CO WORKING AND EXHIBITION
The large plot behind the Holland Village Market is to be developed with mixed-use building typologies aimed to promote inclusivity and variety through lively activity courtyards and anchor programs. The Learning Lab is primarily a student focused courtyard consisting of three distinct buildings working as one symbiotic system to promote vibrant learning. Demographically, students and office workers make up a large proportion of visitors who frequent Holland Village due to its proximity of NUS and One North. Thus, an education cluster is aimed at bridging the gap between school and work life is fitting as an anchor program. Cross mixing programmes are strategies employed to ensure inclusivity. A “key space� in each building located on the public circulation path where one can witness the overall learning activity that is taking place in the particular block as an invitation for passerbys to participate in the vibrancy of the edu-courtyard.

HĂœRB is a garden lifestyle store that sells garden furniture produced by local artists and designers who collaborate in situ and produce their prototypes for exhibition, display and commerce. A large piece of landscape that spanned the whole site was lifted up to bridge the on site topography levels, creating a large public space for a furniture park or rooftop exhibition space which people can use freely. Cones were embedded in the landscape to become the unifying element between light, structure and retail spectacle. These spectacles provide the elements for a unique retail experience, as the openings carved out of the cones frame people using the furniture on the landscape that is sold in the shop and workshop activities. People outside can also look inside the cones to see the retail activity. Ramps within the cones transverse all levels as a circulatory promenade.

NUS / Year 4 Semester 1 Individual Work Supervisor: Simone Chung / simone.chung@nus.edu.sg Site: Tokyo, Japan Main shopping arcade maximising views of the aquarium
Tsukiji is a highly contested site possessing numerous identities. With the fish market’s recent move to Toyosu on the 11th of October 2018, many eyes are watching the future of Tsukiji. What will become of the future of Tsukiji? The site was studied through its social networks, at the small, medium, large scale to assess its impact on the human relationships that had built up over a period of 80 years and will soon be fragmented, given the move. Tracing events through history, obvious capitalistic motives can be seen and its aligning timelines with the legalisation of Integrated Resorts in Japan seem too suspicious. The project thus draws upon these converging timelines to project a future for Tsukiji as an Integrated Resort that houses a casino within. Rather than a half attempt at
preserving Tsukiji’s historic identity, Tsukiji is bestowed a new identity as the new profit generating site in Tokyo. The taboo regarding gambling and casinos must be understood and dealt with sensitively. Marina Bay Sands and the casino within is used as a case study - along with its surrounding shops, museums and familyfriendly programmes. Aquarium that masks a hidden casino
In Tsukiji’s context, the aquarium is used as a masking program to give the casino a new “face” while catering to the different target audiences through circulation and maximising the presence of the aquarium in the midst of this expansive and phased development.

Scale of Social Networks This scale looks at the personal human interactions and sensorial experiences of the individual.
This scale looks at the efficiency of the workplace and its intangible relationships and networks.
Case Study: Aiyo Coffee Shop
Case Study: Outer Market
Case Study: Inner Market
The small enclosed space between sellers and customers make the interaction intimate and familiar, and the lively atmosphere is heightened by friendly smiles of staff.
The outer market is always busy and bustling with tourists, locals, sellers alike. Many signs and shouts to attract visitors to come to the shop. The atmosphere is lively.
The inner market is customised to meet needs of sellers, such as the turret trucks, non-slipper stone floor and storage space located in the back lanes and above the stall.

NUS / Year 4 Semester 2 Elective Group Wvork with Individual Portion Supervisor: Junko Tamura / akijt@nus.edu.sg Site: Tokyo, Japan
This project is a continuation and redevelopment of the Year 4 Semester 1 project (entitled Tsukiji Casino), which concluded that a casino would be built on the site of the historic Tsukiji Fish Market once it has moved to Toyosu in October 2018.
The programme of a fashion design district is chosen due to its close proximity to the high-end fashion district of Ginza. The local artist residencies are designed in flexible configurations by size of studios, privacy level and activity programme.
The recent move of Tsukiji Fish Market has created a void in Central Tokyo - a tabula rasa. A casino and an artist residency are proposed as an unlikely pair on the site, envisioning a prospective economic system for a greater Tokyo by subverting the notion of the traditional casino model as being a site of vice to becoming the core profit-generating engine for the fashion industry in Japan.
The whole area becomes into an autonomously run and economically viable programme in Tokyo’s urban fabric, turning both the gears of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and forwardthinking fashion creatives for branding and international recognition. Seemingly opposing and contrasting intentions work together in symbiosis for a grander future.
The role of the casino is reimagined as a “church� - a social institution that gives back to the society. The first urban gesture is a trainline infrastructure that stretches from Haneda Airport to Tsukiji, to channel tourists and international artists on site.

