FARADAY BANK

Most Secure Bank for High Profile Clients

Needs of the Site

The Faraday Bank is a banking space for clients who do large transactionns often. Tanjong Pagar calls for a banking space as most of the other banks are mainly located in the Marina District. The site is also a bustling business district which contains a lot of clients that manage big corporations. Thuus, having a banking space at Tras Link Park would create more accessibility. The large transactions made are vulnerable to cyber attacks. Therefore, the clients have to physically present at the bank to approve the transaction in person. The piece of infrastructure that this project is tackling is the service of Internet provision.

Distrupting the Internet Infrastucture

Studying the strengeth of network signals islandwide, Tajong Pagar has a very strong internet connection as it is in the central business district area. According to research, hackers can intervene the personal information of banks by accessing it through the signals in the air. Thus, the design intention is to build a safe banking space free of cyber attacks. The stragegy used in this project is the Faraday’s Cage concept, where the elecctromagnetic signals cannnot reach the space inside the cage. Instead, they reflect off. As a result, hackers would not be able to intervene the safe transaction points in the proposed bank.

Approaching the Faraday Bank

The zone outside the bank is one of the last few moments before the distruption of Internet will occur, causing the users to detox from the overuse of phones in these day and age. The Bank allows a seamless connection to the pre-existing park by being located at a much higher level.

Approaching the Faraday Bank

On the first storey of the Bank, the entrance to reach to the high profile bank above is hidden away under the raised topography, which disguises itself as a continuation of the park. The park below allows for some connection to the internet so that the bankers can come down to the first storey to order food delivery services if they wish.

Client Meeting/ Service space

The ‘egg’ is the most secure space with absolute disconnection from the public internet services. The layering of the alumminium mesh distrupts all electromagnetic signals from reaching into this space where clients can meet up with the top executives for discussion.

Office Space

The office spaces makes use of the intra-net, the network system which is separate from the public server for for purpose of privacy. The office spaces protect the most secure space in the middle by encompassing it in a bracket-like staggered form.
