THE FACE OF PANDEMIC: QUARANTINE AND HEALTHCARE HABITATION The thesis examines a world landscape after the pandemic. The spread of infectious diseases is rising due to globalization, increased travel and trade, urbanization, populated cities. Pandemics cause a short-term fiscal impact and a long-term economic impact on the nations around the world. Efforts to curb the pandemic include imposing quarantine, preparing health facilities, isolating infectious cases, and tracing contacts involving public health resources, human resources and implementation costs. It also involves health system expenditures to provide health facilities to infectious cases. Millions of people around the world have had to quarantine, self-isolate, and social distancing. Our lives have drastically shifted into what many call the new normal.

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT: THE EDEN OF HEALTHCARE Singapore has become one of the world’s most interlinked hubs within a highly populated metropolis, it is vulnerable to the virus and may spread towards other countries across the world from our country. The prolonged Covid-19 pandemic is likely to have a long-tail effect on mental health, as stress levels rise with the uncertainty of the outbreak as well as the economic downturn it brings. The facility envisaged the most efficient and long-term utilisation of the resources for the epidemic of any future outburst of pandemic. The Eden of Healthcare proposes to provide spaces for quarantined persons with spaces for interactions by introducing recreation activity spaces and gardens. This will also engage quarantined people constructively, creating a positive environment and help reduce the stress they go through.

Architecture being forced to adapt
COVID 19 restrictions transformed the places of work, study, commerce and leisure. For the multi-use of work/education, commerce/leisure and private/public space, architecture was forced to adapt, be adapted by the user and designer alike. The public-private response to the pandemic rapidly consolidated contemporary issues of health, urbanism and architecture. one that promotes wellness and celebrates life. It’s an architecture that makes people feel safe and can be trusted while still being inspirational. It’s design that supports the human experience at every scale and level of our daily lives.
Calvino's Invisible Cities
"Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are asurd, their perspective is deceitful, and everything conceals something else."
Rall.way by ANDY MOK, GOH YI FAN & TENG YING SHI Rall.way is a rejection of a typical Transit-Oriented Development (TOD): one that is usually dense and heavily built up. The intervention almost serves as an extension from the existing Admiralty Park: a juxtaposition against the currently indoor centric Woodlands Square. Through integrating research and recreation via landscape and wetlands, opportunities are provided for work, leisure, and play, boosting the wellness of researchers, locals, and international visitors alighting from the Rapid Transit Station (RTS). Split into three hubs: healthcare, agri-tech and botanics, they all aim to provide a calm, peaceful and multi-sensorial atmosphere for the users, a step away and a drop in tempo (rallentando) from the rapid and busy atmosphere in a typical TOD.

A healthcare and quarantine facility for the Post-Pandemic Society The current pandemic has shown the world that greater emphasis is needed on healthcare infrastructure in order to be prepared for the future events. The Kunming- Singapore railway ambition is to be constructed as part of the Belt and Road initiative between China and Southeast Asia countries. The proposal of our TOD allows a smooth entry from Malaysia, Johor to Singapore, facilitating a seamless travelling experience. The Eden of Healthcare is co-located with the Rapid-Transit Station(RTS) & Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities.
Sectional Exploration This architecture created by water is a hard surface, then environment allws the users to freely establish new forms of relations and to give meaning to the space.
Sky Infinity Pool , Herbal Steam Bath, Aqua Fitness, Whirl Pool, Jet, Floral Sauna and Sun-Tanning Area Visitors are encouraged to utilise the pool and spa facilities while keeping their distance for safe distancing as these activities brings several health benefits. Beyond plessure, it reduces the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease. The COVID-19 virus does not transmit through water while swimming. However, the virus spreads between people when someone has close contact with an infected person.
The Eden of Healthcare proposes a healthcare facility for compulsory quarantine with the provision of healthcare systems within the green spaces. It proposes to provide spaces for quarantined persons with spaces for interactions while obeying social distancing. They will engage quarantined people constructively, creating a positive environment and help reduce the stress they go through. Landscape and nature are integrated within these to contribute to the visitor’s healing emotional distress within this restorative environment of prolonged quarantine facilities within a restorative environment.
Garden Terraces: Healing Garden, Sensorial Garden, Participatory Garden, Green Walkway and Flower Bridge Both passive and active contact with nature bring mental and physiological benefits that aid in healing and rehabilitation. Gardens benefits the visitors’ well being with hightened senses as a stress reliever. The Flower Bridges will be used as the main circulations to get across mid level for those who are feeling unwell.
Forest Garden at Lobby, Health Care Facility and Quarantine Facility Trees are planted densly to simulate a forest atmosphere where the users have to meander and find their way through these spaces. The Forest Garden located in the middle is the Lobby’s atrium is entitled for the visitoes to take their temperature and swab test before proceeding to their designated units.
Single Unit Quarantine Facility Single Unit Quarantine Facility is attached with individual balcony and shared garden between 4 units to prevent virus transmission. Each visitor will be given a 2 levels unit of 128m2 area.
Hawker Food Street and Grocery Mart A Hawker food street gives them a sense of home. Hawker Culture in Singapore is an integral part of the way of life for Singaporeans, where people from all walks of life gather at hawker centres to dine and bond over their favourite hawker food.
Family Unit Quarantine Facility Faimily Unit Quarantine Facility is attached with individual balcony and shared garden. A family of two to five will be able to share a single unit of 258m2.
Single General Ward These single general wards are for patients with moderate symptom . The is negative pressured and each individuals only occupies one storey of 64m2. Visitors and fmily members are able to visit them in a outdoor setting with consistent ventilation.

