The conceptual crux of the Recombinant City is a critique of traditional “revolutionary” architectural models. As we now know, cities fail when planned as singular, deliberate objects. Rather, they are alive and evolving all the time. They are accretions of the lives of millions of individuals, amassed over centuries, sometimes millennia.

City
RECOMBINANT CITY
This mapping focus on the formation of urban fabric on site. The site is divided into the negative and the positive with the positive being the mass and the negative being the void or leftover space. The connection between the leftover space plays a vital role where it brought forward the continuation across the site.
INVERTED MAP VOID BECOME MASS / MASS BECOME VOID
ABBOTSFORD Abbotsford is a prominent early industrial area especially in textile production. In 1927, two companies (Austral Silk and Cotton Mills), which later became predominant in the textile industry, were formed in Abbotsford, Victoria, However in recent years, many previous industrial and commercial sites have been redeveloped as housing, including sites along the Yarra River. Abbotsford then slowly starts to lose its identity as an industrial area, home for the factory workers working within those industry.
VOID/MASS INTERPLAY The void is the hidden dimension of temporary vacant space. The mapping focus on the interplay between something and nothing. From this pattern of the void it offer a potential of forming a new layer of space.
PLANE SHIFT The ‘zero’ plane of the city become shifted and redefined. It is as if the new intervention is weaving through it. Void function in 2 ways. It is being abstracted above and below ground surface of the void is abstracted below ground while the nodes of the quiet void become frameworks for the strip of housing up in the air. is way the negative mass (void) provided 2 opportunity of space exploration high up and down below.
CLOSE LOOP SYSTEM The project proposed a direct connection between living and working within the city fabric as two co-existing typologies. How can working living and the city react to each other and weave together to uncover a new layer of space. The project employs a close loop system of collaborative living as its main program generator. the close loop system focus on creating high quality product with artisanal touch centered around textile production.
UNDERGROUND LEVEL
This shows the view of underground level. What I wanted to show here is how the void does create connection making it able to seamlessly house a series of production space. The space includes weaving, spinning and drying factory including flax processing plant.
WEAVING + DYEING FACTORY This project is about the procedure of cutting, hybirdizing, and rebuilding, In plan this resembles a palimsest of overlapping spatial formation hybirdizing into functional space. And in section resemble a collage of spatial intersection.
UNDERGROUND SPINNING FACTORY
GROUND LEVEL The ground floor is where the existing building on the site reamain. This level is isnt just a huge slab of nothing but includes a different programs and spaces for commecial and public purposes. It includes textile and designer market, designer offices, retails and flax cultivation green houses.
Axonometric of the Zero Ground accomodating commercial activities.
HOUSING LEVEL
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
LIVING MODULE The housing consist of one bedroom low cost loft apartment focused on active younger group of people occupancy. The housing consist of double layer facade which is the glazing and outer framing giving the occupent a buffer space of the in-between inside and outside along the corridor. The porosity of the housing quaters is equiped with flax growing area.
BUILDING SYSTEM
The housing core touches down lightly on the site to provide access to housing and roof terraces of the existing building above. The core become an activator to the vacant space below.
SECTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
This evolution is a constant, almost surgical procedure of cutting, hybridizing, and rebuilding, which in plan resembles a palimpsest, and in section a collage. Birds Eye Vie of the overall Project Proposal
Void function in 2 ways. It is being abstracted above and below ground. The surface of the void is abstracted below ground while the nodes of the quiet void become frameworks for the strip of housing up in the air. This way the negative mass (void) provided 2 opportunity of space exploration high up and down below.

THIS research looks towards the current context of Melbourne and in particular the role of Asian migration as a key future identity to the city, which will only seek to intensify as the population grows in an average of 5%/year. Because of this condition, Melbourne experience has forced me to consider how the future population, with increased Asian representation, should be celebrated and integr ated into the City of Melbourne and brought forward the productive idea of how buildings can begin to act as Cultural Bridges. This thesis explores what a cultural bridge could be within the context of Melbourne and the Fed Square East site.

