Jewel

By Ong Yan Xiang

Jewel is a world-class lifestyle and entertainment hub located at Singapore Changi Airport. Unveiled in April 2019, it resembles a colossal glass-and-steel toroid: sleek, futuristic, and elegant in form. Its curved facade, made up of thousands of triangular glass panels, glistens under the sun by day and glows softly by night like a giant crystalline jewel. Seamlessly integrated into the airport complex, Jewel’s bold silhouette stands out amidst the terminal buildings. It serves as a vibrant link between Changi Airport’s terminals, while enhancing Singapore’s reputation as a leading global travel hub. With its gleaming contours and modern symmetry, the structure is an iconic landmark of Singapore.
