“The Future of Waste is Electronics” 2017 global report estimates the world generated 44.7 million tonnes of e-waste, equating to 9 Great Pyramids of Giza. We live in a linear economy geared in consumerism. The growing volume of e-waste is the result of accelerated production and consumption cycle. It is now critical to question the sustainability of this practice as the amount of e-waste generated is detrimental to the economy and public health. Wastes of today can be resources of tomorrow. E-waste contains various metals, including copper, steel, aluminum and even gold, as well as plastic and glass, which can be recovered and used to manufacture new products. A new upcycling centre in Marina Bay East envisions to create a transparent architecture that challenges the linear capitalistic expansion of ‘take, make, and dispose’, enabling an alternative, circular economy of zero waste and resource recovery. Urban mining resists the economics of consumption by turning electronic waste into valuable resources to be reintroduced into the production stream. It is now time for the public to be involved in the practice of upcycling and circular economy, raising awareness of the consequences of e-waste by creating a greater visibility through public engagement. A new technological cycle of renewal can be facilitated through the implementation of makerspaces in combination with an e-waste processing facility, where things can be un-made and re-made. The centre offers multi-disciplinary collaboration involving the community, industry, and academia. Artisans and inventors could prototype their ideas with a steady flow of materials, supported by industry experts. The centre offers an avenue to venture into entrepreneurship at the Artisan Marketplace. Through communal participation, a culture of reuse, repair and remake could be established in the precinct. With proper treatment, e-waste of today could be the building blocks of tomorrow. Precious materials found in e-waste could be upcycled to create new materials for furniture, apparel, and building components. It is time look at our trash as valuable resources, not just disposables. The upcycling centre functions as a circular prototype, aimed to inspire and educate future creators that are mindful of the impact of their creation. Through active engagement, the centre could pave a new path towards a sustainable future.

“ L i v e , Wo r k , P l a y, L e a r n , M a k e ” In land-scarce Singapore, resources are not distributed equitably across the population. A swath of land on the island’s southern waterfront—now known as Marina Bay East—becomes a site of tabula rasa. This ‘blank canvas’ presents an opportunity for the realisation of a testbed not only for the implementation of new technologies, but also new practices and ideologies. The project is envisioned as a self-sufficient society built on the principles of socio-economic equity as well as cultural and environmental sustainability. Situated against the backdrop of glass skyscrapers emblematic of Singapore’s financial and commercial prowess, the project proposes an antithesis to the late-stage capitalism that has rendered the nation vulnerable and at the mercy of other nations to supply basic necessities like food and water. This new community seeks to embody an economic and cultural reset that sees value in production and productivity—a neo-agrarian society that internally fulfils its nutritional, water, and waste-management needs while striving for a more equitable distribution of resources. With the opening of the nearby Keppel Desalination Plant that alone supplies 7% of the island’s freshwater needs, the project continues this narrative of self-reliance by producing its own agricultural output, ranging from green vegetables and fruits to farmed seafood and lab-grown cultured meat. Food production stations scattered around the site enable farm-to-table systems, which in turn provide for a food belt that comprises marketplaces, hawker centres, and commercial F&B dining. In this masterplan, programme decentralisation plays a key role in facilitating a sense of ownership within the community, and education in agriculture and waste management is brought to the forefront of this project: each precinct hosts local farms that act as catalysts for the growth of a community and the cultivation of an identity. Moreover, a waterway that meanders through the site not only provides a strong North-South axis that orientates the masterplan, it also allows for alternative water transport systems as well as vibrant waterfront spaces for all to enjoy. 11

“Can mixed-use development produce food?” Former Joo Chiat Complex is redesigned to address the lack of food production in tight-knitted urban fabric enriched in history and culture. A combination of vertical and communal farming engages communal participation in an intensive food production. The project aims to achieve a close loop food system where food is grown locally and supplied to the neighbourhood. Solar canopy and rainwater harvesting roofs allows for the self sufficient farms, reducing reliance on the grid. The plaza attempts to ease the fragmentation of public areas in the neighbourhood, as a series of ramps and terraces extend street activities onto higher levels. The newly pedestrianised Joo Chiat Road encourages pedestrian friendly trails and activated street fronts, enhancing economic viability and sociability of the neighbourhood. Elevated green public spaces attempt to address the lack of greenery in the site and create accessible green areas in upper levels of the development, freeing the ground level for street activities. Plaza Joo Chiat speculates the possibility of a new typology of mix-use development that integrates productive and leisure activities within a tight-knitted urban environment. As Singapore aims to achieve its 30 by 30 food sufficiency goal, it is time to look at how food production could be integrated into our daily activities. Through participatory design, increased awareness in food sustainability, and engaging human and social capital, food production could promote better social cohesion, foster communal identity and safeguard Singapore’s food security.
“Stitching Communities” In an urban, fine-grain neighbourhood, The Food Hub attempts to address the lack of food production in a tight-knitted urban fabric enriched in history and culture by creating a resilient food system in Geylang Serai-Joo Chiat area through vertical green and fish farming aimed at encouraging communal participation. Former Geylang Serai Market will integrate aquaculture and fish farming, while Joo Chiat Complex produces high quality leafy greens. The development of the food hub will integrate various systems as the two buildings work in synergy, creating a productive area infused with green public spaces. The project aims to achieve a closed loop food system where food is grown locally, and supplied to the neighbourhood, supplemented with solar energy harvesting, rainwater collection and automation. A farmer’s market connecting the redesigned Geylang Serai Market and Joo Chiat complex serves as a pedestrian bridge and a meeting point for communities in the neighbourhood. It is also a food exchange as fish and vegetables are supplied to both buildings. Secondly, The Food Hub attempts to ease the fragmentation of public areas in the neighbourhood, as public spaces and circulation networks are fragmented at smaller scales. The masterplan envisions to bridge the gaps in public spaces by reconnecting an existing pedestrian network, Haig Walk, to ease the transition from East Coast Park, to Katong, Joo Chiat, Geylang Serai and concluding the journey at Paya Lebar Integrated Hub. The project proposes the pedestrianisation of Joo Chiat Road as means to rejuvenate the “linear corridor”, by activating the street to incorporate vibrant, cultural activities that brings back a range street activities such as outdoor theatre and performance. The activated streetfronts enhances economic viability and sociability of the site as businesses extend activities beyond existing boundaries. The Food Hub speculates the possibility of a new typology of mix-use development that integrates productive and leisure activities within a tight-knitted urban environment. As Singapore aims to achieve its 30 by 30 food sufficiency goal, it is time to look at how food production could be integrated into our daily activities. Through participatory design, increased awareness in food sustainability, and engaging human and social capital, food production could promote better social cohesion, foster communal identity and safeguard our food security in the future.
