( n . ) To b r i n g t o g e t h e r ; a c h a n n e l This Core Studio 1 project, b a s e d i n Ta m p i n e s , w a s t o propose a centre for leisure and culture for the residents of this neighbourhood. The proposal called for a space that facilitated circulation across t h e f i e l d f r o m Ta m p i n e s M R T t o the CPF building.
The proposal consisted of tube-like blocks
that
hint
at
more
efficient
circulation paths across the site. Such a configuration allowed for users to be able to smoothly walk across the site whist being engaged in various programs; at the same time small inbetween spaces ser ve as visual cues and foster social interaction.

This group project challenged students to design a shelter for collection of rainwater using only a single plane of aluminium sheet. Our project folded the sheet several times to mimic a flying frog, and the var ying angles at which the plane was folded gave rise to interesting nuances at different points of t h e s h e l t e r.

C R E S C E N D O This project for Core Studio 2 aimed to create a learning hub in the middle of Dhoby Ghaut Green. Users would experience an increase in intensity of activity as they progressed into the site, allowing it to become the focus point among the flurr y of various activities surrounding it.

The aim of this project for the D i g i t a l Fa b r i c a t i o n m o d u l e w a s to set up an installation at a site of our choice in campus. The group wanted to create an intriguing installation that would prod passers-by to take a second look, and thus created a web of structures that made u s e o f t h e c o n c e p t o f t e n s e g r i t y.

U N I T This project for Core Studio 3 was aimed at creating a familyoriented home. This was done through the integration of public, semi-public and private spaces . These various zones were strategically placed such that users have to pass through both public and semi-public spaces to get around the house, encourgaing interaction with users of the different spaces.

C O N N E C T I O N This project aimed to create a new style of housing estate that would foster a sense of community through increasing v i s u a l a n d p h y s i c a l p r o x i m i t y. This is done through employing shared spaces right outside ever y doorstep - and the usage of movable panels to allow for a spillover of programs from inside the house to a semiprivate front porch space.
