ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO 2 010-2 016
ABOUT ME I tend to take an holistic approach towards my work: to me, architecture frames the lives of people in response to circumstances, and collaboration between designers and non-designers is the key towards a design that sustains the community. I am part-designer and part-scientist; my initial background had been in health sciences where the system of care coordination and the sociocultural aspects of the community is integral to everything, architecture included. My decision to pursue architecture stemmed from the belief that the built environment becomes the outcome of these dynamics, which in turn impacts humanity.
2
As an architect, my interests are in strategic thinking and taking on a wicked issue, not because of its resistance towards a resolution but it reveals the complex interdependencies within and beyond design, all of which deserve a voice in the resulting form. These interests have culminated towards my recent thesis on hospital architecture, with a focus on humanizing hospital and healthcare spaces. I am currently involved with a large and high-profile project that is situated on a challenging site, and aims to push the conventional aesthetics and function of public housing in Singapore. As a scientist, my interests are in the systems and feasibility of things, and it has made me grounded and methodical in my approach to design. To me, the function and consequence of design is often more important and valuable than form. I see architecture as the melting pot of many disciplines and as a sharable thinktank, and I enjoy thinking laterally and practicing architecture in an applied way. A curiosity about the world and the people around me has made me step out of my comfort zone and gain exposure in other roles beyond the architectural industry.

CREATING LIFE BETWEEN BUILDINGS: BIDADARI ESTATE C1-C3
Schematic Design to Tender Stage | 2014-2016 Public Housing, Urban Design, Commercial, Community, Living
Located along Upper Serangoon Road, Alkaff CourtView and Alkaff LakeView are amongst the first few public housing developments in the new Bidadari estate. The Bidadari estate is envisioned as a sanctuary where residents can enjoy a green and relaxed environment, well-served by a variety of amenities. Located in the new Alkaff district, these developments are near the proposed Alkaff Lake (inspired by the former Alkaff Lake) and Bidadari Park. As their names imply, each development has a distinct view. A landscaped roof deck within Alkaff LakeView overlooks the Alkaff Lake and Bidadari Park, while residents of Alkaff CourtView will enjoy landscaped courts at their doorsteps. This project seeks to blend social, landscape, and sustainability design strategies, with the unique focus being ‘Creating Life Between Buildings’. NEWSPAPER CUTOUT OF LAUNCH

The design especially focuses on minimizing the height and appearance of blocks and multi-storey car parks so that they blend into the terrain and landscape. Varying levels and heights of the void decks have been strategically located to capitalize on Bidadari’s rolling hills and also provide opportunities for different types of spaces and activities at the ground storey.
7 Leveraging on a hierarchy of interlinked green open spaces, C1-C3 creates a sequence of greenery of diverse scales and for a variety of activities, to promote resident interaction and community vitality. The building blocks are situated to address the street, creating a friendlier scale and a hierarchy of public & semipublic spaces between the street and the inner courtyards. This place making is intended to create more closely knit resident communities and give them a sense of identity.

The precast facade treatment incorporates the use of alumnium fins and panels. When combined with the varying degrees of green and blue, they break up the massing of residential stacks and stay loyal to the colour scheme adopted by the original Bidadari masterplan.

CARE IN PLACE: REDEVELOPMENT OF NORTH SHORE HOSPITAL
CARE IN PROCESS: INFRASTRUCTURE
A
Thesis for MArch (Prof) Year Two | 2012-2013 Healthcare, Commercial, Community, Urban Design, Education, Living
This thesis has been inspired by the growing conviction of the need to look for fundamentally fresh approaches to hospital typology, driven by the idea of returning the hospital to society as a milieu of care and good health.
Care in Place
B
237
Approaching from the evolution of care, and the values of the city, it examines key generalisations made about the architecture of hospitals which has largely incapacitated its ability to provide a perceivably caring setting within contemporary contexts. A suggestion of trends hospital design could adopt to complement adjacent societal trends in relation to healthcare is made, which culminates in a postulation of approaches to re-evaluate what a healthy, caring place should be like, by attaching symbolic meaning and local sense of place. A design-proposal, implementing the findings of the thesis’s for a large community hospital in the suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand, is presented as a test-bed for architectural speculation for a future generation of hospital design that delivers care and exuberance on all levels. The end result is a ‘health campus’ of seven buildings, including the general hospital, as well as community, education, commercial and accommodation facilities.

Programs that are more community-oriented are sited in the middle, or the ‘heart’ of the site. While acute care is obviously more important and urgent than non-acute care, thinking of the core as a social space (rather than the actual general hospital) would facilitate better community care than the other.

