WORK EXPERIENCE design philosophy

I believe that as a designer, our focus should not just be the physical spaces in one single building, but to consider environmental and social factors that influence the wider site context.

Design is not just asking ’what’ but ‘for who’ and ‘why’.

INFRASTRUCTURE PARK MASTERPLAN Masterplan of offshore reclaimed island

Challenging the notion that infrastructural buildings can only be mono-functional, the masterplan explores the integration of public educational spaces, ecological biodiversity park and waste management facilities on a new reclaimed island. The central ecopark aims to continue the biodiversity from the nearby island, creating a habitat for local flora and fauna to flourish.

DIAGRAMMATIC MASTERPLAN 1:2000 @ A3

The reclaimed island incorporates Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) to recycle stormwater and treated water for Plant operations and ecopark diversity.

AGEING-IN-PLACE NEIGHBOURHOODS Research and Urban Design

Age friendly or ageing friendly? There is a difference. The concept of age friendly compartmentalises design precepts that regard a neighbourhood as specifically for a cohort of older people. Ageing friendly on the other hand considers designing for everyone; people of all ages as they age in their neighbourhood. This shift in thinking allows for opportunities to create inter-generational and inclusive communities.

A LIVING NETWORK

Reactivation of wastewater to dene a cooler urban town typology

PRIVATE

The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling, characterised by global temperature rise, decreased snow cover, rising sea level, loss of biodiversity and urban heat island eect (UHI). UHI is dened as the dierence in temperatures between densely-built areas and their sub-urban surroundings due to its highdensity built environment. Singapore being a small country experiencing land scarcity issues, tend to create cities and communities of higher density. This increase in density increases the intensity of UHI. Hence, there is a need to cool down this increasing rise in temperatures in densely-built towns in Singapore.

SEMI-PUBLIC PUBLIC

This thesis will investigate wastewater as a social attractor, that redefines a new town typology while providing an effective cooling strategy through moving water. This network weaves in and out of the built environment, re-enforcing the concept of ‘living with water’. It aims to redefine a sustainable urban town by integrating stormwater and greywater channels with the urban built elements.

This wastewater network also redefines the movement of humans in an urban space, unlocking wastewater as a potential strategy for the unfolding of public life. increasing rise in temperatures in densely-built towns in Singapore.

SCALE 1 : Water Treatment per Building

SCALE 2 : Water Treatment per Neighbourhood

SCALE 3 : Water Treatment on City Level

Wastewater is collected from every floor, and transported downwards, where the start of the wastewater network begins. Clean water, filtered through an underground septic tank, is then piped up into the building, to cool down public and private spaces within the building.

This scale involves a few buildings, that wraps around a constructed urban wetland public space.

Wastewater would flow from the individual buildings, to urban spaces, as it undergoes the different phases of filtration, flowing from private spaces to very public spaces. The constructed wetland mitigates the effects of UHI, clean wastewater and to funnel people out into nature and stimulate community bonding.

The city masterplan would consist of clusters, where each cluster has its own primary constructed wetland public space in the centre. A water and green spine will connect these clusters together, to form a masterplan for a town of the future. The clusters are connected together through the use of a water and a green network, that serves to integrate transport (vehicular and pedestrian) and the wastewater network.

MADI RIVER REVITALISATION Nepal Masterplan - Computation Analysis & Design

Madi River, which refers to a prominent river channel within Nepal, is known for earthquakes, landslides and flooding. It highlights the importance of an architectural masterplan intervention, as means to tackle this issue.

Indexing Used to obtain the relationship between the different elements of the place.

Such an example is the water and local communities, gradient of slope and the potential of the area to be affected by natural disasters, accessibility of roads and the typology.

Existing Issues Shortage of electricity for household, little access to water and water pollution.

Flood Levels Indexing

Low lying areas overlapped with small water sheds

Low lying areas near the river

l Design Opportunity and Main Intervention: Living With Water This project aims to build on the current hydroelectric dam typology to create an ecologically and economically viable urban network using Madi River as a proposed testbed.

Potential hydroelectric dams will be proposed at steep junctions of the river channel to enhance the electrical output of these dams, supporting the energy needs of surrounding rural settlements. These dams will extend into streetscapes connecting settlements to an urban network of commercial, recreational and social spaces. By integrating natural cleansing systems to the existing dam infrastructure, the dam will also act as a source of clean water for the usage of surrounding communities.

Generating the grid, identifying flat areas 0° < x < 15°

Utilising site analysis done for pedestrian connectivity, locations of villages, urban spaces defined along the main river

Hydroelectrical system network for the proposed dam identified, in close proximity to urban spaces

HOTEL + CLUBHOUSE Interior Design

Vertical fins are used to create a contemporary sleek interior finishing, yet at the same time giving the user the illusion of a large amount of space. The fins also play a part in guiding a person’s attention to the various features. Use of reflective mirrors helps to bring in the expression of the sloped landscape inside the clubhouse. Stone and marble is also used in abundance to create a clean yet classy finish to the clubhouse and the residential towers.

MICROCLIMATE HOUSE Revisiting the needs of a Singapore House

This project returns to the basic matter of a tropical house, to determine how experimental typologies of a house in a tropical climate such as SIngapore affects the environment.

The environmental aspect being focused on in this project involves microclimate.

Microclimate is defined as the thermal comfort level being experienced by users in a space, caused by wind, light and humidity factors. This project explores how microclimate can be used in the design of a house.

Firstly, program spaces in the house are split into three catergories; which comprises of the thermal comfort in the house. With a climate analysis of the site, these program spaces are then placed onto the site. Microclimate of each of these spaces are then amplified with various architectural concepts, rather than being adapted to the site climate.

TRELLIS CANOPY Installation

This assignment is to design a canopy that is to be fit over two curved walls, on a square site, focusing on design computation to create the design of the canopy.

The aim of the design that we have come up with is to use opaque circles of varying diameters that are hanging on a transparent string to define the private and public areas that are bounded by the two curved walls. Sunlight that is able to reach these two areas are how the areas can be differentiated.

Private areas are dim as a result of denser circles, while the path for public use is more exposed to sunlight as it is less dense.
