SITE ANALYSIS

CULTURE & LEISURE CENTRE

CORE STUDIO 1 PROJECT 3

This project ask for us to design a culture and leisure centre located at Tampines. The recommended programs include exhibition spaces, lecture theatre, cafe and a design shop.

I approached the project based on my site analysis, where I attempt to address the issue of overcrowding at the road crossing from 2. TAPER 3. SPLIT Tampines MRT1. EXTRUDE to Tampines Mall. The solution proposed was to create an alternative path to the other road crossing through the site by creating an architecture of interest to the public. My architecture was designed with the intention where the public will walk alongside and through the building while they move towards their destinations., attempting to infuse curiosity within them to enter and explore the insides of my building. While most buildings around the site are commercial shopping malls. I intended my architecture to bring about a different atmosphere within the building, giving the users a much more quiet and tranquil environment.

SKY

CORE STUDIO 2 PROJECT 1

This project ask for us to design a satelite campus for our school located at Somerset.

After analysing the site, I realised that most buildings around the site has no visual relation with the sky. I was also intrigued by the complexity found in some junctions from my urban flow analysis. Hence, I was compelled to allow people to feel the presence of the sky and replicate the complexity of the junctions within my architecture. This project emphasised on thinking in sections and creating massing through sectional draws. Below shows a section of an entirely public ground area where spaces are compressed when entering the building to create a stronger presence of the sky at the other end of my design.

DMAND CENTRE

CORE STUDIO 1 PROJECT 2

This Project ask for us to design a Digital Manufacturing Design Centre as an extension of our school’s Fabrication Lab. The project site was at an undeveloped plot of land at the back of the school compound.

I started the project by developing programmatic relationships between the required programs. I designed the circulation of space to be student-oriented. Knowing that students move between fabrication space and workspace very frequently, I merged both spaces together while making it the main circulation space between the assembly space, exhibition space and other meetings rooms.

The design intention was to create an introverted space where the noise from CNC machines and 3D printers will be kept on the inside. I also attempted at integrating specific wall detail to the different programs throughout the architecture.

CORE STUDIO 1 PROJECT 1

This project ask for us to design a simple bridge between two of the hostel buildings on the 6th floor.

With one block having a double volume space and long extended columns, I was inspired to inspired to many extrusions that extends out from the double volume space to the other hostel block. The extrusions are exaggerated between the block to create this indoor multipurpose space that connects to the 5th floor.

WEAVE PAVILION

DIGITAL COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN GROUP PROJECT 2

This was a group project that ask for us to create a small pavillion by using a “Spring Theory� computational code.

My group approached the project by introducing a weaving formal opperation throughout the pavilion. This operation was also coded through grasshopper alongside with the spring theory used. This results in a final structure that for a pavilion that could potentially have additional flaps that provides shade and air ventilation.

PHYSICAL MODEL

We introduced a rx and ry parameter to the spring theory code to allow our group to create surfaces of different width and length before running it through the spring system. This allows for faster design interations where we attempted at finding the perfect size in the given context that suits our design.

Variable b is introduced to control the height between each weave. This allow us to control the ideal height to accentuate the notion of weaving yet ensuring that it is not too drastic

We manually adjust the radius to represent as close as possible to the thickness of the pipes in reality

GRASSHOPPER CODE

We also manually change the dx value in the code to change the density of weaves within the same width and length.

In order to make the template for the model making, the curves that has to be bent has to change from a 3D shape to a 2D shape. This process of flattening was done by triangulating surfaces between each bend and then unrolling each surface before join them together again.

YUNITI

GROUP COMPEITION

This competition ask for us to design an educational facility for the study of popular culture in Tokyo. Some programs that were recommended from the brief are a forum for 300 people, interactive workspace and exhibition space.

Yuniti is the english spelling of unity in japanese. Japanese pop culture has been uniting children young and old for generations. In a similar fashion, my team and I wanted to integrate the concept of bringing people together by creating more opportunities for social interaction in our design. We started by seperating the progam spaces into areas that accomodate to the public (blue) and spaces that accomodate to the students (pink). The key feature to our design is the sole circulation (orange) that wraps around the atrium. Through this scheme, users get to have accidental meetings with strangers when moving from one programmatic space to another. The atrium also serves as the main central volume of our building, creating interior perspectivesTOKYO viewed atPOP different points of the building.
