Gardens by the Bay is a park of 101 acres of surface hardened (about 250 acres or 1.01 km ² ) located in the center of Singapore, adjacent to the artificial lake Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three parks that overlook the water Bay South Garden, Garden Bay East and Bay Central Garden. The Gardens by the Bay 18 artificial, so-called "super tree" rise, they are 25 to 50 feet high, eleven of them solar- equipped. Some trees in greenhouses ventilation channel function, or rain water collected. Two super tree skywalk bridge called up the subject. Vines cling to the trees. In the garden, two greenhouses all over the world gathered plants, a total of 220,000 copies can be viewed in a variety of species for the ideal temperature and humidity controls the greenhouse automatic manner. Singapore a leading global city of the 21st century, the 101-acre park includes a futuristic bunch of huge metal trees (Super Tree grove '), an architecturally landscaped park two large greenhouses (biomes). It is adjacent to Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Orchid Garden, the third Singapore Botanic Gardens. In January 2006 an international master plan design competition was held. It attracted more than 70 entries submitted by 170 companies from more than 24 countries, including 35 from Singapore. In September 2006, the British firms Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter received the award, each part of the Gardens. In November 2007 began the development. In October 2011, the Gardens by the Bay was officially opened to the public. The concept of Gardens by the Bay is based on the principles of environmental sustainability. There is a lot of effort into the design of sustainable energy and water cycles. Gardens by the Bay consists of a freely accessible very modern park and a number of facilities for which an entrance fee. In the eye-catching addition to the metal trees, two glasses biomes. The metal trees - super trees - are tree-like structures that dominate the landscape of the Gardens with altitudes ranging between 25 meters and 50 meters. These are vertical gardens with a multitude of functions such as providing shade and act as environmental engines for the gardens are to perform. The super trees are home to unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and an extensive collection of bromeliads, such as Tillandsia. They are also equipped with environmentally friendly technologies that mimic ecological function of trees: Photosynthesis - solar cells that generate energy for some of the functions of the Super Trees, such as lighting; Absorb rainwater - and collect rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain displays, the Super Trees also serve air intake and exhaust functions as part of the cooling conservatories. One biome gives a picture of the cooling-dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid subtropical regions. The other gives an impression of cool-humid climate of a tropical montane area. They accommodate both a diverse collection of plants that is not often seen in the humid tropics where Singapore is located. Use is made of many different levels and very modern architecture. The greenhouses are equipped with renewable energy efficient cooling solutions and achieve at least 30% energy savings compared to conventional cooling techniques. The two greenhouses are equipped with specially selected glass that best gives light to the plants, but the radiant heat largely holds. The roof is equipped with folding sails that automatically open to give to the plants if it gets too hot. Only the lower parts of the greenhouses are cooled. This is achieved by means of thermal stratification. Pumped groundwater cooling pipes in the floor slabs. Warm air rises and is discharged at a high level. In order to reduce the amount of energy that is required in the cooling process, the air in the greenhouse with the Mediterranean climate dehumidified before it is cooled. The drying agent used for that purpose, is recycled by means of the waste heat from the combustion of the biomass. Electricity for cooling is generated on the premises. At the same time, waste heat absorbed by which the desiccant is regenerated. It uses a special steam turbine fed by horticultural waste from gardens and other parks in Singapore.
