Research notes

Jewel’s glass enclosure is not documented as a single undifferentiated glazing product.

Vitro’s project account names Solarban 70 for the dome and Solarban 72 Starphire for linking bridges. It credits Safdie Architects and places the project at Singapore’s Changi Airport.

This is a useful way to read the building: the enclosing roof and pedestrian connections have distinct glass applications. Product names do not replace the engineered specification for each panel, and the bridge reference should not be extended to all of the dome.

What the sources do not establish
  • A full pane-by-pane glass schedule and build-ups are not supplied.
