01 FLOATING HAVEN Course: Reinvigorating And Re-Densification Of A Vertical Urban Shophouse Instructor: Daniel Joseph Whittaker Site : Chicago, USA
The main program of Floating Haven is a cosharing and co-living spaces for short-term lodging or home stays for about 10-25 people. The fundamental concept for this project will be the agglomeration of public, semi-private and public spaces throughout all the levels of the buildings. The house will have three types of zones: private (individual rooms), semi-private (communal spaces for small gatherings or working) and public (lobby, communal kitchen).The main concept of the project will be the interlinking of private and semi -private zones so that the occupants can choose to either have their private moments or mingle with one another readily. This studio focuses on re-adapting an old row-house located in Wrightwood,Chicago. When coming up with the programs, structural, programmatic and daylighting needs were considered, as well as the examining the urban identities surrounding the existing locale.
SITE ANALYSIS
The building is located at the junction of two streets, West Wright wood avenue and north Clark street where varieties of facilities are located. Just Next to the building are fast food shops and grocery stores like 7 eleven and pizza hut. There are also amenities shops located nearby such as portable furniture shops, restaurants and even banks. Further down the street, is the commercial square where many commercial shops like are located. SITE PLAN
0 1:500
The building chosen is located in Chicago, more specifically on the eastern end of the West Wrightwood Avenue. The building was chosen due to its strategic location. The building also offers unblocked views, which will be a good opportunity to use to for rooftop programs.

02 THE HOPE SCHOOL Course: Sustainable Design Option Studio/ Term 7 Group Members: Shoon Lei Khin, Low Si Hong, Caleb See, Loh Jia Yun, Tan Hui Yin, Chong Kar Wei, Wu Kai, Zhou Chu Chu, Mai Shengxian, Chan Li Yu, Rebekah Low, Fang Zixin, Ong Jie Min, Wong Yi Xin, Afiffah Binte Ab Ghapar Instructor: Dr. Chong Keng Hua Site : Long An Province, Vietnam The hope school is a pre-school for the children from 3 months old to 6 years old of age in Tan Tay Village, Vietnam. The project is in collaboration with CapitaLand Vietnam whereby we got the rare opportunity to have our design come to fruition and make a difference to the community residing in Tan Tay, Long An province. This project is a nine-month long project where participatory community design workshops, site visits to the existing kindergarten and preliminary design ideas to the stakeholders had been done prior to the actual ideation and design of the kindergarten in January 2019. In March 2019, the studio travelled to Ho Chih Minh City to present the final design concepts to Tan Tay Kindergarten principal, teachers and Capitaland Vietnam. The construction of the final design is scheduled to start in May 2019 and will culminate in a expedition organised by Capitaland in October 2019.

Hope School was designed with these three E’s in mind: exploration, expression and excitement. To enable learning through exploration, the landscape was designed to accommodate diverse activities for children to experience. In between spaces were reimagined to house creative learning opportunities, giving the children a place to express themselves outside the classrooms. A large open space for children to run and play, facilitate an environment for learning through excitement.

03 RAFFLES CRESCENT Course: Building Information Modelling (BIM) Group Members: Shoon Lei Khin, Hendriko Teguh Sangkanparan, Rebecca Tan, Ng Su Wen Instructor: Bige Tunce, William Saputra Site : Finlayson Green, Singapore
A mixed use office centre that bridges connection, business, and nature, now and for the years to come. It aims to form a platform of access, networking and social space destination for businesses and professionals with a consciousness in nature, timeless, and forward looking business centre that is built for the sustainable future. Numerous factors were considered for the site analysis such as green spaces in the vicinity, traffic and wind were done before the ideation of the concept design. Once the concept design had been finalised, the 3d model was then cadded in Revit. The project brief is to design a mixed use tower in a Central Business District that includes spaces for offices and retail with the focus on sustainability and energy-saving. Programmatic Distribution, Vertical Transportation within the tower, and numerous factors such as GFA, NLA, Utilisation Ratio, Green Area Percentage, Public Area, Lifts cores were also put into consideration in this project.
SITE ANALYSIS
The site is situated within the Central Business District. Within this urban area, there are both man-made and natural green spaces for office workers to gather and get away from their hectic work.
Since the site is within CBD, Singapore’s vibrant and highly walkable economic center. Hence, it becomes crucial to factor in the large volume of people passing through the site, especially to and fro main traffic nodes such as MRTs and bus stops. In addition, the site is situated in between two major arterial roads and beside an important cross-junction. Its desirable position in a central location can provide for interesting design strategies.

