MOVABILITY
DESIGN BRIEF Through the application of today’s knowledge and science in botany, zoology and ecology, we can envision buildings that are part living and part machine, similar to a cyborg. A new domesticated realm as a new ecosystem, deals not only with the present condition, but as well as allowing for future evolution, for both landscape as well as living creatures within.” This program wants to expand this theory into the study of evolution in a domesticated ecosystem.

CONCEPT With Marijuana being increasingly legalized with increasing social acceptance, the legal cannabis business is rapidly accelerating into the development of infrastructure stage. Dispensaries will soon utilize architects and designers as a way to offer their customers a sense of legitimacy to what many still consider to be a questionable industry. However, the energy consumption that comes with farming marijuana is astronomical and extensively environmentally degrading. As the industry catches up, professional growers will not only want to stay compliant with environmental regulations, but also want to find ways to cut their high land, water and energy costs. Now is the time to move towards the sustainable route.

DESIGN BRIEF “New Sustainable Housing Mass� is a studio that introduces a playful and abstract approach to explore and experiment, through a complete design project, advanced typologies and structures together with contemporary sustainable solutions, dedicated to live in dense and tropical conditions.
CONCEPT Inspired by the richeness of the biodiversity and tourism of the iconic Mount Vesuvius, the proposed volcanic mass housing project aims at creating various lush calderic oasis that formed communities within the density of the residential blocks. Being directly connected to Tanah Merah MRT, it was also an intention to seamlessly connect to the urban fabric from ground up through the idea of accessible roofs that provides panoramic views. Urban farms and calderic oasis rain gardens would further contribute to the identity of this Volcanic mass housing of Tanah Merah.

DESIGN BRIEF This studio asks for the design of a living repository as a commemoration towards Singapore’s 50th anniversary. The musuem would house artifacts that has shaped the young nation’s identity and spirit, also providing hopeful insights into the future. Boat Quay
CONCEPT “Basin of connections” is designed to be dynamic and attractive, yet reflective of the the museum’s aspiration to reflect the Singapore River being the epitome of a connection point where trade, interaction and life collide, in the past and in this new age. This project thus aspires to be a main connection basin where people meet and gather. The museum is designed to be the bridging point between the two districts that it sits between, allowing a seamless circulatory flow through through the museum. The design adopts a ramp circulation in which visitors circulate though exhbition spaces that are both physically and visually connected via the ramps.

DESIGN BRIEF Located right beside the Newton Circle in the uptown district of Newton. With the iconic Newton Food Centre and Orchard road in close proximity, this studio seeks to develop a dynamic mixed-use residential housing project.
CONCEPT “Union” aims at creating a dynamic mixed-use residential housing project, seeking to unify residental, commercial and recreation. The main concept behind “Union” was derived from the observation of joggers and families exercising and playing on site. With no conducive park large enough for recreational activities within the area, the aim of this project is to serve as an extension and continuation of the existing jogging loop, also proving a welcoming and open green space for the residents of the community to bond and play.

DESIGN BRIEF Through designing a residential building in this Building Information Modelling (BIM) studio, computational tools the accumulated knowledge regarding good design and construction practices will be embedded. This studio is designed to provide fundamental knowledge and basic practical skills of the planning and execution of Building Information Models. CONCEPT With the site centered around the up and coming Jurong Lake Gardens which will house the refreshed Jurong Lake Park, Chinese and Japanese Gardens. Extending the influence of our site into the design of our building, the design is intended to exploit the views and lush greenery of the district - The long wave form of the building would provide panoramic views and encourage breezes and sky garden bridges that seamlessly connect the two blocks would create a communal space for residents.

DESIGN BRIEF This studio asks for the design of an interstitial space that is a continous extension of the SUTD campus. Located in the central courtyard of the campus, the design should include a performance and exhibition space, all conjoined through cirulatory systems, resulting in a carefully designed promenade that weaves the current and new programs. CONCEPT “Altitude� was conceptualized as an oasis within the heart of the school, where people would be welcomed into an escape into serenity from the buzz of the campus. Designing with geometery from the intersection of two grid systems - grid of the intervention zone and grid rotated towards the view of the scenic hills of NUS, the building is shaped around targeted views, creating the ultimate vantage point on campus.