ABSTRACT ‘Designing Architecture as a Cultural Bridge’ WE live in a time where cultural ideologies, aspiration and fears are as diverse and dynamic as ever. And yet our world view is becoming increasingly singular, extreme and sadly polarize. Our media echo-chamber feed us personalized, self-affirming realities that keep us well within the boundary of our own predisposition and assumption. This is a vision of futuristic speculative glimpse into the aftermath of cultural exchange and Asianization of Melbourne city. Turning the blinding drive for personalized reality into a truly mixed realities. Here the unstable, ever shifting yet somehow collective, compose a space for re-writing and over-writing. The city renders itself as a tangible palimpsest. It is the composite of multiple culture.
THE site Federation Square EAST is choosen because of its location in the east to represent the growing asian culture. Its location within the strong influence of surrounding western culture is also an interesting testing bed to create the impact of a cultural bridge between the east and the west. It can be considered as a site for socio-political diversity, associated with young people and migrants. Conversely, Fed Square East has a general perception of being culturally homogenous and egalitarian. It is this tension that the building programme seeks to overcome, providing space for and celebrating ‘heterogeneity’.

THIS research looks towards the current context of Melbourne and in particular the role of Asian migration as a key future identity to the city, which will only seek to intensify as the population grows in an average of 5%/year. Because of this condition, Melbourne experience has forced me to consider how the future population, with increased Asian representation, should be celebrated and integrated into the City of Melbourne and brought forward the productive idea of how buildings can begin to act as Cultural Bridges. A set of investigation was done on the site in the form of mapping the ethical dialog. The dialogue suggests and questions the site, but does not conclude or definitively answer.
The IMAGINARY Filter Bubble IF the self affirming ‘filter bubble’ continues into the future, our cities may become host to millions of individual versions/visions, each tailored to meet the expectations and biases of the individuals who see them. Like Mieville’s city and the city, the same space hosts multiple places. In a ‘augmented/mixed reality’ city, each person lives in a city of one, overlaid on everyone else’s. These images are all of the same moment in time, on the same street, seen through different eyes.
Nick is an Australian Nationalist, living in his Melbourne Townhouse which has been in his family for generations. Around him the city has diversified and his neighbourhood has become a cultural hotspot for newly arrived immigrant seeking opportunity in the Global City. For Nick, his house is a comforting refuge.
The everyday view shows a Melbourne Street largely unaltered from its historic form.
For Mei Toh, recently arrived in Melbourne from central China, this street is welcoming. Her eyes show her the color and vibrance of her potential new life. A passerby is highlighted as a potential friend. She can’t even see Nick’s house. to her it is a beautiful concrete assembly, supporting new growth.
The experiment, ‘designing architecture as a ‘Cultural Bridge’ will be a performative site-writing/ site-reading process. The site-writing forms the controlled fragments of the Cultural Bridge; the sitereading the act of interpreting and completing the ground, by perceiving within the fragments a unifying design approach narrative.
THIS research looks towards the current context of Melbourne and in particular the role of Asian migration as a key future identity to the city, which will only seek to intensify as the population grows in an average of 5%/year. Because of this condition, Melbourne experience has forced me to consider how the future population, with increased Asian representation, should be celebrated and integrated into the City of Melbourne and brought forward the productive idea of how buildings can begin to act as Cultural Bridges.
Through the investigation of what a Cultural Bridge may mean to architecture, the following key research questions emerged from the reading of the site and this question is then implemented on a speculative section of 3 condition in the city over time: Concrete/ Abstract Is there is a way for urban environment to remember and can a space express multiple publics of memory and meaning? Control/ Freedom Is having a control space risk having a passive user group? Objectivity / Subjectivity How can we accommodate the multiple subjectivities of collective memory? Order / chaos How can space accommodate communities’ identities, and how to design for multiple publics and accept that identity changes with time? To manifest this 4 research question, the cultural bridge is tested in a form of microcosmic city within three different timeframes to show how the identity changes with time.
THE PROBLEM Today, despite being so interconnected, we are living in increasingly disparate worlds. The spatial distance between diverse social/cultural groups is shrinking, but the cultural gaps between them are wider than ever. Intersections between world views (whilst definitely present and powerful) are for the most part, invisible. THIS is the author journey of finding the definition of a Cultural Bridge
THE PROPOSITION
THE PROPOSITION
I propose a city where space and culture are tied together. Where: Increased Spatial Proximity = Increased Cultural Proximity. I envisage a city that promotes exchange, rather than existing as a series of walled ghettos. cultural bridge. This framework is considering how architecture communicates ideas between the existence of subcultures and how architecture can be inclusive, rather than alienating; how the ‘Cultural Bridge’ will exist permanently, transiently and perceptively within its own mosaic of subcultures.

