THE AXIS Information Work Office Building 5th Year Final Project @ Manchester, UK

design concept The design concept behind “The Axis” is the concern of the growing domination of software over materialised form, the main idea is to promote the value of place in the midst of technology advancement, the best of both worlds: Physical iii ii combining i iiii iiiiii i i settings and virtual venues will complement each other within transformed patterns of urban life rather than substitute ones. masswithin ingexisting development

B L O C K S divided into two building massing with a central open garden,

acting as a symbolism of both traditional and technological, aiming to provide a contrasting office environment for the users: The building is also orientated to face two contrasting views, on the west would be the busy highway while towards the east would be greeneries of mountains, the contrasting views with the building serving as an axis and further strengthens the symbolism.

TOR Mining Consultancy Information Work Center 6th Year Final Project @ Cornwall, UK

design concept Located at the site of Wheal Jane, a disused tin mine in Cornwall, United Kingdom, the design concept of a series of geometric volumes is inspired by the stunning rock formations all around Cornwall, with various uniquely different rock structure created entirely by nature. The flagship is to develop a self sustaining Earth Science Center, attracting a variety of earth science related business with the Wheal Jane Group offering global consultancy services as the post mining catalyst of the site.

A T R I U M , the feature staircase is made up of multiple components, an undulating lattice envelopes a four meter wide grand staircase which ascends three stories from the ground level through the sky-lit central atrium, which itself extends into narrower stairs until it reaches to the full height of the building. This vertical piazza is the social heart of the building, providing a place for impromptu and planned meetings.

is conceived as a platform to foster collaboration and cross-disciplinary dialogue among the private companies and the Wheal Jane Group which consists of five interrelated businesses, previously housed in separate buildings. The building reverberates with light and shadow as the double glazed glass allows light to penetrate into the raw concrete internals, akin to light sipping through a cave-like experience.

v i e w i n g d e c k From the double-high

entry lobby, the feature staircase in the atrium ascends five stories to terminate in a public viewing deck overlooking the iconic tailings dam and the scenic surroundings. The views are framed for a near undisrupted panoramic view of Wheal Jane, to allow the users to appreciate and view the beauty of the massive tailings dam.

eco system Future Sustainable Park Undo Redo Workshop

design concept The ECO-SYSTEM addresses some current needs of the Damansara Jaya community: a green public realm to soften the dense urban development, a multi-purpose hall to cater for various activities and events, and a food court. With Damansara Jaya facing constant traffic congestion problems that will only worsen, the proposal of converting Damansara Jaya to the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first bicycle friendly neighbourhood is a logical solution. Bicycle ramps connect several nearby parks to the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bicycle sky-bridge which is located right below the roof canopy, encouraging cycling as a future means of commute.

The ECO-SYSTEM is a flexible module or prototype which can be incorporated elsewhere to mitigate problems wrought by rapid development.

SILICoLOGY

Self-sustaining Desert Mega Structure LAKA Reactive Architecture Competition

design concept

Silicology is inspired by living organisms that has survived the harsh conditions of the desert through evolving and adapting at a cellular level. With reference to the theory of complex systems which self-organize and adapt to the environment, the distinctive features of the animals and plants are adopted into different components where the intricate relationship between them functions together as a system cree workability er explored and illustratedating into a a regulated architectural ecology, an optimum living environment to thrive in how the development progress. hash conditions in the form of a mega structure.

program

The bottom mass functions as a storage unit to collect all the componentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s output to be cycled throughout the structure and service the possible accommodations on the upper levels.

structure

A series of rigid smart metal frames support the bracing and tessellated panels that lead to snad bag and water tank foundations.

bracings

The secondary structure drapes over the metal frame is the skeleton backing for tessellating panels to fixate to. But the bracing also provides extra tension for the main structural frame as it twists in two directions

tesselations

Various combinations of the components that function together so that the tessellation provide an interesting and changable facade on the very exterior of the structure.

INITIAL DATA

The concept aims to bring waste within the commercial sector to the attention of the business and customers. Categorising and visualising the types of waste within a business will enable a new type of eco-branding to be developed to represent a businesses positive actions. The facade system will be made from heavy duty recycled ETFE that is inflated depending of the business waste levels.

The facade system is retrofitted to existing buildings using a light-weight recycled steel frame structure and is inflated by absorbing and filtering surrounding air into the ETFE tubes, purifying the city’s air at the same time.
