island to get closer to nature, away from the urban environment.
The Boathouse redefines travel and leisure in Saint John’s Island. From the site analysis conducted early in the term, there are 3 main groups of people on Saint John Island.
Currently, options for recreational activities include, a nature trail, swimming, barbequing and camping. To complement this array of activities, the project introduces an alternative beach program – Kayaking. The adoption of a water-based program allows the project to explore the relationship between air, land and sea.
This project targets the day-trippers, overnight campers and researchers on the island. Visitors arriving at the island can travel via the ferry or the Volocopter from the Marina Bay area. This group of people usually visit the

The approach angle (26 degrees) of the delivery drone was determined by the cruising height (100 m) and point of descent (50 m) which subsequently informs the design of the droneport.
Design considerations for the project included the roof typologies study conducted earlier. The study shows that the ‘Open’ roof typology provides the drones an easier landing and takeoff.

Site is chosen for its minimal intrusion to nature and its access to water. Massing is first oriented towards incoming flight path.
The droneport aims to integrate the three elements i.e. Air, Land and Water.
Studio | The Boathouse
Roof and drone entry points are designed based on the drones flight and landing behaviours.
Resultant massing becomes a functional hub for both transit and recreation.

THE EXPERIENCE 1. Parcel collection Parcels disengage from delivery drones and get tagged and channeled into individual collection boxes. Convenience and safety is key for this service. 2. Drone boarding Passengers experience is curated from the moment they enter the Boathouse. Elongated form of the Boathouse directs passengers sightline to the vast sea. Waiting period is made entertaining by providing end-to-end viewing window to the delivery drones’ path. Boarding is made seamless by providing separate circulation for people disembarking from the drones. 3. Recreation To enhance St John’s offering as a leisure destination, kayaking is proposed. This activity has a relatively low environmental impact. With this, the Boathouse incorporates land, sea and air.

SEPT 2020 OPTION STUDIO 2 | FORM AXIOMS: DESIGN STRATEGIES IN SOUTH CHINA SEA INSTRUCTOR: EVA CASTRO AND FEDERICO RUBERTO IN COLLABORATION WITH: TAN SHAO XUAN
Studio | Seedling
Design Strategies in South China Sea Seedling celebrates a new beginning and transformation of the coastal community. It explores the effects of sea level rise on vulnerable coastal communities, new opportunities for virtual tourism and the potential drones can bring to air mobility. Seedling is designed to be replicable in other parts of the world facing similar issues by creating modules and aggregation logic for them.
Portfolio | Naomi Bachtiar
THE APPROACH 1. Hypothesis A hypothesis of the future is made to identify an opportunity where architectural and systems design can be employed to serve the community. 2. Indexing Indexing records the constitution of a given territory. It registers its topographical, geological, ennvironmental, demographic and socio-economic conditions as processes, forms and parameters. 3. Design Catalogue and Logic A design catalogue of separate modules and their agglomeration logic is created in the design process. The project acts as a pilot test and the design can be implemented in places with similar conditions. 4. Phasing With the long timeline (~50 years), the project should be envisioned as being implemented in phases. The different phases will show how the project grow and evolves along the time scale.
THE HYPOTHESIS
3 Forces Identified: • Sea Level Rise Due to climate change, sea level continue to rise. Low-lying coastal communities are at risk of permanent displacement. • Rise of Virtual Tourism The Covid-19 pandemic has spurred virtual tourism as global travel grounded to a halt. Leveraging on this trend, the project proposes a new form of tourism called Piggyback Tourism, where physical tourists and local guides can bring around virtual tourists. • Passenger Drones for Last-mile Connectivity For coastal areas with a lot of small islands, passenger drones can be the solution to improve connectivity. This can also increase convenience and novelty for tourists.

SELECTED SITE: RIAU ISLANDS
These islands can then be connected via drone and boat connections, where drone flight paths are planned to be nonintersecting and avoiding high elevation areas. With sea level rise of 6m, the archipelago is expecting an estimated 1968 people who will be displaced. These locals can serve as the starting population, and can be centrally located at one site. The site will serve as the central connection to other primary islands.

Charging and Waiting Room
Due to the current lack of availabilty of commercial passenger drones, there is no existing drone-related prototypes. However, studies by Uber reveal that some of these requirements can be extrapolated from existing helipad requirements. Studies from Volocopter also reveal further requirements for charging docks for drones.

