1a:
Precedent Studies:
The project’s criteria was to study about two different spatial typologies, linear and concentric with the help of two buildings as precedent studies. On top of that, we have to understand the poetics of architecture of both of the buildings such as the meanings and reasonings behind the colour, materials and purposes of the different spaces and materials. This project opened my eyes on how rich of history and significance the buildings hold. Moreover, the buildings that were picked of two different eras. This made me realised that architecture is more than design and construction of the buildings but moulded with such poetics that made the buildings just simply splendid. Every detail. Every colour. Every symbol and meaning.
learning outcome
• Identify and explain different spatial types in architecture, and how they inform spatial use and experience • Identify and analyze case studies to inform the design project
objectives

The Journey for The 5 Senses This project was to design two different structures of the two different typologies with the main awareness of having it hold the meanings behind our understanding of a chosen poem. I loved this project’s criteria. It enabled me to understand my feelings upon my own designs and had me give more meaning and awareness on my design structures. It enabled me to be as abstract as I could be, shape my building and see my building structure as an art instead of a plain building structure with purpose. This project was a combination of literature, history and art, which had me reckoned that when architecture had purpose in not only the function but also meaning, architecture itself is a molded sculpture of the architect.
learning outcome
• Create tectonic expressions of different spatial typologies which impact on the uses and experiential conditions of space • Generate design through conscious consideration of sectionplan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality and textures • Produce drawings, modelling and verbal presentation to com municate and visualize architectural design and ideas

2a:
The site that we had to analyze was situated in Bukit Brown, Singapore, a closed municipal cemetery, which was also one of the largest Chinese cemetery in Asia, out of China. As a group, we basically learned a lot about our own site and the whole of Bukit Brown such that we covered from the type of trees, total number of graves, neighbouring contexts, history and people’s use and basic views on the site. I had a lot of fun doing this project. We had only a few days to prepare for our presentation and within the few days, we could cover a whole lot of information of just one place. Understanding more about people and the place was basically what architects had to have exposure to and this project had us practice.
• Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context and the ‘genius loci’ of place

The motive of this project is to design a Visitor Interpretive Centre for the users and visitors of Bukit Brown. Bukit Brown is situated in the heart of Novena in Singapore of about 200 years old. It is a closed municipal Chinese cemetery and now being used partly as a natural park for the neighbouring residential area. Many activities besides paying respect to the deceased are being carried out in Bukit Brown such as bird watching, walking the dog and jogging. Although Bukit Brown is being used quite effectively, it is also observed that not many people come to pay respect to the departed so as due to the belief that Bukit Brown holds quite a number of tombs that have been there for decades, generations beyond the current generation.
[my aim for my VIC design is to reconnect the current and later generation with the touch of Chinese heritage and the bold and significant belief of death in Chinese terms such as to educate and give an understanding of the true meanings of the tomb motifs, idea and concept of death and reincarnation]

[design idea + concept] death of the dead My idea compromises 3 main factors:
[death + ornamentation + new highway • Death: the Chinese belief in death is very deep. The significance of death and reincarnation can be assumed as the belief that the Chinese hold that can make them stronger as a person in life and encourage him/ her to be good in the world for the better next afterlife.
North-East Elevation 1:100
• Ornamentation: The motifs and ornamentation on the tombs can be very intricate for the very old ones and as the generation journeys through time, it becomes simpler and simpler. These intricate ornamentations and motifs have meanings and symbolise something such as some sculptures represents as guardians and some motifs represents the gardens of heaven. • New Highway: I feel like the highway has not benefited Bukit Brown in conserving its heritage. This 8-lane purposed highway has started to exhume the tombs and it is calculated that around 5% of the total number of graves situated in Bukit Brown, which is about 5000 tombs.

