Profile: I am a graduate of Nanyang Polytechnic, with a Diploma in Architecture.

I’m interested in designing structures and interior spaces to make them aesthetically pleasing for different people to live comfortably. When given an interior space, I enjoy “playing” with it by placing and shifting different elements around to discover which position is best suited for different uses. Apart from designing a space to look nicer, I strongly believe that the users’ experiences need to be considered thoroughly as well. By designing a space that meets users’ needs, it will give them a unique experience and have a good impression when using.

From my course, I have picked up different technical and soft skills such as presentation, critical thinking, and use of various software through the projects I have done. Using Rhinoceros and other software, I can express my ideas and creativity by manipulating elements around the given space and design structures that are user-friendly and aesthetically goodlooking.

Outside academic life, I stay active in other activities. I was an EXCO member of the School of Design (SDN) Club CCA. I was part of the ‘Halloween Fright Night’ and ‘Camp Adventum’ organising teams, in which we planned and conducted the events. These activities help me be more resourceful and be a better team player and leader.

Year 3: EBBC EMERGENCY SHELTER: This industrial group project is to design an emergency shelter made of Eco-Composite material, to provide temporary homes for people who lost their houses in the event of a tsunami. Spurred by the advantageous hexagonal frame, my groupmates and I designed and developed the Hexa-Pod, an easy-to-assemble and modular shelter for the villagers living at Pantai Lam Awee Peukan Bada, a tsunami-prone area of Aceh, Indonesia. The shelter can be tessellated, allowing it to be adapted for various functions, such as housing, agriculture, water collection, and medical facilities.

• -

Year 2: TRAVELS IN PARALLEL REALITY: Singapore University of Social Sciences sports hall sits on the land which once used to be a chicken farm. Through the study of its timeline from the past to the present, I designed a university that rears and trains chickens to do sports such as basketball and soccer.

-

THE GENIUS OF NATURE: Recent news reported that Pulau Ubin’s tap water is unsafe for direct consumption. Through biomimicry of a desert plant known as Welwitschia Mirabilis, I designed an architecture to help a group of villagers living at the Pulau Ubin Fruit Orchard collect water from the fog for drinking, to grow crops for consumption, and provide them a delightful habitat to live in.

• -

Year 1: THE VILLAGERS & THEIR DWELLING OF MAGIC: The project was for us to analyse an interesting “villager” in Little India so that we can design an architecture for him/her to allow them to carry out their daily routines more efficiently and to live in it as well. Observing a restaurant waiter who comes out at designated timings to attract passersby using his handclaps and encourage them to dine in, I designed a dwelling such that the sounds of his voice and handclaps can be projected further to attract even more passersby from a further distance, and for him to live in.

Aqua AgriKampungs

Time Odyssey in a City of Lost Memories

October 2020 - February 2021 Year 3 Semester 2, Studio Project

The evolution of kampungs to high-rise housing in Singapore has resulted in limited space for farming enthusiasts to grow vegetables. With the fast-paced life experienced in the modern world, the “kampung spirit” among people is slowly dying out from society. As reported in the news, the Singapore Food Agency has targeted to produce 30% of Singapore’s nutritional needs by 2030 to improve food security. To meet such demands, the Aqua AgriKampungs was designed.

Kallang River has progressed through the years, from dirty polluted waters, to river-cleaning activities, to cleaner water bodies where water sports and illegal fishing are held. The overall design of the Aqua AgriKampungs is inspired by the daily routine timeline of Potong Pasir farmers in the past. Its program incorporates the different activities found throughout the years at Kallang River. The architecture operates in three different parts – residential, farming, and communal facilities. It is built on water to cope with limited land space and receive a direct source of water for farming.

PRODUCED BY AN AUTO

Triangular-shaped modular homes are inspired by the roofs of kampung houses, follow the configurations of HDB units. The direction in which different crops are farmed follows according to the amount of sunlight required. The “Full Sun” farm is a stationary south-facing farm joined to the main architecture.

