__

{Diver’s point} is my entry architecture design studio project. This project is mainly derived into 2 stages, (1) study of a particular sea creature and under-standing its unique nature of “Form” and “Behavior” (2) translate these studies as inspiration into “Form” and “Space” of the Diver’s Point.

Flying Fish (Exocoetidae) was chosen as my sea creature case study, it reminisces my childhood memory where flying fish portraits a spirit of adven-turous, freedom and power to me at the moment it transcends through the sea boundary with its ex-tended wings.

The site is located on a small cliff of Redang Island. The design is inspired by the double medium expe-rience of flying fish in both sky and sea, where the building is divided into dry and wet area by following the contour of the cliff.

The space of building is very much form-oriented in mimicking the movement of fish to create path-ways that are projected to different view point of the sea and by taking the intermediate negative spaces of the path way created to form positive functional pocket spaces for the programme.

On the other hand, the form of the Diver’s Point is inspired by the fluidity of skin of the fish to express an understanding and closer sense to nature.

__

{Superbike Tourism Launch Pad} is based on the idea of “escapism” and “freedom” which is desired by most modern man in their life. The idea com-bines “Speed” and “Spirit” of Superbiker promoting an escape of life in tourism Malaysia.

The site is located 5 minutes walking distant from Kuala Lumpur “golden triangle” main city shopping and food tourism district. Superbike Tourism Launch Pad provides temporary hospitality stay and intro-ductory tourist guide for a limited number of tourists each day in the heart of KL. In so, tourists are able to meet tourmates and rent bike to start a superbike journey across the inter-nation city, suburb and is-land.

Being a mixed use (showroom, office and hospitali-ty) building, privacy has always been the first design issues to consider; following by the experience of freedom and bigness of superbike spirit within the building. Hence, privacy of space is manipulated via different curvature (concave/convex) of the building; at the same time expresses a sense of bigness, speed and freedom which reminisces the muscular aerodynamic form of superbike.

On the other hand, public interior space is designed as open (accessible) as possible with exposed ma-chine structure and material to offer visitors a sense of borderless (visual and tactile experience) in ex-ploring the knowledge of superbike tourism through-out the journey in the launch pad.

Project// House Within NatureType// Residential Location// Kuala Selangor Tutor// n/a

__

{Firefly House} is a retreat designed based on an imaginary client - Lang Lang (Chinese: 郎朗; pinyin: Láng Láng; born 14 June 1982), a passionate world class Chinese pianist. Lang Lang is well known on his rich body expression and verve in his perfor-mance which brings every single music notes into life, and transcending each of the audience’s emo-tional mind into his world of music.

Site of retreat is located in the middle of a swampy area of Kuala Selangor. The idea is to embrace the beauty of nature to it fullness by manipulating the degree of day life privacy through a series of rhyth-mic openings in a way that the building is as open as the nature and Lang Lang expressionist personality.

Retreat not only desires to give Lang Lang a place of being solitude from the busy modern life but also give inspirations through the primitive innocent order of nature (sound, movement, weather).

__

{Dennistoun Sustainable Urban Housing} is my first design studio and urban planning project in Glasgow after 3 years of diploma studies in Malaysia.

The site is on a brown field site next to a distinctive abandoned abattoir built in the 90s and surround-ed by building and housing planned from 1970s. It was a whole new exposure of western architecture revolution and its rich history background on social, technology, material and architectonic.

Master plan proposed a mixed use sustainable housing development (consisting of a gallery, multi-purpose hall, bike renting, staked garden/farm, local market and housing) on an artificial contour which create buffer from main road while getting maximum sunlight during winter. On the other hand, housing planning is designed parallel to the existing Glasgow

grid to create a Zen and Harmonic view to the dwell-ers; a main access axis is created based on a dis-tinct historical vista axis to commemorate the histor-ical development. Dwelling spaces are elevated to free public usage of ground level for public gather-ing events, gardening, cow and vegetable farming, etc.

