THE TRASHGROUND Upcycling and recycling centre | Year 4 Semester 1 | 2017 Dr. Swinal Samant, JTC Research Studio
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.

Site Location 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 educationalcommercial 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.

Sectional Perspective The Recycling Facility recycles household waste from surrounding residential estates. It is supported by Upcycling Workshops and Artist Studio where waste is converted into retail products or art pieces and finally exhibited in the Exhibition Gallery. Spaces are also provided for Strat-ups, 3D printing and Prototyping with R&D support to facilitate the academia - industry collaboration and to improve waste management skills, These spaces housed in both the blocks and are linked together via skybridges located within the central atrium.

A vibrant and dynamic space is created as voids bringing in ample natural lighting while sky bridges and escalators facilitating movement of goods and people.

The Atrium The atrium serves as aspine that strategically gels the two blocks while offering the public to view into the recycling process. It it also a dynamic space which exposes and intersects various type of movements - human circulation transcend from lower levels to upper levels; recycled materials being transferred through exposed ducts and crane moving recycled goods.

13 | Back To The Nature
BACK TO THE NATURE Composting Volunteering Centre | Year 4 Semester 2 | 2018 Khoo Peng Beng Studio Back To The Nature is a composting volunteering centre siting admist the mountain and farms at Cameron Highland, Malaysia. It seeks to not only gives back to the nature in terms of its function, but also exemplifies the infinite cycle in ecosystem: decay. Through a series of burnt art making, a form of decay - densely stratified planes with curved edges - has born. It works as a regional composting centre which takes volunteers for composting and farming work, meanwhile provides them living space in return. Back To The Nature is also community engaging with composting learning spaces, exhibition space and lecture theatre which promote composting and upcycling activity at the region.

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 Woodblock Print Museum | Year 2 Semester 2 | 2016 Dr. Lilian Chee Studio Located at Sturdee Road, a quiet residential area within Jalan Besar district in Singapore, Lim Mu Hue Museum is a woodblock printing museum to showcase Singapore home grown artist Lim Mu Hue’s past works and educate the public about the art of woodblock printing. The project attempts to form a dialogue between the art of woodblock printing and the site. It is a narrative of time - the important factor in the process of wood block art making and a greater system - the nature.
Lim Mu Hue Museum | 30
Curatorial Analysis: Density, Depth, Time A series of drawings are made to identify the intangible quality in woodblock which can form a narrative that leads to a physical curatoial experience. The investigation focuses on the strokes wtih diffrent depth and density handcrafted by Lim which gives his work distinct characteristic. Each of the stroke needs different duration of time to be carved in certain depth, length and density; whereas the vary in density requires observer to take different duration of time to admire the artwork closely. The idea of time and duration is adapted and to be derived as the curatorial experience of the museum.

Site: Growth, Colonisation, Time The project is then investigating how does duration and time leave its traces on the site. It is observed that time system exists in the world of nature - in site’s context, the vegetations that grow and occupy the back alleys in Jalan Besar. Time is needed for vegetations to grow. Time is needed for trees to flower and seed according to the season. Time is needed as climbers grow and start to colonise the fence and the wall. Time is needed in weathering of buidling finishes.

First storey : Wood block print museum The museum is designed as a museum in a garden which speaks of the relationship between woodblock printing and nature system. Courtyards, small gardens and openings are inserted to bring natural sunlight, natural air and weather in. Courtyard and small gardens are also placed according to the location of existing trees.
37 | Lim Mu Hue Museum
Level 2 : Workshop and admin Office The insertion of courtyard and small gardens partially exposes the internal environment to weather and allows staining, growing of fungus and moulding to happen. These action of natur accentuates the process of decay, the evidence of time taking effect on built environment, as a mataphor to passing of time in the process of woodblock printing.
