Read this from a forum on an article based on 10 singapore architects.
"For instance, in Singapore you can use timber and stone for complex decorative screens that require intensive labour to assemble. You can design handrails using on-site stainless steel welding, or make details that use several different trades - metal, stone and glass. These would be impossible to build in Australia or Europe, for instance, due to the labour costs and rigid separation of trades and warranties. We are designing an apartment building in Sydney and it is quite impossible to do anything there with any kind of significant labour component or mixing different trades. "
On site stainless steel welding brings to mind the curvilinear handrails of hortpark by MKPL. Perhaps this is why it was possible.
