Planting Days
Nasi Ulam Food Forest Garden
26 September 2023
The Nasi Ulam Garden is a food forest plot on the fringe of the School of Design and Environment (SDE), home to a myriad of edible plant species. Since 2022, the garden has served as a learning ground for students, faculty members, and experts on plant species and food systems. The fourth planting day for Nasi Ulam Food Forest Garden took place in a semi-classroom setting where volunteers were guided on how to identify the plants, harvest them, and propagate certain species. It also took a more technical direction, with volunteers helping to map out the locations of different edible plant species in the garden. The mapping activity was the first step in gaining a clearer picture of what the garden entails and suggested options for the relocation of certain plant species to a better environment where they can thrive.
Student Reflection
Trenyce Chong (BLA 1)
The planting day, organised by LAC, was a therapeutic and engaging activity. A simple task helped us unwind from our busy academic schedules while also tidying up the Nasi Ulam Garden, which we pass by every day on our way to the studio. As a first-year student, it gave me an opportunity to talk to seniors and professors in an informal setting. This played a significant role in my learning experience as a freshman, as there were many things I was unfamiliar with. Meeting seniors in person through this activity made it easier to reach out to them for advice.

15 March 2024
SDE 3, LT 427
In this lecture, Bianca Maria Rinaldi discussed “strategies of coexistence”, focusing on integrating human activities into natural environments. Key topics included cross-cultural interactions in landscape architecture history, China’s impact on Western garden art (17th-19th centuries), 20thcentury landscape architecture in the Global South, and the role of history in contemporary landscape architecture and urban transformations. She advocated sustainable design practices that respect ecological systems, promote biodiversity, and create resilient landscapes, aiming to foster the beneficial coexistence of human and natural elements.
Student Reflection
Sumaiya Azad (BLA 1)
Bianca Rinaldi’s lecture on strategies of coexistence in urban landscapes was thought-provoking. She highlighted the crucial role of landscape architecture in creating spaces where humans and more-thanhumans can coexist harmoniously. One particularly interesting point was her observation that urban spaces, often perceived as unkempt or neglected, are actually vital for biodiversity. Rinaldi discussed how landscape architects can bridge the perception gap by designing urban landscapes that cater to various species while also providing aesthetic and emotional experiences for visitors. This insight made me reflect on the social construction of nature and how our perceptions shape our interactions with these spaces. Her lecture left me contemplating how landscape architecture can challenge and transform our views on nature and thereby promote a more inclusive and ecological perspective.
Exhibitions
Landscapes of Inclusivity
3-31 May 2024
Queenstown Library, Singapore
“How can our neighbourhood landscapes be designed better to enhance residents’ well-being, and stimulate inter-generational mingling?”
BLA Year 2 students did a deep dive into the Queenstown neighbourhood (especially Mei Ling) throughout the semester to come up with unique and creative ideas to reimagine the public spaces on our doorstep. The design process included collecting inputs directly from community members via three interactive workshops at Queenstown library, ad-hoc interview surveys, and site visits to key communal facilities in the district. Students summarised the findings and converted them into design ideas with graphics and physical models to visualise how outdoor spaces can attract more communitycentric activities and become more user-friendly and comfortable spaces to enjoy with family and friends. This one-month-long public exhibition yielded opportunities to share ideas generated by students and also to receive feedback and reflections from community members.

