DIVERGENCE
“ The portfolio DIVERGENCE speaks of my personal journey in the world of design - a diverted path from landscape architecture to architecture, a leap from polytechnic to university, a process of enlightenment from acquiring technical skills to developing conceptual understanding. DIVERGENCE presents my exploration in architecture since the year 2014, after my completion in Diploma in Landscape Architecture. It is an ongoing process, which I would never put a full stop on any day of my life.�

The Trashground
The Trashground is a recycling-upcycling centre which celebrates the waste recycling/upcycling process which usually could not be seen. In this project, these processes are brought to the fore with the objective of creating community awareness and engagement while promoting research, creativity and innovation in waste management.
The recycling-upcycling centre celebrates the hidden potential of waste as a resource by providing an integrated work-learn-play facility where creativity and innovation of recycled/upcycled products would educate, empower and bring together communities within a regenerative ecosystem.

The building is located between Jurong West Ave 2 & the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) to form an important gateway to the JID. Given its visually prominent location, the educational-commercial hub was also envisioned as an urban spectacle to invite, engage and entertain the surrounding and the wider community.
DESIGN STRATEGIES With spatial use being broadly categorised as industrial and commercial, the spaces were split into two distinctive blocks. The block facing the PIE focusses primarily on industrial use and the other facing inwards, bordering the Elevated Deck and Light Rail, encompasses community functions.

The sculpted interface between the blocks takes the form of a large, cavernous, atrium street to form strong visual and functional linkages between the two parts. While the industrial requirements for the recycling facility renders relative rigidity and opacity to the block, the communal block is conceived as a porous mass that engages with the public movement on both, ground and its elevated levels.

COMMUNE+COMMUTE Living, community and transportation hub | Year 3 Semester 2 | 2017 Lee Tat Haur Studio Situated at Queen Street, Bugis, the project is a mixed use development that consists of a short term accommodation facility integrated with various amenities for the community and public. Existing Queen Street bus terminal is retained for its historical value and its importance as a transportation node for bus service between Singapore and Johor. While retaining the identity of the site as a significant bus terminal for the last 3 decades, the injection of short term accommodation especially for the Malaysian working adults and various public amenities is an attempt to respond to the surrounding context which consists of Rochor Canal - the water body, public housing, offices, commercial activities and school, as well as foreseeable growth in housing population and increase in commercial development based on the group Master Plan.

DESIGN STRATEGY: COMMUNITY SPINE Community spine is a series of public spaces that encircles around the center core and ascends in an hierarchy from a highly public space at level 1 to a targeted community space – a community kitchen at the top level. It is an eventful journey where meeting with different groups of people and social interaction among the community are made possible.

LIM MU HUE MUSEUM Block Printing Art Museum | Year 2 Semester 2 | 2016 Dr. Lilian Chee Studio
Located at Sturdee Road, a quiet residential area within Jalan Besar district, Lim Mu Hue Museum is a wood bock printing museum showcasing Singapore home grown artist Lim Mu Hue’s past work. It is also a learning centre which engages the community in wood block art.
The museum anchored itself by creating a dialogue in between the art pieces and the site surrounding. The museum tells a narrative of time and duration the important factor in the process of wood block art creation, and also the system of natural processes found on the site.
Exhibition space with a central courtyard.

CURATORIAL ANALYSIS: DENSITY, DEPTH, TIME As the starting point of design, a series of drawings are made to investigate the relationship between the artist work and the museum’s curatoial experience. The analysis draw reference from the various density of strokes in Lim’s work and attempt to derive an architectural language which speaks of density, depth and time.
Lim Mu Hue Museum
SITE: GROWTH, COLONIZATION, TIME Time is the vital element that allow wood block art with different density to be fully apprciated. Art needs time. The same quality is found within the nature element at Jalan Besar. Vegetation need to be taken care of, and the act of taking care requires time. Flowering and seeding of trees is telling about season and time. Climbers need time to colonise the fence and the wall. Another aspect of nature, which is weather, leaves its traces on wall by staining the finishing layer. Nature needs time too. The site study is an investigation of the relationship between nature and time, then how nature affect the spaces as time passes.
