3rd Year Architecture Student, National University of Singapore (NUS)
Each new academic year of architecture school becomes an opportunity to unravel a new layer of experiences and learning points, which I believe helps me shape my views and uncover newfound interests in this multifaceted field. At one point in time, I had come to realise that architecture was not merely a composition of bricks or mortar, or drafting plans - it is also a dynamic exchange between different cultures, with each column and beam resonating with the echoes of history and tradition, tied to the context it stands in. This realization also kindled within me a newfound appreciation for the transformative potential of architecture, and how it could serve as a catalyst for positive societal change.
Regardless of the scale of the architectural projects or interventions, I aspire to contribute to the built environment through designs that would bring positive and lasting impacts to communities, one that would reflect the values of compassion and inclusivity.
This portfolio is a showcase of my selected academic works from 2021-2024. It represents an exploration of different design approaches I’ve taken, that perhaps reflect in the varied graphical representation styles.

HAWKER HIDEOUT
NUS Y3 (AY23/24 Semester Two)
Design 6 | Systems, Comprehensiveness, Integration
Studio Chaw Chih Wen
‘Hawker Hideout’ reimagines the concept of a hawker centre, beyond its ubiquitous nature of a large ‘communal kitchen’ where a large amount of emphasis is commonly placed on the idea of communal dining and social interactions. What if we were to design dining spaces catered to introverts / individuals / people who wish to dine away from the buzz and crowds of the typical hawker centre?
The seemingly basic functions of the elements of floors and courtyards are viewed as systems that work together to give rise to the hawker centre’s varying degrees of reclusivity and intimacy levels. Floors are viewed not just as structure or a means of circulation - What if floors were perceived as surfaces for cooking and dining, as ledges for storage? Or surfaces that obscure and act as a veil to give rise to ‘reclusive’ dining zones? What if courtyards were viewed not just as open spaces that inject light and facilitate ventilation, but as buffers that separate private seating zones? By redefining and challenging the conventional functions of these elements, a new architectural language emerges, defining the hawker’s resultant form.

A matrix/catalogue of the new emergent typologies of hawker stalls was derived from an analysis of existing stalls within a typical Hawker Centre. Stalls were categorised according to the type of food served, as well as special equipments needed for cooking - the stalls are translated into a series of surfaces staggered at different heights, to cater to the different cooking or storage needs as analysed.
In tandem to the differing levels of privacy and by taking into account the key vistas along all edges of the site, the hawker stalls are configured and organised in response to site conditions. The quieter and more private edges are lined with reclusive dining spaces, obscured using the surfaces of ‘less porous’ hawker stalls, mapped in the matrix.

As part of its food waste management efforts, Hawker Hideout also features a vodka distillery, which recycles and turns (selected) ugly fruits & vegetables obtained from hawker stalls into new & experimental vodka drinks. As the day transitions into the evening, the hawker centre transforms into a intimate place for drinks and entertainment, a place where visitors can unwind and seek solace in bars and booths with different intimacy levels.

EMBRACING THE ART OF REST
NUS Y3 (AY23/24 Semester One)
Design 5 | Density, Urbanism, Publicness
Studio Christo Meyer
Witin the cityscape, one can envision a realm where public spaces transcends their utilitarian nature - becoming sanctuaries of reprieve and revitalization. As such, the concept of ‘hostile architecture’ - urban furniture that often prescribes and dictates how individuals should rest - is challenged. While seeking to address societal issues like homelessness, this urban approach inadvertently engenders community segregation.
The project seeks to serve as a rebellion against this defensive architecture. It reclaims spaces for rest and champions user autonomy, asserting that individuals should have the freedom to choose how they rest, unburdened by the hostility of urban furniture. The project also stands as a critique against society’s relentless pursuit of productivity, where ‘rest’ is sometimes taboo, even stigmatized in the workplace.
‘Dreamscapes’ is nestled in the middle of Tanjong Pagar Plaza - at the heart of the quieter residential neighbourhood amidst the hustle and bustle of the predominantly commercial district. At its core, ‘Dreamscapes’ functions as a sleep clinic, offering a transformative ‘sleep immersion program.’ Locals can seek diagnoses and treatment for sleep and dream-related concerns that may affect their daily lives. Visitors can choose to partake in bedtime activities - a list of public and semiprivate programmes that would gear them up for a good sleep. Afterwhich, visitors can explore the experimental themed sleep rooms - each with different lighting conditions and ambiences.
With the proposal of a formal, communal facility for rest, ‘Dreamscapes’ redefines ‘rest’ as an essential part of our work life, seamlessly weaving it into the very fabric of our urban existence. It envisions a city where we not only work but also dream, where public spaces encourage us to pause, rejuvenate, and embrace the art of rest.

