Büro Ole Scheeren’ DUO Twin Towers project has been awarded CTBUH’s 2021 Urban Habitat Award, which acknowledges the design’s significant contribution to its urban context. Completed in 2018, the project restructures a previously disjointed and neglected part of Singapore, creating a dynamic place that enables social interaction. The award confirms the studio’s socially and environmentally responsible approach to design. New footage by photographer Iwan Baan captures the DUO’s silhouette and elevated landscape, hinting at the project’s careful consideration of its urban and civic context.
