at one of it's many eateries 🙂

    I would say that T5 is actually almost completed: land reclamation works were completed years ago, new MRT (Subway lines) are being built, water, power infrastructures are well under way. Building the actually airport facilities on top of all that will be relatively quick, unless another incredible piece of architecture is decided to be added. But that also shouldn’t take too much time. It cannot be tall (airport height restrictions) and there is nothing to displace to make room. So “easy”. I pass by the construction site(s) regularly and this is massive project.
