01. UNIT BACKGROUND

02.CONTEXT

03. MASTERPLAN

04. DESIGN SCHEME (PLAZA)

Creating a receptive place for refugees is a delicate process given the emotional and deeply personal notions of complete upheaval, exile and loss of ‘home’ that the refugee embodies. The unit’s task is to devise propositions that can account for the ethical and empathetic issues implicit in the refugee’s migration. Each student began by creating a ‘memory map’, a personal exploration of each individual’s relation to displacement.

The site strategyis based on the liminality concept inspired by precedent study of Jerusalem. The old city is characterized by stark patterns of segregation and ethno-class fragmentations of different quarters. Despite it being a constant area of conflict,the cross-interaction between different religions exist in the liminal spaces of each quarter’s boundary, in the form of economic interactions that happened within the souks (bazaar/market). These market occupied the periphery of Christian, Muslim, and Jews Quarters.

The master plan includes residential quarters, and several public Amenities.

The new intervention attempts to bridge the local context as well as the new residential users of the proposed residential development.

A plaza, which is the part I am focusing on, is immediately central to the space between public buildings (religious, governmental and civic) and this space is intended as a blank canvas where the practices, identities and beliefs of these distinct groups can be freely expressed in unforeseen and unplanned ways. This is inspired by Smithson’s ‘Italian Thoughts’, in particular his ‘Devices and Decorations’ section, where the city is described as being transformed by its invisible decoration, which takes place between the layers of deliberate architecture.

in choosing the site in Aguilas. It adopt the same concept as to foster and encourage interactions between the local and new users. The chosen site is located in the intersection of the Ramblas (dry River bed area) and the railway. The ramblas is mostly unoccupied or low level occupation such as industrial land and buildings

Other than the shared public amenities such as clinic, immigration office, and education facilities. The New historical museum dedicated for history of refugees to add cultural values. The Mosque and Church serves the religious needs of the refugees and the locals,

This subsequently served as inspiration for complex architectural and infrastructural strategies with respect to physical, social, and political aspects within the context of Aguilas - a city in the region of Murcia, located on the southern end of the Spanish Sea coast, Costa Blanca.

Memory Map: In remembering my diverse experiences of the numerous places I have called home, I have witnessed much marginalisation of ethnic and religious groups. This has inspired me to design a shared space where xenophobia and racism cannot easily flourish.

Different demographic occupied the site, with the local and suburban dwellings as well as new residential development which target the local indigenous people on the west side, The mixed population which consist of locals, economic migrants from all over the world, as well as expatriates on the east, as well as industrial area on the north.

Within the Public infrastructure, The new train station would expect a constant public flow throughout the site. Hence increasing the economic activities for the newly proposed retails, restaurants and marketplaces.

The rest of unused industrial land is dedicated for allotment and agricultural purpose for both the locals and the Refugees, This is where both the locals and the refugees share common activities.

One element in the plaza is the framing system, which is physically bound to the facade of the public buildings, serving as a singular architectural element which reinforces the notion of coexistence in a shared space. The frame itself can also be freely decorated by the users - for example with political signage, religious ornaments or state flags - however, the lack of an implicit purpose is deliberate, as different users are encouraged to let their imaginations occupy the framing as well as the space itself.

04. PROGRAMS

The design in practice focused on creating a small scaled intervention targeting the community within the context of Grangetown. Located in grange garden of cardiff in which consisted of multi-cultural economy. However, there is still sense of “racialisation of space” in which communal spaces is still restricted and exclusive to own religion.

The design of the Art centre focus onthe connectivity and visual engagement with the local community as well as the park’s users, which were vital in the theme of “social inclusion”.

The Art centre designed to fit within the existing context. The materiality of the building is heavily glazed as to give as much transparency as possible, The roof is cladded with mirror polished aluminium to reflect the surrounding trees and sky, with solid walls made of concrete. The internal courtyard which redefines the concept of “Inside=outside” retained the existing external finish of bonded gravel.

The use of external walls on 5 different entrances become canvas for creativity. Temporary exhibition spaces to showcase students art work.

The proposal proposed an Art centre that acts as educational space which is used as an extension by the local art colege, as well as being purposed for both public and clients for the NHS Art therapist.

