CO-TROPOLIS // CO-LIVING

Sharing City Masterplan

One North, Singapore

Building on the basis of the prevalence of the sharing economy in Singapore, the current Tanjong Pagar Terminal is envisioned as an experimental site for a future model of living that combines the collective forms and modes of sharing that permeates through different facets of living and social interactions. This site is a testbed for experimentation, analysis and evaluation of different forms of participation, sharing and collaboration that can be promoted in a high density, tropical urban environment. Everyone in the neighbourhood, including residents, workers, visitors, etc., is seen as a potential participant in certain activities that will ultimately produce meaningful sharing through co-production, co-consumption and collective interaction.

This design project aims to uncover the meaning of the notion of sharing and what exactly does it entail through the various exchanges between people in the urban context of Singapore. Through research and appropriate extrapolation of current trends and circumstances, the different layers of society further explored by the studio are through sharing of new modes of transportation, co-production of food and waste, co-making in the form of entrepreneurship and maker culture, co-working through projectbased working community and open communities for continuous learning and co-living that models out a new mode of shared living through customization of spaces and builds upon daily encounters that revitalises the future urban scene. These different facets of every day occurrences and needs are layered upon each other, each interconnecting and intertwining as they constructs and structures social and economic factors. In this neighbourhood anatomy, each system works together in a natural and built proposed environment. The intentions of this design studio is to question the idea of the urban commons in the sharing economy, identify the sharing culture and challenges posed, conceptualize and design for the spatial typology and architecture of sharing circumstances in an urban framework to accommodate and facilitate this phenomenon. While this masterplan and architecture design result in one possibility of many future potentials, this design studio commendably raises issues and provides solutions of certain degree to help facilitate further discussion and debates in an attempt to address the future, highlighting the best and worst of imminent circumstances.

Co-Living tackles and explores a new typologies of shared living, focusing on differing scales of sharing - from the self to the larger community - in order to create a symbiotic relationship between the site and its systems. The scheme revolves around 3 main premises:

(1) The context of site as a test bed, with ownership as a collaboration between multiple innovation sectors. The Maker Hub as main product incubator and innovation centre maintains ownership and maintenance of housing under a circular economy. In return, residents participate through their inclusion in a feedback loop, monitoring product and spatial use, while enjoying the latest protoypes and product.

(2) The premise of owning less and sharing more as mirrored by sharing economy trends today. Housing in this scheme relies on an affordable subscription model which grants the subscriber premium access to different sharing nodes on site. Ownership is reduced at an individual scale but through new typologies, sharing is expanded on multiple urban levels.

(3) The parameters of accomodating 21,000 people on site, based on co-production estimates for a self-sustainable community.

The identity of the site as test bed curates a living community made up of PMETs, students, tourists and backpackers. The design of shared living is approached through different scales, defining layers and aspects of specifc urban life that can be shared economically and logically, while crafting spatial relationships that encourage shared identity and altruism through neighbourliness.

The urban strategy characterizes 4 main districts (Park, Waterfront, Maker & Farm) to create an identity with characteristics to different sharing nodes on site. The ground floor podiums house and centralize urban functions, as well as provide accessibility on different levels, creating a seamless pedestrian network as a foundation for sharing to take place.

REALMS OF SHARING

Co-living Preference Survey by IKEA (One Shared House 2030)The survey shows preferences regarding shared housing which serves as the basis for the design of our co-living experience.

The urban strategy characterizes 4 main districts (Park, Waterfront, Maker & Farm) to create an identity with characteristics to different sharing nodes on site. The ground ﬂoor podiums house and centralize urban functions, as well as provide accessibility on different levels, creating a seamless pedestrian network as a foundation for sharing to take place.

The house becomes a ﬂexible cluster with clearboundaries of private space and ambiguous pockets of expandable shared space. The block layers privacy and visual interaction horizontally and vertically, while ground ﬂoor podiums provide the precursor to sharing on site - accessibility and spillover spaces for other nodes. On an urban scale, residential density incorporates solar panels, pneaumatic waste management systems and water harvesting for shared energy generation.

Sectional isonometric on the right shows how the block incorporates various system and facilities to be shared by the residents as well as visitors.

TEXTILE ART & RECYCLING CENTER

Architectural building design

Singapore

Year 3 Semester 2 (Part 2)

Dr Tsuto Sakamoto

Responding to the rich history of textile trading brought by people of differing backgrounds to Rochor as well as the long-ignored problem of textile wastage in Singapore, a Textile Art and Recycling Center is proposed.

While functionally it aims to house artists from around the globe to create textile related art, recycles and also educates people about textiles, it also seeks to be another landmark of Rochor. This is to “weave” the gap that currently breaks the continuity of Rochor’s movement.

LINKWAYS MASTERPLAN //

NYENGSERET SLUM REDEVELOPMENT

PROJECT

Masterplan Bandung, Indonesia

Year 3 Semester 1 (Part 1)

Dr Tan Beng Kiang & Prof Fung John Chye

Christopher Cheng, Floris Dreesman, Lim Ji Young and Li Can.

The masterplan ‘Linkways’ intends to create a lively and diverse neighborhood whereby connection is key. Connecting the residents, living in both the subsidized and nonsubsidized housing, the people living in the surrounding area and the visitors and consumers - of both the mall, the market and the shops and restaurants. Three main arteries through the area create several distinct atmospheres and functions: Market Street, Kampong Street and the Riverfront Promenade. Lateral connections ensure integration of these areas: Bridges connects the mall and the market podium, the surrounding neighborhoods, and between the podiums.

The podium in between the street has extensive and diverse commercial and communal functions, optimizing economic and social functioning. We see this as crucial to successful and viable development of the area and therefor purposely added to the program’s initial requirements. A uniform constructional grid allows for great standardization and easy, safe and cheap construction and expansion with local involvement and extension possible. Through modularization the infll can be constructed locally, effciently and cost-effectively through benefting the economy of scale. The residential buildings are kept to 6 stories, extendable to a maximum of 9, to keep regard of the human scale and maximize proper wind flow and sun exposure in the courtyard-like spaces and the streets.

In the initial phase the mall will be constructed as a whole, afterwards the subsidized-residential housing and podium will be built in a partby-part manner, making sure people can move right into their new homes without being temporarily displaced. The proposal aims to create a fne-grained, diverse and lively Nyengseret of which economic and social viability is keyhopefully allowing it to serve as an examplary Kampung redevelopment strategy!

RIVER PROMENADE @ NYENGSERET

Urban Design Bandung, Indonesia

Year 3 Semester 1 (Part 1)

Dr Tan Beng Kiang & Prof Fung John Chye

River promenade is stretched from jalan panjunan to the mosque at the tip of the site. as a space that is connected directly to the public via jalan panjunan and bridge link to the shopping mall and the residents from kampong street, it holds a lot of potential in bridging the two communities in.

The aim of this river promenade is to create a space that is more occupiable, so that both residents and public would use this space together. Based on a book by himanshu burte “spaces for engagement”, occupiability of a space can be increased by creating “rough” textures on the walls which thus will create pockets of spaces.

In times of need, the lower promenade can store the flood water from the river so that it will not harm the shops, residents and public outside of the site. The upper promenade is the main circulation connecting the main road and the mosque.

It is also where a series of shops slotted under the 2 level podium below the subsidised housing. the upper promenade is broken into a series of spaces with small threshold which is meant to be shared by the shops around it for outdoor seating area.