DESIGN CATALOGUE: PRODUCTION The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) assessed the Riau archipelago to have potential for rearing of grouper and rabbitfish for aquaculture (FAO). Due to the larger area of cages required for grouper fish, they are treated as a more luxurious form of food, while rabbitfish is more readily available. Due to the high mortality rate of rabbitfish, these can be used as feed for grouper fish, allowing for a reduced need for additional preparation of food for them.
Grouper • •
300 fish/ cage Requires smaller fish as feed
This means that a single grouper cage can be fitted in adjacency to multiple rabbitfish cages to serve as food supply. Each rabbitfish cage can produce about 45kg of output a year, which can be estimated to feed 2 people for the year (FAO).
Rabbitfish • •
100-200 fish/ cage High mortality rate
Given the nature of existing agriculture in the Riau archipelago, suitable crops include rice, maize and potatoes. Rice Slope Analysis of Selected Site

GROWTH LOGIC
Terraces spread from the location of the drone hub, covering areas identified to be suitable for agriculture.
Using the circulation path module, an irregular grid is generated. The grid respects and wraps around identified water nodes.
Taking the negative space of the circulation path, possible boat paths are generated.
Using shortest path analysis, a primary circulation path is identified. This path will serve as the main commercial spine, while other secondary paths will branch out to other areas in the site.
Shortest path analysis is done for the possible boat paths, by using water nodes as the destination points.
Portfolio | Naomi Bachtiar
DESIGN IN PHASES Phase 1: 2040
Aquaculture and agriculture serve as te primary drivers of development. Circulation network is established to connect tese nodes and does not spread too far from the island. There is a bigger focus on the relocation of locals to this area at this point. Few tourists start to visit the area, getting to understand the locals’ new way of life.
Phase 2: 2050
As some of the islands start to get inundated, development spreads further and more habitation spaces are introduced. The area starts to welcome more tourists and agriculture and aquaculture is expanded to be able to support the larger population of locals and tourists.
Phase 3: 2100
As the sea level continue to rise, the low-lying agriculture areas are no longer used. Circulation network stands above the water and allow for life to continue. Extensive green network is now introduced to return the lost nature. Dedicated spaces allow for communal gathering, fostering interactions and relations between locals and tourists alike.

Studio | SHZ
Tourism New Deal: Sustainable Infrastructure for Korea’s Gangwon Region The border between the North and South Korea is a zone with complex political backdrop. It is currently a hard line which separates the two countries, and crossing the line seems impossible. The project explores possibilities of using tourism as a means to kickstart dialogues and exchanges to promote peace.
Our proposal is an experiment to restart inter Korea tour by defining a zone of exception between Mount Kumgangsan and Mount Seoraksan, effectively bridging the tourism experience which currently exist in the North and South. It consists of a series of smallscale interventions which together forms a larger urban intervention where people from both North and South can interact in a zone of exception.
Portfolio | Naomi Bachtiar
THE APPROACH 1. Research Research on the current socio-political context of North and South Korea and shared history between the two is important is done to identify opportunities for intervention. 2. Indexing Working on the urban scale, existing infrastructure, pathways and topographical condition are assessed 3. Urban Intervention An overarching scheme for tourism, grounded on the research and indexing done, is proposed. 4. Architectural Intervention In the architectural scale, circulation is key to craft the experiences available for different actors.
THE HYPOTHESIS
1. Zone of Exception In the past, the two Koreas have defined zones of exceptions such as Mount Kumgang Tourist Region, Panmunjom and Kaesong Industrial Zone. These zones of exception are third areas where people from either side could meet. Could we envision a new zone of exception which uses tourism to facilitate dialogues? 2. Shared Culture The project is situated in the Baekdudaegan mountain range. This mountain range plays an important role in Korea’s culture and history. The project aims to tap into this shared culture and introduce hiking as a common experience to kickstart conversations.

In particular, Katakita is set in a transitoriented development context and aim to prevent transit-induced displacement which may result from the introduction of new transit nodes in an area.
The issue between profitability and equitability of a development is addressed through the reinvention of a planning process that is more community-centric.

GAME SCREENSHOTS
Stakeholders can choose an in-game role. Avaliable roles are: Planner, Designer and Resident. The roles have a design duty in different scales. Planner does the urban-level design, designer does the neighbourhood level design while residents look at the micro-scale design.
The players will play simultaneously in one game board. They can choose to place the different modules on the plot of land. Game scores (i.e. green space, ground coverage, no of people demolished, etc) will be updated in real-time.

Once a game session has ended, the scores will be submitted to an online database. Players can then select up to two criterias that they wish to optimise for. A leaderboard is generated
Players can download the .json file and transfer the optimal design into Rhino (a modelling software) using a custom grasshopper scripl.
