I have always been interested in the intersecting fields of science and arts throughout my years of schooling and realised architecture was a nice mix of both worlds. I now have the joy of studying both of them together. I am currently in my final year studying Architecture and Sustainable Design (ASD) at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and hope to be able to design and practice sustainably for the future of Singapore one day. Particulary, I wish to study and delve into the realm of social architecture.

Softwares: Rhino 6, Grasshopper, ANSYS Fluent, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
This studio is part of the Living Labs initiative, which is a research collaboration between SUTD and Changi General Hospital (CGH). While addressing the overall theme of healthcare, we will respond to a specific challenge—to design responsive healing spaces. The studio will be geared towards developing design proposals for a medical facility that can be rapidly deployed in response to emerging needs. It will be an extension or annex to a hospital that is constructed on a greenfield site. In this regard, the studio will be working closely with CGH to better understand the requirements and operation of medical spaces through arranged site visits and inputs from medical professionals. The proposals will be based on pneumatic architecture systems, which are naturally lightweight and adaptable.

context
Many patients require an additional period of recuperation and medical observation after receiving treatment for acute medical conditions. The number of these sub-acute inpatients and outpatients can fluctuate greatly, especially during a pandemic, highlighting the need for a quickly deployable and configurable care facility.
concept description
This project seeks to provide a space like home for healing in the context of a sub-acute care facility. To do so, it integrates the flexibility of modular inflated arch structures set in nature together with humidity and ventilation control that crafts comfortable and safe environments.

The directionality and speed of prevailing winds in Singapore can be tracked over 4 monsoon seasons in a year. To optimise windflow throughout the length of the module, the mobile wards can be moved and rotated to 3 different positions, switching every 3 months. By doing so, the changes in wind speed and direction throughout the year are accounted for to ensure an appropriate wind speed within the facility throughout.

Spring 2021 (Feb-May) | Term 7 Core Studio 3: Superdiversity
information
Softwares: Rhino 6, Revit, Enscape, Ladybug, Adobe Illustrator
SUTD Core 3 Housing studio seeks to uncover Singapore’s new forms of diversity that has inevitably emerge from the island’s connectivity with the wider world. Collectively, the studio aims to unravel the current simplistic understanding of ethnic and racial categories that is reinforced by media, policy and spatial constructs. Embracing superdiversity that arise from constantly evolving social circumstances, the studio imagines new forms of heterogeneity in housing, and extends the complexity of architectural design challenges to the issues of urban integration and human habitation.
project description
Academia Tower: Floating Study Platforms
superdiversity concept
HabitatM superdiversity housing aims to bring diversity into living through the design of public spaces that enables and fosters interaction between four distinct clusters of people- Academia, Sports, Creatives and Expatriates. This vertical village is further segmented by unit size with units ranging from micro to 4 room through PPCV implementation. Units are easily scalable and is flexible to cater to small space seekers who prefer efficient housing up to multi-generational families and anticipates growing ones too. Another key feature of this project are the urban windows that represent key points where mingling between clusters are best facilitated.
Urban Window: Floating ‘Chillax’ Pods
Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC)
PPVC brings about options for faster, lower cost construction and most importantly for this developement, ultra flexibility. Agglomeration of different numbers of modules gives different sized dweeling units catering to various family sizes, arrangement of modules results in different advantageous unit layouts, and module displacement results in precious nooks and common spaces for neighbourly interactions. 1 P P VC MO D U L E

Softwares: Rhino 6, Grasshopper, Ladybug, Ansys Discovery Live, Lumion, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
The Articulated Landscape studio explores performative qualities of organizational patterns in the vertical. By viewing the city as a systemic network of relationships, this studio explores new design strategies to engage with the surrounding urban and green systems and transform these concepts into a vertical articulated landscape as new urban typology grounded in social and environmental sustainability. My team has chosen to design a naturally cooled mixed-used building whereby wind is the primary driving force behind our design. Through the utilisation of passive cooling strategies applied to the macro scale (form) and down to the micro scale (interior), the end product would be an integrated, sustainable vertical village that greatly reduces energy consumption from air condition usage.
project description
concept description
A typical household energy consumption profile shows that air-conditioners account for the largest proportion of the total electricity consumption. Our design seeks to utilise passive cooling strategies to create a comfortable natural environment for its users. The goal would be to maximise wind entering our building from the macro scale, all the way to the micro scale. Apart from harnessing wind, secondary strategies of sun shading and circulation through ground articulation was also be included to achieve a holistic cooling strategy. N

Building faces perpendicular to the dominant NNE wind. Ends of building extend towards the main access points providing a sheltered pathway for both residents and passer-bys.
Wind is now redirected nearer towards the sides where there is greater shade by the building.
Creating a well ventilated space at ground level for activities to take place.
Since the redirection of wind is mainly required at ground level, offsets are introduced such that both buildings converge towards each other to create a connecting pathway. This also help to increase shade at ground level.

