About Me As a second-year Architecture degree student at Taylor’s University, I am actively seeking a 2-month internship opportunity from February 1st to March 31st. I am eager to learn from industry experts and gain hands-on experience under professional guidance. My ultimate goal is to be enlightened by how the industry tackles the design process. I believe this internship will provide me with valuable insights that will be instrumental in my academic and professional growth.

THE FOOD FOUNDRY A Community Center for Kebun Komuniti USJ 7 The proposed project is not for a definitive generic community center but for a method that - responsive towards a humble notion of civic publicness that is programmatically assembled, defining a marketplace that generates community. A civic building, amalgamated from its banal, suburban context.

The contextual civic programs in which the building responds to, takes a speculative stance on the act of communion with a market, where marketplaces are typically bustling, driven by the hearth of a common logistical powerhouse of trade that result in unecessary food miles. What if a market’s sustanence is dependent on itself?

KIOSK HIJAU USJ 7 An Architectural Allotment for US7 Masterplan Engaged in a unique cycle where users are not only consumers but encouraged to become cultivators. Banal transactions of produce turn into the joy of receiving seeds that invites one to partake in the cycle of growth, fostering a connection between the consumer and their source of your nourishment.

The discovery center aims to reframe the concepts of Tanjung Tuan’s sacred perception, embracing it as part of the cape’s history rather than to be rejected.

KEBUN RIMBA USJ 7 A Masterplanning Proposal at USJ 7 Kebun Rimba proposes an escape from the bustle of contextual urbanism through an intervention of decidous vegitation buffers that screen away the outside world, which encourages a self sustaining ecosystem between site forces, with various programs of urban farming that emulate the symbiotic bond of the mother and her child.