The architectural footprint sits on the existing “routes” as it intends to take as little existig green space as possible. It also intends to become the new centre of the park while revitalizing the existing feature of the bandstand as it become a part of the architectural scheme.

In order to provide a functional and adaptive centre for the community (given the site and cost constraints), different multi-functional areas exist to suit many needs. Similar to the multi purpose studio, the Cafe and amphitheatre is designed and coordinated within the same axis of the bandstand which is revitalized as performance space.

01. BACKGROUND

02. CONTEXT

03. Masterplan

04. DESIGN SCHEME

The Proposal is to design a new Student centre in the STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering & Maths) University within the expanded masterplan to boost social mobility and flow.

Located 20 miles from Norwich Norfolk costal borough of Great Yarmouth has a population of 97,277 and 42079 households (National Statics, 2011). Great Yarmouth or Yarmouth largest urban agglomeration in the borough is where 65% of its population live.

The design of the masterplan is derived by extending the existing axis of the urban axis of high street as well as existing road axes of the town coupled by superimposition of circle as new geometry as protection of the whole masterplan.

All of Yarmouth coastline as well as the marshland on the west of the town are floodable. The whole aim of the unit is to explore on the relationship of water and architecture.

The main issue of rising sea water level is one of the main challenges that needed to be overcome in the proposal.

As secondary road axes is added, the result is a new directional axis from the new residential zone towards the new centre of the masterplan which is the circle.

The surrounding buildings and programs in the masterplan inform the genesis of the architecture of the student centre. The overall shape retain the geometry of circular paths as well as the directional axis. The architecture is highly contextual within the invented context of the masterplan.

The proposal will focus on creating Knowledge Based economy in the context of Great Yarmouth.

Great yarmouth would expect a growing population. Its economy is highly driven by energy and services sector and 75% jobs created are service based. However, based on the observations, the main site is considered as the most deprived area despite it being the main tourist destination. Only 19.5 % of the population possessed ‘high end’ skill qualification in comparison to 38% nationally.

The energy sector in Great Yarmouth is a great opportunity of particular importance are the STEM subjects. in the report, it is mentioned that Initiatives are underway but they are not in tertiary level or too faraway from the site.

By Improving the educational infrastructures it will create the potential for the industry to grow as it helps to benefit the Locals to be more highly qualified. It will also helps in bringing new people into the area which also will help to boost the retails & services sectors of the existing community.

The exact site is Located right above the Brittania Pier. It snatched on the urban axis of the High street with retails and commercials land uses. It aims to target public flow from both the High street and residents of the area.

The residential is located next to the existing residential area which consist of mixed density of 1,2,3 bedrooms units. These residential blocks are mean to be flexible, it can be added and manipulaed depending on the changing site condition or demand for increase in population.

The whole masterplan has flood wall on the outer periphery of the masterplan. These floodwall protect the stationary buildings such as the museums, library, research centres, and the school.

The main concept of this building is to retain directional flow within the interior as to connect various program inside and to the various buildings in the existing masterplan. the proposal also explored the idea of transprogramming by Bernard Tschumi by superimposing a new program of conservatory to satisfy the public as it acts as educational and recreational facilities, as well as for the student as to create a better learning environment.

The building house programs such as conservatories, Event space, Seminar rooms, multimedia lab, informal study lounges, pub, cafe, auditorium, admin office, student library and student research centre.

Flow inform the structural configuration of the building. The contrast of the transparent blocks as well as the solif blocks represent how each spatial configuration benefit from each other.

01. ABOUT

02. CONTEXT

Housing with care is a project to design 10-15 dwellings with appropriate shared and ommunal facilities. The client for this project is specifically for the visually impaired. There are two typology of single units and family units. 10 of which are for single/couple occupancy and 5 of it are for the family (3 bedrooms).

The general site location is at the edge of Grangetown and the River Taff south of cardiff, Wales.

To create an understanding of space, the average human being depends on three senses; sight, hearing, and touch. Relying primarily on his sense of sight in order to allow himself to orient and navigate himself through space. The black pyramid illustrates three main senses organized in order of importance in their utilization to experience spaces. Therefor as a visually impaired person is unable to depend on his sense of vision the design straegy will focus on the dependence of other senses.

