Odyssey : Linear Incremental Dwelling October - February 2020 , Studio SA 6 Tutor : Lee Weoi Min ,Lim Wei ling , Low CJ , Tan Micheal, Liu Jie Hong, Jashir
We are possibly connected by inherited memories in blood through generations in time. The studies of genetic memory and similarly a concept originally defined by psychoanalyst Carl Jung termed as collective unconscious, suggest that memories could be inherited from the past.

3 Description It is a social housing concept for the residents of Bukit Ho Swee , Singapore . the project, which is called “ Linear Incremental Dwelling “ , seeks to combine two opposing ideas: standardization and individuality. Where its idea is to create a housing complex that is economic to build and affordable to users, the proposal integrates elements of standardization, repetition, homogeneity and modularity. on the other hand, to address the issue of individuality, the project also affords differentiation and democratization of the design by the creation of pluralistic architectural types. 4 Gurus of Bukit Ho Swee :

Concept As the name of the project suggests, The project have compounded these two ideas of by using party walls through a tectonic system of segmentation and redistribution of land to the future users, the party walls simultaneously make space for the modification of the individual properties.
Walkway as structure
Incremental based on time + needs
Host + Feeder Relation = Community rejuvination
the design is composed of 7 parallel reinforced concrete walls. these walls define a series of micro-properties (row-housing typology) that in turn provide a multitude of house typologies. the individual residencies are formed as infills of the empty in-between space. the light, low-cost metal structure allows for adaptations and transformations according to the changing needs of its residents. this ‘party wall – infill’ system provides a sustainable social program where private residencies can be co-shaped by their owners or adapted in time as needed, thus amplifying the idea of the pluralistic city.

Programme Highly Autonnomous , Incremental housing Architecture that adapts based on time and needs of its citizens on an underutilised existing car park at 96 Havelock road , Singapore. This programme aims to reveal how spaces can change in a month , year , or a decade based on one’s rituals and common practices. The measurement is done through the pockets of air spaces acting as a reflection of time , Hence , it aims to showcase and create an independent Architecture by giving power back to the people where the the internal , becomes externalised.

Massing Iteration / Studies Research question : How does the spatial planning dictate how we live as a resident ?
Massing type 1 - 4 studies how the placement of incremental residental units can be placed and applied on an existing car park. From the massing test conducted , the best iteration of a incremental hosuing typology is a “ hybrid” of having both residental and services sharing the same floor plate . With the residental functioning as a secondary layer “ wrapping “ the services area. On top of that , this model also minimise circulation problems compared to the rest as the services are better evenly distributed upwards with supporting infrastructure like ramps instead of vertical lifts.

Programme Iteration/ Studies Research question : How does programmes co- exist ?
4 different iteration types based on the type of basic services. The chosen iteration places the bottom most floor as the incenerator area, followed by Cleaning facility , then Velodrome and last but not least bird singing area at the top for recreation.
