INUJIMA FARM STAY

Architecture Repurposing SUSTAINABLE DESIGN OPTION STUDIO Site_Inujima, Okayama Japan Mentor_Asami Takahashi (Takahashilim A+D) An eco tourism destination that allows local and international tourists to expierience the rural lifestyle, revolving around subsitence farming. Visitors get a hands on experience with the cultivation and harvesting of fruits and vegetables for their own meals. This experience is tied together with them learning old traditions and artforms. The guests will be staying in a farm village that will help them experience traditional architecture elements and reinterpretations of the japanese techniques of articulating spaces.

INUJIMA MAP Water Bodies Building of Interest Abandoned Houses Area of Interest

Out of the various abandoned houses available, I chose this house and developed the farm village based on it, as I felt it was important that the house retained the element of the shoji screen typically seen in traditional Japanese houses. The use of the shoji screen helps to regulate the building according the time of day and seasons by closing and opening the sliding doors. Thus, I chose to retain majority of the structure, but to remove the interior partitions that were non structural in order to open the space, converting it to a main meeting room/ function room. I preserved the elements of the shoji screen, so the building remains adaptable and I took this element and applied it to the whole village extension as it was something I appreciated from this traditional style of architecture. The rest of the village was created in careful considerations to the scale of the abandoned house and the spatial arrangement of traditional Japanese houses.

PROGRAMME AREA

The farm village was created to foster a small community that hosts a variety of spaces that cater to the functions of the program. The spaces are connected through a central spine, an adaptation of the Japanese engawa, aka veranda that serves as a mediating space from the internal to external environment unit houses 4 female guest and the last 4 male guests.

Inspired by the material palette of Inujima and its rich history in copper refinery, I wanted to introduce this material as it builds deep character as it patinas overtime as seen from old temples and statues. The colour pallet of brown, turquoise and blue similarly resembles that of Inujima landscape.

MIX-USE RESIDENTIAL Architecture Core Studio 3 Site_Punggol Mentor_Jane Chua (Plural) The project attempts to bring back the idea of what it means to being in a neighbourhood into Punggolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern estate. This is done by bridging the various communities of people that is currently dimished in the new public housing estate. The

Various apartment types cater to the many needs of the neighbourhood residences. Red spaces are more intimately shared areas where as yellow areas are the more public communal spaces

The terraced area becomes the connecting tissue vertically across residences, it provides oppotunity for urban farming at your doorstep and circulation around the residency. The roof area also will feature a wide array of apartment facilities

CONDUITS

MEDITATION SPACE Architecture Core Studio 2 Site_One-north Mentor_Carlos Banon (Subarquitectura) 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.

WIND STRUCTURE

ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURES Digital Design and Fabrication (collaborative) Mentor_Stylianos Dritsas & Sam Conrad Joyce 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: Sorting of Logistics Digitally

PARAMETRIC FEATURE WALL

INTERIOR DESIGN (realized) Architecture Internship Site_ACJ Maternity Clinic Mentor_Neo Sei Hwa (TENarchitects) Client_ACJ 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, this value was used to translate the curve of the fin in z direction. The result is a non linear variation in height, breaking the predictability of the feature wall. 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

HOBBIES 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.