The East and West-facing “Full Shade” and “Partial Sun” Mobile Farms grow vegetables and travel out to sell them where markets are not easily available while cleaning the river along the way. Waste materials collected will be recycled to make composts for farming. The Communal Hub brings people together, providing facilities such as a fishing pond, farmers’ market, cafeterias, farming education classrooms & a worshiping area.

FARMING RESEARCH Research Questions: - How much natural space for farming has been taken away as a result of the increase in construction of man-made structures?

- How has the “kampung spirit” disappeared since the removal of villages for the construction of high-rise housings?

- What type of food from different dialect groups are prepared using vegetables?

- How have the methods of growing vegetables/crops changed since the past as a result of the construction of high-rise buildings?

- What are some daily rituals practiced by farmers in the past?

1. Traditional Farming elements: Watering

- Traditional farmers carry a pair of watering cans attached to a pole on their shoulders - Walk along rows of crops to water them.

Harvesting

Light

Traditional farmers kneel / bend down to harvest crops.

Crops receive sunlight from all directions in an open field.

2. Indoor Vertical Farming elements: Watering

People will usually water their plants starting with those closer to their door steps.

5. Community Garden Farming elements: Harvesting

Watering

Light

People will usually water their plants using a watering can in a swaying motion while walking along rows of planter boxes.

Similar to traditional farming in an open field, crops receive sunlight from all directions.

Taking inspiration from the former Potong Pasir farm, I mapped out the different types of crops grown there according to the amount of sunlight they require across a daily 12-hour period (sunrise to sunset).

Full Sun: Plants receive direct sunlight for >6 hours per day between 10am-6pm.

Partial Sun: Plants receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight but are shaded for the rest of the day. They should be protected from the sun during the afternoon except in the morning to early afternoon (7am-2pm).

Full Sun: Plants receive 2-4 hours of sun each day, preferably in the morning (7am-11am).

TRADITIONAL FARMERS’ DAILY TIMELINE If there are leftover ingredients from lunch, it will be re-cooked for dinner.

Water crops, remove unwanted wild grass, loosen soil to plant seeds, harvest crops.

Tapioca, Sweet potatoes, Plain porridge

Wash harvested vegetables, cut vegetables’ roots, tie vegetables into bundles to be sold at the market.

In order to save water, farmers use a pail & bucket to shower instead of using a hose.

Farmers use their vegetables & chickens as their source of food.

RECYCLING LEAVES INTO COMPOST

1. Fallen leaves collected

3. Dried leaves shredded and used as compost for crops

2. Leaves being dried

HDB HOUSING RESEARCH Trends of HDB housing over the years: - Flats becoming taller to minimise land space usage.

- Units becoming smaller due to decreased popularity of public housing.

- Options for units with more rooms.

- More facilities built around the compounds to increase social interaction.

- Distinctive features incorporated in flats through their architecture designs & colour schemes to give different identities to various towns.

- Shape of buildings becoming more modernised.

SITES EXPLORATION Empty field at Toa Payoh

When the project commenced, I went to a few places to explore possible locations where I could design my architecture, as well as to pick out different activities / elements that can be part of my programme. I documented my exploration of these locations on site maps.

Location 1: Toa Payoh / Potong Pasir

To understand more about the different types of farming, I made a trip down to City Sprouts at Henderson Road. Over there, I learnt about different types of farming systems, types of equipment used, soil depth, etc. This gave me a better knowledge of how to incorporate farming into my architecture.

Location 3: City Sprouts, Henderson Road Rainwater collection pond

Slanted HDB blocks at Potong Pasir

My exploration started off at Toa Payoh / Potong Pasir, where the former Potong Pasir farm was located. To further explore, I walked along the Kallang River which led me to Kallang. From there, I discovered several interesting activities such as pedal boating, dragon boating, river cleaning, and illegal fishing.

