A PLACE TO LIVE , WHERE THERE IS FLOW WITHIN THE ARCHITECTURE BY LEARNING FROM THE ‘ GURU ‘ SALIX ARCTICA WHICH GROWS IN CLUMPS CREATES POSSIBILITIES OF A COMPACT AND EFFICIENT WAY OF LIVING. THE ARCHITECTURE SPREADS HORIZONTALLY INSTEAD OF GROWING VERTICALLY , OFFERING A POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO SKYSCRAPERS THAT ARE PREVALENT IN THE 21ST CENTURY
SALIX ARCTICA , IS A PLANT THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE TUNDRA. THE TUNDRA CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A TREELESS PLAIN WITH UNEVEN GROUND. OBSERVATIONS OF THE PLANT : 1. THE PLANT HAS A VERY COMPLEX ROOT SYSTEM WHICH LINKS THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PLANT 2. THE PLANT CAN BE SPLIT INTO 3 PARTS . THE ROOTS , THE LEAVES AND THE FLOWER , WHICH BOTH SEEMS TO GROW N CLUSTERS
SALIX ARCTICA PREFERS COLD DRY CLIMATES DUE TO ITS ADAPTATIONS. THE ADAPTATIONS FOR SURVIVAL INCLUDES : 1. THE PLANT IS ADAPTED TO THE COLD CLIMATE BY GROWING FUZZY HAIR 2. THE PLANT GROWS CLOSE TO THE GROUND TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM THE BITTER COLD WIND 3. THE PLANT GROWS LIKE A CARPET TO COVER THE GROUND, THIS ADAPTATION REDUCES HEAT LOSS TO THE AIR 4. THE PLANT HAS THE ABILITY TO GROW ORGANICALLY ACCORDING TO ITS TERRAIN

BRINGING LIFE INTO THE ARCHITECTURE , WHERE LIFE WILL BE WELL FACILITATED. OCCUPANTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ENTERTAINMENT , TRANSPORT AS WELL AS LIVING AND COMMUNITY SPACES. LEARNING FROM THE ‘ GURU ‘ FUR OF THE PLANT ( MAINTAINS THE LIFE OF THE PLANT BY KEEPING IT WARM ) ROOT OF THE PLANT ( BRINGS WATER AND ESSENTIAL MINERALS TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PLANT ) PLANT ADAPTING TO ITS SURROUNDINGS BY AVOIDING GROWTH IN AREAS WITH OBSTACLES SUCH AS ROCKS

CONNECTED BY THE SEA AND SKY , INFLUENCED BY HUMANS’ DESIRE AND NATURE’S WILL. THE ARCHITECTURE HOUSES THE ELEMENTS OF TRADE. FROM PRODUCTION TO THE ACTUAL ACT OF TRADING ITSELF. THROUGH MY RESEARCH THE SYSTEM EMULATES EARTH’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CELESTIAL BODIES SUCH AS THE SUN HAD A GREAT IMPACT ON TRADE.

GEOGRAPHICAL GOOD FORTUNE STRATEGIC LOCATION AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE MARITIME TRADE ROUTES BETWEEN EUROPE AND ASIA SEA TRAVEL IN PRE-MODERN TIMES WERE GREATLY DEPENDENT ON MONSOON WINDS TO PULL THE SAILS OF MARITIME CRAFTS. THIS WIND IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS TRADE WINDS. VESSELS USED ONE MONSOON TO SAIL TO THE MALAY PENINSULA AND ONE BACK TO CHINA. THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO IS LOCATED STRATEGICALLY AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE SEASONAL WINDS. MARITIME SILK ROADS WERE ‘ SPLIT ‘ INTO TWO AREAS WITH INDIA DOMINATING THE INDIAN OCEAN AND CHINESE DOMINATING NAN HAI. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE TWO CONVERGED AT THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO TO TRADE MANY CAME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE PORT STATUS OF SINGAPORE PADANG, THE FORMER SHORELINE OF SINGAPORE. ARTIFACTS WERE FOUND FROM THE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF SOIL. WITH DIFFERENT LAYERS SERVING AS INFORMATION OF THE DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS OF TRADE AND CIVILIZATION IN SINGAPORE

