neu • n e u k ö l l n Forms of Industrial Intervention and Transformation of the Manufacturing Platform in Neukölln, Berlin

Architectural Master Thesis First Advisor: BAR Architekten (Antje Buchholz & Jürgen Patzak-Poor) Second Advisor: Joris Fach Berlin, Germany 2018 Historic buildings give neighborhoods their distinct character and at the same time provide a tangible connection to the past. However, their history and that of their settings are often ignored and not honored as part of our cultural heritage. As cities face fast rapid growth, the infill expansions for abandoned industrial sites become more and more attractive to the development community. These sites are usually centrally located in large cities such as Berlin The studio focuses on realizing a new platform for the manufacturing prototypes through the example of Berlin City, where its rapid physical and social transformation takes place. The approach will be to study the notion of everyday in the todays, where work and living condition overlaps, creating a new kind of culture integration and platforms for exchange.

The building of intervention is located at the center of the site, providing a series of spaces for artistic creation

The site entrances are open up into various pedestrain and vehicle pathway, merging communities together through the strip

An extension of living component at the end os the site, tying also the local residents and workers within a productive and living environment

Cutouts in potential site landscape has the opportunity where users are able to spill into an informal lounge space

New Kernel Old Shell

The studio offers a series of working environments, creating the opportunity to insert one of the case study - TAP into the experimental artist's workplace

Floor plan are flexible and ready to be utilised by any artist to takeover the blank canvas. The undulating roof structure with its window at the top fills the room with soft daylight, floor spans and high ceilings also provides for large art installations to take form

The workshop provides a maltitude of machinery and also office desks for digital designing within another large space of quality daylight. Soft partitions are made with the placement of benches and furnitures

Integrated Infill

Benches and trees are strategically imposed along the 'strip', blannk walls also act as the canvas for various art exhibitions

Variations of ground finish material allows for a sense of exploration and also create a subtle area separation for the user

The raised island creates a form of leveling and a natural space of relaxation as well as physically defining axes of movement along the site

These features combined create a new urban environment, an open and progressive space to be utilised for communal interaction

interaction x permeability Nominee of Lars Lerup - First Year Best Studio Project Architectural Design Studio First Advisor: Sam Chermayeff Berlin, Germany 2017

The project suggests that collective housing should invent a different type of typology that could transform the notions of public and private. Collaborative spaces are by nature neither public nor private but the relationship between bring forth a harmonize co-living space. Located in the central city of Berlin, KurfĂźrstenstraĂ&#x;e, the project deems to provide endless lounge of spaces whilst private spaces are carved in the corners, forming interactive environment in the latter. By using repetition of a single central element, which in this case the cross, through a play of mirrors, scale, and openings to achieve different functions and shape the environment with these walls, the composition make up small variations in the openings between spaces produce large difference in the definition itself.

BLURRED BOUNDARY

MICHELLE CHUNG C

blurred boundary Honourable Mention of Lars Lerup - First Year Best Studio Project Architectural Design Studio First Advisor: Attilio Terragni Como, Italy 2017

Como—a socially communal city with a deep cultural foundation—a wonderful place to live that also entices visitors. Blurring the boundary of life and death is the background story of my project, simultaneously acts as a space to celebrate death and bring life to the site. While a museum is an important civic space, it is not a cemetery. It is not sacred, set apart. It may be educational and instructive, illuminating and entertaining — all worthy and beneficial outcomes. This proposal sites itself at the confluence of social and cultural motivations. By aerating the museum functions with a variety of communal spaces, this proposal develops a symbiotic relationship between these two motivations. While the museum acts as a beacon for tourism, the social spaces serve the local population in a productive manner. This proposal serves as a social lynchpin for Como while leading users to the waterfront.

HEX-316 installation Exhibition CAD-Logic Program Advisor: Karim Solliman Team: Leong Chee Chung, Lee Xiao Hui, Pua Wan Ling Bauhaus Campus, Dessau-RoĂ&#x;lau, Germany 2017 "HEX-316", A jewelry pavilion designed by a group of architecture students from Anhalt University to serves as a platform to exhibit 12 parametrically designed jewelries from the students during the 2017-year end campus festival. The pavilion is located in front of building 8 parking lots on a contoured surface. It is designed concentrically on site with a cantilevered entrance as the dominate feature of the pavilion. The parametric structure is made out of 316 hexagonal shape cells with 3 different type of modules each serving a different function. Cells generated with patterns to create internally and externally facing cells with 12 cells designed to house the jewellries. Openings gradually increases towards the cantilevered structure to creates openings on eye levels and reduce weight on the cantilevered structure. The cells are built by 6mm thick corrugated cardboard. All the cells consist of two components which is the facing and the framing. Cardboards are cut, scored and folded to create these components and bolted together with bolt and nut at the dedicated locations.

furniture program Elective Program 2017

INTERPLAY The project promotes a domestic space of relationship with each cross section while programmatically linking the other functions in a soft transition. I have imagined to spatially define an interior landscape through a cross furniture module, where each corner divides and, at the same time, conceals the varieted function to allow for different social activities for different programmes.

-The project takes this condition by the constant possibility of relationships. This involves removing the corridor as the primary organisational mechanism and explore the possibilities of creating spaces through a series of furniture defined by programmatic functions and its articulation of partition.

residence of puan wan zakiah wan long Measured Drawings Terengganu, Malaysia 2013 The Residence of Puan Wan Zakiah Wan Long in Pulau Duyong, Terengganu is the building that we've documented for the module Methods of Documentation and Measured Drawings. This house has a history of over 60 years and is an epitome of traditional, vernacular Malay house found in Pulau Duyong. It is one of the most notable traditional Malay houses in Pulau Duyong with over 60 years of history and built on tanah pusaka â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ancestral land that cannot be sold or rented. This study focuses on the understanding of the principles of building preservation and the ideas of traditional vernacular architecture, and the management of abilities to measure and record to practice, produce proper documentations of an existing building. The Residence of Puan Wan Zakiah Wan Long demonstrates influences from the local climate, financial status and way of life of the owner, as well as the surrounding neighbourhood. The building was also strongly influenced by the local cultures of Kuala Terengganu. The influences that this house demonstrates are one of its greatest significances.

live, learn, grow Self-sustained Homeless Rejuvenation Hub Architectural Design Studio First Advisor: Emmanuel Canlas Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2015 The project introduces the homeless around Sentul to a self-sustaining community center, basically a vocational center where they are given or taught a trifecta set of soft skills: preculture-based urban farming as a hybrid programme, fundamental cooking skills and hospitality skills in a period of time to help them set foot into the civilization in the future. Leveraging of its strategic location between the educational and residential districts that also happens to be in close proximity to the Sentul railway line and the Gombak river. The goal of the project is to provide "employment, independence and opportunity" to rehabilitate the homeless community to the site.

space of production Elective Program 2018

TEAT(R)O OFICINA Rua Jaceguai, SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil Unhindered by tradition and often out of the purview of public scrutiny, industrial buildings have been fertile sites for architectural experiments following the Industrial Revolution. Driven foremost by pragmatic ambition, it is a typology that generated some of the purest results of integrated design, uniting engineering, expression, and performance in the articulation of constructed space. This programme investigates spaces of production through unique projects by their elaborate ideas of engineering and architecture. The way the play makes use of the building in order to break up the narrative and merge the actor and audiences as one, the design of the building as an extension of the city with the street, Rua Jaceguai towards the backyard.
