GROUNDWARD VILLAGE Architecture Core Studio 3 Individual Project Term 6 | 12.5 weeks | 2016 Urban Living Redhill, Singapore Mentor : Pauline Ang Su Ping Inspired by the condition around the site, this project emphasizes level difference in creating space of privacy, integrating level decrease instead of only level increase. This basement-like space allows unique interaction between public space on the ground floor and private space below, and application of a natural bamboo facade retains the privacy level required for certain spaces.

basement-single storey unit

Open basement with a unit-a block concept, giving more space between neighbours, maximizing open space around each of unit where interaction between neighbours is most likely happening. Upper floors are in the same unit concept, connected by series of minimal corridors, reducing blockage to the openness of the basement and also overall space within the complex. Two different types of unit characterize their location where rectangular units relate to the edges on basement and the outwards on upper floors, while square units are around the public circulation on basement but hidden inside on upper floors. Further variations of unit type such as duplexes are occuring within these two modular sizes base.

As wind is the main drive of the project, the design started with sketch of long blocks in the wind direction. These long blocks is the expression of individuality that has resulted in an unique quality of narrow spaces in the blocks and in between blocks. To give more space as it goes taller, the last sketch shows the idea of a square form combined with long block form.

Using lofting methodology, this form is the developed and experimented in different arrangements, which resulted in a final arrangement that reflects the wave of the sea which is controlled but unpredictable, based on the requirements of heights and privacy level.

Relating back to the sea, as the site context suggests the architecture to be the boundary between the land and the sea, it was explored how to create this transition space by bringing in the water into the land area, and creating in-land stream among the building.

Land landscape where poeple enters the building on the ground floor from the roads on the north side, and ciculate towards the path perpendicular as the point where water reaches in and landscape transformed into a sea-sandylandscape. At the same time, people will climb up on the building to the higher level through the stairs on the slope in the north side, and if they continue walking along the slope up- and the down, they will reach the other end of the building that touches this sea-landscape.

Each of the building is then developed into a stairs and balcony as the treatment of the sloping facades, where it gave the idea of climbing the stairs from the land side to discover and enjoy the scenary of the sea at the balconies on the other side. Each of the block is carved to create a perpendicular pathway on groundfloor.

DIAGONAL HOUSE Architecture Core Studio 3 Individual Project Term 6 | 1.5 weeks | 2016 Urbang Living ‘Unit’ Bras Basah Complex, Singapore Mentor : Pauline Ang Su Ping

2 residential units are twisted in an L-shaped space to house two families that wish to be connected but yet still maintaining their own privacy, possibly be a solution to local issue on providing housing for elderly regarding the danger it may impose by having an enclosed single unit without any guardian. Breaking off from a typical residential unit by rotating the orientation of internal space grid, resulting in leftover pockets of connected outdoor spaces around the house. On the original axis, residents can find visual connection all along the unit stretch through series of glazing devices.


Rotation of grid layout on the given unit floorplan of the unit by 45o, with rectangular rooms arranged for private programs, has resulted pockets of spaces that are utilized as public spaces, indoor and outdoor.

T(h)ree Tampines Architecture Core Studio 1 Individual Project Term 4 | 5 weeks | 2015 Tampines : Spaces for Culture and Leisure Tampines, Singapore Mentor : Calvin Chua You Jin

Creating new destination at the heart of largest residential area in Singapore, drop off & pick up point where people will come from and go back to in their journey in Tampines, both for private vehichle and public tranportation users. A place supporting leisure and cultural related society activities by miming the ancient natural usage of a tree as shelter for human activities. As a method to maintain as much of green space on the site, programs are placed above six metres from ground level, stacked to each other, connected by lift and spiral staircase core acting as vertical support at the same time, inspired by the principle of a tree having their trunks as circulation path and crowns as the place where other important activities are happening.

INTERSECTIONS Architecture Core Studio 2 Individual Project Term 5 | 4 weeks | 2016 Event Spaces Orchard Road, Singapore Mentor : Yvonne Tan Su Zen

Orchard Road being the most alive city centre in Singapore with a lot of walking pedestrians on the side of narrow roads in between of two high rise buildings has created an activity-focus more than building look focus when one walks along this road. Therefore, this design intention is to crete a building that invites people to look at it, and at the same time control what they need to look on from a specific location along Orchard road.

After exploration of the effect of location of supports on the beam, we classify them into libraries with similar results. Our project seeks to explore a new fabrication method of controlling carbon fiber with magnets. Therefore, our way of classification is according to the number of set of magnets. All stress line with similar gradient will be considered the same and requires one set of magnets. One set of magnets will require two magnets, two set will require three, three set will require four.

For efficient fabrication, results from the least set of lines is selected so that less magnets are used during fabrication.


PROTOTYPE 01 - CANTILEVER BEAM

PROTOTYPE 02 - SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM

Each beam is divided into five layers, where each layer has different support conditions. The selection of layers are bounded by a rule that keeps it under cantilevering category, which is one/ more supports that is(are) located on one side of the beam. The different support locations are based on the gradual shift of support throughout the layers.

SImilar to previous protoype, each beam is divided into five layers, where each layer has different support conditions. The selection of layers are bounded by a rule that keeps it under simply supported category, which is two/more supports that are located on both sides of the beam. The different support locations are based on the gradual shift of support throughout the layers.