This housing project is designed for 4 types of dwell-ers (1) Family, (2) Couple, (3) Communal [e.g. stu-dents, working travelers, commonwealth athletes], (4) Elderly, in order to create a much diversify and vibrant society, promoting mutual modern self sus-tainable learning/inheritance from different cultures and different generations.

On environment and technology, this project applied both Passive (passive heat gain and ventilation sytem) and active (biomass plant and solar panels with borehole thermal energy storage system) to promote a green and low carbon environment.

005//0111 To Play: Urban Fragment- Clyde Photo memoir Gallery__

{Photo Memoir Gallery} is a design project based on my own enthusiastic subject outside architecture, photography which could record and share mo-ments/memories of life, on a main FnB and public transport district, Union Street in central Glasgow.

Site chosen at last is the end point of Union Street where it meets Glasgow River Clyde. River Clyde was once the focal of Glaswegians everyday life ac-tivity before land and aerial transport starts to take over sea transport. The idea of Photo Memoir Gal-lery is to not only re-embrace to forgotten role of riv-er Clyde being a witness and recorder of Glasgow History for the city and the people, but also trying reengage the process of city developments back to people with participation.

Photo memoir gallery acts as an urban memory fragment, having chamber of (1)Past- telling history, (2) Present- understanding and thinking today, (3) Future- making better,n city provide a platform of understanding and creation of local memories and local processes for the new Glaswegian generation.

006//0911 To Heal: Urban Dream Factory- Teenager Hospice on the Edge of a Park__

{Hospice for Teenager} is one of my most meaningful projects. It is a building design specifically for taking care teenagers with incurable disease; a place that they will spend most time in their last precious mo-ment of life with.

“What would I do for the last moment of my life time?” is a simple yet hard question that comes into my mind when myself being portrait into user’s po-sition during design process. “Dreams are today’s answer to tomorrow questions”, when life getting short, dreams are probably both sorry and motiva-tion for teenagers in life. Everyone has different atti-tude approaching death, the idea of my design pro-posed a journal platform for teenager in searching the meaning of life & making dreams happen while having therapeutic care in the hospice. Ideally, the journey embraces and extends teenagers’ inspira-tional spirit in memory of friends and family beyond his/her expired body.

Site chosen is located at the edge of Glasgow Kelv-ingrove Park next to Park Circus (Victorian) Housing with advantages of easy access and engagements of neighborhood while being in nature. A park is a natural buffer to a city, building is designed in way where architecture gradually immerses and becom-ing into the park’s nature; different hierarchy of pri-vacy for different patient’s personalities using levels, boundary porosity/transparency and spatial transi-tion.

Building consists of (1) Public Receptionist (2) Dream Workshop (3) Of-fices (4) Communal space (6) Middle Courtyard (7) Patient rooms (8) monumental grieve.which divided into 2 construction phases, where public receptionist and workshop are firstly build by contractor as program’s building foundation center. Recruitment of volunteers and engagement of com-munity as part of the builders being second phase of construction kick-starts and catalyzes a sense of lo-cality/belonging of community in the neighborhood.

{Bathhouse in a Park} is a continuation of {Hospice for teenager}, for taking “healing and architecture” to a broader public users.

This project quickly reminds me Glasgow Interna-tional Exhibition 1901 which held in the same park, it was showcasing and embracing the innovation of technologies bloom during that time. 20 years lat-er, today, technology no doubt eases our everyday life, although everything becomes faster and more productive under the name of technology, but it also create a new benchmark/demand for human to speed up our pace and productivity. This grow-ing productions culture dilutes our everyday life. We will eventually immerse ourselves into business and meaningless culture of everyday work. Human once form the city, and city form human at the end. The motive of bathhouse in a park is to remind the forgot-ten primitive way of life we used to have by stripping off most external influences and being nature in this timeless natural space, redeem and recovers one’s soul, body and mind.