NUS / Year 5 Thesis Project Individual Work Supervisor: Tsuto Sakamoto / akits@nus.edu.sg Site: Desa Gohong (Central Kalimantan, Indonesia)
The thesis begins with the issue of the haze due to the peatland fires in Central Kalimantan and the issue of breathing, where the invisible, formless, life – giving element, has been corrupted and threatens our wellbeing. At PSI levels of 2900, the air turns orange due to Rayleigh scattering. Site visit revealed that while city dwellers were privileged to have Oxygen Houses and Mobile Oxygen Vans for oxygen treatment, villagers were forced to innovate their own survival mechanisms through the creation of breathing aids made out of plastic bottles, aquarium pumps and a face mask. The thesis proposes that this attitude of “adhoc” and “village engineering” is a much more adaptive and effective mechanism in dealing with the hyperobject haze, and closer to an understanding of ecology itself, as in the writings of Timothy Morton, as compared to anthropocentrically-scaled, heroic constructs of science, economics and politics that merely distance the issue at hand.
20
As per the animistic beliefs and culture of the indigenous peoples in Central Kalimantan, the architecture itself is molded through references in folk art and religious rituals. An Oxygen Shrine provides oxygen during the haze period through partnership with the algae, chlorella vulgaris, used in bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) in space exploration. The Watchtower rewets peatlands in prevention of fire, drawing water from the existing deep well network. Indigenous rituals become re-adopted as a result of critical environmental conditions, for survival. As the structures morph mechanically, foregrounded against the orange-gradient, the distinction between man, animal and village engineering structures are blurred, as survival mechanisms are activated in response to the fire and heat that is at hand, resulting in an aesthetic of resilience.

I: The Oxygen Shrine The Oxygen Shrine addreses the lack of breatheable air during the worsening haze in Kalimantan. Its elevation changes to suit the cyclical nature of the seasons. During the non-haze period, it serves as a events hall for village activity. During the haze period, however, its demure figure transforms into rather angry and animalistic silhouettes, as a result of the mechanical structures required to produce oxygen, construction methods and rituals under hazy conditions. Its form echoes indigenous motifs and beliefs, of the union between watersnake and hornbill, reflected in its elevation, and the Tree of Life reflected in its plan. The Oxygen Shrine is both a place of ritual and refuge for spiritual and physical survival, while the bird nest farm ensures the finances neccessary for its maintenance.

II: The Watchtower The Watchtower is a creature that behaves to prevent the drying of peatlands that cause worsened haze in Kalimantan. Its elevation changes to suit the cyclical nature of the seasons. During the nonhaze period, it lies in the distance, as an innocent look out tower. Its quantity and regular interval may be disturbing to outsiders as it is in excess.

Drawing water from the existing deep well network, it sprays water from its wing-like limbs to rewet peatlands prone to fire.

Rituals as Survival
Survival becomes akin to ritual, that is both a laborious and religious affair. This includes asking for spirits permission, procession of bottles, maintenance involving the whole village, rituals to inoculate the algae and initiate rewetting of peatlands, harvesting of algae, rest and respite in breathing, and cyclical reconstruction. 26

Designing Resilience in Asia (DRIA) Competition 2017 / Finalist Group Work Supervisor: Hwang Yun Hye / akiyhh@nus.edu.sg Site: Semarang, Indonesia
The project aims to revitalise the socioeconomic situation of the low-income community in Bandarharjo neighbourhood, Semarang through reforming the fish smoking industry and implementing a self sustaining economy collective. The identity of the fish smoking industry is an opportunity for economic vibrancy - done through streamlining the production process through specific routes in the village using a localised transport system “gerobak�, and providing the facilities needed to reap economies of scale and a circular economy. With the streamlined production process, tourists who visit the site will also be able to observe the systems and processes involved to make the smoked fish product, drawing interest, attracting sales, and possibly more visitors. New fish-smoking industry typologies are proposed to push for cleaner product
28
extraction and more health-conscious methods to reap profits through a phased transformation. Moreover, the by-products reaped from the proposed method can be sold for extra income. Silvofishery farms used to provide fish supply for the industry are also planted with mangroves to reduce tidal flooding. The proposed scheme allows the village to sustain itself through a more efficient extraction of products, and draw enough income to make neccessary amendments to their homes threatened by flood and land subsidence.

International Tropical Architecture Design (ITAD) Competition 2017 / Special Mention Award Group Work Site: Bidara Cina, Kampung Melayu, Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta is a city known for its numerous issues of flooding, land subsidence and rising sea levels. Informal residents living near the riverbank continue to live their lives threatened with flash floods that come without warning - frontline victims. Bidara Cina is neighbourhood yet to be evicted due to their perserverance to protect their community and resilience against flood through greening of spaces. It is to be a potential pilot project to prove that on - site resettlement is possible, alongside the building of resilience through landscaping and a network of urban facilities. At the urban scale, the proposal attempts to tap into the underutilised Kali Mati (dead river) for the resettlement of flood victims neearby the site, while having the new development reconnect the two districts through the growth of commercial spots. The river’s edge previously occupied by the informal settlement is now available for greening and rehabilitation. Amenities and infrastructure
32
is created to improve living quality and road access for future development. The network of water squares and water pockets within the social housing (rusun) and around the district allow for flood retention as well as a flood alert system, which notifies residents of the neccessity to evacuate. During the non-flood season, these physical gaps double up as social spaces meant to strengthen community ties and sense of belonging through bonding. At the architectural scale, the social housing units were designed to maximise the amount of space through a mezzanine floor. The gap between units are utilised as private spillover space for each family and allow flexible spatial arrangement. Greening potential, ventilation and employment opportunities are considered in choosing materials and construction method. This resilient development plan is estimated to be completed in a span of five years.

