BEE Together
Singapore has made a step to go even more green over the years with new residential buildings, park connectors are set as an example. However, a certain stigma can be seen towards Singapore on treating and appreciating the nature such Bees. They aren’t treated the way they should despite knowing Bees are are important role towards agriculture and aslo we as humans consume what they provide us daily. As pollinators, bees plays a part every aspect of ecosystem. They support the growth of trees, flowers and other plants, which serve as food and shelter for creatures large and small. Bees contribute to complex, interconnected ecosystems that allow a diverse number of different species to co-exist. There is no doubting the importance of bees to our food supply. Without them, our gardens would be bare and our plates empty. On the other hand, Agriculture has been a strong thing towards the yemenis and hence, the Singapore Yemeni community share beekeeping wisdom from their forefathers to contribute ecosystem of punggol.
The House of Symphony
Derived from the “Fly Agaric” mushroom, the house of symphony is located in Clark Quay where the day and night that never dies. It can be seen as if it blooms and grows together hovewer uneven. It’s what within the soul that gives an aural architecture which differs from other buildings around Singapore as the increasing urbanization, acoustic design in buildings becomes essential because of proximity to everything. Sound is emphasised on the visial aspect of the building. The brass structure connected from building act as a flute, the wooden stairs acts as a zylophone, and the habits and activities of the inhabitants makes the music within the architecture. The marvel beauty of such structures and are often mesmerised by the facades as it add value to our architecture masterpiece.
I’ve seen an umbrella structure as an inspiration and tried to use ice cream sticks and try to emulate it’s look on 2D. Along the way, i’ve seen more of an interesting structure which co-relates my inspiration of the fly aragic mushroom of it’s growth which is called the “Deployable structure.”
