PORTFOLIO

AW ZHEN WEN JADE

I am a Nanyang Polytechnic architecture student. My fascination in architecture began when I was a child, attracted by buildings around me and I enjoyed the process house renovation. When I studied Civil Structural & Engineering Design at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), my interest in design and architecture grew even more. As a result, I enrolled in poly pursue my interest in architecture.

My education exposed me to a wide range of knowledge and project responsibilities. I am confident in my abilities to sketch ideas, construct models, and work with CAD and other 3D modeling tools. I appreciate working in groups with my classmates and consulting with my lecturers on projects to obtain a better grasp of the topic and assure its completion. As a result, the collaborative effort taught me a great deal.

I signed up for School of Design’s events to participate in activities outside of school hours. I’ve worked part-time since ITE, which has helped me improve my time management abilities. I also joined in the SIA YAL mentorship program. This gave me a good understanding of an architect work life. As a result, I am hopeful that my internship would give me new prospects for learning and knowledge of architecture.

REGENERATIVE MEMORIAL PARK

This project challenges the ordinary way of life as it integrates a memorial space and a new way of burial in the neighborhood of Mountbatten, Singapore. The proposal allows the living to reminisce by planting herbs in the name of the deceased, foster memories by making candle to honor the dead and preserve the essence by scattering ashes. In return, the planted herbs serves to feed and nourish the community while the remains undergo a series of technologically advanced processing that produces oxygen - a sign of rebirth, rising from ashes. It also allows the community in the neighborhood to foster memories of Mountbatten with their loved ones within the landscape without being stigmatised.

TWILIGHT FISHING ACADEMY

Twilight Fishing Academy, which is located in Siglap Victoria School, is an architecture with a concept that includes both day and night activities. It acts as an educational academy for students during the day and a fishing port for the surrounding community at night. The objective for this project is to enable a new way of life in which students and members of the community learn about sustainable fishing and breed fishes in the architecture themselves in order to give back to the community for night fishing activities.

THE TREASURED RESEVIOR 3 |

Accelerating climate change has placed Singapore on the verge of becvoming a deserted island in this year of the twenty-second centrury. Due to the lack of water caused by exterme heat, many people died and others fled the nation, leaving only a small group of surviors to relive the kampung lifestyle. The last resvior with rich minerals is the community’s only source of water. This attracts invaders to steal water and sqaunder it. In which, the community beigns to adapt to a scorpion’s survival and prey

DIGITAL MODELLING & ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULATION 5

Digital modelling and environmental stimulation involves creating architectural designs with 3D Rhino software and utilizing environmental stimulation to improve the visualization of the surrounding area.

STIMULATION

ZOBEIDE CABIN

Haiku: Towering pine tree, echoing the fog of hope, confine spread arcade

The project’s chosen city served as its inspiration, and it provided the opportunity to express our imagination through the writing of haiku about how we picture this place. I was inspired to make this cabin by the haiku I composed while reading the book. In my perspective, this city is a perpetual trap where a bunch of hopeless romantics think there’s hope for everything even when there isn’t.

CONCPET MODELS