IN THE DESIGN, THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT EXISTS IN HARMONY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. TO ACHIEVE ' SYMBIOSIS '. THE DESIGN WAS DEVELOPED WITH CONSIDERATIONS OF THE SITE. WHERE GREENERY AND STRONG WINDS WERE OF ABUNDANCE. THE VISION OF CREATING ' UNOBSTRUCTED FLOW OF GREENERY, WIND AND PEOPLE'. AIMS TO DEVELOP A DESIGN THAT ENCOURAGES ' FLOW ' OF THE UNIQUE QUALITIES PRESENT IN THE SITE

DFMA MODULES AS THE BASIS FOR OUR DESIGN. THE APPLICATION OF PASSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES WAS ALSO AN APPROACH THE TEAM TOOK ON TO OPTIMISE DESIGN OUTCOME.THE DOTTED LINES REPRESENT THE AREA TAKEN OUT TO 'BREAK THE DESIGN '.THE BREAK INCREASES CIRCULATION OF AIRFLOW AND NATURAL DAYLIGHTING INTO THE AREA. THE KEY PRINCIPLE WAS TO HAVE REGULAR MODULES THAT HAS A STANDARD 'LANGUAGE', AN ALGORITHM SET WHEN DESIGNING THE FORM. CONSISTENCY IN THE MODULES USED SIMPLIFIES APPROACH WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO LOWER COSTS AND INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY.THE SIZE OF A SINGLE MODULE IS WITHIN THE LIMIT OF THE DIMENSIONS ALLOWED TO BE TRANSPORTED ON PUBLIC ROAD WITHOUT REQUIRING ANY SPECIAL MEASURES.

PROJECT : NEW FLAGSHIP STORE INTERIOR FOR W OPTICS @ JEWEL ( APPROX. 53SQM SQUARE SHAPED ) W OPTICS CORE VALUES : “ TO BE YOUR LIFE TIME EYE-CARE PROVIDER APPEALING TO BOTH LOCALS AND TRAVELERS OF ALL AGE GROUPS DESIGN AN EXPERIENCE THAT PATRONS WILL GO THROUGH IDENTIFY “ MAGIC “ AND TURN IT INTO A MEASURABLE / TANGIBLE APPROACH PROJECT SCHEDULE : 7 WEEKS GROUP PROJECT : LOO SHINYIN , LIAO ZHENGLONG , LIM XUANYA , CHEE WENCONG
A SCENE SETTLED IN TIME , A TIME WHICH CONTRASTS
BASED ON A SCENE OF SINGAPORE’S PAST TO A PAST WHERE ROADS WERE NOT AS STRUCTURED AS IT IS NOW HUMBLE BEGINNINGS OF W OPTICS TRANSFORMING INTO A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE MARKET SINGAPORE’S HUMBLE BEGINNING FROM A FISHING VILLAGE TO A FINANCIAL HUB BUT WHAT HAVE WE LOST AS TIME PASSED ? DOES THE TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN SINGAPORE REALLY REFLECTS HOW SINGAPORE REALLY IS ?
TO BRING THE PATRONS THROUGH A “ TIME MACHINE “ , TO A SCENE SETTLED IN EARLY SINGAPORE TO ALLOW BOTH LOCALS AND TOURISTS TO EXPERIENCE A BIT OF SINGAPORE’S PAST TO OFFER A CONTRASTS TO THE MODERN DESIGN OF JEWEL VINTAGE RETRO - INSPIRED THE SCENE THAT PATRONS WILL BE TRANSPORTED BACK TO. WHERE TRAFFIC POLICE DIRECTS THE TRAFFIC INSTEAD WHEN THERE WERE “ BEAUTY IN CHAOS “ INITIAL DESIGN : CLIENTS FEEDBACK : 1.
COLOURS OF THE SHOP WERE TOO STRAINOUS ON THE EYES
2.
DESIGN IS TOO FLASHY AND MAY SNATCH THE FOCUS AWAY FROM THAT WERE TO BE DISPLAYED
3.
ALTHOUGH CONCEPT WAS TO HAVE SERVICE DONE AT THE CENTRE OF THE SHOP , IT WAS NOT FEASIBLE DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE SHOP
FINAL DESIGN : MODIFICATIONS : 1.
COLOUR OF THE WALLS WERE CHANGED`
2.
DESIGNS SUCH AS THE FEATURE WALLS WERE MODIFIED TO BE LESS ATTENTION GRABBING
3.
SERVICE AREA WAS MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE SHOP