The site is located strategically on a sinking contour around a bandstand (1924) that used to be a place of gather and live performance for 75 years before it closed in 1999 due to disrepair. Ideally, bathhouse is used to restore the function of the bandstand as a new public event square and the building serve as a new natural health recreation center for the park and neighborhoods.

The building consists of 2 wings of fitness build-ing and main bath house building on two sides of the public bandstand. It is then divided into 2 main zones, (1) unpay //public zone (2) pay //semi-pub-lic zone to achieve a subtle connection/boundary between the public and the bathhouse via double skin glass facade. On the other hand, site repair and nature preservation are proposed to have a gentle blend between bathhouse and nature. Spaces is de-signed for users to slow down their pace and relax with old roman bath medication process by transit-ing the body by proper light attire following by a reju-venation bath journey from hot to cold into main bath pool with various exploration of bath pocket spaces.

“The city is man’s most successful attempt to remake the world he lives in more after his heart’s desire. But, if the city is the world which man created, it is the world in which he is henceforth condemned to live. Thus, in-directly, and without any clear sense of the nature of his task, in making the city man has remade himself.” – Robert Park

Global communism and liberal vision of glob-al civil society which was once predicted can be achieved by capitalism by Marx marks the end of history right after the cold war. The city had succeeded in growth via capitalism but we cannot measure at what price we had, by occupying space by reducing revolutionary space. Moreover, current fast development desynchronises with human progression (human story, tend to be hidden in our con-sciousness).

Capitalism turns its back on us who created it, being itself the systemic rule/guide for peo-ple to fit in; start subsuming and alienating its part (citizen, and built environment) which constituted it as free individual commodity particles in an existential vacuum.

All these paradoxes hinting capitalism as the end of history is just merely an Illusion, it en-ables the repetition of overpower capitalism’s “Flaneur” to deceive every little practices of our everyday life. In the process, the system has been unconsciously transformed itself from a market economy into a market society. Correspondingly, human are turning them-selves from being into having (consumer), and having into merely appearing (commod-ity).

Nowadays, we are starting to discover these contradictions of capitalism, but there is no room for change under the damaged semi-public (local/shared) sphere of devel-oped world under the enforcement of the System in ownership rule and government regulations.

This thesis focus on reconciliation (de-alien-ation) of the xs (citizen) and the xl (globali-sation and capitalism system) by provoking question and rediscover of oneself as being, rethink the industrial city and the modern man in the box and re-introduce revolutionary space for change.

- Through urban seed strategy and polycentric governance strategy to achieve: 1. Contextualisation (localisation), 2. suffi-cient capacity for each citizen’s participa-tionin neighbourhood.

- Through a typological process of 1.Perceive, 2. Conceive, and 3. Live, to rec-reate, or more precisely, to rediscover a real reality beyond capitalist’s hyperrealism.

________________________________________

Proposal consists of buildings in national scale and local scale:

1. A main national story archive exhibit collective local neighbourhood stories tells the big story of the city, targeting people working in the city away from home and tour-ist.

2. Series of Small local story archives (varies case studies) that tells the small little storiesof the local community and the col-lective citizen of the place while exchange knowledge local knowledge and culture among each other.

Main archive is intended to revealing polemic view between current questionable hyper-re-alistic social practice of rigorous capitalists’ skyline and promoted primitive social prac-tice of modern manual construction on both side of River Thames. On the other hand, local achieves are proposed within every 400m di-ameter neighbourhood to create an participa-tory, walkable and transparent environment. Archives are mainly formed by a Local Progress-based Typology which consists 1. Perceive (reading & thinking space), 2. Con-ceive (Democratise & rewriting space), 3. Live (evaluate & rethinking space) to maintain a evolutionary loop of spatial and biopolitic system transmigration.

