This multi-disciplinary module explores several topics on urban and rural regeneration in Asia. It aims to provoke critical thinking of sustainable planning and design in Asia. We will elaborate on theories and principles of this study area through examining selected regeneration projects from historical, social, economic, and environmental perspectives. On-site lectures and seminars will enable the students to experience and understand challenges with regeneration practices in the context of Asia.

AR5951B MIS: MOVING SPACE IMAGE 2.0 Tutor: Simone Chung

New media and technology are so ubiquitous in our everyday and professional lives that they have become integral to space planning, design, artistic production, and spatial experience, as tools and conduits for visual representation and crafting virtual worlds. Moving images possess the capacity to reveal how space is; and can be differently organised and experienced, whilst profilmic mapping techniques—when properly employed—allow us to unpack embedded spatial and socio-cultural information shaping the lived environment to reveal certain inherent biases governing the logic of spatial configuration.

This revised and expanded course, introduces themes shared by architecture, urban studies, and moving image media, situating them in the wider discourse of the last century that have shaped the visual discipline and consequently, depictions and experience of architecture and the city. The thematically organised seminars chart the evolution of moving image technology (celluloid, cinema, screen-based media installations, media architecture, virtual backlots) to demonstrate its contribution to architectural knowledge, urban research, and industry transformations.

AR5952B DESIGNING WITH ENERGY. LOCAL RENEWABLES AS KEY FACTORS IN URBAN PLANNING Tutor: Naomi Hanakata

This module critically investigates the renewable energy transition and the need to explore local energy resources as a key parameter for urban planning practices. It will examine Singapore’s current energy landscape and the potential of local energy production. It will investigate a concrete site to explore the potential of local energy sourcing, the implication on planning decisions; and students will produce alternative planning scenarios, based on optimal energy sourcing. Architectural acoustics describes the art and science of interactions between people and sounds in indoor and outdoor spaces. Students are introduced to the fundamental knowledge and skills on: (1) principles of sound generation, propagation, and reception; and (2) properties of materials for sound absorption, reflection, and transmission. In addition, we will examine the characteristics of sound: What makes the sound in buildings and urban areas? How can sound influence the way people perceive the space? With this in mind, this module will be directed toward design criteria, model simulation, and prediction of acoustics performance.

AR5953C INTRODUCTION TO MASS TIMBER ARCHITECTURE Tutor: Shinya Okuda

Mass Timber Architecture is rapidly evolving globally, as it is made of renewable resources and enables carbon sink in a building form. However, usage of natural and organic materials in a contemporary built environment requires a whole set of different design approaches from common industrial materials, such as steel or concrete. The elective provides an introductory, highly-interdisciplinary overview of the Mass Timber Architecture, across forestry, manufacturing, structures, architectonics, built environment and carbon sink. It aims to set theoretical and technical frameworks to design Mass Timber Architecture, with its emerging prospect in Southeast Asia.

AR5951A ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS FROM EXPANDED FIELD Tutor: Tsuto Sakamoto

Experiencing two outstanding phenomena: an environmental crisis and development of intelligent technology—our relationship with things, living beings and environment has significantly changed today. Overwhelming power of natural disasters and pandemics remind us that we are no longer situated at a centre of the world to control and exploit nonhuman entities for our subsistence. Today’s intelligent technology and its implementation in our society transformed our consciousness, desire and behaviour instead of us handling such technology as a simple tool. The crisis of human-centric ideas or anthropocentrism suggested in these phenomena provides us an opportunity to re-examine the discipline of architecture that has been closely tied with anthropocentrism since the Renaissance period. Exploring theoretical discussions on the issue developed in interdisciplinary fields, and searching for a possibility to bring such discussions into the architectural discourse, the course aims to develop an alternative architectural idea, design approach, and critical thinking. AR5953A MIND THE GAPS: CRITIQUING URBAN SPACES IN THE CONTEXT OF HIGH DENSITY VERTICAL ENVIRONMENTS Tutor: Swinal Samant

In the context of urban intensification, this module engages students in supervised research on specific urban spaces within Singapore, that function as nuclei for people, programmes and facilities based on their spatial, visual and functional characteristics. More specifically, it seeks to explore and understand the myriad challenges and possibilities presented by our transit-oriented environments and the urban spaces that they encompass and those that envelope them, i.e. spaces within, between and around.

AR5953B SHAPE COMPUTATION Tutor: Rudi Stouffs

Parametric/associative modelling has received much attention. There are obvious benefits of modelling a family of design alternatives instead of just a single design. However, developing a parametric model requires a prior understanding of its outcome, in order to be able to identify the desired parameters and associations. In this module, we will look closely at the alternative approach of rulebased modelling, using graphically-defined shape rules. We will explore the advantages and disadvantages of this rule-based approach in an application to design, within the Rhino/Grasshopper environment.

AR5952A PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY DESIGN Tutor: Tan Beng Kiang

This module introduces concepts and practices in participatory planning and design at the community scale. Major topics include brief history of participation (global and Singapore), why participation is needed, benefits and problems, methods in participatory community design, and case studies. Students are expected to participate in real world projects to apply the methods and to do community engagement on a few weekends (subject to change, due to pandemic safety measurement measures). Only students who are in Singapore can take this module.

