Also, in other modules, different software to apply in my project assignments. I also learn that beside individual skill and effort, teamwork is also important to completing project tasks.

• Echoes of Renewal
Echoes of Renewal is a landscaping project that harnesses the natural cycle of decay and regeneration by allowing leaves to accumulate and decompose in designated ponds, fostering diverse aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Rather than viewing decay as waste, the project embraces it as a catalyst for new life, creating a dynamic, self-sustaining environment.
• Riverfront Recollections
Designed riverfront project that harmonises natural beauty with historical reflection, creating a vibrant communal space where people of all ages can gather. This landscape design draws inspiration from the area’s rich heritage, incorporating elements that echo the cultural and historical significance of the river.
• Genius of Nature
Jellony is a biomimicry design study of the 'immortal' Jelly (Turritopsis dohrnii) from Japan. Due to the climatic oceanic conditions and its habitat, it can live forever without external needs and can solely be independent. Jellony is an exploration of a self-sustaining residence for water-based communal spaces.
• The Villager and their Dwelling of Magic
This project was about a shophouse I chose with a ‘villager’ that has a connection with it. Using the different traits and behaviours the people in that shop, I found a magic within the shophouse to help come up with a new architecture that will eventually benefit the shopkeeper and users
• Dwelling Narrative
The dwelling narrative project was about studying the spacial and unique qualities of a certain house that was assigned to us.
My assignment was on the Tunnel House by Makiko Tsukada in Japan. The spacial quallities that I chose was about the light and shadows that forms in and around the house.
