Hey, I am Zi Ying!
In April 2018, I started my architecture study in Singapore Polytechnic. Joining Diploma in Architecture after O-Level with a minimum background knowledge has not been a smooth journey for me, but it has been more worth than I will ever be able to say. I would say one of the key spirit in architecture studies is
PERSEVERANCE.
Looking at architecture wherever I am, I am always inspired by the forms and functionalities. It changed my perspective towards architecture. It is not just a form, every architecture tells a story and shows the culture and identity of a place.
This inspires me to continue pursuing architecture in the National University of Singapore (NUS) now. as the revolution of architecture can be seen due to the urbanisation and I hope that I could play a part in designing more “Firmitas, Utilitas, Venustas” architecture.
This portfolio gathers the works that I have done throughout my diploma and bachelor studies in architecture.
I have learnt a lot from sketching on butter papers and doing hand-cut models to modelling using 3D softwares and laser cutting to build up models.
I personally enjoy doing technical drawings and building up physical models the most.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
This project reflects on infrastructure’s capacity to both create and segregate communities, and to utilize infrastructure to design a building that aims to improve the social connectivity of a particular neighborhood in Singapore, resulting in a better mix between engineering and architecture, natural resources and built environment, local conditions and global developments.

SITE ISSUE
Jaywalking is a phenomenon despite penalties imposed by the government.This issue is prevalent along the Tanjong Pagar Road due to the lack of zebra crossings and certain road conditions that support this action.Additionally, this road, which runs through the heart of Tanjong Pagar, is exceptionally congested with cars and pedestrians. Hence, this intervention aims to assist pedestrians in crossing the road safely without disrupting the traffic flow.

CIRCULATION SYSTEM TRAFFIC FLOW VEHICULAR COUNT 10
HIGH TRAFFIC FLOW - SPECIFIC JAYWALKING SPOTS
A further analysis was done to inspect the reasons for this high traffic flow happening along the Tanjong Pagar Road. In this diagram, it is shown that jaywalking was spotted specifically at these 3 points due to the lack of zebra crossings and certain road conditions that support this action. To further elaborate, pedestrians would just conveniently cross the road from the bus stop to the opposite entrance as no obstructions like road division and planting strip are present. Additionally, rich activities such as eating, shopping, community gathering, and residing also make Tanjong Pagar Plaza and 100am the hot spots, contributing to high pedestrian traffic.

DESIGN ITERATIONS
Explored the ways to assist pedestrians in crossing the road safely without disrupting the traffic flow.
ITERATION 1- OVERGEAD BRIDGE ITERATION 2- ONE-WAY FLYOVER
Vehicular flow remains at street level while pedestrians travel above it.
Two routes on different levels to allow pedestrian crossing on each side.
ITERATION 4- UNDERGROUND TUNNEL
Underground tunnel is introduced for the vehicular flow to prioritize pedestrian crossing above.

FINAL DESIGN CONCEPT
The primary route is extracted based on the shortest possible distance between the nodal points of Tanjong Pagar Plaza and 100am. By replacing the pattern of jaywalking with the actual pathways, this intervention allows pedestrians to access one point to another in the fastest and most direct way.Additionally, this project intends to reimagine the users’ walking experiences by creating another layer of pathways for the intended users to accommodate their needs and demands on site.
FINAL DESIGN STRATEGIES
While the entry path is created to facilitate fast speed walking for the working people who are always rushing to cross the road, a tranquil path which is short and consisting multiple transitional stops is provided for the elderly since there is a high number of elderly residing in the residential blocks there. Furthermore, a fun and thrilling path is designed to trigger the curiosity of children, which is linked to the childcare centre on the Tanjong Pagar terrace. Last but not least, an explorable path brings shop-goers around and promotes social interaction with the public, thus contributing to a vibrant atmosphere on site.

METHODS OF DRYING ORANGES
21
A series of curved arms are integrated to form a staggered layout of trays. This is to ensure that every single tray is exposed to sun directly, which allows a more consistent drying rate. Circular trays are used to maximise the number of oranges which can be placed on the trays. Additionally, they are slidable along the arms to face the sun at different angles. Reflectors around the trays allow light and heat to bounce off within the trays to heat up the trays faster. With the aid of the porous trays, interior space would be well shaded and ventilated to allow a comfortable working space for the fruiterer. As the apprentice developed has different uses at different points of the process of making, drying process is sped up while interior space is kept cool.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
This project investigates how the architectural form can derive from the combination of basic geometric elements. It deals with the aggregation of dwelling spaces in relation to the organisation of circulation systems and structure in order to create a site-specific, coherent whole—that is, a composition that truly relates to the assets and shortcomings of its surroundings.

FINAL UNIT DESIGN
The central balcony is used as a focal point to distribute out the spaces and the internal partitions are following the hexagonal shapes to continue the hexagonal language.
As hexagon has multiple vertices, different levels could be created and interconnected to make full use of all the facades of the hexagons. Different volume heights could also be created to provide different living experiences. In addition, the internal balcony can also be cross ventilated, well lit and easily accessed from different spaces.

