It is said that Singapore has one of the most impressive skylines in the world, rivaling those of New York or Hong Kong. While I came to completely agree with this after a stroll through the financial district, I wondered whether there was another reason for building high.
I first noticed this skyscraper because I had never seen one with its windows open. Any air-conditioning inside was probably rendered useless (with an average 29 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity in summer, this is not a good idea), but the resulting pattern that broke the facade certainly looked liberating. Furthermore, in one of the top windows, someone had illegally hung some laundry outside to dry. Maybe after all, one does feel more free the closer one gets to the sky.
