01 MANIFEST DESTINY

Manifest Destiny is a project to experiment the authorship of the city, suggesting an alternative connecting device among existing urban grain, increase the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interconnectedness, changing the way we occupy forgotten spaces in increasingly dense urban area and learning from the results of having a network of elevated symbiotic structures, with the hope that we can rethink relationships and connectivity within the city.

01 MANIFEST DESTINY

2015 M.Arch Major Project Royal Melbourne Institute Technology

This project begins with the investigation on how parasitic architecture, instead of feeding on host & accelerate decaying process could bring the city closer? Parasitic organisms as we know only bring harm to its host but we should also know that parasites have beneficial talents that we could learn. Characteristics and nature of parasitic organisms are investigated and extracted out. As the consequent, I am particularly interested in its ability to take advantage of its host, absorbing

nutrients and the aptitude for attaching wherever suits their preferences. The early stage of this project uses parasite as metaphor and as it expanded, the metaphor evolves in order to focus on allowing for alternative methods of interconnecting the city, on constructability and functions of the new structures might allow. The nature of this project begins with speculative idea about how cities might evolve but the outcome is more propositional.

02 JAMA’AH CITY

2014/2015 B.Arch Architectural Design 7 International Islamic University

What is Jama’ah city? Jama’ah city is the city which is the place of settlement for Muslims and non-muslim to carry their daily activities congregationally according to the Islamic teaching. The concept of Jama’ah City is to create a city that allow people congregate and strengthen their unity. The main aspect in Jama’ah City in Kuala Terengganu is to highlight the role of Masjid as a community centre and bringing back the activities around the masjid. This brought Kuala Terengganu back to the time when trade and business were large economic provider towards local people.

03 ART GARDEN

Located between Pavillion and KLCC, this mall has to break the chain of being another generic shopping mall. As KL blooms to be a developed city, everything revolves around commercial. As the consequence, the city is losing its lush greeneries and people had to trade public space for bigger buildings and taller towers. This project attempts to beat the heat by injecting series of green pockets and open public space. Day to day, we

see a lot of emerging young talents. In response to that, the mall will be their new show-ground or testing ground. The top floor, where the new ‘playground’ is, provides security from traffic to begin with; has its own mini orchard awaiting for urban dwellers to come and pick their own fresh fruits, pop-up stalls for independent tenants who are just about to kick start their small business. ‘Balik kampung’ and ‘pasar malam’ in a mall? Why not.

04 TURANGAWAEWAE

For the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Marae is space that provides a focus for each community. Connected to the concept of Turangawaewae, which translates as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a place to standâ&#x20AC;?, the Marae is a place of connection to both landscape and ancestry. It is a place of debate, support, celebration and mourning. This project explores how such a place could be designed outside of

Design process involves a series of testing in terms of approach, form making and interpretation of Marae elements. The approaches are architecture of elsewhere, architecture

06 INCUBATOR

This a collaborative drawing project, where two robots come together to create a drawing on a roll of butter paper. One is a clumsy robotic arm powered by four hobby servos and made up of acrylic parts, and the other is a singular, bipolar stepper motor that turns at 1.8 degrees with each step. Together, they attempt to help their human draw out creative ideas in his/her time of need. The two robots rely on the Arduino board, an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It is envisioned for anyone of any age level making interactive projects. Given the Arduinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to develop interactive projects while communicating with software running on the computer, it provides the opportunity to develop a sketch and/or code that can tell the robots what to do. This elective provides exposure towards advance architecture, robots, coding, programming language, 3D printing using strong and flexible plastic, Arduino, MeshLab and 3D Coat.
