curriculum vitae Through my training in Art, Music and Architecture, I have developed a passion for bringing value to the society through innovation in the built environment.

As such, I take special interest in understanding how a society’s education system, culture and economics are invariably tied to the specific architectural design and planning of its every building. I constantly seek creative solutions to how this relationship can be effectively utilized.

SP ORTS

PARK

Mount Faber is the final destination of Southern ridges, a popular Singaporean hiking route, making it a site of growing potential for tourists, explorers and sports enthusiasts.

Yet, the allure of the site, which lies on its beautiful natural greenery, is a gated scenery that can only be seen but not experienced.

Riding on these ideas, a systematic framework is proposed to colonize these green spaces. The modular wooden construction system is used to inspire the continuous organic growth of the sports program.

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM Using a modular joint system adapted from the mortise and tenon joint using in the malay vernancular roof, an 60 degree angled grid is created. This grid allows for construction of surfaces angled along 5 different planes.

The system is designed with the vision of creating a constantly growing sports complex, where structure can be continually added to create new spaces where appropriate.

The multi-faceted system also can anchor to the changing slope conditions of Mount Faber.

The hydro-electric infrastructural network in Madi river is an exploration of system based landscape design as a driver for urban development.

Applying this idealogy to the unique geographical and economical conditions of Nepal, the project envisions the urban possibilities through the use of a parametric master-planning framework that integrates landscaping techniques with infrastructural systems to create a self-sustaining urban network within the rural regions of the Madi River region.

EXISTING URBAN CONNECTIONS

Madi river runs alongside Seti river. It runs from head waters in the North to the South, with many tributary rivers joining to each river. The two rivers join at the southern end of the site to form the Seti Gandaki river.

The largest city in the site is Pokhara (North-west).

The Seti River runs through it. Pokhara is connected by the Prithvi highway to Kathmandu.

The river is straddled by high mountains on both sides, creating a continuous valley condition.

The existing rural settlements are scattered around the Seti and Madi river, disconnected from the highways.

left : Meshing of urban & infrastructure right : grid construction

The main strategy for addressing all three problems at once was the redirection of water. The redirection allows for the introduction of hydro-electric and filtration infrastructure.

At the same time, an urban masterplan grid (the mesh) is designed using the flowing pattern of the river braids. This allows for the organization of new passive urban spaces that support existing rural communities as well as bridging the tourists and communities from Pokhara.

It grows fast in most conditions.

Nepalese Broom Grass is highly effective in preventing soil erosion. It is also a significant source of income as brooms and woven materials.

FESTUCA RUBRA (red fescue) achieves phytostabilization of mercury.

Lack of community Lack of involvement Architectural visibility NTUC fairprice position

MARINE PARADE

The research of recycling culminates in 3 observed problems. First, a worrying invisible waste management infrastructure creates too much emphasis on convenience of waste management for the public.

Given these problems, it is observed that the existing NTUC fairprice network of 138 stores are distributed evenly in extremely public locations of most precincts in Singapore.

This is invariably tied to the other side of the problem, which is a lack of community involvement.

Being hubs of plastic and food waste, and being a necessary amenity that draws crowds from all ages, it can be re-imagined to act as the centre for waste exchange.

The third reason is a lack of architectural visibility due to the urban plan that exiles waste management facilities to the periphery of the country.

The existing Buona Vista Site has an abundance of natural greenery as well as the green corridor. These elements serve as a visual buffer from commercial buildings across the road, as well as natural screens and shades.

Using the natural architectural properties of the greenery as inspiration, this project conceptualizes the unit as a modular block that geometrically stacks around the trees, creating interlocking courtyards amongst an agglomeration of interior and exterior living spaces.

This project combines design and fabrication spaces, as well as dynamic and static exhibition areas. The concept is to express the unity of these programs by using a single continuous wall to describe every space, eventually twisting to form the multifaceted roof.

Each wall is angled to guide specific view vistas from the peripheral spaces into the central space. This is emphasized in the dynamic exhibition where the slanted walls provide the dual purpose of a warping corridor space, as well as direct views down into the assembly space.

DEVELOPING COMPOSITE WOOD FOR 3D-PRINTING Time Term 7 Digital design and fabriation Credits Stylianos Dritsas(Ins) Rachel Tan (Team) Tee Yong Kiat (Team) Kendall Koh (Team)

Existing 3D printing material, though cheaply available, comprises mostly of non-biodegradable components. The objective of this study is to develop a wood-resin composite material to be extruded via 3D-printing. We examine the possibility of using wood sawdust, to create a scalable, structurally stable and sustainable artefact using modified 3D-printing extrusion technology.

Location HDB, Singapore

sunny is an integrated solar energy harvesting and rainwater collection facade system designed to enable sustainable, high-density living.

The sunny was a cross-disciplinary design project in collaboration with industry partner Weijenberg that spanned over two terms. Our research found that there was an increasing need for alternative sources of energy for the average singaporean, while at the same time, the HDB facade was an ubiquitous yet under-utilized resource.

WHY sunny?

SEAMLESS INTEGR ATION

UTILITY SAVINGS

CLEAN ENERGY

Designed to work with existing furniture layouts, the non-intrusive interface is housed in a sleek module installed right under your window. It provides electrical outlets and soft lighting options powered 24/7 by the solar energy generation and storage system within.

S AV E

PER MONTH

PER BLOCK

FOR YOUR USE

sunny generates up to $24 worth of electrical power and water collected per month. This means that it will take 7.2 years for the system to pay for itself - comparable to most commercial rooftop solar photovoltaic array systems.

By harvesting renewable energy and resources, sunny maximizes solar gains and saves 370 MWh of fuel energy per residential block.

That’s 420 tons of C02 prevented from entering the atmosphere, or 127 cars taken off the road.

sunny is an off-grid energy system, meaning1 that you get to make use of the power your home system 2 generates, any time of the day. It 1 can even be a backup power source for your 2home, as long as the sun is shining!

The orientation of the sunny module is optimized through the use of environmental simulation software.

This ensures that users obtain the maximum possible free energy from the sun.

By combining electrical and mechanical engineering with aesthetic design, the research and experimentation culminated in a retrofit product design that was patented by the Weijenberg office in Singapore.

Energy savings is achieved by allowing harvested rainwater to be directly used in user interface homes for cleaning, battery planting or toilet bypassing water pump flushing, the energy-intensive solar panel cycle of water treatment. structure

Hello there, why that frown?

You shouldn’t be feeling down.

It’s time to get to a better place, so lets put a smile on that face.

This painting is a 2 x 2m x 1m acrylic painting, of a man trying his best to pull his face apart into what he thinks is a convincing smile.

His struggle is what I see as a physical metaphor of a society of facades, as well a cathartic exploration of my struggle to fit in as a teenager.