CHRISTCHURCH MASTERPLANNING
Semester Two | MArch (Prof) Year One | 2011
Urban Design, Commercial, Community, Education, Industry
The context was a melting pot of industrial businesses in ramshackle concrete sheds to High Street’s stone and masonry architecture housing quaint eateries and handmade merchandize against the backdrop of a tertiary institution. Polarized development resulted in conglomerates of large, single storey warehouses to the barren plot of land residing north east. As much as land development is organized on 220x100m rectangular land blocks separated by 20m-wide roads, building densities felt highly inconsistent, and land blocks were too large and lacked a ‘system’ in lane development and street frontage. My solution was to develop logical organizing systems that would make future building, infrastructural construction and landownership extremely feasible, consistent and cost-effective – which would in turn articulate a formalized massing system specific to future function.
18
The breakdown of the city grid created highly connective spaces, strengthened interspatial relationships that were adaptable to programs. This was determined through existing parcel boundaries, open spaces and existing buildings, and aided through site analyses and line projections. The future needs of vehicular mode and integrated transport systems are reinforced; cycle ways were implemented, pedestrian pavements widened on main roads and several off-street parking were implemented, pedestrian pavements widened on main roads and several off-street parking sites removed to diffuse a car-driven area, serving to slow down traffic to prioritize pedestrian-friendly spaces and safe walking distances between blocks.
The increased porosity between buildings allows for smaller entities to be embedded in pockets of spaces, and smoothens transition in reconstruction, and compliments the strong geometrics of subdivisions by increasing the metabolism of land ownership to appropriately attract a diversity of economic drivers. This is in the interest of cultivating a Christchurch-y’ social dynamic, driving employment over time, making for breathable spaces with potential for greenery to grow inbetween spaces. Other interstitial spaces in-between buildings are transformed into gardens and community / social areas, offering a range of compact mixed-use typologies within convenient perimeters. Process of massing and program allocation was determined through Council plans and analyzing the nature of existing buildings. Existing buildings were mostly converted to minimize unnecessary demolition and serves to function for the population while new mass is built.
MASTERPLAN, CHRISTCHURCH PROGRAMMING SPACES AND PROPORTIONS The nature of resolving this particular master-plan started off with a frustrating dilemma in striking a zen communal space containing integrated amenities with a commitment to the public youth realm - and between conceived envisions of a new glorified Christchurch, and what was actually deliverable on an economically and legally realistic urban scale. The context comprises a diversified set of amenities from industrial businesses based in ramshackle concrete sheds to High Street’s stone and masonry architecture housing quaint eateries and handmade merchandize – all against the backdrop of a tertiary institution. Block-unit developments were polarized from ones catering manufacturers and car dealers – resulting in conglomerates of large, single storey warehouses to the barren plot of land residing north east. as much as land development is organized on 220x100m rectangular land blocks separated by 20m-wide roads, the general feeling was that building densities were highly inconsistent, land blocks being too large, and lacking a ‘system’ in lane development and street frontage within certain blocks. The resolution therefore needed to not only address the needs of a youthful, knowledge-driven population and identify with their culture and lifestyle, but create porosity and a permeability of space. thus, a fundamental decision was constructing a logical organizing system that would make future building, infrastructural construction and landownership extremely feasible, consistent and cost-effective – which would in turn articulate a formalized massing system specific to future function. A linear ‘building grid’ was developed for a transparency in connectivity and perspectidal street viewing to strengthen relationships between spaces, that is adaptable to programmatic size, flexible in deciding where and how to build new mass. This was determined through existing parcel boundaries, open spaces and existing buildings, and aided through site analyses and line projections. The future needs of vehicular mode and integrated transport systems are reinforced; cycle ways were implemented, pedestrian pavements widened on main roads and several off-street parking sites removed to diffuse a car-driven area, serving to slow down traffic to prioritize pedestrian-friendly spaces and safe walking distances between blocks. Through grid extrapolations, land parcels were further subdivided to increase the porosity between buildings to cater for smaller entities, and smoothens transition in reconstruction (where smaller units are built bit-by-bit sequentially, rather than at once). The ‘particalization’ of land compliments the strong geometrics of subdivisions by increasing the metabolism of land ownership to appropriately attract a diversity of economic drivers into specific blocks depending on program, in the interest of cultivating a dynamic area that is Christchurch-y’, drive employment over time, making for breathable, light-accessible spaces with potential for greenery to grow in-between spaces. It furthermore explores a number of creative ways to utilize vacant land in between buildings. Pockets of open spaces are turned into gardens and communal areas. Particalization of land also appropriately offers a range of compact yet integrated mixed-use typologies for young professions within convenient perimeters, making livelihoods holistic and enriched. Process of massing and program allocation was determined through Council plans and analyzing the nature of existing buildings. Existing buildings were mostly converted to minimize unnecessary demolition and serves to function for the population while new mass is built.

