Buttershaw Live Project is a project collaborating with a highly successful local regeneration company, Royds Community Association (RCA), to buildacommunitycenterinButtershaw,Bradford,UK.

Historically, Buttershaw was one of the fastest growing area in the UK after World War II. Yet, this led to a dense population and slum. Nevertheless, Buttershaw also has a positive history Through research, a series of photos from Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College in the 1990s tells a story of community togetherness and achievements. This energy should be brought back to the whole community in order to build hope in Buttershaw.

PHASE

HOME-FOR-ALL REVIVING ODAKA

After the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the “Home-for-All” project consisted of 16 homes built across towns in Sanriku. The “Home-for-All” had initially intended to be a small gathering place for the victims of the disaster and their children, to provide a place of comfort where the disaster-stricken people who have lost their homes can talk, eat and live closely with one another

Odaka, Minamisoma City, located within a 20-kilometer radius of the power plant, yet, since 2016, the evacuation order was lifted. Even though the city has been claimed to be completely decontaminated, agricultural products from this area are still struggling for acceptance Moreover, only 19% of Odaka's residents who are mostly in their 50s, 60s, or older have returned. The fear of long-term radiation effect and not having a prospective career still haunt the youth from returning home. This proposalseekstosolvetheproblemsabove.Theproposalsuggest3phasesof communitydevelopmentprogramtoreviveOdaka.

ROLE:

In this project, I teamed up with two colleagues and actively contributed to various stages of the design process. During the brainstorming phase, I played an important part by analysing the urban surroundings with the SpaceSyntax. As the project evolved, I focused on developing detailed diagrams as we elaborated Japanese architecture’s details in the design. Additionally, I took charge of assembling the competition board and creating comprehensive concept text and diagram, ensuring clarity and coherence in our design narrative.

‘Hyperdensity’ is a competition project to design an urban area of 1 square kilometer that can accommodate 100,000 residents Jakarta is chosen as the site’s project since it is a fast-growing metropolitan city. Due to the city’ urbanisation and suburbanisation, interrelated problems are created in both the city and the suburbs. In this project, we propose relocating suburban residents concentrating them (commuters and rural area inhabitants) and one region, which, based on transit-oriented development (TOD), is Dukuh Atas. Concentrating the population in one region leaves the peripheral (suburban) area with green spaces that can serve natural biodiversity Reconnectingcitythroughagricultureisourdesignapproach.

If we imagine ideas, people, and disciplines as particles, architecture could be the particle accelerator. Maybe that’s what Jonah Lehrer meant when he said, “the most creative spaces are those which hurl us together. It is the human friction that makes the sparks.”

Creative Hive is a creative pop-up architecture installation located in Bandung, the capital of West Java Province. Bandung is chosen as the project’s site as it’s an . Moreover, innovative center for creativity and entrepreneurship 56% of Bandung's economic activities are related to design, such as fashion, graphicdesign digitalmedia and

I then translated the design concept into a detailed 3D model and designed the facade to reflect the cultural context. Having experience in numerous hospital designs help me through reduced design time by 50% efficient 3D modeling. My artistic abilities were further utilised in creating stunning render images that brought the project to life.