The white pyramid shows the new organization of the senses where hearing is given priority, then touch and then finall sight.

04. DESIGN AIM The main aim of the project is to create a non-institutional Place of living as well as to achieve a universal design. Most importantly it is very essential to let the users to trust the space. The most important features in the spaces to enable the visually impaired to commute around is to let them know the orientation of spaces. It is also important to incorporate the existing site qualities and physical conditions.

New Extension of Singapore Art Museum Final Thesis Project (BA Level 3 Design Studio, Semester 2, 2013) Duration : 15 weeks Supervising Lecturer : Ang Xin Wei, Jay Loo

01. BACKGROUND

02.CONTEXT

03. DESIGN SCHEME

04.OBJECTIVE

The research topic behind this project is theory of Deconstructivism, Time and Architecture.

“Singapore Art museum focuses on the creation of art in the present moment. It advocates and presents the contemporary art practices of Singapore, Southeast Asia and Asia, situating them within the global context of art making today” (exert from SAM website).

The proposal uses the theory of Deconstructivism to create unexpected design solutions to change public’s perception of the Singapore Art Museum.

The new extension allows a rebirth of SAM to make it relevant to the current context and its contemporary image.

Singapore Faces the challenge of keeping the balance between Conservation and Redevelopment. Both are deemed as important factors in Singapore Architecture. We see a lot of building being preserved, however they lose their relevancy in the current time period.

Conservation should be seen as a way of adapting the changes that take place in Architecture. If the purpose of conservation is for the “preservation of heritage and memory, as well as to make it last for future generation, conservation should not be about bringing the past to the present, but it is to act as a bridge to achieve architecture that withstand contingencies

The idea of contemporary identity seems detached with its building physical identity, because the building in which they occupy is considered the National monument. SAM is stuck with the ‘old’ building as the result of strict URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) measures.

It utilizes the same concept of prism, where old building went trhough a projection process to derive its new form.

Showing that paradoxical approach is used in designing the new extension. Using the old structural elements to break the old, and using the symmetrical axis to break the symmetry, resulting in dynamic, flexible and unexpected spaces, which will bring the public closer to Art and break the conventional perception of how Art museums should be.

It uses projection of lines which symbolizes traces of the old, resulting in the rebirth of the new extension which is visible troughout the whole design.

It allows SAM to break away from its own mold of spaces hierachy, where the new galleries allow for more open and exposed setting. Some programs such as Action Art space, Art Playground and Art lab are designe to be concentrated around the pedestrian parth to bring Art closer to the public. The interior spaces are derived from the diagram of array height which allow dynamic forms to be derived.

2. Projection of lines towards the symmetry point of the main entrance

3. Extension of lines towards the existing parameter of the site (The area chosen based on vehicular circulation and historical importance)

01. ABOUT PLATZ the German Pavilion is a collaborative effort with Carolina Cancerinadewi. It is a part of the ‘Fatamorgana’ exhibition that took place at LASALLE College of the Arts which was a response to our experiences during the study trip to Germany.

02.BACKGROUND PLATZ originates from our desire to create a pavilion that does not belong to any one site and therefor is able to exist in any setting.

The pavilion was therefore named PLATZ which is German for ‘place’.

03.DESIGN SCHEME Tracing German History, PLATZ symbolises both a timeline of historical events as well as an exuberant embodiment of hope.

The pavilion guides users through symbolic spatial gestures that draw references from events, orientations and emotions.

The journey culminates at the circular shaft with the user experiencing a sublime sense of purity and freedom. The perfect circular form contrast with the seemingly chaotic journey representing the notion of infinite possibilities for the future.

VOGUE ACADEMY OF FASHION Studio Project (BA Level 2 Design Studio, Semester 2, 2012) Duration : 15 weeks Supervising Lecturer : Daniel A.Pillay, A. Harimoto

01. PROGRAM BRIEF

02. DESIGN SCHEME

03. CIRCULATION

Singapore is comprised of numerous Shopping malls which groan under many global fashion brands and the local fashion scenes does not stand up among t he locals.

Therefore, to help Singapore achieves its vision to be the next Global Fashion hub, a proposal of an institution specialized in fashion is derived. As cultivating a successful batch of Fashion designers has to start from the roots which is education.

