Before jumping into the conceptual design stage, my group decided to learn more about this material. We experimented with engraving on both sides of the wood veneer.

Back of veneer Front of veneerEffect from double side engraving

Translucency of veneer after engraving

Having found that different engraving patterns create different translucent effects on the material, we decided to go ahead in this direction. Where the material was doubly engraved, all the veneer would be burnt away, leaving a hole in the patterns.

Setting up of gridGrasshopper Definition

Flatten cells for individual cell selection via the ‘List Item’ function.

Creates new plane for each cell according to direction of vector betwween point A and point B.

Point A - Center of each cell Point B - Assigned point Point C - Point in Z-axis

Remaps assigned geometry from XY plane to new Target plane. Target plane - new plane respective to each cell.

BriefThis design plays with the properties of a sheet of wood veneer. Using a laser cutter machine, patterns are engraved onto both surfaces of the veneer.

SINGAPORE 2050TYPE OF PROJECT / SELF SUSTAINABLE SINGAPORELOCATION / KEPPEL-LABRADOR AREA DURATION / JAN - APR 2016 COURSE / SUTD, 20.501 OPTION STUDIO 3

BREIFIn the 21st century city, the main issues of growth and expansion need to be addressed with different methods as we are planning for the future. As an island city state, Singapore cannot be forever reliant on foreign resources and imports. In this studio, we explore the possibilities of creating a self-sufficient nation using sustainable methods.

Singapore will have a forecasted population of 10.7 million (building on Scenario 2C of the IPS), and a population density of 23, 000ppl/km². This is less dense than Hong Kong at 30, 472ppl/km2, but with only 8.2 million people. To accomodate for this sudden increase, 3D planning, with multiple vertical stratas will be needed to retain liveability in this new hyper-dense city.

STRATA - GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE

Residential focus

Commercial focus

Stratas 2-5

Stratas 1

Following our 3D planning strategy, we have designed Government infrastructure in terms of the Stratas at 100m high intervals. Space in between the stratas would be designed by architects, thus allowing variety into the development.

Strata 1 would cater to the bulk of commerical pedestrian traffic, allowing for more retail and offices. Trusses doubly serve as vertical farms to ensure self-sustainability of food.

Stratas 2-5 serve more domestic needs, catering to more pockets of urban farming and community space within the strata.

YORK HILL RESIDENCETYPE OF PROJECT / URBAN HOUSING LOCATION / YORK HILL DURATION / OCT - NOV 2014 COURSE / SUTD, 20.009 CORE STUDIO 3

BREIFThis new type of housing increases density and livable spaces at York Hill. Plugging into and enhancing existing connections with the surroundings, the shopping street on the ground floor of the development will become a main artery, livening up the entire district.

Massing studies - ways to plug into existing connections and improve circulation

Exterior render - Photoshop + Vray(Rhino)

GENERATING SHARING SPACES The existing housing type had an absence of infrastructure to allow for interaction be-tween neighbours. Units were designed either with inbuilt small pockets of spaces or with large gathering courtyards in between them. The intent was to maximise sharing spaces between both adjacent and neighbouring units.

MASSINGCONCEPT GENERATION

Massing developed from creating connections through site, then terracing mass to allow brightly lit common area.

A MILLION CUTSTYPE OF PROJECT / PATTERNED LAMPDURATION / JAN 2014COURSE / SUTD, 20.007 DIGITAL DESIGN AND FABRICATION

BRIEFThis project begin with investigating the materiality of veneer with a laser cutter. Using our findings, we then used these properties as a basis for design.

Using a laser cutter, a luminaire was created that showcased various light qualities that are created from the same material.

This project allowed me to really learn how to use a laser cutter and how both the parameters of the tool and the properties of a material can come to-gether to make something beautiful.

Also, this was one of the first times where a back and forth process be-tween digital, physical and machine mediums was needed.

CLOUD ATLAS TEA BAR

BRIEFThis chinese tea bar is designed from basic composition of volumes. The tea bar integrates itself into the site (Wet-lands). Consideration was given as to the culture of the Chinese in their restaurants.

Clouds - Mystical, ethereal, nebulous shapes.

To recreate this, the use of glass pan-els and gaps in walls are used. This strengthens the connection between the exterior facade and interior deco-ration. Rooted in Chinese culture, the tea bar features ancient spiral cloud patterns, while redefining vernacular architecture in the modern context.

TYPE OF PROJECT / CHINESE TEA BAR PROJECT LOCATION / XIXI WETLANDS, HANGZHOU, ZHEJIANG, CHINA DURATION / MAY - AUG 2013 MENTOR / ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY LVFENG ORIENT PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE CO LTD

Design begins from the basic composition of three 8x8 shaped boxes, taking into consideration the relationship each box has with each other.

Overall render - Photoshop + Vray(Rhino)

Each volume caters to dining rooms of a specific seating capacity to offer different levels of privacy.

INTERIOR DESIGN CONCEPTTo establish a stronger relationship between our tea bar and its surroundings, we decided on turquoise being the main colour of the interior, reflecting Xixi Wetlands. This is coupled with soft white lighting and minimalistic furnishing, creating a more spacious and tranquil feeling.