Fall 2020 (Oct) | Term 6 Option Studio 1 Short Exercise: Spatial Formalization information
Softwares: Rhino 6, Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator
Formalization, as a method for architectural design, can be expressed through a rule-based geometric system utilizing computational design methods. This exercise will focus on rule-based design strategies in the 3rd dimension applying the thinking of articulated ground and manipulation of surfaces. As explained in the example “Rolex Learning Center”, the formalized design approach was to generate a topological configuration, which is influenced by the translation of topographical local phenomenon into a built land-scape. The topic of light, introducedthrough a sequence of light wells, interacts with the undulated generated spaces, activating not only the interior, but supporting a fluid interaction with the surrounding.
4 project description
concept description
For this exercise, I was interested in exploring the idea of creating ‘interior horizons’ through the manipulation of surfaces as influenced by the local topological phenomenon. By breaking the user’s line of sight through ground elevations and depressions, interior horizons are created giving rise to a sense of endlessness and largeness of space. Based on this concept, I envisioned a library that has pockets of spaces in the ground that differ in size and privacy for different uses.

MaRS HEADQUARTER Proto-cemetary
information Spring 2020 (Feb - May) | Term 5 Core Studio 2 : Proto-cemetary (VR) Softwares: Rhino 6, Grasshopper, Unreal Engine 4, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator project description This studio relies on “world-building” to determine the type of architecture and of community to work with, and so the type and temporalities of the funerary ritual, its architectonic. I designed the MaRS headquarter as a protocemetery for people of the the future. Traditional funerary rituals have been replaced with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) alternatives as a more intimate and revoluntionary way of remembering the dead. A place where the ritual and memories are experienced both physically and in the virtual realm by visitors, transition between worlds must be well articulated using spaces.
concept description
Axonometric drawing of program distributions
For this project, I made use of a series of ramps as my main operation in crafting the programmatic spaces. The spaces are split into different floors based on their functions- foyer, private and public VR pods, data archive center, lounge, offices, marketplaces and cafes. The cemetery is mainly visited by 2 types of users - the deceased before they die and family of the deceased after he dies. In both cases, users follow a specific antemortem and postmortem rituals respectively and takes specific routes. Hence, the spaces are also designed according to the paths each user will take. Finally space frames are incooperated to give coherance to the spaces as well as structural support.

Fall 2019 (Oct - Dec) | Term 4 Core Studio 1 : MoMA Satellite Singapore Softwares: Rhino 6, Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator
project description
The studio postulates that the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York is opening a satellite in Singapore. The mission of MoMA is to connect individuals to modern art- radical and innovative movements that define the ways we conceive and understand our contemporary world. Extending a satellite location to Singapore would enable the engagement of this mission to Asia’s unique geopolitical, material and cultural productions of art. The design will focus on the performative aspects of architecture, looking carefully at the mediation of traffic, sequences and transitions, light, structure, atmosphere and the environment.
concept description
This museum is designed to provide spacious porous spaces as well as closed private spaces to cater to different exhibition needs of artists. The porosity which is achieved by ‘carving out’ volumes (which are aligned to three major axes) from both the ground and an initial mass of building, provides pathways into the museum, spacious performance and exhibition spaces as well as opportunities for visual accessibility to different views of the city for occupants.

Fall 2019 (Sept) | Term 4 Core Studio 1 Short Exercise Softwares: Rhino 6, Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator
This project considers resolving a cottage through the geometric encounter of a square, a circular and triangular form. The challenge is the study of this combinatorial analysis with multiple forms of how to solve the building with the freedom of choosing the size of the geometric bodies. By organising the three basic volumes, we will explore, using just basic geometric operations, how to address circulation, visual continuity or fragmentation, different levels of intimacy and privacy, amongst others.

My concept is to design a lakeside cottage where families can stay over the weekend for a short getaway. The tranquility offered by the calm lakes is perfect for those who seek a retreat and my design will emphasize on this. Not only will the cottage offer great views of the lake, parts of it will extend over the water. Additonally, my design will allow the lake to be a usable space as well throught he use of floating platform for purposes such as lounging, barbequing and gathering. 1. Grid of iterations

Drawing a Green Future: Fundementals of Visual Representation and Creativity information Summer break 2019 Landscape Architecture Mediums: Pencil, Charcoal, Watercolour project description
This introductory landscape architecture studio course explores the process of drawing as a method to learn how to perceive, observe and represent the environment. This studio encourages visual thinking as a formative tool for problem solving that provides a means to envision a sustainable future with focus on the critical coordination between hand, mind and idea. Through various forms of presentations such as 10ft x 10ft installations, Kamishibai (Japanese street theatre) , posters, and models, I was allowed to hone my technical drawing skills while developing various site analysis skills. The projects also allowed me to ponder of various types of sustainability issues seen today and come up with ways to shed light on it or tackle it by implementing various solutions, all of which are impotant precursor for entering Architecture.
project 1: making the invsible, visible.
project 2: mapping the environment
An installation that took place at Blake Garde near campus, my partner and I decided to __ on how artefacts displayed in musuems are often taken out of context, depriving the audience of the opportunity to understand them in full.

project 3: place and storytelling
Recounting my youth spent with my late grandma and told through the story of a bubbleheaded girl finding her way back to her traditional hakka roots. Presented as a kamishibai.
project 4: resilience by design
Through site analysis of sun/ wind patterns, human circulation and behaviour, we identitied one social issue to tackle through an installation we were to design. I identified the severe lack of human interaction in a place as lively as the university campus, and design a interactive installation for people to speak from their heart to one another, as strangers.