The network of archives is an attempt to tie citizen back to their cultural roots through ac-tion and thinking process in the participatory local neighbourhood development and event. It also try to catalyse questioning and redis-covery relation between men and the city, where our body and mind’s self-oriented spa-tial quality are again provoked to regain our sense of being. At last, citizens shall claim a new platform to CO-create an inclusive neighbourhood, hence reworking on the city, local and human story.

The upcoming BCA Productivity Gallery located in the newly-developed GreenMark Platinum building of the BCA campus creates an exemplary framework for the introduction of BCA productivity benchmarks as it sets the precedence for industry stakeholders. The gallery’s productivity ethos is to promote, educate and equip by integrating a new layer of productive horizon to the existing construction industry by creating a pedagogical ground for Construction Productivity knowledge.

Based upon the concept of a building construction system, the main concept of the gallery centres on the assembly and integration of individual parts into a whole. These parts and kits form an integrated idea framework, which translates into anatomical layers of interior architecture and content by manipulating and curating a set of articulated building elements, structures, equipment and multimedia in sequential stages of the building assembly process.

Visitors will experience both an immersive 1st person experience and broad 3rd person overview to complete a sequence of constructions stages that promote, educate and equip them with knowledge of construction productivity systems, technologies and strategies.

In summary, the gallery’s vision is not only to create awareness on construction tools, equipment and technology knowledge integration in the construction industry, but to as well provide an engagement platform with industry professionals to pledge their commitment in making building construction processes more productive through an immersive mindshift in the gallery experience, thus impacting the greater holistic efforts of the industry.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE

A corporate reception area for the gallery experience, the Productivity Lounge is designed as an “open-spaced plan” that caters for the arrival, introduction and easy registration of visitor groups. It extends its use as a multipurpose hosting space where industry engagement activities such as presentations and meetings can be held. Additionally, the location of the BCA Productivity Gallery in a prefab Green Mark Platinum building creates an exemplary framework for productivity briefings as it sets the precedence for industry stakeholders.

“To aid companies in this productivity journey, BCA adopts a customer-centric approach in engaging industry partners and stakeholders to encourage technology adoption, manpower development and capability building by firms.”

At the Productivity Lounge, visitors are issued Near Field Communication (NFC) cards upon registration. NFC scanners located in every zone of the gallery would later allow visitors to scan their NFC cards to store additional exhibit information customised to their interests. In the final zone, visitors “check-out” at the feedback consoles, sending the stored information to their preregistered e-mail addresses, which can be shared with key personnel in their organisations.

Productivity Lounge

The multiuse open-spaced planning of the Productivity Lounge allows for an efficient operational flow of visitor group registration and the hosting of industry engagement activities.

Identity and wayfinding markers mark the linkway between the Productivity Lounge and the main gallery to form an instant directory and an anticipated sense of arrival to the gallery experience.

Themed broadly after phases of the construction value chain, Zone 2 forms the start of the first phase – Planning. In this preconstruction phase, the environment takes on an artistic simulation of a site office, complete with timber flooring and scaffolding structures along the walls.

“Key success for construction productivity begins with the decisions by developers and consultants in their building design.”

At the developer’s site office, visitors discover more about the associated initiatives of the Construction Productivity Roadmap such as the Buildability Framework, Construction Productivity & Capability Fund (CPCF) and the BIM Adoption Roadmap. Through dynamic infographics of various success stories, case studies and overseas study trips, visitors realise how early implementation strategies have proven beneficial for many developers. Interactive and illustrative multiplayer strategy games further promote and engage the visitor in a process of creative and strategic thinking in construction productivity.

“The First Step – Planning for Productivity”

The developer’s office is populated with dynamic wireframe infographics, models and news headings of successful implementations by leading developers and novel building technologies adopted overseas. NFC cards allow visitors to store information on exhibits that are of interest to them.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE

The wire-meshed graphic floor treatment marks the transition from an office setting to the entrance of the construction site. Complemented by attire and equipment storage areas, and biometric technologies for manpower management, the visitor experience evolves from third person into an immersive first-person. Transiting into the Zone 4 construction site, safety signs, scaffolding structures and detailed layers of a building reveal its parts and elements as a visual metaphor of rewinding a built work into a state of building construction process.

