bring people

the Kluang’s downtown

The project focused on reinvigorating Kluang’s downtown by bringing locals and tourists into the downtown with diverse spaces and all-yearround programs. The project’s scope covered the master planning of the downtown with the proposed green loop that aims to strengthen the downtown’s connectivity and promote economic development. However, the focus was the three key nodes: the old railway station, the lake and river park, and the bus interchange. These areas have much potential due to their primary gateway function and high social and gathering value. The design interventions include enhancing the pedestrian experience through the seamless connection, proposing space character in response to the neighboring community, and integrating blue and green networks to provide multiple ecosystem services. Overall, the design proposal of strengthening the green infrastructure will provide Kluang’s downtown with a new identity, bring new hope for the Kluang people and make Kluang a more liveable town to stay and visit.

Enhancing Infrastructure Transit-Oriented Development Catalyzing Development

Improve the aesthetics and functionality of the railway and river corridor by creating a well-designed pedestrian and cycling path with ample shade, sufficient seating, good lighting, and amenities.

Create pedestrian-friendly streets around the key transit nodes that will provide convenient connections.

The development of the key nodes and the in-between connections will gradually promote the downtown’s economy growth, contribute to its infil development and bring more vibracy into the town.

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MANGROVES

Singapore’s post-war urban development has relied on altering natural systems to harness benefits. Pandan Reservoir, for example, was created through the displacement of mangroves and is an infrastructure that provides vital services for human development. Infrastructure for Mangroves proposes to invert existing human infrastructure to create a better environment for mangroves and facilitate their reproduction along the Jurong River. The design envisions a series of modified infrastructures and landforms to manipulate water flow and tidal fluctuation to accelerate the development of mangrove plantations and increase the success of their re-establishment in this district. This novel method of operating the mangrove plantation creates a space where the process of mangrove growth can be witnessed and appreciated. At the same time, it also serves as a prototype for future recreating mangrove habitats in southwest Singapore.

Digital Playscapes - Biking Rhythm

DESIGN STUDIO 5 | 2021 | INDIVIDUAL

The design proposal aims to promote biking culture by introducing a diverse range of bike trails and features dedicated to BMX and mountain bikes and providing casual riding on both high and low ground within the park. These bike features are fun and active play for all ages that strengthen the bonding between one another. By exploring the site through biking, it seeks to activate a broader range of body movements that would evoke a sense of adventure and curiosity lacking within this urban setting.

Design Consideration for Cycling Bridge

To ensure optimal functionality, connecting the main entrances is crucial when designing a cycling bridge. Additionally, incorporating a central ramp for easy access is highly recommended. It’s essential to avoid interference with other play zones while providing viewing decks for an enhanced experience.

THE ‘RIDGE’ EXPERIENCE DESIGN STUDIO 3 | 2020 | INDIVIDUAL

Original lowland forest was being reduced to a relatively small forest fringe behind Yusof Ishak House. It was constructed to provide functional spaces such as university campus, military estate and rubber plantation were created for economic. Despite being isolated at the high end of the campus topography, Kent Ridge Forest Fringe remained as the heart of Kent Ridge. Integrating with the overarching strategy and the ideology of keeping the original forest fringe, it aims to enhance the ecological system and fauna association by expanding the landscape from the forest fringe. This can be achieved through the elaborated plant species associated with biodiversity and providing a seamless green corridor to allow faunas to loiter in ease. While interlocking fauna association, the design aims to engage the community through the walk into the forest. Users get to indulge themselves while being surrounded by the tower of trees in the forest.