The design brief is to build a new UUM Chalet on a very strategic hilltop area at Pekan Kuah. The location is viewable from the Dataran Lang makes the site visible from and naturally viable as nature sanctuaries. It’s a translation of the elemental needs of human and the relationships with society and the environment. A venture between vernacular site contexts and new architecture to blend in wi th a new community. It will serve beyond current needs of a standard hotel but offer a serenity of life.

This semester we are asked to design a flood relief center that will be dual-function combined with another type of building. This is where our challenge began as we are confused and indecisive in balancing both functions that oppose one another. We have to have a right balance between both functions. My approach is to create a building where both functions do not collide but sacrifice for the s ake of one another. Here is when this design has to transform or change to fit each type of function.

The project looks into the possibility of a ‘so-called’ adaptive reuse as a design approach to create a modernized historical image for a cultural center. The catch is that there is no existing historical building on the site. So a replica of a meaningful historical building will be rebuilt concurrently with the new architecture to look back at the past while moving forward. This thesis studies the possibilities of historical adaptation into modern architecture and construction through the biological process of parasitic behavior into symbiotic reaction where the historical building will act as a host and the new addition will become a parasite that will affect the historical building either in a positive or negative way.

What if you can take a break from the current world and escape back to reminiscence of the historical age. This project focus mainly on the aim to provide a cultural and leisure center that can attract tourist and the local to be indulged in various cultural activities such as interactive exhibitions, convention, entertainment and education where it also storing the archive of a historical collection of various ethnicity and historical architecture. It is also a place of refuge and revitalized after a long hour on a bustling city. The City Centre contains the most significant historic buildings, sites and streets in the City. Besides improving the general environment of the older areas, urban renewal initiatives shall be directed towards capitalizing comparative advantages of Kuala Lumpur to create new tourist facilities. The project looks into the possibility of a ‘so called’ adaptive reuse as a design approach to create a modernized historical image for a cultural center.

This thesis study the possibilities of historical adaptation into modern architecture and construction through the biological process of parasitic behavior into symbiotic reaction where the historical building will act as a host and the new addition will become a parasite that will affect the historical building either in a positive or negative way. This thesis will study the relationship between the host and the parasite and if it is possible to turn parasitic effect into a symbiotic reaction where the host and the parasite can harmoniously work together.
DETAIL SECTION
This research studies the possibilities of historical building adaptation into a new building program which is a cultural center in the form of parasitic behaviors into a symbiotic reaction to prove that a parasite which is the new intervention and the host (historical building) can exist and benefits from each other presence. First it looks into the possibilities of the building program. The building program chosen is a cultural center that is aim to attract tourist and become a cultural hub in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur mainly for the reminiscence of the past. Next, the study looks into the possibility of adaptation as a design approach to bring back the past into the modern city of Kuala Lumpur.

The atmosphere in the factory felt like somethings are happening all the time. You never know who is going to walk into the factory. He surrounded himself with people - people who have different skills, who have ambitions and creativities that make the factory comes to life. I was very interested in how he had control over his paintings as if it was mechanistic rather than personal.

The museum is already a world on its own. Attempting to make the museum more public by opening it to the outside means injecting a world into a world. This project intends to explore “the physical experience of the acts of seeing, seeking and searching for the world� in the context of an art institution and specifically its boundary between artwork, the space that enfolds it and the energies tha t animate it.

We are particularly interested in the exoskeleton concept of the structural system because of its aesthetic and functionality. After we worked out the building height of 280 m, we realized that the most suitable construction for the building of this height is by having an exoskeleton in the form of structural bracing in order to resist the lateral load. We then continued to experiment with it us ing the steel type external exoskeleton as bracing. However, after a discussion with the tutor, we decided to go for an all concrete high rise structure because it is the most commercialized building material for a high-rise in the real construction world.

Peranakan Chinese are terms used for the descendants of the 15th through 17th- century Chinese immigrants to the Indonesian archipelago and British Malaya (now Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore). Strong local Malay culture assimilation has occurred to Peranakan Chinese in Kelantan. Traditional Peranakan Chinese kampong house in eastern Malaysia has developed in its own unique architectural style which is different from the Peranakan Chinese from other states in Malaysia. Their own traditional timber architecture is considered as a very important heritage in our country. The report will explains on how the culture of Peranakan Chinese blends into the local culture especially in the context of timber architecture kampong houses.
