What inspired you to come up with the idea for this image?

The concept of "Future Tapestry: The Singapore Story" draws inspiration from Singapore’s continuous innovation in urban planning and sustainability efforts towards biodiversity preservation. The goal was to depict a futuristic Singapore that balances technology with nature.

What role can you or your agency play to make this vision a reality?

My role is to provide creative visualisations and conceptual ideas that can inspire educators to envision a sustainable and inclusive future for Singapore. By leveraging AI and design thinking, I hope to translate abstract concepts into tangible imagery that spark discussions and innovation both inside and outside the classroom.

How long did it take for you to generate this image?

The image was generated within minutes using AI, but the process involved careful refinement of prompts and adjustments.

Could you share three AI prompting tips that helped you with generating this image?

Firstly, I had to be specific and clear with the description of the scene, including architectural styles, technology, and environmental elements. Then, I included words like “futuristic,” “sustainable,” “green architecture”, and “cultural heritage”. Finally, I used prompts that refined the image output to ensure that it was characteristic of the landscape in Singapore. This included the use of prompts such as “Show contemporary architecture in Singapore with elements of its future in 10 years’ time”.

Thank you for inspiring us with your vision of Singapore’s future, Hemalatha. You win a Seek Sophie e-gift card worth $100 to celebrate SG60 with your family and friends. Congratulations!
