About this audio guide
This guide to the Rain Vortex at Jewel Changi Airport traces architect Moshe Safdie's fascination with the lost Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and how that vision became a waterfall pouring through the heart of Changi's terminals. It follows the years-long engineering puzzle of building a glass-and-steel dome low enough to clear airport radar, and the thousands of uniquely shaped glass panels needed to pull it off. Stand on one of the surrounding walkways to take in the seven-storey forest garden ringing the dome.
