Center of Gravity ARCHITECTURE CORE STUDIO 1
Sports complex located at Eng Choon Hway Kuan building, 105 Amoy Street
This idea was to design a recreational centre in a shop house unit with a given set of facility requirements. Given a defined space alongside the requirements, this lead to the formation of negative spaces and the utilization of these spaces was a challenge

Third floor / 1:100 I approached this design by introducing a strong central core that penetrates the entire infrastructure in order to facilititate a vertical courtyard. This was intended to gravitate users around a single area to facilitate interaction of the same space through multiple perspectives. This decision led to the stacking of the facilities in a manner that enables a large volume of space at the foyer; inviting people to this social environment.

To further emphasize the central space, the usage of a skylight streams light down to the core. The combination of angled window slits and screens filter the light at an angle that is directed to this central space. All of which aims to pull people’s to the attention to the site. For this model, I experimented with the usage of alternative building methods such as 3d printing. Although printing the circular core did pose its challenges, however, it had shown stellar results after touching up the print. Due to the accuracy provided by a 3D printer and its ability to make a curved surface, this method proved to be a useful tool in my case.
02 Diffusion
ARCHITECTURE CORE STUDIO 3 Procedural forms COLLABORATIVE WORK
Breaking away from any site context, we explored the means of diffusion as a form generation tool. Instead of directly translating these forms, we explored what these spatial characteristics might mean when understood. By varying different parameters , varied forms, relationships and spaces are created.

03 CONDUITS ARCHITECTURE CORE STUDIO 2 Spaces for meditation in One-North
In this excercise I attempted to follow a fixed set of design choices that are guided by the geometry of the form I created. In order to do this, my form that I initially created had to be reparameterised into a linear shape. The site given was a large plot of sloped land with a dense collection of trees at the west end of it. Flanked by two tall buildings, this casted shadows onto the site. By using this information I then guided the initial form.
Geometric progression Logic
Sec�on AA’ The end result was a series of conduits that funnels natural lightings at various angles and depths in order to create various lighting conditions, altering the ambience of the space created.

04 WIND STRUCTURE
COMBINED DIGITAL DESIGN AND FABRICATION & ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURES COLLABORATIVE WORK
This assignment task was to create the tallest and lightest wooden structure within our capabilities that interacted with the wind. Our structure was designed to be thin and tapered towards the top, to reach a greater height whilst minimizing the overal mass.Our design also included the idea of easing our fabrication difficulty. The structure is segmented into 5 modules that can be assembled and disassembled easily by the use of botls and nuts between modules. Our assembly plan involved joining the upper modules, followed by the subsequent modules by lifting up the already joint upper modules. However, on the day itself our structure was assembeld horizontally and pivoted to the vertical stance.
We organised our fabrication process into 6 different phases. 1. Sorting of Logistics Digitally 2. Wood processing
(Steps 1-5)
3. Construction of Rings
(Steps 6-7)
4. Construction of Modules
(Steps 8-16)
5. Refining Modules 6. String Installation

PArametric Feature wall
ARCHITECTURAL INTERNSHIP ACJ Maternity Clinic
As part of the renovation of this maternity clinic, the clients wanted a unique feature wall that was part of their practice. Following this idea i decided to take inspiration from their Cardiotocography (CTG) scan and used it to form the amplitude on the fins.
With the use of grasshopper, the amplitude of the CTG scan (on the left), was extracted and and values were then exponentially raised and this number was used to translate the curve of the fin in z direction. This gave a non linear variation in height, breaking the predictability of the feature wall giving it a greater depth of experience. The fins were arranged into 20 regular fins and 92 unique fins. These were then CNC milled and assembled at a distance of 25mm apart

HANDICRAFT / FIGURINE PAINTING I have big interest in handicraft work and 3D printing models. Works here are not my 3D designs, but the finishing and painting of the models are of my own work.
