The “Cool Dome” design

The “Cool Dome” design, submitted by the Singapore Sports Hub consortium, will be Singapore’s next iconic structure.

Singapore Sports Hub Group’s proposal

The Singapore government on Saturday revealed the consortium as its preferred bidder for the Singapore Sports Hub project.

The consortium beats two other bids.

The winning team’s strong programming line-up gave it the upper hand over their rivals.

These were the “Horse shoe shaped design” submitted by the Singapore Gold consortium and the “wrapped-Stadium design” submitted by the Alpine Mayreder.

The new sports hub will be completed by end 2011 and will cost some S$1.2 billion. - CNA/ir
