Hot, Wet, Noisy (In-Progress)Contradictions of an equatorial urban settingSDE 3 Renovation

National University of Singapore Instructor: Erik L’HeureuxSpring 2016

Hot, Wet & Noisy, The Equatorial Architecture of Our Own House follows the design research ambitions of the past three years at NUS, extending knowledge of atmospheric design possibilities and representational techniques of architecture on the equator. This is not your average “tropically” inspired studio following in the normative trajectoryof tropical discourse propagated since the 1950’s rather it embraces the very real realities of a massively densifying urban project along the equator and the implications on the body of architecture through atmospheric, formal, and material terms as they are manifest in practice today. The ambition is to create highly intelligent, inspired and novel architecture while working within the governmental, political, and economic realities the influence but not determine architecture.

1) a series of precedent research investigations will ground the design discourse while 2) the SDE 3 and its forthcoming renovation will drive a rigorous program of architectural propositions, with very real design problematics. The studio will operate as both a highly speculative exercise coupled with precisely real problems to be solved, from solar heat load, daylight, and sound attenuation challenges to statutory regulations to real construction and budgetary constraints.

The promise of such a real premisedstudio is that students will develop highly implementable projects while coupling their design decisions within a larger discourse ofequatorial architecture. Input will be received from Transsolar from Munich, CPG, Parson Brinckerhoff and colleagues from ETH Zurich and SUTD during the course of the semester.

In Singapore, we face harsh climatic conditions such as heavy annual rainfall and direct sunlight. The site specifically requires us to mitigate noise from the heavy traffic while allowing for naturally ventilated spaces. Hence the contradiction. The need to selectively filter the elements of an urbanised tropical climate is looked into.

Thus, the opportunity arises to redefine the envelope as an expressive instrumental piece. The envelope is synthesised after careful considerations of the following factors: the urban approach, the structure and the environmental conditions (Sun, Rain, Wind and Noise)

The School of Architecture (SDE 3) is situated along the high traffic volume of Clementi Road. Serving as the west entrance into the university campus, the west facade should be representative of the school’s vision of being a leading architectural school in the equatorial context. The car parkings and road in front of SDE 3 are removed and redeveloped into an extensive garden with a water retention body aiming at reducing the urban heat island effect. The elevated topography prevents direct noise entry into the ground floor, allowing it to be developed into an outdoor naturally ventilated workshop deck.

Ecole Speciale D’architecture Instructor: Fabienne Bulle & Serge JolyFall 2015

Man and nature have always shared a symbiotic relationship. The actions by man on the environment will undeniably affect the structure and system of nature, so will the changes of the environment affect how man lives.

In recent years, the dominance of man over nature, as demonstrated in our actions, has led to irreparable impacts on the environment. Global warming has become the main issue of the 21th century. Man explores his environment again, not to conquer but to understand and re-evaluate their relationship with nature. We specifically studied glaciologists and

their journey of research up the French Alps. We propose to provide research stations for glaciologists in the mountainous region of Mont Blanc.

Despite the harsh climates of the mountain, the fragile landscape experiences first hand the impacts of climate change especially the glaciers within the mountains.

Studies are done at different altitudes, the environment changes as glaciologists ascends. The movement, inhabitation and the stages of research of the glaciologists in relation to the mountain inform the architecture of the stations.

The different altitude stages of the Alps: Foothill | Montane | Subalpine | Alpine | Nival have contrasting environments and landforms which co-exist harmoniously. The elements are deconstructed and listed in their altitudinal order to provide us an insight into the “constructs” of the atmospheric qualities of the Alpine landscape.

“Transhumance” refers to the seasonal movement of people with their livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures in the mountains. This phenomenon reflects the ‘harmonious’ relationship between the primitive man and nature, which is now lost in today’s society. With reference to this, we hope to articulate this idea of balance between man and nature through the architecture of the research stations for glaciologists.

We propose 3 research stations at different altitudes, facilitating the glaciologist through their journey. “Work space” “Sleep space” “Shelter space”

The mobility and accessibility of construction materials influence the design of the 3 stations at each altitude. The inaccessibility of these terrains requires construction methods that are site specific.

Full on-site construction | Partial assembly | Full assembly

Station 1 : Located in the subalpine region of the mountain, the site has an abundance of pin trees and is relatively accessible from the nearby cities.

Station 2: Located in the alpine region, the site is only accessible by foot or helicopter and has an abundance of slate rocks. Partial assembly will be more effective with pre-fabricated structures transported up by the

helicopter and partial on-site construction.

Station 3: Located in the nival region (permanent snow zone), accessibility is limited with the abundance of snow.

Espace de Travail | le bois

Located at the foot of the mountain, it is a space where the data collected by glaciologists are processed. They work together with climate researchers. This is a research facility for collaborative

work through sharing of collected data on the effects of climate change in the region .

