MAJOR PROJECT | BYEGONES OF A NATION

FINAL YEAR THESIS

This project aims to to celebrates the local consequences within Singapore’s built environment. It investigates ideas of preservation and identity and placemaking. The provocation of a true vernacular that looks at the immediate condition of place. The conditions of the that contains the memories of the everyday, conventional and mundane. The vernacular relishes itself as past and present iterations of itself, staking significant junctions in the perpetual urban development of the city through the megastructure

This proposition is creating a centre of localities. Creating a new “complex” of distinct local commercial conditions and phenomena. These acts of intervention each seek reintegration of citizens and newer immigrants in becoming the true city room an ensemble of working class commercial urbanity. It hopes that this cross pollination of culture drives the displacement of migrant program into the vernacular spaces resulting in a transmutation of cultural activities.

STRATEGIC APPROACH | SUPERIMPOSITION

SPATIAL PROPAGATION

The juxtaposition of various vernacular typologies form various spatial combinations. Each intersection gives birth to spatial misalignments and mutations, forming new hierarchies and ensure the persistence of artefacts.

SPATIAL HYBRIDIZATION

The Hawker center, The Market, The shop house, The Void deck, The bazaar and the HDB Block. These objects represent the true vernacular of Singapore. These objects come together in compliance with the grid negotiating the existing immigrant enclave of the people park complex. Each being key interventions of their own revealing moments of intersections, disconnect and connect, revelation and concealment.

CONSERVED WITHIN

What remains within the void of the original residential block is the inverted memory of the people park complex and its sky corridors along with the concrete columns that now support the new residential block

STUDIO | POLITICAL LANDSCAPE 02

The studio interrogates the interaction between politics, media and the city. A series of architecture exploration and how it fits within the broader media landscape as a form of representation and debate ensues. The extent of influence opinion, power and representation has on architecture is deliberated and reflected upon. The end product manifesting itself as an urban forum in Melbourne’s parliament precinct

SECTIONAL PLAN

This project investigates the relationship between the predominant regional party in the Nationals, The Australian news broadcasting corporation and the youth is investigated. The accumulation of a project that outwardly expresses the political agendas of the Nationals and through the disruption of a intermediary news outlet resolve itself into programs for the youth to forge the future. The dualities with the existing site are apparent, in which external presence of religion, conservation and entertainment are reflected within the project.

INTERROGATION/ INTERVENTION

The interrogation of the regional presence in the city precinct by the National Broadcasting Network. The three different programs are re-appropriated by the youth through the activation of a public forum

STICHING UP KAMPONG GLAM 03

SUPERVISED BY TESSALIN NG| 2013

DIPLOMA YEAR 2

The studio interrogates the urban retrofitting of a disregarded site within centre of the ethnic enclave of Kampong Glam. The arrival of the foreign residential building disrupts the surrounding cultural fabric and addresses the inevitable translation of place as construction methods evolve over time.

IMMERSIVE GAME | BOHEMIAN RHAPSHANTY

UNREAL ENGINE

The development of a game with a didactic ambition to allow the public to engage and learn from their gaming experience. Also,the mechanism of game engines was to generate an immersive and speculative testing ground for ideas.

Bohemian Rhapshanty aims to promote a culture of tolerance and suboptimal lifestyle that defers to Environment and negotiates around the natural cycles of the existing ecosystems It proposes that the collective actions of the inhabitants on site can be amplified through altruistic landscapes that amplify the collective actions of the inhabitants on site. An architecture that takes on an attitude of generosity and ephemerality towards land. In an attempt to break free from the one sided-transactions in the polemic of our human-centric cities. staking significant junctions in the perpetual urban development of the city through the mega structure.
