IMAGINE YOUR FUTURE, BUILD YOUR DREAMS
I’M SINKING ABOUT IT
Year Three Semester One (Exchange in Tongji University - Masters’ Studio)
Studio Cuisong Qu
Location: Villa Las Estrellas, Antarctica
I’m Sinking About It,” rejuvenates Villa Las Estrellas with a unique three-pronged approach that incorporates wind turbines as the main source of energy. In this design, we blend crystallic-inspired housing typologies with elevated research centers, fostering a harmonious and sustainable community that embodies the spirit of “Imagine Your Future, Build Your Dreams.”

Villa Las Estrellas innovatively harnesses the constant Antarctic winds with wind turbines to generate sustainable energy. Advanced batteries ensure power supply, and indoor greenhouses connect residents to nature, improving life in the challenging Antarctic environment. Additionally, central indoor greenhouses not only provide fresh food but also create a vital link between residents and the natural world, enhancing the quality of life in this demanding Antarctic environment.

FORBIDDEN DIAGONALLEY
Year Two Semester One
Studio Shin Yokoo
Location: Tanjong Pagar, Singapore
The design of Forbidden Diagonalley was driven by utilising walls to it’s maximum potential through unique volumes and a different take to the regular aggregation. The aggregation explores the function of the oblique of using these slanted walls in multiple ways such as lounging, stairs as well as sun shade.
These units were then explored for its unconventional habitability and supplemented with steel pillars which reflect the slanted language of the building.
The building seeks to show the different forbidden voids - mini, micro and macro - that have been distributed within the units, the units themselves and throughout the platforms of the diagonal building.
AMBITIOUS AMBIGUITY
Year Two Semester Two
Studio Yang Han
Location: Nan Hua Secondary School, Clementi, Singapore
Through our exploration of form while thinking about what would be important for different spaces in schools, we arrive at our performative form that considers different exterior conditions like airflow, daylighting, reduction of passive solar heat gains, views and stormwater.
Our collaboration this semester has been filled with ups and downs in terms of our design process but we were able to work through it and prevail through the odds with our AMBITIOUS AMBIGUITY.

FLUIDITY IN CHAOS
Year One Semester One
Studio Ng San Son
Understanding spatial use. Mentality cause-and-effect. Fluidity in Chaos explores the usage of space in an MRT cabin of one of the most used lines in singapore being the North-South line. Integrating complex geometries with data of the movement of people in and out of the cabin and their choices of where they choose to stand or sit, reflect greatly on how preconceived mentality has shaped movement. Understanding how people interact and use a space is one of the fundamentals of creating a space. Despite the train being a temporary space where people inhabit, it has still become one of the integral spaces that we spend a significant amount of time in.

The movement was first drafted in curves then lofted as a volume to show the undulations and the missed movements.
This model was derived from the movement of people as the train travels at different points in time on the line.

TRIANGULATION DISORDER
Consistency of form flows through in the RC of Triangulation Disorder. With consideration of the isometric grid form, the order of placement, orientation, and form of the pillars are based on concept and calculation.
The structure of Triangulation Disorder was determined using a diagonal grid with pillars sheared at different angles determined by the RC structure. The main feature of the pillars would be the split pillars at certain areas to allow for space to be created and hence circulation. The girders were then determined by connecting the points of pillars to create triangular shapes, strengthening the structure.