The unit is designed to maximise the amount of space without compromising its comfort. Mezzanine floor is added to allow the living space to expand inwards. Meanwhile, the gap in between units can be utilised as a private spillover space for each family while allowing daylight to enter the unit.

Urban Flood System WATER POCKET
As 80% of the floodwater should be contained in the river, the river is normalised and is able to be made deeper once the riverbank dwellers have been moved to the newly built mid-rise social housing (rusun). 17% of the floodwater will be contained within the retention basin on kalimati next to the newly built blocks. The final 3% will be allocated to the water pockets distributed on empty underutilised or abandoned plots on site, and as plot sizes differ, water pocket sizes also differ accordingly - small, medium and large - with different programs injected into them such that their functions change according to the water level. The steps on the water pocket also act as indicators of floodwater level and whether it is neccessary fro them to quickly evacuate.

Fortunately, the water retention function of Kali Mati is beneficial during flood. A series of interlinking watersquares, ending in a large retention basin is constructed below the blocks of the midrise social housing (rusun) as part of a larger scheme to temporarily hold floodwater as neccessary.
Waterpockets serve as multifunctional spaces according to the water level, with a series of steps behaving as alert systems which tell residents the need for evacuation. Rain

Restoring the Floodplain Line
Widening Roads and Commercial Space
Population Growth
With riverbank dwellers having moved to the rusun, the old floodplain line can be restored, by creating a boardwalk on top in order to “touch the earth lightly� and allow wetlands to be properly developed. This allows absorption rate of water into the ground to be higher, thus, reducing flood and increasing public space.
Developing amenities and adding programs to site for current usage and future development when population growth occurs. An improved road network will help bridge nearby districts together, and bringing people in from outside the Bidara Cina district to utilise the commercial spaces on site.
Considering the existing growth rate, blocks are build along the newly expanded road network. It will be developed according to the needs of the site and orientated to the direction which maximises daylight and wind flow and reduces glare.

Because Architecture Matters (BAM) Competition 2019 / Third Prize Winner Group Work Site: Paris, France
A balance scale is constantly tipping over to find an equilibrium, a middle ground. The notarial profession is one that wrestles between the conflicting perspectives of the state and the people, despite having a common agenda for order. Freedom of speech is valuable but persistent social unrest may escalate into violent protests, as seen in the recent Yellow Vests Movement. The project proposes finding a middle ground between public order and individual freedom in a symbolically significant site by converging two phenomena that resonate with Parisians. The eNotarization phenomena has resulted in minimised spatial requirements, and relies on an expansive digital network. In support of this technological shift, a skills-enhancement center and a resource library is shared as public resources. As a homage to the most iconic Parisian architectural landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the upcoming Triangle Tower, our proposal takes the form
36
of an inverted pyramid, referencing, yet subverting the Parisian values that they stand for. The gestural inversion returns the ground floor to the people and contributes to their socio-collective identity. The values that form the bedrock of Parisian society - liberté, égalité, fraternité will hopefully be returned to its most esteemed state through A Great Balancing Act.
Notaries as a Middleground in Paris

Houseboats are a common part of the Dutch landscape, such as this one located near Amsterdam. A houseboat is a floating structure that has been designed or modified to primarily function as a home. This houseboat was designed by Hans Kodde & DĂŠsirĂŠe Stramrood from Kodde architects in 2010, as a private holiday house for two adults and four children. This was an in-depth study and analysis of an existing built work of architecture, to be accompanied by appropriate architectural drawings, urban studies, material testing and extensive model-making. Two models were built, one being a fragment model to study the way the different building elements were joined together and as a test for the final model. Both models were done at Scale 1:50.

This piece of furniture was inspired by the Dining Chair Wood (DCW) by Charles and Ray Eames. The gentle curvature and the materiality of bent plywood were the key elements used as inspiration for this translation. Prototypes from Balsa wood were used to explore form given that it was a much easier material to work with in terms of producing multiple iterations in short time. Plywood was used for the final model, for its sturdy yet flexible properties. This multifunctional furniture piece is meant for the whole family - a table for a father to place his coffee, a lounge chair for a mother’s quiet afternoons, and a rocking baby cot. As Hans J. Wagner said, “A chair is to have no back side. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles.”

Observational drawings were done during a site visit to Penang and a colonial building in Singapore. George Town, Penang George Town is the small multicultural capital of the Malaysian island of Penang. It was known for its British colonial buildings, Chinese shophouses and mosqures. Beyond the town, George Town is a modern city with skyscrapers and malls.
amidst the Arts and Entertainment District of Singapore. It had originally comprised of two conserved buildings - a villa and a shophouse, flanking an infill unit. Through adaptive reuse, the building hopes to contrast the old and the new, through its modern furnishing and old charm.
