The Opportunistic Forager

The Opportunistic Forager is based on the study of an anglerfish, a sea creature that forages for survival in the deep sea. and how anglerfish’s characteristics can be applied to habitants in a form of spaces. Located at Kallang River, it is an architecture where habitants seek refuge and always depend on opportunities of sun, rain and compost to forage for survival. This architecture is made up of spaces that lead everyone to the top where it is a space to “hunt” by the collection of rainwater harvesting and compost. Through this architecture, habitants are able to forage on opportunities in the day and seek refuge in the night. (Refer to technical drawings on page 09 - 10)