Vertical hydroponics

River clean-up boats

I decided to settle my site at Tanjong Rhu Promenade near Kallang, due to its prominent location near residential buildings to engage more people to visit, as well as the number of activities found there.

PASSIVE DESIGN Water: - The architecture collects its rainwater using the Diagrid Shelter & Planter Boxes for the herbs walls, farming, and household uses.

- River water gets filtered to remove waste materials before entering the fishing pond, then flows to the ‘Full Sun’ farm with the nutrients-filled water. The water gets filtered again by gravel filters to remove fertilising chemicals before being released back into the river.

DESK STUDENT VERSION

Ventilation: The double volume height of individual modules allows better cross-ventilation to take place to cool down the interior.

Sunlight: - Individual modules have bigger windows to allow more natural sunlight to enter the interior.

- The architecture generates its electricity by absorbing sunlight using solar panels.

HUMAN CIRCULATION Farmers: - The architecture’s overall shape was designed to follow the daily routine of farmers in the past.

- Walk from homes to the worshiping area to pray every morning, then to the farms to work.

Public: - Upon entering the architecture, they will head to the market to purchase vegetables, then to the herbs walls to pluck herbs for their dishes, and lastly to the restaurants to have their dishes cooked.

Welwitschia Aqua Seeker Plantation The Genius of Nature

April 2019 - August 2019 Year 2 Semester 1, Studio Project

Recent news reported that Pulau Ubin’s tap water is unsafe for direct consumption. The National Environmental Agency (NEA) issued an advisory on this requirement, after finding that the quality of water from the island’s wells - used by food sellers - has deteriorated. This could be due to contamination by animal or human waste, or by surface runoff from contaminated soil, the authorities said.

Living spaces / Fog condenser (Leaves)

Also recently, a tanker lorry believed to be from an illegal tyre recycling factory dumped 20 to 40 tonnes of chemical waste into Sungai Kim Kim. This escalated into a wave of chemical poisoning cases, with more than 2,700 people taken ill. Though it is said that seawater quality around Pulau Ubin may still be within safe levels, if the quality deteriorates in the future, it might also be unsafe for human consumption, causing a lack of water source for people living in Pulau Ubin.

A small crops plantation village is located at Pulau Ubin Fruit Orchard heavily relies on water to grow crops and for their daily consumption.

As a result of recent incidents, villagers are unable to use tap water or seawater. Hence, an architecture called the ‘Welwitschia Aqua Seeker Plantation’ was constructed for them to collect water from the air, dew from the trees and rainwater, to carry out crops plantation and to provide them a place to live in.

GREENERY OUTLOOK TOILET

GREENERY OUTLOOK TOILET

Function: An outdoor spa & swimming pool for villagers to relax and calm themselves at night after a long day of farming.

Experience: During the night, villagers can enter the domes where they will be surrounded by mist to give them the sensation of being in the clouds. Adding on to the experience, the domes will be lit with dim blue lights at night to give the users a feeling of calmness and serenity.

It faces away from the main road to give users a sense of privacy and to face nature, away from the fast-paced human life.

Experience: Inspired by some modern-day toilets which face nature.

While using the toilet, villagers will be able to face nature to feel a sense of serenity.

GREENERY OUTLOOK TOILET LEVEL 1 FLOORPLAN

Function: A place for users to have social interaction in small groups while connecting with nature by watching other villagers grow crops around them.

Experience: A human-and-nature environment whereby villagers can have social interactions with others while watching other villagers farm around them. This creates a peaceful setting, which helps them to reduce stress from their daily lives.

DINE-IN SANCTUARY

CROPS GARDEN & CENTRAL COLLECTION BOWL

Function: A dining room and kitchen for villagers to come together to have meals.

Function: Plantation zones where villagers can grow wide varieties of crops as a source of food. Being an architecture that is used for villagers to grow crops for survival, plantation zones are located at different levels to let villagers access and farm easily. The central collection bowl is used to collect condensed water on the cooler tubes, rainwater, and dew from the surrounding trees for the villagers’ usage and consumption.