AR5951C ARCHITECTURAL AESTHETICS, OVERVIEW & ISSUES Tutor: Wong Yunn Chii

A reading course, supported by seminar activities, enables students to trace lines of discourses on architectural aesthetics. An important consideration is an attempt to delineate a distinctive Asian variety(ies) of aesthetics, and discussion of their relevance in the contemporary milieu. Their propositions will be assessed alongside contemporary discussions in mass and popular cultures.

AR5957K BUILDING IMAGES: URBAN ANATOMY Tutor: Erieta Attali Architectural photography primarily deals with the relationship between artifacts and their environments, or the dipole of building and landscape. Cities represent a special case in this model of thought. Urban landscapes have their own seasons, circadian rhythms and sociopolitical ecosystems. From historical centres and high-density commercial developments, to suburban sprawls and post-industrial brownfields, urban landscapes enmesh past, present, and future. The intention during this photographic exploration will be to capture this fusion of different elements of Singapore, and convert it into a new cityscape through visual exploration.

AR5957L LANDSCAPE INTO ARCHITECTURE: THE INVERSION OF CONTENT AND CONTEXT IN ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY Tutor: Erieta Attali Photography of buildings and landscapes exists in a synergistic relationship with architectural history, theory and design: these all build a framework for the analysis and communication of architecture, within the context of a larger culture. Apart from this parallel relationship, there also exists a more direct and reciprocal connection between photography, theory and the design process. This connection lies in the fact that a photographic understanding of architectural works in relation to their environment essentially amounts to an act of translation: one that builds a visual language for the expression of architectural ideas. In line with this, this photography course will aim to cultivate a context-aware visual perception on the part of the architectural photographer and the architect. AR5955I ARCHITECTURE AND DIAGRAMS Tutor: François Blanciak

This elective aims to provide students with an overview of various techniques of production and theories that relate to architectural diagrams. Its objectives are: to learn how to analyse buildings from a diagrammatic point of view, to acquire knowledge of the history and theory of diagrams in architecture, and to develop skills to generate urban and architectural diagrams directly related to design studio projects.

AR5955G WORKAROUND: AN EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN SEMINAR Tutor: Lilian Chee Assisted by: Tan Yi-Ern Samuel

Work is moving home. Though “working from home” dominates our present, this phenomenon occupies a tenuous position in architectural discourse/design: there is uncertainty in its future, and obscurity in its past. Set within a larger experimental options studio, Domestic Capital (see p.24), this graduate design seminar will introduce historical and theoretical concepts of capital, labour, agency and space, through a discourse of making and representation. Its syllabus will span from the 19th century modern to the contemporary present. Students will be equipped with methodologies to discuss, think and act around emerging issues about the displacement of work into multiple spaces. Students can expect to produce written work alongside visual and physical material, in drawings, films, models, and more. Students will conduct fieldwork and archival research; they will be asked to map networks and speculate opportunities. This studio-seminar will be run as part of Foundations of Home-Based Work: A Singapore Study, funded by the Social Science Research Thematic Grant.

AR5953G INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE Tutor: Filip Biljecki

This module will introduce data science and programming in R. It is composed of lectures and computer lab sessions, providing hands-on state-of-the-art tools, datasets, and methods to manipulate, analyse, and visualise data. The module focuses on urban problems, but it is taught in a sufficiently generic manner so the knowledge can be transferable to other domains. AR5952I OVERSEAS CHINESE ARCHITECTURE AND SETTLEMENT Tutor: Chen Yu

Studies on overseas Chinese architecture and settlement offer an imperative perspective for understanding the urban and architectural history of Southeast Asia and South China. The cultural exchange across these regions contributed to the hybrid nature of overseas Chinese architecture and the vibrancy of the built environment. With focuses on overseas Chinese architecture and settlement built in Southeast Asia and South China during the late 19th and early 20th century, this module explores their spatial configuration and architectural expression, revolving around several typologies (i.e. temple, clan association, school, shop, house, cemetery, etc.) and their settings in a broader context. AR5952J COMMUNITY DESIGN AND PARTICIPATORY PLANNING Tutor: Cho Im Sik

The module will provide a comprehensive examination of the theories, methods and praxis of community design and participatory planning. We will explore the evolution of the concept of community and its importance as the base of social sustainability and discuss the social dimension of sustainability in an urban context. While analysing approaches, principles, methods of community design and participatory planning and their applications in real-world situations, there will also be comparative analysis of different contexts and drivers for community design and participatory planning in global and Asian cities.

AR5952H HUMAN ECOLOGY - SPACE & HEALTH; SPECIAL: DISCUSSING THE SENSORIAL Tutor: Ruzica Bozovic Stamenovic

This module is a critical enquiry into the role of sensorial apparatus in processes connecting space to physical, psychological and social well-being. In the “flipped model” teaching environment, where the lecture slides are available ahead of weekly dialogues, we are debating the issues from the standpoint of sensory-driven perception. Discussions will cover topics in history-theory (culture/ context related to the evolution of healthful design, aging); holistic approaches to sensorial design (transgression from healthy to healing); and pragmatic topics and methods (universal design and investigative practices).

