BREWING TIME: 1 WEEK (NOVEMBER 2018) A conversation of dreaming living & giving, A Weaver’s Confluence takes flight in the urban landscape of Serangoon Central, Singapore.

EXPLORATIONS-A WEAVER’S CONFLUENCE URA CUBE URBAN PLANNING SERANGOON CENTRAL,SINGAPORE

THE TEAM

The site is at Serangoon Central,Singapore.The project is to develop a community hub that can potentially serve as a new heart for the serangoon central precint,to preserve the identity of serangoon and so as to bridge the gap between the silver and the young generation.

The title of this project is called a weaver’s confluence.We envision the scheme to be one that heavily involves the roots of Serangoon;where the rangoon bird used to inhabit the area of Serangoon.With that,my team incorporates this concept for the architecture and the connectivity of the scheme.
