My Digital Vision of the upcoming National Gallery Singapore at City Hall...

It would be nice if the facade of the newly refurbished National Gallery at City Hall could be transformed into a resort style concept... The beautiful reflection of this classic architecture together with a picturesque landscape would be visually stunning befitting that of a national monument as a top tourism draw right in the heart of the city. At night it could be even more enchanting with animated lights & music to enhance the already awesome view.

City Hall will soon be Home of Visual Arts in 2015. That said, it should be presented differently by blending with the nature corridors of Singapore in contrast to just a stale concrete jungle... Could this be the icing on the cake for Singapore Tourism?

Judging by the hits and faves in comparison, it looks like the resort concept is a clear winner...