FINAL AGGREGATION PROCESS
According to the research of hexagons, one of the benefits of hexagon is that they can be packed closely to each other and minimize the gap, thus no vital space is wasted.
The aggregation is started by packing a few modules together to form a small honeycomb.
Some of the modules are shifted in and out to create spaces at the roof of the modules as well.
As the central balcony is the main feature of the unit, the priority while aggregating the modules is to prevent the balcony from being blocked by anything.
Thus, a single sided form is derived where the aggregation is expanded by branching out the cluster of modules in another direction.
Then, the clusters are stacking on top of each other so that the common faces between modules can be shared.

Analysis
DESIGN ISSUE
Design
70% of palm oil consumption in the beauty products has caused environmental issue such as haze due to the deforestation to create lands for palm trees.As the world is slowly coming to realise the need for sustainable beauty products, there is an urgency to have institutions to train specialists in developing alternative products. In addition, there are also a few beauty academies in Selegie.
DESIGN CONCEPT
Sustainable Community
My design concept is to create a sustainable community to allow students from different disciplines to sustain each other in an open, porous and transparent environment, inspired by NUS School of Design and Environment 4 by Serie Architects. It aims to train and inspire students to comprehend sustainable beauty by going through a process of providing sustainable beauty products, testing, giving feedbacks and improving for better ones.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
It is designed like a social heart where products production and testing will be conducted at the centre of the building.The social heart provides different forms of information exchange points where students from different disciplines are able to cross learn other modules of different schools to better assist each other in developing sustainable products. Containment is broken and organic forms are designed to celebrate the social heart while appreciating the rectilinear form of the building.Terraced organic gardens are also created for learning and producing ingredients used in organic beauty products.With terracing, the massing can be broken down into small volumes to make the building looks more open and lighter.

EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS TESTING SPACE (ON 2ND STOREY)
An appropriate capacity of students allows effective products testing where the students from the two schools can come together and test out the products which are still in the experimental stage. Then, constructive feedbacks would be given for improvements and the students will be able to launch their brand-new organic beauty products. Hence, this space allows the whole process of products making to be happened from the experimental stage to the ending stage.

DESIGN ISSUE
Future Housing Design
Singapore has been taking in more foreigners as it helps to add value into the local work force. However, some conflicts and misunderstandings between foreigners and Singaporeans were occurred due to the different cultural practices. Hence, integration of different cultures becomes a challenging issue as foreigners and Singaporeans have to learn to accept each other’s cultures and norms.
DESIGN CONCEPT
Closely knitted scale of communal spaces
The design proposal adopts an idea of creating closely knitted scale of communal spaces throughout the building vertically. It intends to create a multicultural neighbourhood by integrating the different cultures.As a result, millennials would appreciate and respect each other’s culture.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
Staggered communal spaces are created at alternate levels to allow residents to engage in the shared activities and to promote common experiences through sharing of common interests and understanding of culture diversity. Residents can learn more about cultures such as traditional cuisines, languages and many more, thus widening their horizons.

PARAMETRIC IDEATION COMPETITION
THE ARCHIPELAGOS
PROJECT BACKGROUND
It involves a group of 3 students. This competition aims to challenge the pre-existing perceptions of designers by calling them to explore on innovative concepts and sustainable technologies.The focus of the competition is to adopt a kaleidoscopic parameter based approach to conceptualise and design a sharing community for a better future.

DESIGN ISSUE
Global warming has caused rising sea level on the Earth.The residential housings in Singapore are in the high-rise settings and human density is growing vertically due to the scarce amount of land in Singapore as well.
DESIGN CONCEPT
Amazonian water lily
Biomimetic design is adopted. Its wide span and surprising buoyancy contricutes to its ecological purpose: a floating community.They span up to 3m. These features enable it to serve as a bridge for interactions between aquatic and land-based animal species.The water lilies also have ribbed porous veins on its underside that stem from the core to create modules.Air is trapped inthe veins and in bubbles in the modules, making the lily buoyant.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
It consists of multiple platforms with different functions that could be linked together to form a community. Expansion would be horizontal.Instead of packing epople in dense, high rise settings, the design seeks to spread them outwards and allow them to live among nature. Under master planning, the platforms will be fully residential (5-sided lily pads), half residential-half communal (6-sided lily pads) and fully communal (4-sided lily pads). In overall, our idea aims to design a modular unit with an open plan for flexible adjustments of spaces in the dwelling.

DESIGN CONCEPT
Evanesce
Layers is an art installation that highlights the issue of disappearance of the traditional Malay Vernacular architecture in Kampong Glam due to the modernisation of architectures over the years.
This installation creates the gradually fading images of a Traditional Malay House, signifying the gradual dissipation of the Malay house.As users walk to observe this, the disappearance of the traditional Malay house hopes to invoke thoughts on how modernisation will inevitably dilute the unique elements of traditional local architecture.
