Sensory Meditation

Year: 2022

Category: Community (DFMA)

Action Word: Meditate

Level 17 Unit 02

The key to embodying mindfulness practice is to turn into a keen observer.

Using the five senses (sound, smell, sight, taste, and touch), it would allow one to be grounded in the present moment and can enhance their experiences with the world around them. Appreciating the five senses also help slow down and live for the moment.

With a total of 4 distinct module, each module challenges the extremity of each sense- sight, feel, sound, scent and taste, where those little spaces would allow them them to find their own comfortable space to be in. Ultimately, this scheme aims to allow occupants to find comfort and experience detachment from thoughts and feelings.

Sea Nomad

a Travelling virtual Tourist attraction

The year is 2053 and the world is faced with yet another pandemic. “We have been through Covid, we can handle this.” people pray, hoping to never relive an age of isolation. But, just as fast as people’s hopes rose, the world sank. The new pandemic dubbed The Deviant initiated a worldwide lockdown; borders closed, families separated, cultures divided. It was just like last time…

The Sea Nomad proposes an attraction that transcends borders, free from the shackles of pandemics. Currently, tourist attractions are bound to a country’s border. How might we create an attraction that could move to other places to share their cultures and experiences? Using Singapore as a point of reference, the Sea Nomad replicates the country’s attractions through a hybrid of natural and virtual experiences. As it travels to other countries, it allows others to experience Singapore without having to actually travel. Likewise, other countries can dock their Sea Nomads to allow Singaporeans to experience the world outside. Like a traveling circus, the attractions come to you instead, preventing the spread of disease.

Inspired by the diverse aquatic life surrounding Singapore’s waters, the shape of the Sea Nomad glides through water like a stingray with a protective shell emulating the horseshoe crab. The top half of the Sea Nomad houses Singapore’s natural attractions like the Botanic Gardens.
