Roots – Founders Memorial

The land, which provides water and energy as the source of life for creatures and plants, has latent energy for the history and culture that Singaporeans have developed, and for nation building. The founders put down the roots of Singapore in this land, and this represented the way the country has grown strongly and will continue to do so. Even as time passes, the spirits of the founders and the history and culture that Singapore has nurtured will remain in memory, becoming the foundation for the lives of people in the future, and roots to strongly propel Singapore forward. The roots that rise up from the land represent the growth so far, and the strength to grow in future. This facade of mangrove-like roots represents the built-up passion of the Singaporeans, and their environmental connection, tied to the land.