DESIGN BRIEF For this Architecture Sceience & Technology Term project, we were required to submit a Student Hostel design proposal, to be built with containers and with empahsis on the building’s structures. CONCEPT My group’s concept for a high-rise hostel first came about from the main components of construction, which are the containers. From the beginning, our objectives were to break the feeling of confinement and uniformity that a container would create. We wanted to create a sense of openness and spaciousness not only in the form of the building but also in the user experience within the individual units. At the same time, we wanted to respect the materials we were using and be economically considerate as possible. Thus we developed a terrace concept with minimal external structures that would seem porous and light. Each unit is also made to house more students to encourage bonding among students. Configuration of the units also allow a fast and efficient on-site assembly system.

DESIGN BRIEF In relation to Singapore50 happening in 2015, for this school project, we were to redesign the existing Singapore Visitor’s Centre, making it more attractive whilst retaining the necessary programs. CONCEPT The Singapore Visitor’s Centre if anything, should exdude “Singapore” in its entire design. Known to the world as the Garden City, “Uplift” is aimed at bringing a subtle softness into the harsh cityscape. The idea for this new design of the Singapore Visitor Centre was a gentle uplifting of the existing green space, on site, whilst maintaining the high density pathway through it. Being a visitors’ centre, this installation was also designed as the a viewing platform with unobstructed views of the bustling streets to immerse vistors in Singapore’s most glamourous and famed shopping district.

DESIGN BRIEF To design a tasteful restroom for a Grade ‘A’ Office Building in Xi’an, China with a proposed palette of materials for its construction. CONCEPT As this restroom was designed for an office building, there was a need to stay coherent to the entire theme of the building. The bathroom’s colour palette was inspired by the Lobby and Lift Lobby. A similar style for the doors of the cubicles was also adopted from the lift door panels. Elements of the restrooms were also designed to be user friendly and easy to maintain and upkeep.

Lift Lobby that inspired the style of the door panels of the cubicles. The colour palette and the retangular slabs of mable are also the design language I wanted to translate.
At the entrance of the bathroom is timber pillar for privacy. The sink counter is designed with a splash-back and the paper towel dispenser can be found hidden behind mirror above the sink. This arrangement is user-friendly and prevents users from wetting the floor of the bathroom. There is a mounted paper towel dispenser and hand dryer by the exit/entrance if needed as well. Full length doors for the toilet cubicles increase privacy for users. On the inside of the cubicle, you can find a ledge for bulkier items like handbags and another smaller ledge above the toilet paper dispenser for smaller items like phones and wallets.

DESIGN BRIEF A Singapore Tourism Board project, we were tasked to design the Chinatown street light-up for the Dragon year. As the Dragon Year is considered one of the most auspicious years in the Chinese Zodiac cycle, our design was to translate grandeur, to hopefully attract an aimed record breaking 1 million visitors to Chinatown. CONCEPT Reunion is an important aspect that the Chinese value, especially so during the Chinese New Year. Hence, for the 2012 light-up design for Chinatown, the idea was to reunite all families back to their roots and heritage, right at the heart of Chinatown. The highlight was the Majestic dragon; 108metres long, weaving along the middle divider of entire length of the road, unifying Chinatown as a single family unit. Located at the entrance of the Eu Tong Sen road and New Bridge road, its sheer scale also makes for a grand and welcoming entry for the drivers into Chinatown. Throughout Chinatown a total of 9 dragons (auspicious number for the chinese) can be found, including the arches, the bridge and the focal spots.

Vibrant street lightings with blue lights that represent the water element, as 2012 was the year of the water element. It can be seen that the water dragon glides in towards the golden coins with its mouths wide open, ready to welcome fortune and luck.
The barricade of the garden bridge is intertwined with a single long dragon. This dragon twirling in a pool of gold coins symbolizes the rolling of money into the people’s pocket. Vistors can get up close to this dragon and makes for a good photography point, with the buzz of Chinatown as a backdrop.

DESIGN BRIEF To propose a design intervention that uses earth construction techniques such as Adobe, Torchis and Fabric framework as performative elements of the design.
CONCEPT Having experienced the 3 different mediums of earth construction, we decided on a mix between Torshi and Fabric Framework. Our idea for the project was “Nature Regrowth”, where we wanted to create a scene where nature overtakes an urban space. Our design aimed to mimick the ‘stripping of earth’ to form a pavilion structure
Concept Sketches

| NATURE REGROWTH
We wanted our pavilion to be incorporated into a community project where we have a crater-like space for a performing arts center. The pavilion would be a walkway down into the crater. This crater would act as a lush oasis in the heart of the city, where people gather in celebration of the arts and music and be a step closer to nature. A more ambitious idea was to have a space for a bamboo forest and every year people participate in earth construction, to use the material from this forest to construct the performing arts center for an annual festival.
