The design concept originates from the idea of a path a journey tracing the legacy of Singapore’s founding leaders to honour the past and to inspire the present and future The design aims to be a living memorial, owned by each new generation of Singaporeans, with spaces for the celebration of milestone events and slopes that can be ascended, with a vision to the future the changing skyline of Singapore. There are multiple paths carved out of the architecture and landscape, representing Singapore’s multiculturalism and how it will continue to chart its future dynamically, and build it together with its people of diverse backgrounds and talents The seamless journey between the external landscape and the internal spaces invites Singaporeans to reflect, learn and share while contemplating the lush surroundings. The culmination of the multiple paths in the centre of the memorial represents the shared values and ideals that we stand for as a nation. “The Founders’ Memorial, a new kind of monument.” Kengo Kuma
