The new walkway is designed as a multisensorial ode to Sentosa’s flora and fauna.
SINGAPORE – Curious squirrels and peacocks have been sneaking peeks at Sentosa Sensoryscape ever since construction on the immersive pathway began four years ago.
The plan is to redevelop Sentosa and Pulau Brani as choice leisure and tourist destinations over the next decades.The island’s other attractions include Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the second Raffles Hotel in Singapore, which is opening in 2024; and The Palawan@Sentosa, a lifestyle and entertainment precinct by the Shangri-La Group, which opened in 2023.
The first two semi-enclosed spherical spaces showcase an array of textured and scented plants, while the third is an immersive sound experience with trickling water from blue-hued pods. The design for Sensoryscape seeks to strike a balance between nature and structure, and openness and closure, he says.
SDC’s Ms Chiong, one of the main team members overseeing the project, says the planning process for the Sensoryscape precinct started as early as 2014, since there was a strategic need to revitalise the central north-south precinct.
Founded in 1997 in Kyoto by chief executive Yoshiaki Sawabe, Japanese branding and creative studio 1-10 employs more than 100 designers and artists. Of these, 15 are working on the Sentosa Sensoryscape ImagiNite project. In Scented Sphere, where the scent of flowers is the distinctive feature, the light projection and AR content mainly feature butterflies, flower petals and pollen particles.
“While the Sensoryscape itself functions as public art, it also incorporates technical innovations that allow the two layers – the individual experience and the public experience – to cross over in the same environment,” says Mr Kitajima. At nightfall, the structure becomes a projection-mapping backdrop for a narrative about how light and fire sparked imagination in humanity’s predecessors in the forest.Light projections at Scented Sphere at Sentosa Sensoryscape.