Referring to the library that has been established, this first prototype which has been chosen to be cantilevering was constructed out of layers selected, with the aim to have the simpler fabrication method by choosing as many from smaller number of sets of magnet as mentioned previously.

Inspired by this sine curve characterised by

y = A sin ( B(x - c) ) + D , where A, B > 0.

where: |A| = amplitude of function, B = cycles from 0 to 2 π C = phase / horizontal shift D = vertical shift. , this structure is a result of redefining to get the desired out of phase curve with this final equation:

z = 0.8 cos( 4x - 10 ) * sin ( 0.4 y +10 )

t=0 min

t=1 min

Strips are arranged to form a roof structure where tha placement of every strips are disaligned by half a phase such that openings are created to filter the daylight that enters the space below the roof. This structure then is analysed with a particle spring system code in C++ through Graasshopper plug in for Rhino where all nodes on z=-0.8m which is the lowest point of the structure are fixed. The stucture below is the result of the simulation after the code running for one minute when the movement of nodes had been stabilised that indicates a more stable structure has been achieved.

The site is located in between MRT station and private residential towers. Area nearer to the towers is radiated slightly lower compared to the area near MRT Station due to the shading provided by taller buildings. As part of the largest area of open space around the site, majority part of the site is considered points where solar radiation is the highest.

December Primary wind direction on the site is towards the North East April through September, and South West October through March. The top drawing shows the North East wind on July when most of wind is blocked by the MRT Station located to the south of the site. Simulation on a general basic rectangular unit with smaller surface area facing eastwest is showing that both ends of unit will be having too much glare.

The drawing below shows the South West wind on December when the flow of wind is very desirable for human comfort as the result of wind tunnel effect created in between residential blocks toward the North of the site.

There is not much shading provided by the surrounding buildings on the site as there are not much blocking on the East-West which is the primary direction of sunpath in Singapore. Only on a short period around June where the residential block on the west is shading part of the site.


URBAN MASSING Based on the existing site conditions, it is intended for the massing of the building to take into account the prevailing wind direction, to provide as much natural ventilation for its units.

massing of multiple courtyard blocks

UNIT

Offset adjacent units by 1.5 m in a direction that follows the grid given by previous massing. This allows for placement of additional windows to allow more light into the unit

The units are oriented along the East-West axos as much as possible to minimise direct sunlight penetration, ensuring maximum visual comfort within the unit and minimum solar gain.

Adjustment of heights of the different blocks. Wind velocity is highest towards the center of the site, hence the center block is of the lowest height, so as to allow better ventilation for the higher units of the blocks.

in order to get maximum exposure to the main wind path, a zigzag geometry was drawn that continuously intersects the main wind path

splitting the geometry to form separate blocks on each side

creation of multiple blocks of similar geometry to create multiple courtyards

balancing solid and void

Alternating position of units so as to provide opportunities for balconies, and shading for them

each side connects to its adjacent blocks

simplification of geometry to allow for smoother wind flow

Arrangement of programs inside the unit is based on the reference from daylighting simulation, where bedrooms that require most comfort are located in a less glaring location, and designing a garden instead on the spot where glare is most likely be in the unit. The location where it is predicted to not receive daylight are reserved for storage and toilets. Addition of louvers in the balcony is also a method to reduce the glare received by the unit. Continous sharing space such as living room, dining room, and kitchen is an attemp to encourage energy sharing thus reduce the use of energy in the house overall.

HOME FOR HOMELESS ASA Competition | Group Project 2017 Bangkok, Thailand Group Members : Caroline Cheryl Lim Jia Li Gabrilla Samsir

miw-mfq-IC-01

HOME FOR HOMELESS THE SITE Located off Charoen Krung Road in Bangkok’s Sathorn District, Sathorn Unique Towers was designed to be a 49 storey luxury condominium with a fabulous view of Bangkok. The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis halted construction and the building was left untouched and uncared for since. Over the years, it has become popular with the homeless and strays. The building is surrounded by local low-rise residential and is accessible via small alleys from the major roads. Our project aims to repurpose the building as a home for the homeless and revitalize the area through integration of the homeless and the local community.

Home. What is home? Is it the place you were born in? Or the place where you sleep? But for the millions of homeless who are stranded on the street, by choice or by the life, what is home? Our project aims to imagine and redefine the idea of home for people without a home. Home is familiarity. Sathorn Unique is no stranger to the homeless. With our project, we hope to infuse new meanings to the place and make living more comfortable, safe and enjoyable. The idea of home extends beyond the boundary of physical walls and that includes the community. Our design returns the ground level to the local community and is made accessible to all. With local flea markets, shops and cafes, we inject the rich Thailand street life culture into this hitherto quiet neighbourhood.

Home is comfortable. Our design incorporates elements to give everyone their own space. The curtain bind system is designed to give users privacy and flexibility. The binds can be attached anywhere according to the users’ preference, creating their own space of choice. The communal space at every floor allows for interaction and helps the homeless find family.

TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL FLOOR PLAN

Home is possibilities. Learning and self-dependency are key elements of our design. Therefore, the ground level space is dedicated as a learning centre for all ages. Both the homeless and the community are welcome in these centres to learn and upgrade their skills to contribute back to society. Ultimately, home is not merely the place you sleep. It is the place you become. Hook to the ceiling