The proposal derives its concept from Vogue identity which represents sophisticated image to its reader. Sophisticated image suggest that there is more than meet the eye, therefore a geode crystal was used as a representation of this sophisticated image.

The smaller block serves a private area for students which comprise of studios, library and student lounges. While the bigger block serves public and semi public areas such as the retail and the auditorium area. The larger block is attached to facade of the Capitol building. The design shows a complex and sophisticated layout while retaining a simple and traditional exterior.

A retail space dedicated to its student will be proposed as well.

It will act as a platform to help the local talents survived among the Global Fashion Giants. The program will affiliate itself with Vogue. It will benefit both the institution and the retail as its established name in fashion industry will provide different perspective in fashion education. It will also help to attract more people.

The retail area on the first floor is housed under a glass faceted crystal atrium with four volumes while the second floor is a double volume space. This is to give importance to the retail area as the retail area is the first impression of the whole proposal itself. it houses the design and the students’ hard work. Circulation between spaces will allow the visitor to go through different kind of spaces. The use f glass beside representing the facets of the crystal, it also to provide constant interaction between the student and public

The White Rabbit At Robertson Quay

Studio Project (BA Level 2 Design Studio, Semester 1, 2011) Duration : 8 weeks Supervising Lecturer : Daniel A.Pillay, A. Harimoto, Amas S.

01. PROJECT BRIEF

03. THE RABBIT HOLE

05. ELEMENT OF SURPRISE

To design an F & B outlet for “The White Rabbit” which will be located at Robertson Quay. Seventy percents of the space will be allocated for F & B, while thirty percents of the rest will accomodate a secondary retail function.

The Rabbit Hole is the main communal area which serves as a bar and is located right at the entrance. Inspired by the novel “Alice in Wonderland”, It represents the starting point of the “Fantasy”.

The Rooftop Garden is an outdoor dining area which resembles a hilly area covered with grass. It signifies fantasy within the building. Just like in Wonderland, where random sceneries emerge unpredictably.

04. DISTORTING PROPORTION 02. CONCEPT Inspired by Lewis Caroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”, The White Rabbit at Robertson Quay focuses on creating an augmentation in the fabrics of reality. Bending the notions of space and time. It is a place where time stands still and one would feel naturally at ease. The beauty of the surroundings cause one to be drawn away from their everyday lives and plunged into a world where amusement lingers forever.

06. RETAIL The main dining spaces on the first and second floor are double volume spaces that are located right against windows which are blown out of proportion, and are also filled with oversized furniture, causing one to feel shrunk down to size and allowing them to look at everyday objects in different perspectives. Whereas the dining area on the third floor consists of small pocket of private spaces similar to those of miniature houses. In opposition of the previous experience, one will feel gigantic instead.

The retail area is on all floor levels. Collectibles such as antiques and vintage items are strategically placed all over the space at random in order to accentuate the overall atmosphere of surreality and whim.

The White Rabbit is an escape from reality. It allows a magical and romantic experience to be enjoyed with the loved ones. Though the concept is surreal, the design is to be kept simple and classic to retain the identity and signature look of the original establishment itself.

The form of the bench is a single continual strip folded to create a piece of furniture that is luxurious and contemporary, with the intention of representing the energetic fast atmosphere.

We depend on each other to live and survive. Just like the cycle of life. This is depicted through the interdependent structure of the table. Each of the table are unable to stand individually. They are able to stand only when they are assembled together, by lending their support and strength to balance themselves. The table are made of eco-friendly materials and product can be flat-packed.

CONTEXTUAL ELEMENT SERIES This series explore and redefine the relationship of existing structural elements with new formation of forms and spatial elements.

How they coexist with each other to result in multiple relationships between architectural elements that shape themselves within the boundaries and limits of the perceived spaces.

This work is about my life, being away from home and my family.

I often grapple with feelings of insecurity and melancholy in a new and foreign place.

There are times when I feel out of place, unable to adapt to my life here.

With this loneliness, I yearn for escape, to be transported somewhere else..

Unable to be who i really am and feeling inferior hence, I find myself hiding behind a mask which has become my form of.
