Oasis in Reflection

Year: 2024

Type: Academic Project Status: Completed

In a bustling environment, Oasis In Reflection serves as an oasis of tranquillity amidst the chaos, offering a sanctuary for visitors to pause, reflect, and recharge.

Meandering pathways guide visitors through pockets of tranquility, where the ambiance is adorned not only by the sounds of nature but also echoes of history.

Emerging into an open clearing within, visitors are greeted by a still water body, reflecting the surrounding landscape like a mirror. This reflective surface not only captures the beauty of the natural elements but also symbolizes a mission to mirror and preserve historical narratives.

Numerous seating areas within the museum buildings provide ample opportunities for visitors to sit, ponder, and absorb the historical richness surrounding them. Whether seeking a quiet moment of reflection amidst nature or a deep dive into the historical tapestry, this place offers a versatile sanctuary where individuals can escape the chaos and find solace in the combined beauty of nature and history.

Concept

The proposed solution introduces an innovative concept of using a different form of nature to inspire and embrace the nature of the site. By using more water instead of the usual greens like trees, the project aims to create a change in experience as well as a change in methods of addressing the climate issues.

Change in Atmosphere: From bustling city to a stress-free, reflective environment. Evokes change, something different from the usual.

Vast Openness: Change one form of nature to another. From the narrow view between tree trunks to large open bodies of water.

Perservation: Perserving the history and culture of the site. Reflect the nature and history tapestry.

Reflection

Entrance

The journey begins before the visitors enter the main building, where they are within a lush landscape of native plants and trees. The building is hidden within the trees, blended in with the surrounding.

Central Courtyard

The main courtyard space. The water surface reflects the surrounding landscape like a mirror, capturing the beauty of nature and the buildings. Here, the hustle and bustle of the urban environment fades away, replaced by soothing sounds of water and rustling of leaves.

Year: 2023

Type: Academic Project

Status: Completed

In the past, people were able to interact with each other freely without any restrictions like the ones stated before. Thus leading to my concept of clustering.

Key Issue:

Shift in Human Behaviour

Current Housing Design promotes Individualism

Challenges:

Amplified loneliness & Social Isolation

Less Interaction with Community

Opportunities:

Increased Interaction between neighbours of different levels, blocks and side by side

Wang Yupeng 16

Concept

1564 create clustering between units, between blocks and between the levels.

Units: connected through the gathering spaces as part of the extended corridor spaces.

Levels: connected through the double volume corridor spaces which connects the upper and lower level residents together.

Blocks: connected through traditional ground floor facilities brought to the upper levels.

1564 also introduced co activity spaces within the levels and the podium

Shops made of Containers

Over the course of rising sea levels, the roads will slowly become flooded, allowing residents to transition from the current standard of living with cars and carparks into a car-lite area. The main mode of transport will become walking with the option of cycling along designated paths along the intersecting bridges and rings connecting the mix use buildngs to one another.

For a more scenic option, boats also have the option to travel along the river throughout the entire site, along the commercial stretch, where repurposed shipping containers act as shops. Boats enter through the site from the rings at the seafront, which act as coastal protection as well as a promenade, segregating zones for the water to create recreational spaces.

Sea Pods & Ring

Instead of sea walls, large ringed promenades extending over the coastline acts as a layer of coastal defense creating calm waters inside the ring forthe public to use.

T^3

Year: 2023

Type: Academic Project

Status: Completed

T^3 aims to create an immersive and contemplative space where visitors can engage with history, culture, and stories while experiencing a sense of tranquility and reflection. The design concept revolves around the interconnected themes of “trailing”, “tranquilizing”, and “telling”, offering visitors a unique and transfornative journey.

Trailing: T^3 creates a winding, captivating pathway that guides visitors through a journey of discovery. The trail is connected to the rail corridor making it more inclusive.

Tranquilizing: By using serene natural landscapes, the design induces a sense of calm, offering visitors an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustle of the world.

Telling: Exhibits and installation focuses on providing visitors with interactive and immersive experiences, empowering them to truely relive history.

T^3 merges the concepts of “trailing,” “tranquilizing,” and “telling” to create a holistic and transformative experience for visitors. It encourages them to explore, reflect, and connect with narratives in a serene and contemplative setting. The museum becomes a place where stories come alive, and visitors embark on a journey of self-discovery and enrichment.

The pacing of the journey is deliberately slowed down, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the narratives and surroundings. The tranquilizing spaces strategically placed throughout the museum offer opportunities for visitors to pause, reflect, and absorb the stories they’ve encountered.

Entrance

The start of the trailing experience. The entrance includes an information centre building for visitors to gain information of the museum. Vegetation is used to block the view to the other buildings

Museum

Continuing the trail leads to the first museum block. The trail itself is curved and is a winding path which decreases the chances of face to face meetings between visitors.

Museum 2

Further down the trail leads to the second, the more interactive and hands-on museum. The greenery and winding path creates a more natural feeling for the building.

Connecting Bridges

The bridges connect every building on the site together. The bridges sits on the second storey allowing the people to sit and walk closer to the greenery. It allows the visitors to have a nicer visual experience across the site.