BLOOMING ECLIPSE
REDUCING GLARE VIA POLARIZATION
NUS Y2 (AY22/23 Semester Two)
Design 4 | Environment, Climate, Envelope
Studio Dr. Tan Beng Kiang
“Blooming Eclipse” @ Nan Hua High involves the proposal of a new modular facade system which aims to tackle environmental issues - specifically issues of excessive glare and to mitigate effects of solar heat gain. The proposed facade for retrofitting targets the school’s classroom blocks (Blocks G, E, F), where students spend most of their time in school in. Thus, ensuring visual comfort and providing occupants with the autonomy to control lighting levels according to their needs in different weather & classroom conditions would be important, especially in improving one’s ability to concentrate and perform cognitive tasks.
Using main ideas from the proposed northern facade, a new facade along the corridor of the classroom blocks is also proposed, with a different focus of encouraging creative expression through the showcase a shared class identity. The installation of perforated polarizing glass panels along the corridors serve as ‘peg boards’, encouraging displays of decorated discs / other items which would strengthen this identity.

FACADE AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL
During our visit to site, we noticed classroom decorations put up at the back of the class, allowing students to express a shared class identity.
We thought of bringing this shared identity to the corridor, a shared public space that would allow students to showcase this identity in the form of interactive modules.
Using polarizing discs, students would be able to decorate discs and place them in between the polarizing panels along corridors, and manually rotate them to study the effects of light transmission through materials.

TRANSITIONING INTO THE PRIVATE REALMS
NUS Y2 (AY22/23 Semester One)
Design 3 | Aggregation, Structure, Space
Studio Victor Lee
Liminal & Beyond - an apartment block situated in the bustling junctions of Rowell Road and Kampong Kapor Road, aims to challenge and serve as an alternative to the typical public housing typology, where collectivity and publicness are typically emphasized.
The collective encompasses qualities such as open and closed spaces, with reference to an analysis of the 2 sculptures by David Umemoto - Cubic Geometry IX-V Minus and Plus. The continuity of the solid and void form, as well as the interconnectivity of spaces using a series of staircases which act as the threshold between what constitutes the private, semi-private and public spaces, were ideas brought from the intial probes. These qualities were carried onto the collective, where the units were aggregated with the idea of prevent overlaps, so as to create opportunities for open, yet private spaces with indoor/outdoor uses - a rare commodity.
It aims to serve as an intensification of the private nature of the site, where the private realms of the shophouses adjacent are semi-hidden behind walls that conceal, yet partially reveal part of the unit. Thus, access into the apartment block is via a semi-hidden sunken plaza holding communal activities exclusive to just the dwellers. Planting strips along the edges help to demarcate a soft boundary between the surroundings and the collective. In the process of aggregation, ‘layers’ of spaces that act as a transition between the private and semi-private spaces emerge. The dwelling units are extended into semi-private outdoor spaces, shared between 1-2 units, highlighting the idea of exclusivity.