Experience: As the dining room faces nature with natural surroundings, while the villagers have meals together, it helps them to reduce stress levels and improve concentration needed to carry out farming. Having meals in a natural setting also lets villagers understand and appreciate the food that they have on their tables that comes from the nature around them.

LEVEL 2 FLOORPLAN

ZEN CANOPY Function: A canopy for villagers to meditate & relax Experience: Being made of natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and rice straw, makes users feel engulfed in a natural dimension to make them feel relaxed as they meditate. Orientated to face the trees and away from the main road, gives users a sense of peacefulness. As rainwater flows down the roof, it will look like a waterfall, which will look visually relaxing to the villagers in the canopy. Being surrounded by water falling, the sound produced will be relaxing and satisfying. When the water flows into the central collection bowl, its flowing motion will make the people in the canopy feel calm & “hypnotised”.

Projected Madura’s Restaurant

The Villagers & Their Dwelling of Magic

October 2018 - February 2019 Year 1 Semester 2, Studio Project

Little India is an ethnic district in Singapore. With many different shops located around that area, there is high competition amongst shop owners to attract passersby to patronise their stalls. This project is focused on an Indian food restaurant called ‘Madura’s Restaurant” which sells a wide variety of Northern and Southern Indian cuisines. From time to time, there will be two ushers standing outside, attempting to draw passersby attention using their handclaps & introducing the variety of food that is being sold. Even so, they were only able to attract very few customers, resulting in a lack of business.

To improve the restaurant’s business, an architecture was created to help project the two ushers’ voices & handclaps, and the fragrance of the restaurant’s food to a further range out of the building, which helps to attract more passersby from a further distance to patronise. When passersby enter the restaurant, they will be dining in an eatery with a unique experience. Due to the two ushers’ ability to attract passersby, they are known as the “Living & Breathing Signboards” of the restaurant. The concept of the architecture is ‘The Rhythmic Claps & Booming Voices of the “Living & Breathing Signboards”, fragrant aroma, and hungry diners that lure passersby into a new dimension.’

The Villagers & Their Dwelling of Magic

60

Upon the commencement of the project, we were given one full day to explore Little India.

We had to identify and study 3 different locations of interest based on the way of life of people.

I documented my day’s exploration of these locations using collages.

Location 1: Outside Mustafa Centre

Location 2: Pasar Malam along Serangoon Road

Location 3: An empty field outside Usman Restaurant

The Villagers & Their Dwelling of Magic

61

After much considerations, I’ve decided to explore deeper into Location 1. Eventually, I came across Madura’s Restaurant, an Indian eatery located along Syed Alwi Road and wanted to study more about it and the people working there.

Chosen Location: Madura’s Restauant

What is interesting is that there will be two waiters who will take turns to stand outside the restaurant.

Using their handclaps and ability to talk to passersby by introducing the various food that the eatery sells, they will attempt to attract passersby to patronise.

Butterfly Roof Research Cabin Scientists Research Cabin

January 2019 - February 2019 Year 1 Semester 2, Building Systems

This project requires us to design a research cabin for two scientists who are on research duty at Pulau Ubin. They are required to stay on the island for an entire week, traveling around via land and sea to conduct their investigation and collect research samples. After the week has ended, another pair of scientists will take over them for the coming week. Basic amenities will be provided in the cabin, such as a bed, toilet, food and water storage, and electricity.

The research cabin is a cargo container, built with different amenities inside for people to live comfortably in it. I designed it with a butterfly roof inspired by the Butterfly Roof House in Chau Doc. Due to its wind-resistant and aerodynamic shape, the roof can resist wind damage from the cabin’s location coastal winds and heavy storms. The cabin’s design is also inspired by the Malay House built on stilts, in which it’s elevated feature promotes airflow and to allow storage space for the kayak below the cabin.

