M.ARCH THESIS
thesis abstract Anthropogenic climate change has plagued the world with extreme precipitation which leads to catastrophic flash floods, causing widespread fear and casualties while costing the global economy US$82 billion thus far. This problem is amplified in Singapore, a tropical country with naturally abundant rainfall and expensive grey infrastructure that is steadily getting bettered by the worsening rain.
Sponge cities are landscaped solutions comprising of lush vegetation that naturally retains and filters rainwater. This solution culminates in picturesque wetlands that serve as an alternative stormwater management solution and relief to lifeless, water polluted cities in China. This thesis will examine the verticalization of sponge cities into sponge buildings as an urban architectural solution in Singapore where land is scarce and natural landscape solutions are almost maximized. It seeks to explore where the optimal intersection between engineering and ecology lies, to design a building that is capable of sustainably harvesting, treating and reusing rainwater whilst orchestrating a rain centered sensory experience for visitors.

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. project description
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.
descriptionconceptcontext
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.
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.

During periods of low velocity wind below 2 m/s, selected membranes can be unzipped to create another opening, increasing wind velocity within the facility. Likewise, when faced with high wind velocity above 5 m/s, the membrane can be zipped back up.
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 and direction throughout the year are accounted for to ensure an appropriate wind speed within the facility throughout.

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
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.

PPVC brings about options for faster, lower cost construction and most importantly for flexibility. Agglomeration of different numbers of modules gives different sized dweeling units catering to family sizes, arrangement of modules results in different advantageous unit layouts, and displacement results precious neighbourly interactions.

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
A typical household energy consump tion 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 nat ural 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.

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. project description
For this exercise, I was interested in exploring the idea of creating ‘interi or horizons’ through the manipulation of surfaces as influenced by the lo cal 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 con cept, I envisioned a library that has pockets of spaces in the ground that differ in size and privacy for different uses. level level level

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 specif ic 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.

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. 2019 (Oct - Dec)

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. project description
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.

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.
