Programmes are designed emphasising on practising mindfulness, focusing on activities , through research, which helps people to relax and rejuvenate. Programmes includes private programmes for people to restore in calmity as well as interactive programmes for people to connect with each other.

To acknowledge the diversity of the religion in Brickfields and create a sense of unity among the community by learning their differences and understanding their similarities through the culture such as art, music, fashion and the most importantly for communication, language.
The purpose of the community center is to create a space for specific target user in specific time for them to pause and appreciate a city that once helped built Kuala Lumpur. The idea is to create a free public space to the community and turn it into a “Third Space” creating a public realm for people to relax, social contact, entertainment, leisure after hours.
Programmes are designed towards the behaviour of the community, focusing to unite the community through the significant Indian culture of Brickfields such as handloom weaving, pottery, mural and yoga. Programmes intersect the path of user by enabling each to teach their talent to the user excluding their social background.

合二为一
A community center in USJ18 assosiating with Kebun Kommunity P3KU for the disabled kids.
Year 2023
Semester

Location
P3KU, USJ 18
Tutor
Ar Shahira
P3KU is a community urban farm proposed by MBSJ which aim is to encourage residents to transform underutilized land into productive garden. Besides that, P3KU is also staffed with kids with special needs to help them learn and contribute to the society through farming and provide themselves income for them to live independently.
Although the farm have been running for quite some time, its lack of notice even from nearby residents is a problem faced by the farm. Its lack of connection to neighbouring context makes it an isolated space which had defeated the purpose of the project. The previous centre of P3KU also lacks design and considerations towards the disabled community.
合二为一 is a community centre designed to blur the boundaries and bring in the community into P3KU. The main purpose is to educate the public about how modern farming/urban farm works and the how it is operated by the disabled workers. It provides an opportunity for both communities to interact and build respect towards each other through understanding both sides of the story.

Maternity House Competition

Year 2024
Semester 5 - 6
Location Diana Ba, Senegal
Site Area
675 sqm | 7.265 sqft
Senegal’s relatively low maternal mortality rate is partly attributed to the cultural significance of childbirth, deeply rooted in the community’s faith practices. This connection is reflected in the tradition of praying for a safe delivery and celebrating new life. Acknowledging this cultural importance, the design of the maternity center transcends basic functionality by integrating elements that honor Senegal’s collective faith in God during all stages of childbirth.
Given that 95% of Senegal’s population are Sunni Muslims, the maternity center places the musollah (prayer space) at its core. Its distinct rotation towards the qibla highlights its importance, using the principle of anomaly to underscore its orientation. Positioned between the ward and operation wing, the musollah meets the spiritual needs of families, especially husbands and relatives, as they support mothers undergoing surgery or childbirth in the South and North wings.
The musollah’s windowless walls ensure only natural light enters through a raised roof, fostering a serene atmosphere ideal for prayer. Outside, shaded benches surrounded by greenery provide a welcoming area for families to gather, offering a peaceful retreat from the heat when not engaged in prayer.

Tubes of different sizes are responsible for linking the whole module together as well as transporting goods, supplies, people as well as power generated.

Performance Competition
REWIND’23 Architectural Competition 2023
Rewind’23 Architecture Workshop is a national architecture workshop held by PAM (Persatuan Arkitek Malaysia) dedicated to architecture students all around Malaysia. The performance competition is once of its highlight event with teams from each school coming up with various performance.
Our theme for this year ‘s workshop is to create a performance using hand-made instrument with a theme of “camp“. We decided to create a performance telling a story about the Taylor’s maskot - Garuda, conquering its nemisis - The Serpent and protecting the people via the power of unity of “camp”. We designed an eagle structure of the Garuda which also act as an instrument and used and decorate the drums with pink as our idea of camp is “camp fashion“ from the 2018 Met Gala.

The building typology of the project is a 4-storey showroom/ office. By making ammendments to a previous proposal, the client decided to go with a more organic facade with a more futuristic facade and implementing curtain wall facade for permeability by public.
The task that i was assigned is to design a facade according to the client’s needs. The design I went with is a cantilever facde with a more organic shape as well as using planter box to smoothen the edges of the building. Besides that rounded-edges-column with lighting implemented at the edges of the column blurred the edges of the column creating a continuous futuristic looks that align with the clients view.
The software used in this project includes AutoCAD, Sketchup and D5.