In an attempt to modify the cube and make the spaces within them habitable, more volumes are further subtracted to create spaces for headroom, as well as increase the interconnectivity of these open / closed space. Similarly, In the analysis of cubic geometry ix-v minus, the subtraction and interweaving of the voids throughout the cube gave rise to pockets of interconnected open and closed spaces hidden behind the outer planes of the cube - evident in cubic geometry ix-v plus which happens to represent the remnant spaces generated by cubic geometry ix-v minus.

COMBINED CUBES
An exploration of how the operated cubes could be combined via their spatial characteristics was done (e.g. open-closed spaces, big-small spaces etc.), resulting in a series of di erent cube combinations posing di erent outcomes & spatial qualities.
The interconnectivity betweeen the di erent levels of spaces, and the potential of most spaces to be maximised in terms of usage, were key criterias in the narrowing down of options leading to the final combined cube.
COMBINATION STRATEGY
DWELLING ANALOGUES
The dwelling analogue is formed after modifications were made to improve the interconnectivity and habitability between di erent spaces within the combined cube.
Stairs and recessed platforms were added and act as a threshold between the open and closed spaces / demarcates the boundaries of a habitable space without the need for doorways, reinforcing the idea of interconnectivity between the open-closed spaces.

COMBINED CUBE
The final combined cube is the result of the open-open combination strategy, where the open part of A3 was flipped and matched to A1, creating a large open space at the top of both combined cubes, as well as 2 disconnected closed spaces.
The ‘base unit’ is aggregated to form a series of other unit variants, resulting in spaces posing di erent spatial characteristics. The added layers and vertical transitions between the open, semi-open and closed spaces create opportunities for

SCHOOL OF CONTEMPORARY & ARTISANAL CRAFTS CURATE
The site sits within an intersection of cultures and commercial activity. Commercial activity, and especially craft-related trade played a pivotal and significant role in the early beginnings of the district.
This is evident by the number of artisanal craft-related stores found around the site. However, along with many other countries, the practice of artisanal crafts have been seeing a decline in interest and relevancy over the years, especially in an age where the demands of consumerism are met through the convenience of mass production.
Thus, in view of the declining relevancy of artisanal crafts, the school aims to safeguard the practice of artisanal crafts by providing a platform for the passing of craft skill/knowledge & to explore the fusion of contemporary craft practices so as to increase its relevancy.
The school embraces the crossovers and fusion between the old and the new - traditional and contemporary practices which may otherwise be perceived to supersede the practice of artisanal crafts.
On a neighbourhood scale, the school also becomes a form of interconnected public space for the neighbourhood to learn and appreciate artisanal crafts.

FUTURE HOUSING FOR THE AGEING POPULATION
It is estimated that 1 in 4 Singaporeans will be aged 65 years and above by 2030 - highlighting Singapore’s growing concerns of an ageing population.
Based on research and surveys carried out, it was found that one of the primary concerns of the ageing population is the ability to age-in-place - defined as the ability to stay within their communities while keping a degree of independence. Additionally, it was found that seniors who lived along tended to rely more on their friends or neighbours for support, to avoid falling into the risk of social isolation.
Vertical Village @ Lavender aims to redefine housing for senior citizens by addressing their needs, concerns and aspirations , to enable them to age-in-place independently but healthily within the community. The project explores how intergenerational programmes - common programmes aimed at bringing people of different age groups together, could be integrated into highrise living, given the diverse demographic of Jalan Besar.

INTERGENERATIONAL PROGRAMMES
Intergenerational programmes are common programmes in which people of different age groups could partake in together. The types of intergenerational programmes introduced are decided based on the aspirations of the ageing population.
The introduction of intergenerational programmes within the residence aims to reduce the chances of social isolation for senior citizens who live alone, while fulfilling their aspirations. It also aims to remove the stigma that surround the programmes which are typically carried out in ‘senior activity centres’ within the neighbourhood, encouraging participation in these activities.
Eventually, it was decided that these programmes would be located at different levels within the development based on their level of intimacy. By determining the different levels of intimacy for each programme, it encourages participation in these programmes as people are able to choose to participate at scales that they are comfortable with.
