project 1 infrastructure for paradise, landcape planning for bunaken marine national park It is the landscape planning and research project based on documentation Bunaken Marine National Park on both terrestrial and marine side. The key strategies and zoning map focus on improving the quality and identity of the tourism and protecting the intertidal zone which has the high ecological value and is also very sensitive and fragile.
project 2 living on the slopes, holistic approach for social housing The project is facing the challenge of developing socialized housing units on a vegetated land with hilly topography and isolated location. The project aims to ensure environmental, economic and social stability by avoiding the danger of landslides and diversify the sources of livelihood to ensure self-sufficiency.
project 3 heartsrings, redefing streetscape of singapore How should the street look like? This street scale project shows that streets have more potential than just being the monotonous, cookie-cutter transport corridor. The multifunctional, identical and ecological enhanced streetscape showed in this project can work as a new prototype for streetscape in Singapore
project 4 Walking on stars, nightscape 2050 travelling exihibition This project is creating the nightscape for the future. The concept is inspired by the mysterious nature of the shadow. We try to create a new style of landscape like shadow - subtle, vibrant, mysterious, creating atmospheric spaces, and the root that keeps all things grounded, shadows are right at our feet.

The Bunaken National Park is a marine park in the north of Sulawesi island, Indonesia. The park is located near the centre of the Coral Triangle, providing habitat to 390 species of coral as well as many fish, mollusc, reptile and marine mammal species. The Park is representative of Indonesian tropical water ecosystems, consisting of seagrass plain, coral reef, and coastal ecosystems. The project tries to find the balance between protection the nature resource and development of tourism. The key strategies of the project is seperating the transportation system from the intertidal zone and carefully arrange the diving point to avoid the influence of increasing tourist flow.

Situated at the edge of the mountain in the far corner of Towerville community, the 2.5 ha vegetated land on a hilly topography is projected for development of socialized housing units for urban poor. The challenging terrain, danger of landslides, isolated location and lack of adequate sources of livelihood are the potential problems the inhabitants might face. The project aims to ensure environmental, economic and social stability for the community.

heartstrings, redefing streetscape MLA YEAR1 PROJECT 2014,8 - 2014.11 TUTORďźšHwang Yunhye COLLABORATOR: Tan Li Wen
Beyond the well-developed planting scheme for beauty and shade, our streetscape leaves much to be desired. The typical, cookie-cutter typology of roads makes them indistinguishable, and there is little consideration of site context. Singapore’s omnipresent road network is 3425km long, more than 17 times the current PCN. Our streets have more potential than just being transport corridors. The new PCN are strings that connect people and nature with the identity of the stree . This project works as a prototype for the entire streetscape to one day be the new PCN; ecologically and hydrologically sustainable, culturally rich, distinctive and multifunctional.
THE EXISTINg PCN Singapore’s Park Connectors are indistinct and cookie-cutter as they all share the same mould.
PATCHES CONNECTED BY PCN
THE EXISTINg STREETSCAPE Singapore’s streets share this problem, they too are indistinct and cookie-cutter as they all share the same mould.
COMPARINg PCN AND STREETSCAPE
SITE LOCATION The chosen streets lie within Ang Mo Kio (AMK), a low-lying, mature HDB district prone to flooding during the monsoon season. Close by lie Bishan Park and AMK Town garden West.

PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE Past Kampongs had a primarily productive landscape. Since Street 22 is a neighbourhood street containing mainly residences, the productive plantings closest to the dwellingsthe personal fruit trees, are kept.
Brush- Public space
UN-PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE Much of the kampong public space between amenities (e.g. shops) were unpaved lanes and unkempt brush, which is young adinandra belukar forest pre-woody plant encroachment.
THE NEIgHBOURHOOD OF BIRD LOVERS
The residents of Ang Mo Kio love birds; there is a Birds Singing Area in AMK Town Garden West, and the first Bird Rehabilitation Aviary in a town park was built there as well. Bird loving is a social and cultural aspect of Ang Mo Kio, with emphasis on native bird species.
BIRD OF BOTH PATCHES
The Chosen BIRDs Common Characteristics 1) Size- Relatively small 2) Feeding Habits- Easily available fruit & insects 3) Nesting Habits- Trees, bushes 4) Character- Can abide human-disturbed land 5) Origin- Native to Singapore/ SE Asia region

Strategic street corners were used for bio-retention and the large arterial street linking the parks is ecologically enhanced through establishment of a wildlife corridor for native birds. It is a mix of riverine and secondary forest plants in a secondary forest structure.

Walking on stars Nightscape 2050 Travelling Exihibition in Singapore 2015.10 Lighting Planners Associates Collaborator: Kan Yuen Mun, Pearlyn Chang, Sun Yunzi, Tao Yibei,
The project was inspired by the mysterious nature of the shadow. How can the nightscapes of our future be like shadow - subtle, vibrant, mysterious, creating atmospheric spaces, and the root that keeps all things grounded, shadows are right at our feet. Mundane street lights become obsolete in a future which we foresee a completely dynamic nightscape – no street will ever look the same with time. People control the light they create, use and contribute to the nightscape. Light becomes personalized, customized and unique to every individual; each bringing a different source of light to create a mosaic of patterns on the streets in Singapore.
Lights that can be calibrated with technology to lead you to your destination, or just accompanies you like your shadow in the day. An inversion of light and dark, shadows reveals a new identity for people, connecting people to the city and to each other through sharing, changing and playing, bringing people out of their homes even at night.