Integrated Water Management: Reshaping Rivers for Flood Mitigation and Coastal Reclamation in Tacloban by Li Xinyi (MLA 2) proposed a water management strategy in Tacloban City centre, by modifying river channels and building reservoirs to reduce flood risks for those living along riverbanks. The project also looked at sediment management for sustainable reclamation in the bay to protect vulnerable communities from storm surges.
New Planning Principles for the Transformation of Agriculture by Wang Junyu (MLA 2) featured Palo’s agricultural areas, promoting climate-resilient agriculture prototypes. It aimed to reorganise farmlands, using flood risk and accessibility as indicators, and proposed a new agricultural operational model to enhance community resilience and bridge primary and secondary industries.
LANDSCAPE DENSITY
Option 3
Tutor: Victoria Jane Marshall
Density is both a topographical problem of number and measurement and a problem of topological politics and space. In this Landscape Density studio, students explored how density is lived, experienced, and contested, and how alternative forms of compactness might emerge. Each student self-selected a one-kilometre square study area in peri-urban Monsoon Asia as their prompt for inquiry. The final projects addressed density through both locality-level spatial strategies and intimate physical spaces. They were also comprised of locality-led proposals for future urban-rural forms implemented incrementally. That is, landscape architecture students designed with existing and imagined landscape practices to transform land use, land cover, space, and power.
From Remnants to Resonance: Reimagine the Future of Coastal Fishing Villages by Ouyang Luoman (MLA 2) highlighted Japan’s 2023 nuclear wastewater discharge’s profound impact on its fishing industry. The project addressed Fukushima’s ecological and social fallout, envisioning coastal villages like Choshi transforming from remnants into resource-rich landscapes for all inhabitants.
Ayur Commons – Botanical Uprising Against Remittance Trap by Guo Zhiyi (MLA 2) addressed the social and environmental challenges in a peri-urban city called Thrissur in Kerala, India, including emigration, remittance dependence, unemployment, and disease. Leveraging local herb cultivation and government plans, it proposed three land development “rituals” to transform the shoreline into a resilient, high-density community focused on traditional medicine and sustainability.
Co-designing Generative Agriculture by Tang Yanqi (MLA 2) creatively addressed changes in peri-urban orchards near Bangkok, challenging inequitable land management practices that heighten vulnerability to land use conversion. The project aimed to redistribute power, encouraging farmers to adopt more profitable business models through generative agriculture, and to counteract existing tensions in land management.
Design Thesis
Utilising Horticultural Waste as a Sustainable Landscape Management Strategy for the NUS Campus
by Amber Yong (MLA 2) Tutor: Yun Hye Hwang
Journey into Fukushima: Re-imagining Hazardous Nuclear Landscape
Singapore, known for its high horticultural standards, generates substantial horticultural waste due to frequent landscape maintenance. Current practices predominantly involve off-site compost processing without fully considering the specific characteristics of each waste type. Singaporeans are sceptical about bio-based recycling methods because of concerns about odours, noise, and other nuisances. This project sought to redefine waste as an opportunity for sustainability and innovation. Using scenario-based quantification, it aimed to develop alternative resource flows and waste management strategies towards a circular bio-based economy. The main thesis question explored the extent to which horticultural waste can be leveraged for maintenance, examining the types and quantities of waste generated, their correlation with resource consumption, and the potential for landscape interventions to minimise carbon emissions while optimising resource usage. The study site was the National University of Singapore (NUS), where daily horticultural waste is collected and typically transported to companies through a linear waste flow. The project’s design goals included implementing physical changes on campus to establish effective waste management, enhancing ecological processes by understanding the benefits of recycling, and incorporating community engagement to foster ownership and participation. The proposed design plan focused on creating a decentralised system to ensure bio-based circularity at NUS.
The Fukushima nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011, had a profound impact on human society, and Japan’s announcement in 2023 that it planned to discharge treated nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean further fuelled a profound change in attitudes toward nuclear energy. This project reviewed the disaster and proposed innovative strategies for the future revitalisation of the Fukushima region. Through the lens of landscape design, it analysed the current situation in Fukushima, revealing the deep scars left by the disaster and the ongoing challenges in waste management and environmental issues. Based on the
principles of post-humanism and global cooperation, the project outlined a vision for Fukushima’s future, including bold landscape interventions tailored to different land use zones and the needs of both human and nonhuman entities. These interventions aimed to promote equality between humans and nonhumans, rethink approaches to nuclear waste management and the future of Fukushima, and establish a permanent storage solution for nuclear waste. Through careful planning and collaboration, the project reimagined a revitalised, post-humanist Fukushima as a model of sustainable development.

