A series of mobile dwelling units empower this new way of living; ‘Floating House’, ‘Flying House’, ‘Suitcase House’, ‘Bicycle House’ and ‘Train House’. Each deals with a different transportation type and cultural issue faced by the specific community such as performance, healthcare, gastronomy, and sanitation. Presented as an assemblage, the house experiments with interaction and communication across different cultures. The design research concludes that specialised study into each culture produced a segregated architecture, opposed to the integration objectives.

This project uses social research to understand the different daily practices of each cultural group as the design methodology. The original hypothesis is that trends for nomadic living will continue to increase, based on observations from past and current events such as industrialisation and globalisation forcing people to become more mobile. The Malay people can be traced to the Austronesian region; Chinese and Indian populations were introduced during the colonial era, whilst the Bornean tribe and indigenous people are constantly moving through remote places in a similar nomadic pattern to contemporary mobile lifestyle.

The Sea Nomad Fish Market
Drying tower
The proposal is focused towards the simple life of the Sea Nomads from the Bajau Laut tribe in Borneo, Malaysia. Living in the outcast disconnects them from the real world but contrarily giving them a strong link to the sea. It is their home, playground and a primary source for food and earnings thus a fish market is seen as an appropriate program for the community. Three traditional methods of preserving the fish which are drying, pickling and smoking are introduced as life scale prototypes augmented with modern technology and scientific approach. The design is sited in Semporna, a small fisherman town which is also the venue for the annual Regatta Lepa festival. It has been celebrated annually as a tradition to appreciate the unique culture of the tribe. During the festival, the purpose of the buildings will be partially converted to accommodate the high capacity of the tourist coming from local and abroad. The features from the Lepa boats such as the sails, the umbrellas and the flags will be recycled as building materials after the festival ended. The general design agenda is to provide a better understanding of their unique lifestyle to the local people and foreign tourist while providing a base to generate a source of earnings. The design is also aimed to provide a proper infrastructure to facilitate the visitors for the annual Regatta Lepa festival.

A Home in Transit: Constructing architecture of dwelling in nomadic community and mobile society Thesis Tutor Dr. Tania Sengupta
Abstract The thesis is a cross-disciplinary study of architecture and anthropology, aims to search for an alternative meaning of a house and the sense of home while in transit. The notion of ‘nomad’, ‘trace’ and ‘hybridity’ are three significant theoretical concepts that represent the philosophical basis of the study. Lifestyle as a nomad exposes people to continuous adjustment of material and immaterial experiences which exist in the form of ‘trace’ drawn both from past and present lives, forcing them to negotiate resulting in a hybrid living pattern and habitat. An anthropological case study is chosen to demonstrate the evidence of such concepts. The Penan tribe of Malaysia is seen to be a good model because they are among the few groups still practicing a nomadic life, preserved in a traditional form with only few modifications in behavior, employment, foodstuff and dwelling. Analyses from such anthropological studies reveal useful strategies – such as ‘grafting’, ‘infill’ and ‘collage’ – that could be adapted into architecture. ‘Grafting’ suggests how different ‘traces’ can be infused together. ‘Infill’ is the insertion of a new intervention into an existing context. ‘Collage’ proposes different elements to co-exist creating a bigger ecology. Finally, applications of the strategies are demonstrated through certain contemporary architectural case studies such as Teddy Cruz’s ‘grafting’ between locality and migration in Mexico and Atelier Bow-wow’s ‘infill’ in the dense metropolis of Tokyo. The strengths and weaknesses of each case will be identified for their potential role in future directions in architecture of transience. Research Questions How is the notion of home shaped in transit? What constitutes a ‘nomad’ and how do they re-configure ‘traces’ into ‘hybrid’ material forms? Why is ‘nomadism’ as a lifestyle still relevant? What are the spatial and architectural tactics can nomadic practice suggest? Have such strategies been utilised in contemporary architectural practice, if so, what are the architectural methods? Chapter 1: the Notion of ‘Nomad’, ‘Trace’ and ‘Hybrid’ This chapter looks at literature representing each strand of the theoretical triad. Despite their diverse contexts and time period, there are interesting linkages that connect these theories. The straightforward relationship between the triad could be described as: ‘nomad’ is the ‘actor’ whose main action is to do nomadic pilgrimage, while ‘trace’ is akin to the ‘character’ played by or qualities of the actor and ‘hybrid’ is their contextual ‘reaction’ or response every now and then. In an analogous means, like the ‘actor’, the nomad must always be prepared to play different characters and be flexible in manipulating different ‘traces’. On the other hand, unlike the ‘actor’ guided by the director, the nomad largely governs their own pilgrimage. This section will look at each theory in sequence which provides the framework for the anthropological case study in the third chapters. Chapter 3: Case Studies of Contemporary Implementation of Architecture of Transience Translation: Abstract Operations to Tactical Strategies –‘Grafting’, ‘Infill’ and ‘Collage’ Abstract concepts such as ‘nomadism’, ‘trace’ and ‘hybridity’ are translated into material architectural propositions by mobile communities such as the Penan through certain architectonic strategies. Some of these key tactics employed to simultaneously cope with the state of being in transition and creating a sense of home, I argue, are ‘grafting’, ‘infill’ and ‘collage’ which, in effect, are ways of working with multiple traces to create dynamic and hybrid forms. Grafting’ as a strategy refers to two or more fragments being unified in a way that one is crafted and moulded into another, but the resultant retains traces from both. The key point for second strategy ‘infill’ is intimate relationship to the context whereby the new intervention inserts itself within the crevices and gaps of existing environments. The demand for this strategy is often mandated by the high density of a territory. It often works to either blend or juxtapose with the adjacent surrounding. The third strategy ‘collage’ is a mix of multiple elements to form a bigger ecology. Every constituent element usually has dual roles, which require it to manoeuvre between its role as a singular element, with another element and within a plural community. ‘Collage’ is a collaborative enterprise that requires every element to support each other. Conclusion Notions of transient dwelling and sense of belonging are not unique to older nomadic communities. In many senses, in today’s increasingly global and mobile world, individuals and communities are de-facto ‘nomads’ and ‘hybrids’ inhabiting diverse contexts in succession or even simultaneously, carrying multiple ‘traces’ or fragments with(in) them. Quite a few contemporary scholars in recent times have identified this trend of human society towards mobility, or ‘new mobilities’20 and how mobility is a central fact of modern or post-modern life21. Designing homes for such ‘de-facto nomadic’ societies who go through cycles of being on the move and being temporarily stationary in one place would involve negotiation and continuous selection, rejection, modification and fusion of such traces into architectural ideas to fashion more dynamic, adaptable, pluralistic and composite ways of living. One of the key challenges would be how to retain a sense of orientation and belonging, through architectural interventions, for a society on the move.
