motivation Since I was a child, I have always appreciated nature. However, I never considered pursuing this passion of mine as a career until I was inspired to incorporate my love of greenery into my residential bachelors studio coursework. I believed that landscaping was the solution to address liveability of spaces at high densities and to preserve and enhance diversity and I integrated horizontal and vertical gardens across various scales and uncovered the potential of landscape within the realm of urban and housing. Landscape can curate both a buffer boundary and a communal space. The project was successful, and I was given an opportunity to represent my university to share my project with students and practitioners during an event organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects.

I am interested in creating a green and ecologically-balanced urban environment to foster a better relationship between people and their environment. In my previous career in Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl, I was in charge of adventure play, designing outdoor courses for youth to promote team work and psychomotor skills. I worked with a German high rope course specialist to develop the project. I have a keen interest in creating liveable and exciting public spaces for all. To further my interest in working with nature, I have also embarked on a 2-month organic farming experience in New Zealand to learn more about self-sufficient sustainable food, water and energy systems.

My bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Sustainable design has equipped me with the skills of design thinking which enables me to design for more unique, effective and empathetic solution. My ongoing master’s programme has equipped me with knowledge and skills for spatial design with plants and vegetation, and to design through multiple scales with time. I have understood the importance of multi-disciplinary collaboration in design processes from ideation to schematic prototyping, and fabrication.

Personally, I would like to gain new experiences, as an avenue to learn and grow, and also to seek to turn challenges into opportunity. I strongly believe in the iterative design thinking methodology and also the sustainability of participatory design. Lastly, I think that a project cannot be done alone. It requires good team work and collaboration.

MSC LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, TU DELFT . QUARTER 1 .

The site is a former stone quarry - the ‘Meertensgroeve’ – located in Maastricht, Netherlands.

Meertengroeve was a forest before man intervened through mining and now it is in the process of naturalisation. Is returning back to nature the best way forward?

The design focuses on the relation between space and time: the expression of landscape features and process in design and the interaction between landscape and human sensorial experiences. Deisgn is done through scales of a garden, building ensemble and a landscape route. Vegatation and planting design is used to curate the multi-sensorial perception.

man-made intervention

returning back to nature

Meertengroeve quarry aims to increase awareness of its’ process. To understand the quarry as a man-made intervention, the design concept is to strengthen the man-made quality through an emphasis on geometric pattern- linear strokes along the cliff and organic curves at the base. This influence the positioning of the architecture, planting and movement of visitor. The cliff face accommodates the architectural interventions. The buildings are small instances, narrow and longt to react to the steepness. The angles of the roof line respond to the cliff linear strokes. There are 3 different views offered at different heights. This influence the height positioning of the building. Haptic study of journey from the top to quarry bottom show how the experience can be curated with different levels of enclosure, materials and sensation.

This studio project focuses on understanding the peat landscape and culture of the Waterland, Noord Holland. Understanding the natural and man-made conditions, from past periods to new conditions, some key problems are surfaced. Prioritising agriculture as a value to the Dutch Lowlands, the project explores opportunities for agriculture and nature to work hand in hand to achieve sustainability in the long run.

During the initial stage, there is explorations with 2 scenarios to tackle the challenge, One of the idea was to build water storage towers but practical aspects limited the growth of the project. The main concepts were retained and the project developed to refine the design across different scale levels.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE THROUGH WATER MANAGEMENT At the Broekermeer polder, there is the problem of monoculture, fluctuating water supply due to climate change and nutrient-contaminated waterway. With these arises the opportunity for a cyclical agrarian metabolism through having more water in the system, nature-inclusive farming methods and enhancing the polder identity.

As such, the project aims for sustainable agriculture where there is closed nutrient cycle, resilient water cycle, higher water levels and care for landscape elements.

Using bamboo as the basic building material, this studio study of the basics of bamboo in architecture, including the social and environmental aspects, the spatial and typological dimensions, the technical details and the canonical projects of bamboo architecture.

The studio travelled to Vietnam to study the characteristics and activities in bamboo villages and visit the works and office of Vo Trong Nhia to discuss our projects and initial findings.The second visit to Hangzhou, Xikou allowed us to understand the site of intervention and develop a integrated approach to supplement the current master plan.

This project aims to illustrate the strength and flexibility of bamboo through arches.

Using the basic operation of array and twisting, we uncovered a catalogue of spatial typologies. To supplement the current cultural trail that the village is developing, we are proposing a landscape trail with 7 iconic bamboo buildings. From which, we chose 2 buildings, the Visitors Information Centre and the Teahouse, to develop the spatial qualities, structural strategy and envelope conditions.

by Liaw Suxin & Audrey Tan

P I RPOI R UO EPU TI TE RETOTUEE T T E DESIGN CONCEPT To illustrate the strength and flexibility of bamboo, we have chosen primitive arches as the basis of our experimentation. With two simple operations of array and rotation in our exploratory formfinding, we were presented with a variety of spatial typologies.

Forms derived from our exploration were then thoughtfully selected to fit the spatial requirements of our proposed spaces.

PROPOSED MASTER PLAN Our intervention seeks to complement the masterplan through the addition of a landscape trail. The landscape trail showcases the nature elements of Xikou Village.

JOURNEY OF BAMBOO & ITS COMPONENTS

VISITORS INFORMATION CENTRE The Visitors Information Centre marks the start of the Xikou Landscape Trail, situated near the main entrance of Xikou Village. From the catalogue of formal explorations, the geometric form that consists of (i) a large conical interior space (ii) with sky light is chosen for the Visitor Centre. There is a reception, a resting lounge, brochure shelves, exhibition spaces and video screening area which showcases the rich history and culture of Xikou Village. The Visitors Information Centre is designed to be an iconic sculpture and the form is oriented to allow the afternoon sunlight to enter through the sky well. The sky well helps to emphasize the landscape trail‘s natural element - the sky.

This is the second ‘Urban Living’ project on Urban Habitation at an urban, building and unit scale. The project responds to the themes of connectivity, diversity and density.

My concept of urban habitation is to integrate the green spaces into the urban, building and unit scale on both the horizontal and vertical dimensions through blurred boundaries.

On the urban scale, I did a park typology study to illustrate the workings of the different parks along the Park Connector Network. On the building scale, the massing comprise of the central park, stadium, hill and linear park cluster. Each green cluster is derived through the permutations of module which defines a space with the minimum amount of enclosure. Lastly, in the unit scale, I have 1 horizontal unit type and 2 vertical unit types.

Both unit types convey the concept o-f having shared communal gardens and private gardens.

With that, green spaces is integrated into urban living at different scales.

Using the undulating properties of the wave, this wavy furniture that doubles up as a play-scape by creating opportunities for people to interact and play.

The duality of the furniture allows for multigenerational interaction as the children explore and climb up and down the wavy strip while adults sit along the furniture. The design of the wavy furniture incorporates different sitting positions: sit with backrest, sit without backrest, lie down and leaning against while standing. Also, the furniture is modular and mobile to allow for expansion. Residents can arrange and shift the furniture around with accordance to their needs. The modularity nature of the furniture also allows for the extension of the wavy strip such that play-scape is adapted to the constraints of its environment.