The cabin generates its own electricity using solar panels to allow the scientists to use the appliances. An elevated water storage tank is built outside the cabin to store scientists’ daily water supply for the entire week.

7.15PM Shower

Chickens that are not as intelligent will be picked out to be slaughtered for food & sold by the restaurant.

In order to save water, the farmers use a pail & bucket to shower instead of using a hose.

9pm Bed Time

Chickens’ heads are being ran through water bath with electric currents to stun them.

Birds placed into ventilated transport cages in trucks and transported to slaughterhouse.

Birds arrive at slaughterhouse and transferred to continuously moving shackles and suspended.

Birds are slaughtered by hand or a mechanical rotary knife that cuts the veins and arteries at the neck.

Chickens’ are placed in a controlled atmosphere stunning system, which uses a combination of carbon dioxide and oxygen to render them senseless.

CHICKEN SLAUGHTERING PROCESS

Birds go through scalding tanks containing hot water that softens the skin so that the feathers can be removed easily.

Carcasses are washed and then chilled below 4°C using water chilling (top) or air chilling (bottom).

The heads of the birds go into a channel where they are pulled off mechanically the legs of the birds are removed with a rotary.

Internal organs are removed manually.

The carcasses go through the feather-picking machines, which are equipped with rubber “fingers” to beat off the feathers.

The blood and feathers accumulated during these early steps are collected and rendered to make organic fertilisers and soil amendment.

The centre will host collaborative activities for various stakeholders in the healthcare industry such as hospitals, community care facilities, hospitals, as well as biomedical and healthcare companies, and government agencies. Acting as a project, collaboration, and discussion space, it is also a facility to showcase existing R&D and industry projects.

This HTIC concept proposal has taken inspiration from greenery and nature. This centre is designed in a way such that it incorporates nature into spaces through the use of green walls, greenery trails, and the growth of potted plants around the centre. Keeping all spaces open and undivided, it creates a spacious atmosphere and allows free movement between spaces. Different parts of the HTIC are arranged such that it has a logical flow of spaces, following a patient’s journey to recovery, starting from the Reception, to the Smart Ward, to the FMET Cluster, and lastly to the Smart Home.

EBBC Emergency Shelter

The Hexa-Pod is an emergency shelter that is designed to provide temporary homes for people who lost their houses in an event of a tsunami.

In the tsunami-prone area of Aceh, Indonesia, there are villages near the shore at Pantai Lam Awee Peukan Bada. Habitants who live there are mainly fishermen whose livelihood depends on their catch from the sea, together with their families. During an event of a tsunami, these villagers will live in the Hexa-Pod shelters temporarily.

Taking the amount of space on-site and the number of users into account, this shelter was inspired by the hexagon shape. Being one of the strongest shapes in nature, each module does not require too many additional support structures during its installation process. The Hexa-Pod can be tessellated, which provides flexibility in terms of modularity. This allows it to be adapted for various functions, such as housing, agriculture, water collection, and medical facilities.

Hexa-Pod Modular Shelter

Components of this emergency shelter are mainly made using Eco-Composite, a sustainable material that is used as a timber substitute. For easy 100 installation, components have interlocking joints, reducing the use of bolts and bolt plates to only the structural elements.

Vertical Agriculture Plantation: - Habitants can grow their own crops as a source of food.

- Vertical pots will face in the East-West direction to enable the crops to receive maximum amount of sunlight.

Water Condenser & Collection Tanks: - Rainwater will flow down the slanted exterior walls of the shelter and into the collection tanks to be stored.

- Rainwater is collected for daily usages such as watering crops, sanitary, and consumption.

Solar Panels: - These panels will absorb solar energy from the Sun during the day to generate electricity for the habitants’ daily usage.

- Excess energy is stored for usage during the night when there is no Sun. - Solar panels will face in the East-West direction to absorb maximum sunlight.