“The incorporation of IT and automation technologies such as RFID and the biometric system onsite helps to increase productivity in workforce development and capability building.”

At the site entrance, visitors go through a series of biometric scans to retrieve their safety helmets and vests, and “mark their attendance” before entering the construction site.

Walking up a ramp triggers light boxes containing small constructible systems and tools. Visitors also encounter an illustrative projection of the prefab air-con duct and sprinkler dropper on suspended ceiling panels underneath exposed services, and a system formwork with self-compacting concrete displayed at the back wall. During this transition, visitors are encouraged to tap via NFC cards on their exhibits of interest.

At the peak of the ramp, the visitor would have reached the “50th floor viewing deck” of a mega construction project, coming face-to-face with a double volume constructible system.

“The Transition – Changing Shifts”“The Inception – Entering The Parts & Kits Assembly Process”

The dynamic transition from the site entrance into the construction area transforms the visitor experience – from a passive role into an immersive first person account.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE

The start of “construction” is initiated with visitor arrivals at the 1.2m high mezzanine. Surrounded by scaffolds, an immersive to-scaled environmental projection executed in a time-lapse treatment is mapped onto a double volume lattice structure. The zone concludes with a showcase of actual prefab structure and display of its usage in everyday instances in the relief graphic wall mural of a construction site set against the sunset.

“The availability and use of prefabrication technology in construction can empower companies to become more productive and competitive in the global market, and also play an integral role in the success of national sustainability efforts.”

As visitors stand on the viewing deck, the lights dim, wireframe projections scan the surfaces and the multisensory show begins. In this focal point of the gallery, the visitors are drawn into an immersive simulation of a fast-paced and multisensory prefab construction project from inception to completion. Anticipating the familiar processes of construction, traditional methods and technologies are instead replaced by various labour-saving construction technologies where visitors personally witness and learn the uses and benefits of these technologies in their productivity journey. The show ends with a reveal, of an actual part and kit fractures of a prefab structure suspended in the lattice structure.

As visitors embark down an exit ramp, flanking rows of prefab structure (PBU, PPVC, CLT) displays will light up, inviting them in to explore the exhibits. Visitors learn more of their practical uses and benefits through miniature models with opportunities for industry sponsorships through videos, animation and brochures. Here, visitors are encouraged to tap their NFC cards to store and share vendor information with their peers.

“The Implementation – Technologies for Productivity”

Standing at the 50th floor viewing deck, visitors are set in the scene of a construction site, surrounded by scaffolds and catching glimpses of prefab displays. The area fills with anticipation as the immersive show begins.

An immersive thought-provoking multisensory show triggers a contemplative mindset as visitors witness how the adoption of construction technologies can empower them to become more productive and remain competitive in the global market.

Concluding the zone, viewing pods that feature large-scale “touch and feel” exhibits decelerate the pace of the visitor experience and create a more conducive and passive learning environment where visitors explore the exhibits on their own.

This large zone plays host to industry participation through a changing display of life-size machinery and tools built into smaller pockets of space. A distinctive backdrop of a long panoramic wall mural depicting a dynamic and bustling Singapore construction site are supported by photo collages and site signage to make for flexible and cost-efficient updates to the area.

“The continual integration of new technology, machinery and tools into the construction process help to increase productivity.”

In this temporary exhibition area, visitors are exposed to the workings of the latest construction machinery and tools through a display of life-size exhibits. They are encouraged to tap and store information on these changing exhibits to share and expand industry knowledge within their organisation.

“The Implementation – Tools for Productivity”

Graphics and video playbacks draw visitors’ interest as they expand their industry know-how and learn of its benefits.

