Vlaardingen: Adaptable Urbanism Opportunistic Urbanism Thesis Studio 2016
Programme: Flexible Masterplan
Description The current trend shows that the development of Rotterdam Port has been shifting towards the west end coast as the sixth phase of Europort has been established in 2008. Indeed increased economic revenue of the expanded port is expected, but the question is about the abandoned former harbor area that is turning underutilized. This thesis aims to challenge the current conventional planning method that has fallen to segregated zone and ‘mechanical’ market society. Flexibility would be the vital key to develop an adaptable masterplan for Vlaardingen. Considering that no investment seems interested in developing this site, it opens up the opportunities for a more flexible masterplan. Nonetheless, a planning without a rule is not a planning. Rules play a great role in preparing a flexible masterplan of Vlaardingen. By building their own city, their own home and their own living environment, future Vlaardingen would be a collaborative place based on demand-driven. How would a block be designed to be more responsive towards changes, instead of being ready to use from the beginning? How will Vlaardingen be a self-made city?

Carlton: The Loop Land Use and Urban Design 2016 Studio Leader: Robyn Pollock
Programme: Precinct revitalization
Description The Cultural, Educational, Contemplational and Recreational Loops spread across Carlton with Pedestrians in mind aims to create a track that is fed by the neighborhoods nearby and nourishes the community housing at its heart. • The Recreational Loop will promote and support various divertissements and, “loops” the heart of Carlton to the Oval and other sports and leisure facilities. • The Cultural Loop will promote and support cultural and heritage oriented programmes as it ties various retail strips alongside with museums and intellectual facilities. • The Education Loop through the borders of the University of Melbourne acts as an academic precinct whose proximity holds great value to the heart of Carlton as it acts a Gateway into the CBD. • The Contemplational Loop framing the Melbourne Cemetery provides countless possibilities for its inclusiveness into Carlton’s morphological anatomy.

Karratha: The Gateway of Pilbara Urban Design Studio B Developing Northern Australia 2016
Programme: Township revitalization and post industrial regeneration Detail A
Description Northern Australia is well known for their mining industries. The Pilbara as one of the greatest mining area in Northern Australia is responsible for a significant portion of the production, value, exports and investments of extraction industries commodities particularly iron ore and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Australia (Regional Development Australia Pilbara, 2014). Its proximity to the Asia is one of the advantage. By 2030 Asia will represent approximately two thirds of the global middle class population and of middle class consumption.

Detail C
However, the glory of the mining age is predicted will fall by the next twenty years. What opportunities does the city like Karratha as a post industrial town have in the future? The proposal is keen to prepare Karratha for a myriad of transformations that will amplify the economic, social and environmental structure of the outback town without disregarding its character thereby ameliorating its identity.

Urban Catalyst: Road to Iden(city) Urban Design Studio A Re-imagining The St Kilda Junction, Melbourne 2015
Programme: Landscape urbanism and mixed programme
Description A catalyst should be conceived of as a series of projects that revive the urban fabric. For a catalyst to be successful, it needs to: generate social and economic activity, be located near commercial establishments (single / mixed use), be within walking distance of other developments, and have strategically planned entrance and exit points that will shape pedestrian movement. 1. Identity and Character A development attracting pedestrian traffic can serve as an amenity. A development can also influence a one’s perception of an area if it survives in an area previously noted as derelict. 2. Catalyst Superblock The development needs to be near commercial activity that could benefit from the catalytic effect. This is especially true for retail developments to maximize on potential income and increase urban density. 3. Promenade and Connections Creating pedestrian is one of the most important way that a project can encourage development.

C House - Urban Green Living Architectural Design Competition 2013
Programme: Residential Housing, Green Modular System
Description The modular system used in the C House is based on the basic shape of hexagonal form of the honeycomb. A 2x2x2 sqm module is interconnected to form a unitary structure for the house. The honeycomb module as the system enhances the rigidity of the whole structure. Flexible and modular elements of the hexagonal form enables an opportunistic architecural design as it provides more variety and possibility depends on the needs and context of the place. “The comb of bee-hive, as far as we can see is absolutely perfect in economizing labor and wax.� Charles Darwin
