By synthesising the relationship between natural human thinking behaviour and existing natural elements — the young Saman Samanea tree, this studio design aims to seek a shared frequency between users and site through the biomimetic language of intersecting roots and its phototropic interpretation of horizontally growing shoots.

architEcturE and thE KitchEn-gardEn

By learning from the neighbourhood’s way of creating place, design framework initiates a rethinking of the primitive relationship between Architecture and the Kitchen-Garden, as a response to the identified gardening constraints in the current living typology of terrace housing, enlightened with the existing terroir culture found in their backyard. In response to the neig bourhood’s gardening tectonic expression, the fundamental 3 subsequent steps of design were proposed : Ad-hoc as Spirit, Pockets as Magnets, and Gardens as Dissolvers. Envisioning the typology of “architecture and the kitchen-garden”, the park is now a part of their habitat.

Reliving the place identity of Medan Pasar as a non-destinational place, Community Prototyping Transit acts as a pass-by-street for Transient Communitiesto drop by for hands-on and serviced repairing, while a one-stop-center for Creative Communities to settle in for creative business inheritance.Responding to the Sensitivity of Time in Medan Pasar, the retracing of Time as Spatial Generator is used speculate the actual space-use perception of Perme-ability, Morph-ability, and Borrow-ability, to create a Design Framework to generate a collective yet specific design to secure the co-existence of Creative Communities and Transient Communities.

By mapping the relationship between Retiree, Returnee, and Mentee, reflecting back MBI’s vision of envisioning Ipoh as a Filming Base, I pictured the programme of this project to be a Community Making Basecamp, to catalyse the ad-hoc culture depicted from the street expansion, to the rest of the landscape of Ipoh, - A Montage Project for the Remainents.

The vision of the Canaanland is based of the basics of human needs and wants. Dwelling into the context of Overpopulation and the invasion of Artificial Intelligence, this land manifest the adaptation of Pod-House (Private Space), On demand Parametric Urban Planner ( Temporary Public Space) and Jireh Factory (permanent space) with them regulated by AI depending from the demanded order from the Big Data.

rEliving tanah mElayu

The primary intention of Rumah Malaysia is to facilitate an architectural system to tackle the lack of adaptability & sustainability of the existing imported housing typology from the west in the era of urban sprawling. Hence, we have attempted to envisioned the ‘house’ of a ‘hypothetical Malaysian family through the assimilation of dwelling concepts of our predecessors who walked in the land of Tanah Melayu : Gua, Pasar, dan Balai.

dEPrivatising urban void in Kl goldEn trianglE

Thesis outline an existing solid-void relationship mapped on the upper part of Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle, as the resultance of gated property boundary, disconnected circulation (cul-desac), and underutilized urban void, leading to the design problem, a malnourished perception of place. Instead of proposing an utopianistic design with sustainable measure and play-live-work efficiency, this research is rather an experiment of dimensional perception of space and pathspace relationship, in relation to the formative process of an individual’s private mapping of place.
