PERSONAL STATEMENT
As a final-year BA (Hons) Architecture student, I am now looking for a career in the field of architecture to make use of my undergraduate knowledge and skills. As a child growing up in a multiracial country, Malaysia and now studying abroad in the UK, I have experience with a variety of cultures.
I’m willing to pick up new skills and study more about every facet of this interdisciplinary field before advancing to further practice that will enable me to identify my areas of interest in the architectural field more.

CHATHAM INTRA: SUSTAIN + REVITALISE
STAGE 3 AUTUMN TERM SUSTAINABLE URBAN INTERVENTION
This project has a collaboration between University of Kent’s students and Medway Council which aims to improve Chatham’s declining high street.
This project’s site is located at Chatham, Medway, Kent. The “Chatham Intra” runs along a high roadway that connects the city centers of Chatham and Rochester and is located on the Medway riverbank. This street, which was formerly lined with a number of fine historic buildings, has lost most of its frontage due to the construction of massive, new buildings and obsolete industrial structures that divide it from the riverbank.
This proposal will revitalise the neighborhood’s deteriorating high street and reunite it with the river, Chatham, Rochester and also create a more sustainable town. Part of the high street and riverfront will be pedestrianised and several building will be added, including an urban room, public squares, a mixed-use building, a residential building and a restaurant.

STAGE 3 SPRING TERM ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
This project also has a collaboration between University of Kent’s students and Medway Council which aims to improve Chatham’s declining high street.
This project’s site is located at Chatham, Medway, Kent. Medway is one of the worst-performing local authorities in the South-East, experiencing unsatisfactory health coondition and economic growth at a significantly slower pace than both its surrounding authorities and the wider region. Therefore, this project aims to improve the health condition and also the economic growth in Chatham.
Furthermore, this project has made some improvements from the previous project, Sustainable Urban Intervention, as both of these projects are related and this project is mainly focusing on repairing the high street frontages by adding a new building in the gap where the previous project’s car park is and extensions and a vertical garden will be added to the west facade of the existing Anchorage House.
