THALASSIC EX NIHILO By 2050, around 200 million people will be permanently displaced through diversification of complex political, social and economic components. As those components accelerated, social-cultural conflict will become one of the most major problems in the future.

Various parties should be responsible helping each other in maintaining human stabilization in order not to be lost in the midst of world evolution. Multiple methods such as the introduction of hybrid programme typologies and technological advances can be utilized to achieve the stabilization vision.

Thalassic Ex Nihilo is a proposed model to restart, maintain and progress the Seletar Sea Gypsies at the Johor Straits in the area of Stulang Laut. The identified issue and interpretations will tackle the sustainability questions of social, political, economic, humanity and environmental awareness.

Stulang Laut is an urbanized seaside housing and commercial area that has evolved throughout the years.

Once it was a village of the Seletar Sea Gypsies that built house on stils along the Johor Straits. As the area went through the process of urbanization, the Seletar Sea Gypsies slowly depleting in number. They migrate or being placed at another area.

theory.

Phenomenology was once being popularized by Edmund Husserl, a forerunner in modern philosophy. Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness in surrounding as experienced from the 1st person point of view. Some examples of structure of consciousness is emotion, thought and sensorial perception.

Upon having the Phenomenology theory as an underlying structure of the scheme, the theory is extracted in to a concept called ‘Unpacking Phenomena’. Do you ever think how a man discover onion at the very first time? Do they just walk away or examine it?

Unpacking Phenomena invites people to have a pure mental process in prevailing another dimension of a matter or in detail the water element found on the site. So, how can we unpack the sea? Is there any good we can gain with it? What if we manifest new way of living? What if we live in a drowned surrounding? The programme notion is being structured to have 60% of water based programme and the other 40% is archetypal.

Besides,the scheme is programmed to achieve supreme- tangibility with the genius loci and have zero schism between man and water.

issue.

Potential social damage within the context of Non- Binary people

NON

BINARY Non- binary people is a diverse group or people who are attracted to people of the same gender.

Women who is attracted to women and is men who is attracted to men. They are not missed from getting abused from the civilians as their characterization is beyond of the norm of life.

The project explores the potential interconnection between social, politics and architecture. It has a vision to cure the social disintegration and war that might happen in the future. The vertical tower is part of the agreement between the Government and the Non- binary people. It provides them a place to refuge from furious civilians and to heal themselves towards being straight and moving on living a normal living.

current scenario.

Violence Aganinst Non- Binary Activists in Armenia

Due to actions and voices of the non- binary people who are getting louder, they get beaten and abused. Their actions does not make the civilians comfortable.

potential scenario.

Stonewall Riots, 1969, England

13 May Riots 1969, Malaysia

In context of 2050, the population of Malaysia will be getting higher thus the number of nonbinary people will be higher too. if the abused on them are getting higher too, it could cause a tension between the people. it will end up into a war or disasterous environment if things are not controlled.

concept.

SMOKESCREEN TACTIC Smokescreen tactic is defined by having a dialogue with the Non-Binary people during the war and applying it with the verbal- pleasing engagement. The strategy is to have a double facet building in which the external side that could attract the Non- Binary people inside and the internal side is to be the healing space.

we will heal you

The vision is to heal the Non- Binary people to be straight again hence the building needs to have a secret agenda. The first perception of the Non- Binary people is that the building will provide regular treatment of war injuries. The perception stays forever. They will never know the real intention of the building. The importance of the secrecy of the agenda is high because if the Non- Binary people knew that the real function of the building, they would not come at the first place.

Malay civilisation had appeared 70000 years ago. It is an ethnic group that inhabits the Nusantara region which consist of the Peninsula, Sumatra, Java Island and many more. Since the Melaka glory years, Malay had a great civilisation with many regions around the world recognises their greatness. 1511, the Portuguese attacked and colonized Malacca. It continues with the Dutch, British and Japan and this had led through the decline of Malay civilisation. It causes a major factor in the loss of Malay identity in the country and its people

Merdeka Tiada Batas Museum is a design thesis that attempts to regenerate Malay civilisation. It is identified that the spirit of Malay lies on water and is proven by the fact that they used to sail around the world, live near the river shoreline and defend their territory from the sea. The proposal is projected not to only exhibit Malay civilisation artefacts but also to stimulate spiritual senses and moments to the visitors.

A site has been selected at Precinct 5, Putrajaya in which the site is located strategically beside a large-sized lake. Kenneth Frampton’s theory of critical regionalism was extracted by reinterconnecting the visitors with the water. The site was dug to allow the water to access into the site perimeter. Exhibition spaces are integrated with the water element to introduce new typology of spaces, programme and circulation. It stimulates and engages spiritual connection with the visitors. With the presence of spiritual connections, this design thesis could preserve and regenerate the lost Malay identity hence changing the perception towards the Malay civilisation.

johor bahru city center 1°27’34.4”N 103°45’50.9”E

The site is located in Johor Bahru city, in the southern part of the Peninsular of Malaysia.

