01 UN LAYER A TAKE ON SINGAPORE’S PUBLIC HOUSING

INSTRUCTOR: ROY PANG The project challenges the stratification, division and alienation of families brought about by the vertical nature of today’s public housing estate, attempting to reconnect neighbors and form communities.

5


THE SITE The site is located in Punggol, next to a major transportation hub consisting of an MRT station, LRT station and bus interchange. Initial analysis reveals that majority of residents living in Punggol are young families, consisting of 3039 years old adults with children between 0-9 years old1. There is therefore an abundance provision of primary schools in these area. A child would only have to travel an average of 350m to the nearest primary school2. There is little need for students to venture out of their own cluster.

PUNGGOL JETTY

Moreover, analysis of supermarkets in the area indicate that a good, well-stocked and cheap supermarket will entice residents from distant neighbourhood to visit it3. (e.g. Shengshiong Supermarket at Punggol Field). Strategies involved in this project would have to target young adults with young children, encouraging them to interact within and without the many clusters that exists in Punggol.

NEIGHBOURHOOD GROWTH CONCEPT Forming networks between individuals and spaces, with the ultimate goal of fostering communities, establishing identities and encouraging adaptibility towards future changes. GROWTH

ADAPTIBILITY

Punggol’s social housing landscape is unique. Encouraging young families to interact physically within a hyper-connected society would be a challenge. Site analysis reveals that there is a potential for children to interact with one another if given a space, as each primary school accepts students who live in close proximity to the school. For adults, interactions can be fostered when people venture out of their clusters for food and groceries.

However, the vertical stacking of apartment blocks creates a natural impedance towards social interactions between neighbours on different levels (1). Everyday, lifts whisks occupants pass every floor, sweeping pass neighbours living meters away from them (2). Interactions are further hindered by the wall-like nature of current housing blocks (4), forming towering concrete obstacles around clusters, unwelcoming to passer-bys and residents alike (3).

I was in charge of the new building, working together with a team of 4-5. Throughout the design process, constant feedback was received from professors, the clients (Capitaland Vietnam), our Vietnamese school counterparts, and most importantly, the stakeholders at the village. The design was constantly tweaked, balancing client and community needs with regulatory and site constraints. The project is estimated to finish construction in October 2019.

The existing kindergarten, the sole school in the area, accommodates only 90 children, with 80 children heading to ill-equipped subkindergartens in the area. There is also a desire to include prekindergarten (6 months to 3 years old) children within the compound. The existing dilapidated structure was demolished in anticipation of the powerful storm Usagi, resulting in broken masonry filling the existing area, unsafe and unusable for any activities.

TIME-LINE THE CONCEPT IN-BETWEEN

Visitation of surrounding houses revealed the interesting phenomena of residents having front porches under light roof structures, in which many daily living activities take place (e.g. gardening, neighbor visitation, relaxing). In this project, the team attempts to bring this “inbetween” space that exists in the vernacular, familiar layout into the kindergarten. DEMOLOSHED 1-STOREY BLOCK

ITERATION 1 The in-between spaces exist as the transitional zone, where the lines between studying (indoor) and playing (outdoor) are blurred. Such spaces are multi-functionary, encouraging the adoption of learning through play as well as allowing different use cases at different times. For example, the staircase functions as a grand stand after school hours, allowing villagers to hold activities and perform around the open space. The area inbetween the classrooms act as a wind channel, while allowing outside-class activities to take place within a shelter.

ITERATION 2

PARTICIPATORY WORKSHOP

In the second iteration, classrooms are pushed to the perimeter, allowing a single spacious play space at the front. The immediate space in front of the classrooms functions as the in-between space, allowing for recreation and at lunch times, extended eating space to the existing canteen requested by the clients. The grand stairs were retained and its function enhanced. The ground lifts up to meet the stairs halfway, forming a mound, allowing vertical circulation to be used in conjunction with embedded play-scape and grandstand. Breeze blocks act as a second skin to the facade, filtering harsh radiation into naturally ventilated classrooms.

The team, together with four other design teams, visited the village and conducted a participatory workshop with the local stakeholders. Each team presented a physical model as well as posters to the local authorities, the kindergarten teachers and principal as well as the parents. Feedback was gathered in terms of appearance, learning environment, movement, play space, facilities and safety. This was communicated through written post-it notes and transcription. Participants were then given stickers to vote for their favourite aspects and overall design scheme. Children were given toy figurines and the physical models to play with after the presentation, with their movements throughout the model as well as favourite spots noted down.

ITERATION 3

In this iteration, class sizes and circulation was resolved, and regulations were strictly adhered to. The existing canteen was integrated into the overall scheme, and the roof redesigned to encompass the canteen and its extension into one unified form. Breeze-blocks were strategically applied to minimize cost. Classroom blocks were combined for efficient sharing of services and storage space. In doing so, the inbetween space was extended, and serves as a washing-up/chalkable/indoor-outdoor wooden deck. Accessibility on the first floor was addressed by introducing a gentle slope to the plinth from ground level, providing seamless connection between spaces.

