Ponder and Amplify
We picked two verbs, “Ponder and Amplify”, for our design conceptualisition.
We then filmed a series of videos that relates to the words “Ponder and Amplify”. I picked 10 frames of the video compilation that I have found most interesting.
The creation of the photomontage are then made with the forms being connected. i saw a form that resembles the “Fibonacci Sequence” and decided to go with that form and arrange the photos that way.

Final Design for Expedia Group
The people of the public can climb the stairs to the series of resting space where they could sit, rest or take a break from shopping.
They will then be exposed to the space down below where there is a television that plays Expedia Group’s latest addition to the company.
That being the cultural project which targets to educate as many as possible about the various culture that exists around the globe.
Expedia Group is a travel company that has numerous global connections. Cultural Appropriation is prevalent in today’s society and some tourists disrespect the people of the country they are visiting. Since Expedia Group is related to tourism, I wanted to market the importance of being respectful to every culture.

Type: Sculptural Model
This model is a representation of all of my research for Studio 4. The foliage represents the plant and if you look through the organic looking window, you could only see the plants. The other side of the window itself is decorated with litter and pollution which you are not see when looking through the other side and the organic-looking window represents the workers who work hard in keeping the city slice clean so that we can enjoy ourselves when visiting the space.
The model shapes are inspired by the data collected which helped me put it together as the outlines that I was able to record gave me interesting results as well as simultaneously helping me understand what my slice is really about.
I came to the conclusion that my slice is a city of collision as all 5 elements co-exist with one another and

Ideation of making a Parasytic Architecture
The idea I had was to make a fungi, more specifiacally, “Fern Fiddlehands”, evolve into a being with consciousness and making them as smart as humans.
The structure I designed is their parasytic lair that has been attached to Singapore’s Art Science Museum to absorb its energy.
There are multiple wires going all over the place as i wanted to give the impression of it being an oraganised mess not done by humans but instead, another life from.
I wanted to give the viewer of the abstrcat sculptural model a sense of surrealism.