2b:
With the help of project 1A, 1B and 2A, Project 2B was simply a mixture of the three subjects. Required to design a structure that could hold hold our feelings of our own design and site, respond to the site analysis and have the poetics that it could accumulate after a certain period of time. One of the best projects that could have you think really deep on basic design principles and integrate with more of you. I enjoyed this project and loved how I could mould my structure as much as I wanted to have it fit to my feelings and views on the site, its character. This project was also integrated with Building Science 1 Project 3 so it also gave us the users environmental awareness.
learning outcome
• Generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context • Generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials and texture • Design small scale community building which response to the site

• Identify environmental conditions related to site conditions, climate, etc. • Explain the effects of the sun on the thermal performance of buildings. • Explain the effects of insulation, thermal mass and air movement on thermal performance of buildings. • Infer how different building material (Kvalue, U-value, R-value) has different effect on heat gain or thermal environment in a given space.
conclusion
objectives
This project dove us deep into the main teachings and understandings of Building Science 1, which was uderstanding the awareness of environmental conditions related to the site, effects of the sun and wind on the thermal performances and air movement in the building and the different effects on heat gain that would be produced by using different types of materials. This project gave us the opportunity to analyse and gain knowledge of our own desired site, and give opinions and comments due to it was being based on human experiences. Thus, we had to understand what was our own meaning of ‘thermal comfort’ and later on understood the orthodox perception of thermal comfort of a person and if the site is beyond the range of thermal comfort zone, what would be the best solution to resolve the stated issue.
Air Ventilation

After finishing the experiment, we came to a conclusion that although the room is slightly outside the comfort zone, we still find ourselves quite comfortable at the place. The room is well orientated such that only indirect sunlight enters the room, thus not allowing any direct heat from the sun. It is also well ventilated due to the two large windows and because of its large space; there is a good airflow.

Research Paper
objectives
The Dusun Research Paper project is basically the same concept as the first project but on a bigger scale and deeper look into it. We had to have 12 journals as proof of research and we had to go for a site visit to gain experience of an ‘environmental friendly’ house to understand the use of the different techniques of construction that could capture the basic passive design. This project also gave us the opportunity to calculate and judge the selected site to how effective the concept and building construction tally and gave us the chance to evaluate and estimate the control of heat gain to desirable conditions.
• Identify environmental conditions related to site conditions, climate, etc. • Explain the effects of the sun on the thermal performance of buildings • Explain the effect of insulation, thermal mass and air movement on thermal performance of buildings. • Infer how different building material (K-value, u-value, r-value) has different effect on heat gain or thermal environment in a given space. • Estimate heat gain in a space and to provide passive solutions for it. • Evaluate control of variables such as heat and ventilation. • Judge the limits of acceptable or desirable conditions (thermal environment) and recommend designs that control the effects of sun on the thermal performance of buildings (shading devices). 10

Understanding Forces in Skeletal Structures
The project’s criteria was to built a 30cm high tower structure by using only 200 popsicle sticks and thread. The ‘stalwart’ means dependable or reliable. My group and I wanted to build a tower structure that delineate this word such that it could withstand such a load for the longest time. Although, we couldn’t actually finish the tower on time and the final top module was done quite roughly and on the day of testing, it bent before we could stop it. This project was an introduction to the structure construction systems and the understanding of the connection system, load and the law of static. It enabled us the knowledge of the limits of popsicle and thread model making as well.
learning outcome

• Apply construction system in design • Recognize implication of construction systems in design • Analyse the issues of strength, stiffness, and stability of structures including modes of structural systems, and law of static
objectives

Stalwart
Our idea derived from the concept of a box enforced with glazing on both sides and repeated vertically for the chosen height. This is derived from brainstorming solution for distributing load. In a box, the force is distribute evenly on all four sides, and together with the enforcement of glazing,

Fabric is both a traditional and a high-tech material whose form is directly related to the forces applied to it..
In this project, we were to required to produce a suitable scaled model under the chosen topic, surface structure. The model was supposed to give indentification of the construction details of a precedent study, which was the Burnham Pavillion in Chicago by the architect Zaha Hadid. Under all circumstances, this project gave us the understanding of how a surface structure reacts under loading and the literal and accurate construction detail of the particular building, the Burnham Pavillion. This project also gave us the ability to figure out and solve model construction details to get the desired form and if I may add, it was not an easy task at all. • Identification of basic structural systems in construction • Compare the construction in solid and surface structures • Differentiate solid and surface construction systems in terms of loads and forces acting on structural elements • Implications of construction system in design
objectives
Fabric is an amazing material. As Zaha Hadid puts it “Fabric is both a traditional and a high-tech material whose form is directly related to the forces applied to it..” The Burnham Pavilion was chosen to reflect the given theme of ‘Surface Structure’ and for it’s interesting application of fabric on a metal structure to create a dynamic and organic form.
zaha hadid
The Burnham Pavilion was created for the centennial celebration of Daniel Burnham, an architect who was the main figure in the creation of the master plan for the city of Chicago. Designed by Zaha Hadid and team, the pavilion is superimposed with hidden traces of Burnham’s organizational systems. The result is an elegant organic structure made of fabric tensile stretched across aluminum frames. Opened in October 31st, 2009 it is a reflection of Chicago’s ongoing traditionof bold plans and big dreams.