GENERIC-SPECIFICITY
Semester One | MArch (Prof) Year One | 2011
Culture, Hospitality - Part of an urban scheme for a group project
Art studio spaces are explored through several key strategies primarily focusing on a keen mediation with the land: Orientation of building mass references the peripheral context and the manufactured landscape it sits on. The standard cube is used as the generic building block to generate a variety of volumes through it’s multiplication, displacement and stacking in space. This is considered along with the strategy to approximate the peripheral physical context, circulation lines created by the manufactured landscape, and the desire to incorporate an internal courtyard.

The result is a continum of interconnecting strips that graces across the site, some of which are elevated and submerged into the ground to create a continuous threshold of varying climatic experiences. Spaces are interchangeable, and wall area is maximized for its use as a public gallery. Circulation is key to the brief, whereupon the roof areas which meet ground level are turned into walkable surfaces. Lightwells punctuate interlocking volumes which highlight points of convergence, and horizontal apertures created on walls facing site boundaries to create exposure between artist and the public, and a series of light and dark spaces.

PHYSICAL MODELMAKING: OF BUILDING AND SITE
SILO PARK Competition Entry | Evolo | 2013 Ecological Intervention Industry, Agriculture, Presentation As part of a group entry with Sung Yun Kong, Adrian Kumar and Chuyan Qin: Involvement in photoshopping and compiliing A1 boards in Indesign.
Group Summary: Our proposal to construct a methane bio-digester to harvest and store methane posits more multifaceted benefits than current methods. Not only will mankind be able to utilize an already-abundant, promising energy source that would replace the use of other non-renewable fuels, it also effectively control and mitigate pollution than other means of energy production, in the critical fight against climate change. Our design sheds a favorable light on cow farming beyond conventional food production schemes.

THERAPY CENTRE
Semester Two | BAS Year Three | 2010
Community, Mental Health, Office, Education, Ecology, Analysis A combined design, BIM-modelling and construction technology proposal
The aim of the brief was to generate a design resolution informed by environmental data peripheral to the site’s vicinity, through site studies not limited to physical, climatic and socio-economical and cultural aspects. These were to exhibit a degree of authority over the development of a building that acts interdependently to specified external factors and ecology. The site is stitched in the heart of a youthful and incredibly diversified cityscape. my proposal for an art therapy centre is derived from the need for a ‘greenspace’ that would punctuate the urban fabric and provide people with a sanctuary for visio-spatial physical relief and the need to improve wellbeing of both site and inhabitants. With the context already saturated with eateries which attract lunchgoers, it was desirable to develop a scheme which compliments and generates commercial growth of other businesses. it is envisioned to be a stress buffer of a caring and sensitive nature that absorbs the fast-paced tension in the area.

Conventionally, art therapists work in small practices or alone, so developing a central facility not only brings therapists of different disciplines together, but allow clients seeking therapy to be offered a range of facilities to choose from. such a prominent, well-exposed spot encourages both practitioners and clients to showcase their artistic talents in built-in gallery spaces, and retail spaces pertaining towards the sales, services and advocacy of therapy are designated at the street frontage. A green theme is integral with the design, with the top floor dedicated to an intensivegrowth garden roof, glasshouse and internal courtyard zone for clients to engage with nature through topiary, planting and sandplay therapy within the intimacy of themselves.

THE ORIGINAL GRID Semester Two | BAS Year Three | 2010
Digital fabrications, Furniture: A modelling paper and a group project with Adrian Kumar and Shiqi Lin.
The aim is to produce ‘informative’ furniture informed by context. Interior spaces are fundamentally shaped through furnishings. A multifunctional, multi-assemblage piece would thus be preferable, as the user could alter the relationship between spaces. Materials used should reflect security and familiarity and nostalgia, because of its domestic nature. Secondary to this is to produce ergonomic, cost efficient pieces suggestive of its function, not overly dictating. Each user, by their unique assemblage and use of the various components of the furniture, deems it unique from that of the other person. A solution is realized in the form of a 1m3 tangram cube structure, which is able to be separated into a few different components. There is a variety of ways in creating ergonomically-fit furniture by rearranging the components into different positions, such as a chair, table or bed. Their internal structure comprises of a braced lattice system derived from a virtual 3D model. Overall, it is a simplified, multiplex object derived to serve as a unique influence on context and satisfy consumer needs.

A proposal for a negotiation centre that uses state of the art mediation methodologies and the protocols of traditional Maori grievance forums, within a unique heritage landscape of a colonial battleground, the Ruapekapeka Pa. This proposal arises from the lessons imbued in the site including the will to move beyond war and into non-violent conflict resolution. The name of the centre Mua Muri is Maori for ‘past’ and ‘future’, drawing on the Maori concept of time where ‘mua’ implies past, yet also means in front. ‘Muri’ implies the future but also means the underpin the proposal.