Subversive Landscapes in Highway
Constructions in China’s Henan Province

Shapes and
Is
Shaped By: An Alternative Approach for Coastal Regeneration Based on the Interplay of Sandy Beach Dynamics and Socio-Ecological Impacts
China’s infrastructure-driven economy is faltering, leading to a re-evaluation of the monumental constructions that have defined it. The project examined this narrative, observing how personal experiences and emotions are shaped by it and noting that as the logic falters, discrepancies arise between the promised, experienced, and envisioned realities. The disjunction between the grand national agenda and Guo Zhiyi’s nostalgic impressions of rural landscapes led her to investigate the inner workings of this “movie”. Utilising cinematographic methods, she uncovered narrative structures and editing strategies within the observed landscape, while simultaneously adjusting interpretations and reshaping perceptions. The project argued film is a multifaceted medium for both story-telling and design, and cinematic elements can be
deconstructed to understand landscape formation and evolution. The project’s focus was on Henan Hua County, known for its intensive road construction but facing population outflow and economic challenges, particularly along the AnLuo Expressway. The project revealed that when roads are viewed as ideology and the infrastructure economy as a cultural phenomenon, landscapes become tools for ideological liberation. In this case, social memory and ecological principles undermine the political and financial motivations behind the colossal constructions. The project’s design framework comprised natural climatic and ecological cycles, allowing the design to appear serendipitous and naturally occurring, thus subversively providing opportunities for community development and ecological cultivation.
Coastal regions worldwide are at the forefront of environmental challenges because of their vulnerability to climate change, rising sea levels, and the burgeoning demands of tourism. The phrase “Shapes and is shaped by” points to the profound interdependence between an island’s geological background and the livelihoods of coastal communities. Human activities along the coastline intricately dictate the trajectory of an island’s future, forming a symbiotic relationship where tourists are drawn to natural attractions, offering economic benefits but posing environmental challenges. This requires sustainable development and
management strategies. This project addressed the urgent crisis of sandy beach dynamics in renowned island destinations in Southeast Asia, emphasising their profound socio-ecological repercussions. Focusing on six natural and artificial beaches, with an in-depth exploration of Semporna – a diving destination facing inundated islands due to coastal erosion – the study investigated coastal sand erosion, tourism dynamics, and sustainable development. The findings informed a sustainable development framework to optimise coastal development and achieve vested interest amongst urban planners, investors, and local communities.

Inequitable Green Space Provision and Its Impact on Thermal Comfort: A Case Study of Singapore’s Residential Areas
The research investigated the inequity in urban green space metrics across diverse socio-economic strata in residential areas of Singapore and explored its impact on thermal comfort (TC). Grounded in the realm of environmental justice, the study employed an imagebased approach and utilised landscape metrics (LM) and a digital twin model to quantify disparities in LM and their influence on thermal comfort. By adopting a microscopic scale to measure landscape inequalities and their relationship with thermal comfort from a human perspective, the study addressed existing gaps in the literature. Methodologically, it employed advanced

Desertification in Chaos: Atlas and Land Art and Slow Science Experiments to Open Up the Political Imaginary
deep learning techniques, combined with landscape and built environment metrics, to conduct an imagebased assessment of LM. It conducted thermal comfort analysis using ENVI-met simulations, considering the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). The study has implications for creating more equitable and sustainable living environments in residential areas of Singapore. More generally, the research aimed to provide actionable insights for urban planning and design, bridging existing gaps in the literature and contributing to the understanding of the symbiotic relationship between urban design, environmental justice, and thermal comfort.
As a global problem, desertification causes land degradation and sandstorms, and these extensively affect people’s lives. Starting with China’s Three-North Shelterbelt Program policy, this thesis analysed and reflected: “In the face of large-scale ecological policies, a one-to-one causal relationship is not applicable, and many events often occur in chaos without completely clear facts.” Some problems cannot be solved or explained by existing
policy frameworks and scientific understanding. We should be aware of the limits of existing policy imagination. To open the imagination and promote the effective process of combating desertification by increasing the participation of local people, the project design included three different types of methodology: non-spatial means – an atlas; an online method – a star map; two spatial methods – land art and slow science experiments.

Impact of Greenery Composition and Configuration on Outdoor Thermal Environment
impacts of marine pollution on pelagic communities, while also facilitating scientific research to better understand its ecological role and potential contribution to marine ecosystems. By integrating principles of technology, social responsibility and ecological sustainability, this design provided a holistic approach to environmental protection and scientific research.
Greenery positively impacts outdoor thermal environments in high-density cities, yet studies often overlook the vegetation hierarchy within greenspaces. This research project conducted field surveys to obtain detailed stratified vegetation data from 15 test sites at the National University of Singapore (NUS). These data were used to calculate indicators describing plant composition and configuration. Correlation analyses between these metrics and air temperature data explored the effects of different plant compositions and configurations on cooling. The study found canopy vegetation, including large and small trees, plays a decisive role in cooling, with canopy cover and density significantly negatively correlated with
maximum air temperature. Understory vegetation, such as ground cover, shrubs, and lawns, affects air temperature based on species habits. Shade-tolerant understory vegetation positively impacts cooling, while sun-loving understory vegetation can increase temperatures. The research suggests creating dense shade patches and planting multiple layers of shade-tolerant vegetation are key to maximising the cooling function of green spaces. Unshaded greenery with only low vegetation has little cooling effect during the day and may even raise temperatures. The findings have implications for evaluating existing greenery at NUS and for future urban greenery landscaping strategies.