The possible use of Augment Reality provides a more mobile mode of interactivity in accessing information on the different parts, uses and benefits of the machinery.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE

A relief interactive wheel washer tunnel is used as a transitory exit to indicate the end of the construction process line into the built environment. The journey is concluded by re-emphasising the important role of building professionals - through interviews, quotes and feedback stations – in equipping themselves and their organisations through the adoption of productive technologies.

“Building professionals play an important role in acknowledging that continual education is necessary to ensure productivity and efficiency in the building industry.”

Transiting through a wheel washer tunnel, the gallery experience concludes with a strong emphasis on the adoption of productive technologies. With the promotion of new technologies, visitors are now equipped with new knowledge, and understand that continual education is needed to ensure productivity and efficiency in the building industry. They leave with the understanding of the importance of the potential and benefits that these technologies bring.

Inspirational quotes fill the area to mark the end of learning and the start of application while a ‘Pledging Point’ provides an avenue for companies to commit to the productivity journey. Here, visitors are encouraged to find out more about BCAA courses and productivity outreach activities.

At the feedback kiosk, visitors tap their NFC cards to review their selected stored exhibit information, confirm their pre-registered e-mail addresses and complete a questionnaire on the gallery experience. Once completed, the information will be sent to their inboxes for easy reading and dissemination. Visitors are then required to return their safety helmets, vests and NFC cards.

“Beyond The BCA Productivity Gallery”

In the final zone, knowledge turns to action as visitors provide insight, access and share their stored information, and pledge their commitment to the productivity journey.

CONCEPT

When visitors enter the room, they see a white scale model of a key housing project (for e.g. Pinnacle@Duxton) juxtaposed with blank screens. A multi-touch screen will be centrally placed in the room for visitors to interact with the content that is projected on the scale model.

For example, visitors can take on the role of an Architect, a Structural Engineer, an M&E Engineer or a Builder, and select from a variety of tasks that a BIM software can perform e.g. simulate a structural analysis which would require them to then choose from a list of corrective actions.

Near Field Communicaton (NFC) cards are designed to allow visitors to store information of exhibits that are of particular interest to them.

This is also a viable way for BCA to analyse the popularity of exhibits based on visitor interest, which will help in the curation of future gallery updates. Overall, it ensures the gallery experience continues well beyond the tour.

The biometric showcase immerses the visitors into a simluated contruction zone keeping the experience as real as possible.

AR is a suitable application to showcase future technologies such as the use of 3D printed bricks to build a house. Alternatively, it could trigger a virtual image of a building by simply aiming the tablet at a 2D blueprint.

Visitors to the gallery will be able to try all the biometric systems when they retrieve their safety gear and pass through the entrance of the construction site. At random intervals, the system will deny entry to inject realism to the experience, showcasing the capabilities of the system.

At the Productivity Lounge, visitors are issued Near Field Communication (NFC) cards upon registration. NFC scanners located in every zone of the gallery would later allow visitors to scan their NFC cards to store additional exhibit information customised to their interests. In the final zone, visitors “check-out” at the feedback consoles, sending the stored information to their preregistered e-mail addresses, which can be shared with key personnel in their organisations.

The improvement of existing HDB estates is required to meet the ev-er-changing needs of a community that’s constantly evolving. Building upon the unique features of each estate, the “Remaking Our Heartland” (ROH) initiative capitalizes on innovation and upgrading to transform existing estates into vibrant homes for Singaporeans. Visitors will pass through 3 House-shaped steel frame structures, sym-bolic of one of HDB’s key missions to have Singaporeans associate HDB with “homes” instead of mere functional domiciles.

As they pass through the structures, visitor come to understand both the manifestos and the future plans of ROH Batch 2, as well as revisit the nuances of HDB’s ROH Batch 1 programme. Visitors are also made to understand the outcome of the Batch 1 programme through photo-graphs, video footage and audio clips interwoven throughout Zone 6. As they exit from the gallery, visitors encounter an updated review speech of PM Lee Hsien Loong’s review of the success of ROH Batch 1 programme.
