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.
Singapore's airport is a testament to what visionary leadership and engineering prowess can achieve. It's not just an airport; it's an experience that showcases the country's commitment to excellence and innovation. The Jewel is indeed breathtaking, but it's the seamless integration of functionality with aesthetic appeal that truly sets Changi apart. Proud to see such advancements in our global infrastructure!
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.
My connection with Changi goes back to 1962. My family lived in the RAF accommodation overlooking the airfield, which was a real joy for a, then, 9 yo boy. We lived there, Old Sarum Road, for 3 years. The expansion to a world class international airport has been quite amazing. Well done Singapore.
Jewel works as a destination for non-passengers because Singapore is so small some people just staying 10 mins drive away from the airport so it's just a nearby shopping mall for them
@@amazingstarzz You're giving us way too much credit lol. Don't think I've ever heard anyone butcher the name tbh...then again the yanks would somehow find a way to butcher it like 'Chan-Guy?' 😂
This strategy has worked for us. To keep us visiting Singapore. My family stops over for 12-18hrs in Singapore 4 times a year to spend time at jewel and shop at marina bay. There is a hotel in jewel on the top floor for a quick nap and refresh too it’s a lot of fun for a long day out.
Man... Singapore is such a beatiful place, and Changi is AMAZING I have never thought that an Airport could be this delightful and pleasing to the eye. Not for nothing has it won "Best Airport" in the world for like 10 years in a row before Doha took it in 2022 and 2024.
@@mhx47 They hosted the world cup in 2022, so in the build up to that I imagine there was an expansion/refurb. They've even got their own 'indoor tropical garden' which was nice, as it's actually in the airport itself
Been in 2019 and again recently in early November. It's seriously super impressive! If you have an extended layover, it's nice to sit there and just watch the waterfall. A meditative experience.
Last year, when I visited Singapore, I was very impressed by the Jewel, the Marina Bay Sands, and other things seen in this video but not even mentioned. I really loved Singapore!
Thank you for showcasing Singapore! I love visiting Changi Airport even though it's out of the way. It's a great airport, and I always enjoy my time there.
Just simply amazing ❗ I used to be one of those people that was just there for transit, occasionally popping into the city for a bit of a squiz ( travelling through there roughly 3 to 4 times a year) and seeing it now makes me want to go back to Changi... that architect plus the engineering involved is just mind blowing.... cheers to you B1M 🤟✨
I appreciate you raising awareness around mental health in construction. I'm not an engineer by trade nor in construction at all, but I do work in another high pressure field. It's always nice to see more emphasis placed on the psychological wellbeing of those in various industries. Keep it up B1M!
I always had high expectations for Singapore from all the things I had heard and seen. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to go there and I must say no camera can do it justice. If you are transiting, you are crazy to not spend at least a few days in the city.
@@Christhompson-e5d Lol! Qatar, cry foul that Changi copied its design and when the original Israelis architect Moshe Safdie asked from where did Qatar got the design from? Qatar quickly eat the humble pies. 😂
When my wife and I were travelling from India to Bali we made sure to book our flight in a way to get a good 5-6 hours layover at Changi. We even carried our Singapore visa to see this marvel.... And man the efforts were so worth it.... It was breathtaking... Felt like a futuristic city altogether. Changi airport is hands down a jewel of an airport. ❤
What a beautiful place and fantastic idea for an airport terminal! Moshe Safdie’s a legend. And to be honest I wasn’t aware up until now that he was still active and even alive! 😬
So happy to have it as my home airport. Apaer from being beautiful, convenient and clean it is also very efficient. Less than half a minute for residents to clear immigration.
I live ten mins from the jewel. Sometimes when I have nothing to do I just drive over to get a bubble tea and sit in front of the waterfall, within the trees.. To just chill
Please give full credit to the engineer. Maybe 80% to the engineer and 20% to the architect. Without the engineer architect can dream all they want and won’t happen.

visited Singapore in 2022 and actually took the time to go back to the airport to visit. Couldn't even imagine doing that in any other city except maybe Tokyo with Haneda airport
thanks for featuring Jewel Changi. i like to make excuses just to visit the mall there. to clarify, the Jewel is entirely landside, although people on the airside can take a skytrain that cuts through the middle to get a view of the oculus area. its very much intended as a space for locals as well as tourists who clear customs, and not really for transit passengers.
I’m always extremely happy when I can get a flight itinerary with a long layover in Singapore. Changi airport is massive and pleasant, with only a few dated walkways & a few 24 hr amenities: tremendously appreciated.
Fred, indeed this Jewel is insanely beautiful! There's another beautiful place also in Singapore. It's the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (Green & Healthy Hospital). Check it out if you didn't already. I have. Steve in Canada
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.
actually @TheB1M the Sri Lanka building was actually built in Singapore first by Safdie.... its Called Sky Habitat... it has 2 cantilever Swimming pools in the sky on bridges
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.
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
The Jewel is really beautiful to visit, but you have to go through immigration to spend time there. Surrounding the Jewel is a shopping mall with a different temperature zone than the junge climate zone in the center at the waterfall. But these two zones aren't physically separated. The warm air from the center keeps flowing into the mall. It seems like they're cooling like hell in the mall too keep it cool. It is a energetically nightmare 😂 10:28 AC vents below the benches? I'm wondering because it feels like the is no AC at the waterfall because it is as tropical warm inside as it is outside 🤔
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.
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.
I've been admiring Singapore's architecture for years but it was not until watching this video that I learned that Moshe Safdie had a career that stretched far beyond his Habitat 67.
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.
