World building of the year = The Interlace in Singapore [View all]

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/06/architecture/waf-world-architecture-festival-2015/index.html

The Interlace
In Singapore, a large-scale residential development designed by OMA/Ole Scheeren, is an extensive network of private and shared spaces in radical reinterpretation of contemporary life in a community.

By stacking the apartment blocks, the design generates a multiplication of horizontal surfaces populated by extensive roof gardens and landscaped terraces that in aggregate provide 112% green area – more than the size of the unbuilt site.
