FARMING I N AN O F F IC E SHOPHOUSE OF FI CE Melac c a, Malay sia
This project is a multi-level exploration of introducing urban farming within local contexts in Malacca, Malaysia. The traditional shophouse underwent a vertical re-densification to house several small scale offices for independent businesses to share in a collaborative manner. The key feature of this shophouse is the spaces for urban farming, making use of natural daylighting introduced in the design of the shophouse. The urban farming intervention is strategically placed to attract the public to join in the activity, and also for office users to be able to easlily access and observe the activities down below from their offices.

Water is a power player. It is a vital resource fundamental to our survival. Water supply in Singapore will always be an imperative challenge for us. Therefore, the primary design concept in Pasir Panjang Power District is to shape the way we utiilise water by integrating water into the urban landscape- creating new synergy between land and water, transforming the site into a coastal waterfront tightly integrated with its ater resources. Pasir Panjang Power District is hence envisioned to be an inclusive, self sustainable, integrated activity hub driven by water.

The site is split to east and west parcels: east being co-working and cultural activities and west allocated for residential. These two zones meet in the middle where the visitor centre, Hydro-hub and F&B areas are located. Vehicular access is being pushed to only the edges of the site, so that it is car-lite and heavily pedestrianised. This creates a more intimate relationship between the users and the nature on-site.

THE F U T U R E OF FA RMIN G S TAT IO N S COMME RCI A L Pasir Panjang, Singap ore
In the pursuit of being self-sustainable as a country, Singapore looks to increase its local food production to 30% by 2030. This means that the growth of crops needs to be intensified in creative ways in this small country. This projects looks into the possibility of integrating urban farms into commercial buildings, along with research facilities. Taking the history of the building as a power station, it reinterprates food as the new currency of power in the near future. And reimagines the extension of the building’s role as a producer of power.

REA NIMATE R E STOR ATION/SOCI AL ARC HI T ECTU RE I nu jima, Jap a n Inujima is a small island off the coast of Okayama prefacture in the Seto Inland Sea. With a dwindling population of 25 making up of mostly elderly, the future of this island is uncertain. There are many abandoned homes on this island as the population dwindled over the years, and some of this abandoned homes are turned into art houses as an effort made my Fukutake Foundation and Benesse Holdings to revive the islands through tourism. This project looks into one of the abandoned buildings to reintroduce programmes and restore and revamp the architecture in hopes of reanimating the life on the island.

CHOSEN SITE: OLD SCHOOL The chosen site is an old school. It is on the east side of the Island, a walk away from the main attractions, restaurants and the port. The old school was discontinued as the population shrank, but it was kept under good conditions. Some furniture was still kept in the school, along with photo albums of the past student’s activities. This site was chose because of the resonation of learning in the school, which is very much related to the program that I chose for it: a cooking class.

ROTAT ION S RE SI DE NT I AL/MI XED U SE Pu nggol, SI ngap ore
Placed in the central of Punggol, this is a residential project with commercial and recreational areas on the first two levels. The typology of the building breaks away from the conventional typologies of the surrounding residential blocks. It responds to its site by making use of rotations to face more attractive views of the waterway. As the height increases, the building rotates to progressively face the north -south direction. Sky gardens are interspersed within the blocks to break the density of the volumes and allow for more interesting views from the units.

SITE PLAN AND CONCEPT VISUALVISATION
TRANSIT SHORTEST DISTANCES A shortest-path line is drawn from each block to the nearest transit pick-up point.
MAP OF GREEN SPACES A map of green spaces is traced out around the neighbourhood.
EXTENSION OF PATHWAYS The green spaces are extended into the site such that pathways can be drawn from the green spaces to the central MRT station.

INFILL OF RESIDENTIAL BLOCKS Residential blocks are added in between the green pathways.
SITE PLAN AND CONCEPT VISUALISATION The site is surrounded by roads and various residential blocks. Perhaps the most prominent landmark is the MRT station to the east of the site. The first two levels consist of retail and recreational facilites respectively. Entrances to the first level is placed to receive the higest foot traffic from the MRT exits and the surrrounding pedestrian walkways. There are multiple access points to level 2 (through stairs and ramps).

Constructive Interference is a public light installation for iLight Singapore 2019. Its concept is derived from a physics concept â&#x20AC;&#x153;Constructive Interferenceâ&#x20AC;?, a phenomenon where two waves intercept each other. The installation aims to promote interactions between strangers,. When each person stands at either end of the artwork, they will send waves of different light colours, which then meets in the middle. This submission won the Student Award, and was constructed to be displayed as one of the many artworks in iLIght Singapore 2019 Bicentennial Edition.

CONCEPT SKETCHES
Two people will stand at either end of the wave, and interact by sending out different colours.
The colours will then intercept in the middle, creating a gradient of colours through the wavelike-form. The wavelike-form is constructed through many frames, which frames the user at either end of the artwork.

HABIT is an elegant self-sustaining bedside lighting system targeting city dwellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unhealthy habits of using electronic devices before bed. The innovation tackles this problem through 3 main considerations. Firstly, there should be a trigger to manipulate the perception of the brain into recognising the sleeping time. Secondly, there should be an indication for user to be aware of the passage of time. And lastly, the system shall produce its own energy rather than using up more electricity.
