The competition requires to design an emergency operations centre that caters to future displaced communities in Sub-Saharan Africa that frequently faces unexpected natural disasters. Therefore, the design is not fixed to a specific location and can be assembled under emergency conditions.
Wooden pallets are used to form the emergency centre in aim to provide immediate relief as they are easily available and the affected people can engage into the construction of the centre, giving them a new sense of hope.
The worst flood phenomenon strike the sub-Saharan African continent
Emergency response can be improved with allocation of more emergency centres
Available pallets supply Pallets around flooding grounds is made use as main resource for building material to increase efficiency

The modular nature makes it flexible for users to manipulate the spaces that they need for specific conditions. The provision of aids is highlighted as a sense of safety and security to the displaced. The quality of its architecture from uniquely efficient material has the power to bring together affected communities.

The brief for my final year BSc project is to reinvent the embodiment of a commercial brand in order to tackle local sustainability challenges through philosophical translation, strategy, and action. Bukit Bintang is outlined with a range of modern architecture and its contrasting paradox of traditional forms that is present through the cultural centre and preserved traditional houses. Injecting an activity hub that blurs the boundary between modern and traditional further allows social cohesion in the community.
Bukit Bintang – Through the observing lens Cultural preservation Modern landmark Traditional landmark Street markets & festivities Shopping paradiseThe site is located between the urban fragments of Bukit Bintang shopping hotspots, cultural attractions and street markets in the heart of Kuala Lumpur
The active urban sociology of Bukit Bintang, especially with the occurence of festivities has hindered the cleanliness of the area. Furthermore, the shopping paradise concept of Bukit Bintang is inadvertently instilling lack of awareness towards fabric waste. These issues further brought up the topic of upcycling
Blurring boundaries through the presence of art
Inspired by Issey Miyake’s brand efforts in sustainable materials, my proposal is to create an upcycling advocacy hub through fashion where people create wearable art from plastic scraps. Without coming off as a vulgar concept to the community, the advocate hub is packed with artistic activities that encourage a sense of playfulness, inadvertently instilling a form of casual rather than formal learning towards the end users. The concept of technology meets culture is applied through various ranges of programmes, from waste bin innovation with a reward system to creating their own fabric origami and fashion runways.

The designed programme involves harnessing of ‘sunnah’ foods through hydroponic farming within the comfort of the users’ own home. The harvest can then be consumed or can be sold at the farmer’s market allocated within the premise.

The site has a unique triangular shaped site, with dual access. The proposal main aim is to achieve GBI standard through sustainable approaches.

Being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, home owners look for flexible approach from family living to home office. Flexible spatial configuration by using convertible flexi wall partitions encouraging flexibility in design.
The proposal is to design a central housing complex for the managers and workers of the oil palm plantation. The development shall be a new landmark for the Seri Intan Estate. The site which located at the intersection of expressway and main road gives added advantage featuring it as a new landmark and focal point.