Students are expected to deliver small-scale design exercises and short essays, reflecting the ability for analytical design enquiry. AR5955F LITHOMIMESIS: DESIGNING (WITH) STONES Tutor: François Blanciak

This module investigates how the irregular form of stones has been—and can be—used in architectural design. Considering the recurrent fascination of architects, with building designs that look like stones, the module proposes to examine the theory that has underpinned such a mimetic approach. It also looks at how novel scanning technologies can be used to create accurate computer models of existing mineral samples, which can be used for building design. Run as an intensive elective, the module is split between a discussion-based seminar with focused readings, and a design component that involves a building project.

AR5955D SINGAPO - REDISCOVERS ITSELF (PART 1) Tutor: Tham Wai Hon & Tan Yi-Ern Samuel

Denied travel for the past year due to COVID-19 restrictions, Singaporeans have been channeling their pent-up wanderlust into exploring all parts of their island. A riff on the Singapore Tourism Board’s SingapoRediscovers campaign to promote local tourism, and utilising Debord’s theories and techniques of the dérive, students will roam, reflect, and film our island based on the themes of public housing, income gaps, tourism, public transport, and parks. Students will report back on their psychogeographic explorations in the form of a short documentary film inspired by the cinematography of films like In Time to Come by Tan Pin Pin and Lei Yuan Bin’s 03-Flats.

AR5955E SINGAPO - REDISCOVERS ITSELF (PART 2) Tutor: Tham Wai Hon & Tan Yi-Ern Samuel

This elective will build upon the work of SingapoRediscovers (Part 1) and uses ideas of psychogeographic mapping as a method to gather personal narratives and perspectives about urban space—based on the themes of public housing, income gaps, tourism, public transport, and parks. Students will produce a cartographic artefact that maps themes explored in their short films. These artefacts complement the short films and allow for new interpretations of the urban landscape of Singapore.

NUS DOA’s Architecture Internship Programme is an essential practical component that complements students’ architectural education in the classroom.

Under this internship programme, M Arch I students undergo 6-month work attachments at firms or organisations in the fields of architecture, design, infrastructure and urban planning. This provides students with valuable exposure to a range of professional experiences and skills which cannot be taught in a traditional university setting. It also allows them to observe practitioners at work, see how classroom learning translates to the workplace, and experience the rhythms, ebbs and flows of life on a job in architecture and its related fields.

Finally, the internship also helps the student progress in his or her maturity and understanding of the industry, in preparation for entry to the M Arch II programme.

AR5806 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN RESEARCH REPORT (SEMESTER 1) Modular Credits: 4

The Architectural Design Research Report is a 4000-word report with images— A4 hardcopy and PDF compendium— that would capture research, design, and presentation materials on the student’s design research. This report should build and elaborate on a body of evidence through creative practice research, using writing, images, and diagrams. The report will then synthesise these design research efforts into a full-length design research compendium that complements evidence with textural descriptions, theoretical writing and other written strategies, alongside graphic, photographic, and visual materials. Its fundamental purpose will be to enable students to develop a rigorous method and deep-dive focus in a specific area of design research. Students will be required to mount a body of evidence to demonstrate that their research has translational potential in the field of architecture through creative practice which is to be evidenced in the design thesis. Students will also be expected to exercise high-level competence in creative practice research, design thinking, representation and communication.

The following should be included in the report: 1. Title of Research 2. Research Abstract (300 words) 3. Research Approach 4. Research Context and Community of Practice 5. Research Outputs 6.

AR5807 1 SEMESTER ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THESIS (SEMESTER 2) Modular Credits: 20

The Master of Architecture design thesis will span across one semester establishing the final design criteria for achieving the degree of Master of Architecture. Students will be able to select from a variety of thesis advisors, and either align their theses with their advisors’ research interests and expertise, or pursue their own self-directed thesis themes. The two modules dealing with the design research thesis have been put together to allow students to develop a high level of competence in creative practice design research; this competence would then lead to architectural outcomes in a wide range of topics. Building on the (AR5806) Architectural Design Research Report, the Architectural Design Thesis will drive the students to take a critical position of their research and hypothesis, where the progression of the exploration throughout the semester will lead to the manifestation of an architectural proposition. Students are encouraged to extend the research programme from Semester 1 through to Semester 2, translating and transforming a research topic and hypothesis into design outcomes. Deliverables include all necessary drawings, models, photos, films that represent the research and Expansion of Thesis prep report as an A4 Portrait document, illustrating and describing the research outcomes in Semester 2. Learning Objectives: 1. To understand and critically manifest creative practice research methods in an individually directed thesis milieu. 2. To understand and take a critical position on creative practice research methods, outcomes, and evidence; and to illustrate the impacts of the modes of research on the formation of an architectural proposition. 3. To identify, position and relate individual creative practice research to a community of practice. 4. To position individual research in the larger domain of architecture and to communicate how creative practice research advances the discipline. 5. To understand and take a critical position on translation of creative practice research outcomes into architectural approaches, techniques, and strategies or tactics. 6.
