This week's theme is chosen by Gordon.
Singapore is such a little country yet you'll be able to find something under constructions, whether it's a small project or a mega one like the Marina Bay Sands.
Marina Bay Sands Resort and Casino
29.11.08
Las Vegas Sands has committed to invest S$3.85 billion in the project, not including the fixed $1.2 billion cost of the 6,000,000 square feet (560,000 m2) site itself. The total cost of the development is placed at S$8.0 billion. In addition to the casino, other key components of the plan are three hotel towers with 2,600 rooms and suites, a 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) arts and sciences museum and a convention centre with 1,200,000 square feet (111,000 m2) of space, capable of accommodating over 52,000 people. The resort, inspired by card decks, was designed by Moshe Safdie. The company has promised to create 10,400 jobs for the project, 75 percent of them reserved for Singaporeans.
Marina Bay Sands 26.1.09
In front of the three towers will be a Theatre Block, a Convention and Exhibition Facilities Block, as well as the Casino Block, which will have up to 1 000 gaming tables and 1 400 slot machines. The Art-Science Museum will be constructed next to the three blocks and will have the shape of a lotus. Its roof will be retractable, providing a waterfall through the roof of collected rainwater when closed in the day and treating audiences to laser shows when opened at night. The Art-Science Museum will be ready by early-2010.

Brilliant photos but I like the children at the seaside the best. Have a very happy new year x
Wonderful photo of the girls at the beach. The hotel complex project is mind-boggling.
I think I must have a thing about cranes, I always love photos of them, especially when they sit on top of tall buildings. That is one big construction you have shown us, huh? Love the kids on the beach, too - a nice contrast.
Very interesting construction going on there. The kiddos are cute too. Nice post.

A hotel for 52,000 people? That's more than the population of my town!!! Happy New Year!
I think castles on the beach are about the limit of my construction skills.
And even then those tend to crumble!
Your Marina Bay project looks like it will last longer than my sand castles.
That first shot is amazing. Hope you have a fantastic New Year!
fantastic construction shots. love the one with the kids in the sand.
happy new year!!
Singapore is the cleanest and well developed country! I love to play that bricks I dunno what you call it.
WOWOWOWOW look at all of that!! Amazing!! Wonderful shots too!!
I think I do like the little hands and the children the best though. The very best kind of construction I think!! Don't you?? Happy New Year hon, Sarah
Great photos. That casino is awesome. We are going to Vegas for my birthday in March. Maybe if we win enough money (haha) we can visit your casino.
Happy New Year!
That place is going to be HUGE! Great pictures this week :)
What variety! Great post, from the greatest building to the most important on the beach.
I'm with you on the Rubik's cube, Jama. I gave up long ago trying to solve it. Maybe if I study your photos?
Wow, now THAT's a casino! Cool shots this week!