2050 HOUSE OF MUSE: THE MUSE OF NATURE AND SUSTAINABILITY By 2050, the global population is expected to increase from seven billion to 10 billion. That will require rapid urbanization and the construction of 13,000 buildings every day for the next 30 years. Buildings contribute 30% to 40% of global energy consumption and global carbon emissions, and embodied energy has been increasing over time. It now makes up about 20% of global energy consumption. Reducing energy consumed by these buildings is a critical factor

How Much Energy Does It Take to Run a Museum? Sustainable strategies for Sustainable Museum in 2050. How design can help conserve energy in its myriad forms? Architecture as divided into two categories: operational energy and embodied energy. Operational energy is the energy for heating, lighting, and cooling. Embodied energy is the energy required to extract, produce, transport, and assemble materials that go into creating buildings. There are many ways to think about and measure embodied energy. different materials contributed different amounts of embodied energy. Materials like concrete, stone, and wood contributed a little bit, while metals like steel and aluminum probably contributed the most, comparatively. Architects should not just design the building and its form, but designing the site of extraction of raw materials and the process of factory production. Maybe we can design with more time in mind. Not just designing from the day the building opens, but designing all the way back to when the tree was planted.
Looking at how the museum operates, air conditioning is on 24 hours a day, and there are environmental requirements [in order to protect the art on view] that you don’t have in probably threequarters of new buildings that are going up. We can't shut the lights off on the weekends, because people are here. There’s an increasing recognition of buildings and architecture playing a role in the climate crisis, and increasing efficiency in things like heating, lighting, and cooling make embodied energy a bigger target. As materials become higher tech and higher performance, more energy goes into them. .
There’s an increasing recognition of buildings and architecture playing a role in the climate crisis, and increasing efficiency in things like heating, lighting, and cooling make embodied energy a bigger target. As materials become higher tech and higher performance, more energy goes into them. Life cycle of buildings - many architects don’t think about buildings aging. the materials used for their life cycles and embodied energy, is a calculation that could become part of the way architects build. Therefore, this proposal proposes a design for disassembling. It can be easy to disassemble or hard to disassemble, and its materials can either go into a landfill or they can potentially be reused.

AQUASCAPE : QUESTIONING ANTHROPOMETRY AND ARCHITECTURE FABRICATION Distrupting and moving beyond how architecture is designed, constructed and experienced, digital manufacturing (3D Printing construction) and ushers the new era of architecture. Latching onto the issue of rising sea level, the Sponge City concept is conceived which democratizes water to design for the landscape. These geometried created a spatial experience of a Play Scape where the environment allows the users to freely establish new forms of relation and meaning to the space.

Water finds a way The design democratizes water to design for the landscape. Water, as the architect created geometries represented with acetone as water on th blue foam. Acetone is dripped in constant volumes on the intersection of grids on the blue foam. The crevices merges with one another and creates different volumes with width, depth and texture.
Labrador Infitude : Preserving the harmony of the environment The project aims to address this issue of water scarcity and raising stress levels amongst Singaporeans. Working with the natural surroundings of the Labrador park, the two-storey bath house is built on the hill top of the hill, capitalizing and overlooking the panoramic view of the Singapore Strait sea. It serves the guests and the local community with a relaxing experience that provides therapeutic health activities. The building main access is via a long slope serving as a ransition down to the architecture in the landscape.