This central urban portion has been chosen as significant example of how Malaysian cities, starting from a spontaneous built alignment along the road, developing into big metropolitan hubs. The chosen site of the city center arises problems and challenges of almost all Asian cities facing a fast urbanization: traffic issues, social impact and wellbeing of the city. The area includes commercial buildings not aligned with sustainable construction standards, offices, banks, hotels and shopping centers, heritage buildings of Mosque and temples. These buildings are in need of regeneration.

The place is extremely polluted and fractured by two main crowded roads, a network of equally clogged small roads and the unutilized waterway. The area is lack of open and accessible public space, an outdoor inclusive landscape with interactive points which function as social and generational connector. Limited space reserved for car-parks causes double- lane parking problems, leading towards traffic congestion. Lack of awareness and education of the citizens towards environmental issues had worsen the problem.

On the hill’s top, at the edge of the ‘Heritage Area’, arises Bukit Timbalan, historical state government headquarter. The building now is unutilized and surrounded by a large green plot: it could be a tourist spot and city landmark, as the special green oasis, made of public use, should become a precious urban park. Regeneration of old shophouses could offer working- living spaces for the needy social groups. It could preserve yet generate economy through the regeneration of the component.

Biophilic architecture is a kind of new solution and way of how cities should cooperate and solve not all but at least help crucial part of urbanization. Biophilic architecture can be designed at various scale from interior to urban scale. The essence is to emphasize the importance of a close connection, interaction between humans and nature. Introduction of several green- oriented activities that will educate and expose humans to an effective contact with nature while enhancing biodiversity.

The shared landscape contemplates a programmatic offer of activities. Points of interest targeted to educate people towards environmental awareness, to transmit knowledge and manual traditions of the past with choral active involvement and participation. Symbiotic interaction will imprint this kind of city: an urban fabric rich and complex with physical proximity of different proposals and functions.

It will fulfil the multiple needs and interests of a multifaceted society, allowing a beneficial and symbiotic interaction. Multi-use structures will provide the background environment for such interaction.

art hub

In the area situated at the heart of the shophouses district has been conceived an art exhibition building with green roof garden. The Art Hub will attract tourists and encouraging citizens to approach art which happens to be a medium to generate creativity and happiness. At the same time, art will also maintains the mental sustainability of the citizens. A simple, sustainable structure built by bamboo, lightly shaded by growing creepers will transform the adjoining area into the art hub. The organized exhibitions encourage multiple approach of art by the citizens.

aquatic center

Bamboo poles and locally recycle material are the components of the new organic, low-cost passive structures envisioned for the biophilic context. The aim is to maximize contact with nature and encouraging outdoor living. Resilient research imprints of the built urban materials will be carried out.

artists’ shophouses

Moving to the conservation area, a line of dilapidated old shophouses located next to an empty land which are used as an unauthorized parking will be regenerated for artists’ residences/studios. Challenges of the intervention is to restore and maintain the old patina’s charm, attuned with the heritage’s remains.

Past and present passive techniques are combined. Renovation of abandoned old shophouses provides useful spaces for young talented artists.

Can Humans Live in Space Without Going Crazy?

By David Levine | August 14, 2018 2:30 pm

Over and over I keep returning to something: What impact does being in space have on the human psyche? And for those future Mars astronauts, how would the human mind hold up as Mother Earth fades away to a dot?

Being in another place can be tough on the mental. Think about being away from your usual living, say from Europe to Asia. By the time you arrive there, your skin will sweat and you take of your double-layer clothes because of the climate.

The way the surrounding eat and interact will also effect you.

imagine Now imagine you are migrating to Mars: low gravity, radiation exposure, a six month trip spanning millions of kilometers. Without some kind of “countermeasures� to protect you, your muscles will shrivel, your bones could weaken, your genes might be damaged and confused. When you arrive, you might find it hard to even get out of your spaceship without stumbling and hurting yourself.

The concept of Heaven on Mars is primarily mimicking the earth on mars in order to address the issues on psychological problems and possibilities. Earthly environment triggers positive emotions as it will make them feel closer to home, thus also acts as a part of hedonistic sustainability.

It is scientifically proven that earth’s nucleus; the water and nature can supply happiness to human. The immeasurable sense of peace one feels around water and nature serves as an escape from loneliness, isolation and depression. They will feel more physically and mentally happy when interacting with the earth’s nucleus.

A frozen sea once existed in Elysium Planitia, as wide as the North Sea on earth. With the ample amount of icebergs trapped underneath the site, water can be extracted with technologies to cater the human colony.

By highlighting communal living around the nucleus, it is believed that it could retain their happiness throughout the mission. We reject the sense of living individually, we celebrate communal living for the sake of hedonistic sustainability.

site potentials.

A frozen sea once existed on Elysium Planitia. Plate like patterns seen in the ground near Athabasca Vallis, a region at 5°N and 150°E, about 1,180 kilometers (730 miles) south of Elysium Mons. It contains numerous natural resource that could be extracted for the use of the colony
