==Design and development==
Jewel's toroidal glass-and-steel façade was designed by a consortium of architects, led by [[Moshe Safdie]],<ref name="TODAYonline" /> who also designed Singapore's [[Marina Bay Sands]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/06/moshe-safdie-architecture-of-today-bilbao-effect|title=Architect Moshe Safdie on the "Bilbao Effect"|last=Heilpern|first=John|magazine=Vanity Fair|access-date=2018-01-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160414083814/https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/06/moshe-safdie-architecture-of-today-bilbao-effect|archive-date=2016-04-14|url-status=live}}</ref> Renowned local firm [[RSP Architects Planners & Engineers]] were the executive architect and structural engineers.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.rsp.com.sg/home|title=RSP Architects Planners & Engineers|work=RSP|access-date=2019-04-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417032534/http://www.rsp.com.sg/home|archive-date=2019-04-17|url-status=live}}</ref> The landscape architect was [[Peter Walker (landscape architect)|Peter Walker and Partners]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pwpla.com/projects/jewel-changi-airport|title=Jewel Changi Airport &#124;{{pipe}} PWP Landscape Architecture|website=www.pwpla.com|access-date=2018-04-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418092813/http://www.pwpla.com/projects/jewel-changi-airport|archive-date=2018-04-18|url-status=live}}</ref> who co-designed the [[National 9/11 Memorial]] in New York City, and worked with Safdie on the landscaping of Marina Bay Sands.

Jewel was envisioned to combine a marketplace and an urban park. "The component of the traditional mall is combined with the experience of nature, culture, education and recreation, aiming to provide an uplifting experience. By drawing both visitors and local residents alike, we aim to create a place where the people of Singapore interact with the people of the world," said Safdie.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.dezeen.com/2014/12/05/moshe-safdie-huge-greenhouse-singapore-changi-airport/|title=Safdie reveals greenhouse for Singapore's Changi airport|date=2014-12-05|work=Dezeen|access-date=2018-01-09|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170703022726/https://www.dezeen.com/2014/12/05/moshe-safdie-huge-greenhouse-singapore-changi-airport/|archive-date=2017-07-03|url-status=live}}</ref>

To prevent excess humidity in the Jewel, the waterfall's flow alternates between cascades and trickles that reduce air turbulence.
