Big Box is the biggest of the 4 Warehouse Retail Scheme (“WRS”) approved by Singapore EDB. Situated next to the busy Jurong East MRT Station and spanning a whopping 5.6ha of land area. “The Big Box - Something for Everyone” is a new concept that targets to offer a brand new shopping experience to consumers for all their home and lifestyle needs and home improvement requirements. This new concept of “Stores in Store” aims to surpass customers’ expectations by combining a wide product mix with personalized services that will not only offer great savings but also a “privileged and pampered” shopping experience to consumers.

AdvancedDesignResearchFinal Project
DementiaAustralia
This programme is to rework against the conventional institutional nursing home and mono-functional housing development in Singapore which have been deteriorating the condition of people with dementia. Rather than designing a mock-up 50's or 60's living environment for people with dementia, this project attempts to focus on the spatial experiences of the people that use the spaces / buildings, to create a strong sense of community, familiarity and identity. A domestic environment is developed with referencing to a series of familiar daily routine activities to promote independence and confidence of people with dementia , in order to evoke their memory and slow down the progress of dementia.

01 DEMOGRAPHICS In
The amount of people with dementia is increasing in parallel with the demographic of aging population in Singapore. The current institutional nursing home has hasten their deterioration and unable to create a smooth transition. The conventional architecture in Singapore is based on mono-functional building has created a lot of stand-alone communities. Consequently, these circumstances have leaded to people with dementia being devalued and marginalized from the mainstream society. By accessing from this social context, this project aims to create a new urban typology which inform an inclusive design for people with dementia as well as benefit a greater range of mixed-age users.
OUTCOME
An integrated development for people with dementia to support their continuation of living in an sustainable and engaging environment.
EARLY MID LATE
CONTEXT
Design Research Enquiry (DRI) Architecture can generate a sustainable built environment to facilitate inclusion and living support for people with dementia in the mainstream society. A bottomup design approach to compose the need of dementia-friendly environment in a growing densification while preserving the traditional community spirits. 2030, 1 in every 10 elderly will be suffering from dementia. 6.9 residentsmillion 900,000 senior citizen 10% of them will be suffering from dementia Community Challenge of Care Isolation for different levels of care to prevent witnessing their gradually no-cure progress. Spending enough time in nature and outdoor exercises to slow down the progress of deteriotation.

A pilot project initiated by Launceston City Council (2013) has developed a set of Play Space Strategy for Future Public Space in Launceston. The aim is to provide a good quality, well designed play space to achieve a balanced mix of both existing tradition and new natural play
Architecture and Autism Spectrum Disorder
One of the ideal locations with least amount of distractions from adjacent traffic, less crowded and provide greater control over sensory input. The natural open and spatial park provides opportunity for nature-based play and rough-andtumble play.

Existing John Hart Conservatory has potential to become a horticultural therapy area. Gardening activities can help children familiar with different colour, smell, texture in a nature environment. It also provides opportunity to develop communication skills, social interaction.
The park is fenced and contained which prevents children from straying outside the play area’s boundary, ensuring a safe and easy-to-control environment, particularly when a child having tantrum.
There are ample shaded areas in the park which suitable for photosensitive autism children.
Launcestonfeatures.city has very few playground equipment or interesting play spaces. The main places for children are parks and formal playgrounds. Current playground in City Park is an inviting and utilised place for children and family to spend time in weekend.

05 DIAGRAMMATIC PROPOSAL - A TOOLKIT TO CONNECT WITH PUBLIC
The existing duck pond has the potential to provide a mixture of function by interconnecting with water play facility.
NATURE-BASED PLAY
family area / gathering basednature-play activeplay zonequiet existing equipmentplay playwater
Surrounded by more high and dense trees, facing automobile museum and vacant lands
FAMILY AREA / GATHERING
Implement new sensory play equipment to interconnect with existing playground
STRUCTURED / ACTIVE PLAY
A place for parents of children with autism can gather and relax around the cafe here.
A series of new sensory integration activities can be threaded into the existing play spaces based on diverse play themes and types of play as highlighted :
Potential to develop active play space, or structured games that involve bigger groups. Children can bring their own toys to play with others. Seating and social play can be located in between quiet zone and active zone to provide a smooth transition between activities. Children can observe other peers playing before they are ready to participate.
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
Existing topography with natured slope provides opportunity to integrated play objects seamless together with this free-flowing landscape, utilise the slope to provide a tiered seating area.
