Site Analysis
Dwelling
A meditation hub that blocks out the hustle of the outside world and provides a central place for respite for working adults. Building mass and topography work together to act as a boundary, creating a cavern-like experience.
Others
Three main site parameters were analysed: Human Traffic, Gradient of Current Topography, Auditory Stimuli. Analysis of human traffic was informative on how the development would impact the existing users of the site, and also the potential type of people it would attract. Gradient of the ground levels were then studied to understand how the current situation would aid my design and to what extent the topography would have to be changed. Most importantly, to create a quiet environment, existing sources of noise pollution had to be identified so as to find ways to mitigate these noises.

At the yoga studios, visual interaction with the central courtyard space is minimised, while apertures at the rear open up to views of the trees, at the same time allowing natural daylight into the room.
Pockets of spaces can accomodate large group meditative activities and also smaller scale or individual activities. Apertures are such that when seated, it frames the view of the tree canopy which brings one closer to nature. Movement of the trees in the wind not only casts a play of shadows but also produces a sound that is calming. Meanwhile, human activity at the ground level is blocked to prevent distraction.

In the day, the museum is a mysterious, quiet, opaque building. At night, it glows from the activities within, offering a peak of what is going on inside. The porous, expanded mesh at the exterior envelope acts as an effective natural light filter into the interior spaces. In addition, by having glass of varying depths from the envelope as a second skin or a lack thereof, it creates pockets of spaces that would determine the museum-goers’ interaction with the outside environment and spaces could be naturally ventilated for exhibition or rest.

INTERLINKED
December 2018 Mentor: Professor Trevor Ryan Patt A mixed-used development that consists of 70% residential, 12% commercial and 18% communal spaces. All residential blocks are interlinked horizontally and vertically, with elevated and connected communal spaces nested within the 16-floor high towers.
Looping Green Spline Further Enhances and Connects all Spaces
Rapid increase in population coupled with limited land in Singapore has resulted in social housing to grow vertically such that typical residential buildings become isolated, monolithic blocks. Public dwelling is pushed upwards, on top of high-rise sky-scrapers while culturally-rich public realms still remain on the ground level. This rigid separation of public and private programmes limits interaction between residents, causing people to be socially disconnected. This is particularly prevalent in Punggol, where the public areas are under-utilised. An investigation into the higher levels of the residential blocks would reveal that most of these residents prefer to keep themselves within the confines of their shoebox units.
Linked Communal Spaces Nested within Residential Blocks
The proposed urban massing features various public programmatic spaces nested within residential blocks at very level. These spaces are generated from a central point and linked together to bring people throughout the building and across the different blocks, placing emphasis on horizontal connectivity instead of the rigid vertical ones. Formation of public programme was by the diffusion limited aggregation method - aggregation of particles by brownian motion mimics spontaneous gathering of people. Residential blocks were then formed around these nodes and links. Vertical and Horizontal Circulation

The ground floor was largely determined by the overall circulation around the site, across the entire ‘L’ shape and the footprint of the building blocks. Important destination points such as MRT station, bus stops, other HDB flats across traffic crossing were identified and straight lines for access were drawn between them. Thereafter, pathways at the ground level was planned according to these connections. This is done not only to provide convenience to passers-by, but also encourage them to visit the retail shops and use the facilities, eventually boosting the vibrance of the central communal spaces. The centre of the site sports two large open plaza that can host ad-hoc activities. There are also benches and pods carved into the ground that offers a space for smaller-scale activities or discussions. Above the ground floor, communal spaces diffuse into the residential blocks at every level, through every block. By bringing these spaces closer to the living spaces, it will motivate residents to spend time outside of their flats and mingle with their neighbours. The corridors joins every block in the development, further promoting horizontal circulation above ground level - residents do not need to detour to the ground level to visit a neighbour. Additionally, these corridors link all the lift cores together, boosting the connectivity throughout the development. The cores can serve all the blocks - an additional opportunity for residents to meet and interact with neighbours from other blocks.

4. Large family nucleus made up of multi-generation members - large mansionettes are designed with the flexibility of configuration to suit the changing needs of the occupants. Large apartment units usually serve a family up to thirty years, where commonly, children will eventually move out of the house. The ability to break-up these large apartments into two separate units will then allow their use to be extended beyond these years. Again, the ground floor is barrier-free and can accomodate the aged couple.

These units are modular to facilitate stacking and shuffling of units. The placement of the units is shuffled and integrated with one another to allow inter-mingling of the different types of family nucleii - young families could look out for the elderly residents and vice versa. The less-private spaces such as dining and living rooms are pushed to face the corridor to encourage occupants’ interaction with neighbours. The dining rooms could even be opened up to accomodate guests and allow a spill-over of activities into the corridor.

EXPLORATION
April 2018 Mentor: Professor Chong Keng Hua Landscape and Model-making Team: Chong Kar Wei, Chan Li Yu, Rebekah Low, Fang Zi Xin, Wu Kai, Zou Chu Chu Tan Tay Kindergarten in Vietnam is an existing site that has half the school building torn down due to its weak foundation and an impending storm. Hence, this project proposes a new addition to the demolished site and improvement for the remaining blocks. Working in collaboration with Capitaland who will be funding the construction costs for charity, this project explores the possibility of creating a multi-layered play experience for the students while simplifying the design to within a budget.
Concept for the landscaping for Tan Tay Kindergarten in Vietnam that draws inspiration from the five elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. Thematic zones are designed from each respective element featuring characteristic landscape from around Vietnam, such as the Trainscape, Farm, Cityscape, Beach and Mountain.
Trainscape (Fire) Train-tracks and carriages run along the backyard of the ground-floor classrooms, creating private niches of outdoor play space for each of these classrooms.
Urban Farm (Earth) Bamboo grove passageway hosts climber plants while a large plot of land is dedicated to grow edibles for children and teachers alike to do experience hands-on farming.
Cityscape (Metal) Concrete-covered assembly grounds also host the re-using of light-weight steel play structure that already exists on the kindergarten, but require repair and repainting.
Mount (Wood) Inspired by the mountain ranges in Northern Vietnam, a small mount is created in the middle of the courtyard to provide an extra platform for play. This also acts as an elevated landing for the outdoor staircase which begins on the mount.

CRE8TURE
December 2017 Mentor: Assistant Professor Jason Lim Team: Sandra Cheng Su Cheng, Ong Jie Min, Poon Weng Shern, Wong Yi Xin, Zhu Wentao Architects such as Antonio Gauid and Heinz Isler built physical models to help design three-dimensional forms that were structurally sound. This assignment aims to replicate such analog techniques using computational models to help simulate the form-finding process. We had to design a pop-up structure that is either ornamental or perfomative to be placed in the studio. A simplified spring particle system using grasshopper simulation will be employed to design the form.

In this assignment, our team had to design a gallery with basic restroom ammenites and a viewing deck situated in Pulau Ubin. The scheme had to take into account sensitivity to environmental factors such as wind, rain and sunlight. In addition, we had to look into structural details such as foundation and supports for the roof.

TOWER
April 2018 Mentor: Assistant Professor Stylianos Dritsas Team: Ng Jian Yi Mervin, Ying Francoise, Ong Wueng Kee, Ong Jie Min Thin, light and flowy - the design of the wind tower sings the same language as the wind that flows through and within it. The tower’s elegance and sleekness are visually expressed through the thin and gently spiraling wooden frame of the structure. It whirls gracefully with the entwined, pure anddelicate fabric of the wind turbine that dance within it in a vertical manner. The cleverlyfine-tuned joinery system supports and conceals itself in the midst to accentuate the design. This exquisite blend brings out the true nature of the wind.