IN IDE

A modern art museum that seeks to channel the public into a central courtyard, captivating and exciting impromptu visitors and art lovers alike through glimpses of the world of art. Visitors begin their journey through accessing one of the exhibits or lecture theatre from the central courtyard, and continue on their seamless journey over on the inside.

The museum aims to incite reactions against the social regulations and norms imposed upon us by this pragmatic society, and excite the everyday man with the plethora of arts displayed throughout the museum. The public is channeled through the building through cuts which reveal the interior of the rock-like, monolithic facade of the museum, bringing them towards a central courtyard, instantly surrounded by art. Visitors or art lovers alike are beckoned to step inside the now transparent and 24

inviting entrances. and easily visit one space from another by walking across the courtyard, or by a connecting ring that encircles the museum on the third floor when they finish each exhibition. In each space, cuts in the form manifest shafts of light or cast strategic shadows, emphasizing spatial contrasts and highlighting exhibits. In all, the museum seeks to enchant visitors in this enclosed world of art, enticing them to stay in the museum for awhile longer on the inside.

This project explores the use of computational development and analysis of architectural devices, manipulating natural daylight to create aesthetic, suitable and energy efficient spaces within a hawker center.

THE CONCEPT

We envision a space in which light meets food, where patrons dine in soft light and greenery frames their dish to perfection. In order to achieve this, we allowed diffused light to bounce off surfaces and greenery, creating soft lighting across the space. Direct rays spotlight green spaces above stalls and in the central planters, highlighting the greenery that surrounds patrons

High

The larger the distance of funnel to roof top, the more diffused light bouncing in from roof top

DEPTH Shallow

Larger radius increases the amount of direct light into the space

ANGLE OF CURL Small

A physical model was constructed with materials of similar absorbance and specularity to actual materials in order to simulate actual conditions. The model was then brought into strong daylight in order for us to study the intensity of the glare and real-life conditions, and tweak the model accordingly.

Steeper angles allow for a better ability to direct light Funnel as central art piece, as well as natural light channel and filter.

Visualizations confirm the ability of lighting devices to maintain uniform light intensity of around 70-150 cd/m2 throughout the space, with glare conditions concentrated only at funnel areas as spotlighting.

LIVING SKIN @1FINALYSON GREEN WITH DION TEO, ELIZABETH YANG, JOSHUA TAN, ODELIA TAN

INSTRUCTOR: WILLIAM SAPUTRA

A unique office building with a facade that brings greenery and nature to both the average office worker as well as the pedestrian on the street. In addition to this, we strive to create integrated and social spaces that allows office workers to convene not only at each floor, but as a community of office levels, a green band spiralling up to the top of the building.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

LAUREL AWARD

This project was part of Singapore Night Fest 2018. Our team entered the Open Call for the festival, and was one of the few selected to set up an installation. This multi-disciplinary project exposed us to the importance of safety, tender drawings, the right contractors, and many more invaluable lessons. From the conceptualisation of the idea to the guiding of people through the installation, this project proved to be a challenging, yet fullfilling endeavour.

RENDER OF JOURNEY

The Search seeks to pay homage to the journey of navigating life in the city, and the whirlwind of emotions that come with it through the symbolism of a paper plane — a fond childhood plaything for many. The installation relays the message that there is something beautiful to celebrate in the people we meet, and experiences we gain in everyone’s unique journey of self-discovery. The accompanying soundscape is a composition titled “The Autumn Journey”, written by Singapore-based multi-instrumental composer and pianist Eric Chiryoku, complementing the audiovisual experience of the installation. RENDER OF FINAL ROOM

This installation is also supported by Paper Carpenter - a design studio specialising in cardboard creations. Using the PaperConnectTM System, massive structures can be easily built with materials that are 100% recyclable from sustainable sources and FSC certified. RENDER OF ENTRANCE 40

A FAIRYTALE REVEALED

REJUVENATING AN OLD PIANO

Selected project from open call by Play It Forward (Singapore) in conjunction with Archifest 2017.

Often, in the hustle and bustle of city life, we struggle to find some form of peace. Some of us do so by listening to the almost magical notes produced by the ever so beautiful and yet mysterious intangible element called music. In this piece, we hope to show you the secret behind the wonder making of these almost fairytale like sounds….​

Under the Asian Leadership Programme, students were engaged in an exchange program with Zhejiang University. I had the opportunity to be involved in a landscape architecture course, where we were tasked to design a country park sited in Zhejiang Province.

08 CYPRESS COUNTRY PARK

The start of the course involved theoretical lessons and park visits, where we learned about the rich history and culture behind Chinese gardens, and its uniqueness amongst other gardens from around the world. Later, we were tasked to design a country park, incorporating many elements and considerations we were previously taught. At the end of the course, I gained a whole new perspective and appreciation of gardens, as well as an increased spatial awareness.
