Singaporean design firm Design Act created the 'My Dream, Our Vision' concept for the World Expo 2010 Singapore Pavilion Competition. Just like a pixelated cloud, the design team used permutated cubes to generate a unique structural building that looks like a 'digital cloud' hovering a changing landscape. It was designed to portray Singapore as the ideal place that can transform the lives of everyone.
The proposed pavilion design is made of 3,866 cubes of modular sizes with varying levels of transparency. The structure is strategically sloped at the base to allow visitors to experience the ritual of making their dreams becoming a reality. When visitors enter the dark underground space, sounds are played that alludes to the background services which serve the city and catapults them into the bright and white digital cloud, where they are encouraged to post their dreams.
It will contain eight separate chambers of experience, all of which converge to allow the narrative of the Singapore Story to come alive:
- The Tunnel – in a journey through the city's hidden side
- The Dream Maker – collective dream-making
- Transition through Cloud – and through a sequence of collected dreams
- Dream Register – multi-media/sensory interpretation of Singaporean’s dreams
- Wishing Tunnel – visitors share their dreams with the world
- Dream-harvester – a digital rain experience
- Space Warper – disorientates to transit between dream and reality
- Green Pasture – the green pasture
The concept is an organic, living city made alive by its inhabitants where it is the cumulative product of the soul, spirit and experience of its every single person. Singapore is portrayed as a city of possibilities where it is an extended identity of the collective aspirations, memories, and dreams of all who live, work and play in it.
