Architecture
The architecture of The Gateway has been described as "world class" by the National Library Board. The buildings were designed by the U.S.-based architect, I. M. Pei.{{cite web | title=Projects | url=http://www.pcf-p.com/a/i/#g | publisher=Pei Cobb Freed & Partners | year=2011 | accessdate=18 February 2011 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315220319/http://www.pcf-p.com/a/i/#g | archivedate=15 March 2015 }} The local Singaporean architectural firm that worked on this project was Chua Ka Seng and Partners Chartered Architects (CKSP).{{cite web | title=Selected Works: Commercial | url=http://www.cksp.com/projects/index.html | publisher=Chua Ka Seng & Partners Chartered Architects | year=2011 | accessdate=18 February 2011 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110413161814/http://www.cksp.com/projects/index.html | archivedate=13 April 2011 }} T.Y. Lin Structural Engineers from San Francisco also collaborated on the project.
The shape of the buildings is trapezoidal, which is similar to the form used by I. M. Pei in the critically acclaimed National Gallery of Art East Building in Washington, D.C.