This project was an introduction to the softeware, 3Ds Max. The students were required to design or copy an abstract sculpture on the software and explore the different functions and possibilities of the software. For my sculpture I decided to be a bit edgy and ambiguous. Since this project was the first one, I had helped from the two different tutorial lecturers on how to make the project worthwhile. It was an interesting project, if I may add. It showed me that computer-based software designs could be used in a whole new level and that it was definitely not an easy task. Though, I really did enjoy this project.

We were asked to explore our imaginations, inventiveness and story telling abilities when creating the animation. For my animation video, I decided to explore my mind. Although, after a long while, I found out that my mind was always just exploring things and absorbing informations like it was an empty space that will never become full. But eventually, after much thoughts, I could not handle it and may burst into stress and tensions sometimes. This animation shows much literal description of my mind.

• Analyse and discuss the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural and intellectual context within the Asian region. • Differentiate the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of Asian architecture and urbanism. • Produce orally and in writing, a critical interpretation of Asian architecture and urbanism in relation to relevant theories within the contemporary discourse of architecture.
objectives
In this project, we were to required to produce a case study paper regarding of any chosen issue of a city within the region South-East Asia. So I had chosen to pick the topic of Ornamentation and Seoul of South Korea. This project not only gave me a very deep understanding of the ornamentations and meaning of the purpose and legends of these traditional Korean temple motifs and and carvings, it also gave me a wider understanding of the relationship between the history, architecture, people, culture and tradition of South Korea. It was quite an interesting project to wander through. I had a good time exploring and researching about this topic through the different medias of researches such as interviewing some Korean friends of mine, reading and watching the Korean temple documentaries. Moreover, this project intrigued me until I felt like I need to go to South Korea to explore more on their fine arts and traditional beings. The Korean tradition not only harmonize with the food, music and dances but also with the contemporary design which many places out there are quite in a shortage, having to fast to move throughout the modern movement.

Case Study: An Asian Street • Describe the historical development of the main strands of Asian architecture. • Identify a broad range of issues related to the historical and chronological transitions of Asian architecture history. • Interpret architectural language in relation to the development of Asian architecture and urbanism based on theme of tradition, modernity and globalization. 22
objectives
The case study of An Asian Street was to enable us to explore a street’s architectural, social and historical street life it holds. My partner and I chose the Orchard Road of Singapore under the topic of High/Commercial Street and explored the many stories it held when we were there. It was an interesting journey throughout our visit and we met a number of interesting people along the way. This project really gave us the experience that we needed. It also gave us the oppurtunity to observe the different types of street life and how did it fit perfectly within the city and country. Moreover, how the people were the artists that slowly moulded the street into its being. We were required to criticize and give opinions of the architecture and urbanism in situations of tradition, modernity and globalization through our perspectives. This project had opened my eyes and gave me the first-hand experience of one’s ‘local’ environment. It was an enjoyable project that had given me the insight of the street’s historical and chronological transition.

Ar. Tan Yeow Wooi This workshop was to give awareness of Kampung Cina and conservation. Conserving Kampung Cina’s heritage, history and itself was our main target. We had to come up with ideas on how to conserve it from its simplest form of structure to its history and heritage. Since I enjoyed my first few projects of Design Studio and Asian Architecture, this workshop gave me the oppurtunity to experience the projects first hand. I had to basically integrate the two subjects into one week of pure exposure. Moreover, this workshop gave me the exposure and experience to work with architects, had them view my work and presentations, and experience again first hand critics and opinions from the start of the project untill the end. This gave me the extra understanding that I needed. On top of that, I made many new friends and worked with many kinds of people, which wasn’t bad at all. I really did enjoy the week and shared many views on many different things with many different people altogether.