The site is situated within the Central Business District, with buildings with various heights surrounding it. The wind flow analysis assuming wind direction is blowing from the sea, suggest that there is a relatively low wind area at the site. This is an opportunity to create a micro-climate effect to modify and create a more comfortable office or living space.

Sustainable Strategies (Cooling And Ventilation Strategy) air in air out sunlight
Cooling Vines And Green Pockets
Pot Plant Planter Boxes
Wires run throughout the building and let vines to grow upon it to act as shades from sun and reduction of wind speed acting as a natural filtering mesh. This reduces the need of the air-conditioning as natural shading devices are used and available.
Pot plants are not big trees yet it is sufficient to reduce the high wind speed of the higher open floors, creating a comfortable space rather than a too windy space. the plants are also the first line of defence from the harsh rain of Singapore.
Direct Green Ventilation The availability of greens around the development enables circulation of air from areas that usually requires ventilation. ie. maintenance shaft and toilets. The availability of trees will act as natural purifier and thus enabling a much lower energy used to make these amenities comfortable.

04 THE FOUNDERS’ MEMORIAL Course: Core Studio 1/ Term 4 Group Members: Shoon Lei Khin, Tan Zhi Wei, Hendriko Teguh Sangkanparan, Yu Jia Xin Instructor: Ong Ker-Shing Site : Marina Bay East, Singapore
Our Founders’ Memorial is a living memory of Singapore that grows as time passes. It aims to be an educational site that commemorates the efforts of our Founding Fathers and evokes a sense of pride towards Singapore’s achievements thus far. At the same time, the Memorial blends seamlessly into daily functionalities of the site. We would like to encourage people to make the most use out of the existing grass plain, which aims to be a recreational space and rest area for anyone and everyone. The Memorial is an intentional space where we have full control over the activities within. In contrast, the outdoor field is a free and open space, its purpose dictated by its occupants.

05 DINO Course: Digital Design Computation / Term 4 Group Members: Shoon Lei Khin, Samuel Halim, Peng Mao Yu, Lim Kian Chong, Elvin Kee Instructor: Jason Lim
The project aims to create a pop up structure that makes use of the particle spring system, with the real world support situation. Making use of the design computation with the physic concepts of spring system, the structure is fabricated with steel wires and numerous modelling techniques. The concept of the project is the abstractness in our structure that can be used as an artefact in the studio. As such, from different points of view, the structure can be evolved into different forms with different interpretations.
CODE EXPLORATION
With the templates codes given to us, we explored and modified the codes to find the general shape of the structure we want to create. We also explored different kinds of curvatures (inward and outward indentations, cantilevers) with different grid systems (rectangular, triangle, hexagon) and different numbers of anchor points that we would like to have in our structures.
GRASSHOPPER PROGRAM PART (A)
PART (B)
Part (A) creates the grid which is then used as input edge lines. Part (B) determines the length of the individual segments in the structure and lays out all of them in a single plane based on their row numbers. These lines are later then exported and printed out to be used in the fabrication processes.
PROTOTYPE PHYSICAL EXPLORATIONS We experimented with the way we were to construct our sculpture and our initial impulse was to have a seamless joint so as to form an almost continuous line to not detract away from the sculptural quality of the piece.
Joints were heat shrunk to connect the wires at the common bent length. Small plastic tubings were also used to secure the joints, but it was found out that those tubings were not strong enough to hold the wires tightly.
Joints were also soldered and sanded to keep them fixed in place, but the same problem persisted.
Super glue was then tested for the joints. However, the joints weakened and considerably when three wires were required to come together at a point as the point of connection between them lessened.
Hot Glue Gun was the last option that we attempted which achieved a similar result as soldering as the wires are connected through a small ball of glue. The amount of inaccuracy could also be reduced as the hot glue granted us a greater amount of time to align the joints, allowing us to achieve higher consistency in joining the wires and to make adjustments before attaching the wires. The difference in materiality is a little jarring but it was a compromise we chose to make.