Espace de Sommeil | le pierre

An addition to the existing Albert 1er refuge, it is a private space for glaciologists to store their Equipment and plan their hike up to the alpine zone . It takes a day of hiking to arrive at this altitude, they rest for

the night in the Albert 1er refuge and continue their ascend next morning.

Espace de Protection | le neige

It is a reinterpretation of a snow cave . With compression, the snow is high in strength and insulation. It provides temporary shelter from the cold wind, allowing the glaciologists to collect data.

Community HubFostering community in a privatized urban-scape Integration with Buona Vista’s transport network

National University of Singapore Instructor: Ruzica Bozovic StamenovicSpring 2015

Singapore celebrates fifty years of independence as a nation this year. The community centre as a building and programmatic typology is instrumental in contributing to social cohesiveness during our nascent decades as a young developing nation. Singapore inherited this typological construct through our colonial legacy; and amidst the milieu of a post-war, postcolonial independence, the early community centres served as a crucial socio-political crucible that is pivotal in galvanizing the country towards the ultimate goal of nation building.

Over the decades, these initial beginnings as a simple meeting ground morphed into the current iterations

which expanded multifold in size and program. From its origin as a socio-political construct, the community centre presently fulfills three broad agendas i.e. social, educational and recreational.

This trend of increasing functions and complexities is set to continue with the latest experiment of an integrated development that injects even commercial, healthcare, sports and other programs.

The repercussion of such upsizing is a dilution of the social imperative of a community centre as it intermixes with consumerist-capitalist and other non-social agendas. Concurrently, many of the community centre’s educational and recreational programmes are readily replicated by enterprising service providers.

The site of intervention is immediately surrounded by high rise business buildings and train station. The project proposes an internalised environment which provides a platform for people seeking an escape.A critical review of what constitutes the essence of a community centre to ensure its sustainability is therefore in order. The jubilee celebration offers a timely opportunity to [re]define the raison d’être of this significant social institution. Here, the proposition is to reclaim its essential role as the social kernel of a community, and to divest off the extraneous functions.

The increase in mobility allows the community center to reach out to residents beyond the immediate vicinity. Unlike the conventional community center typology of post-independence Singapore which are built in residential areas, the site in Buona Vista offers a hub for transportation, leisure and work. Hence the project investigates the integration of a community center with the existing transportation network.

In [re]conceiving this new mission for the [re]invented community centre, it is deemed necessary that it becomes a melting pot for two generationally-opposed demographics—the elderly and young children—the common glue that binds entire families together. Thus, this [re]imagined community centre infuses a new programme: an integrated elderly-cum-child care day centre—tentatively called the Community Care Centre.

By bringing together two separate existing programmes to coalesce in this new typology, a whole new perspective is engendered in the familial, social, programmatic, functional, spatial, aesthetic, experiential and urban possibilities. The design explores the interlocking of 4 main programs - education, elderly care, child care and public facilities.

At the center of the project is a garden bridge structure spanning across the various programmatic volumes. It provides an exterior platform for people of the community center – education, eldercare and childcare, to engage with the rest of the center. The bridge is representative of the spirit and atmosphere within the community.

Home27 Margaretenweg, ZurichReference: Monte Verità Community

ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich)Instructor: Adam CarusoFall 2014

Although there are many types of dwelling and different kinds of households, the feeling of being at home is important to all of us, and it is part of human nature to seek it out.

We studied examples of homes where physical setting and lifestyle come together to form an indivisible whole. We started with historical models that embody hierarchical social orders, houses by Palladio and Robert Adam. Studies also encompass less conventional examples where setting, use and social structure have been turned upside down, places like Andy Warhol’s factory, which was not intended to be lived in but was certainly inhabited around the clock.

We applied these lessons to the design of modest student houses on the site in Zurich, where we will try to connect to the rich history of house design at the same time as opening up new possibilities for the collective and private, hanging out and working, male and female to co-exist in a new kind of balance.

I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in large and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up. It is surprising how many great men and women a small house will contain. Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

Monte Verità - Hill of Truth

They settled above Ascona, Ticino to create a utopian community that experiments with new lifestyles for those who wish to escape the frenzy of the city and live as one with nature. Soon many artists, writers and intellectuals stayed in this enchanted forest seeking inspiration.

The community of Monte Verità was referenced when designing a student hostel for Margaretenweg, an uppermiddle class residential district of Zurich.

In the design, we explored the way of communal living that transcends beyond the walls of the home and how it sits in relation to the single family houses of Margaretenweg. The idea of a home surrounded by winter gardens and loggias that celebrates its surroundings as season changes. These are the “in-between” spaces that softly define the interior from exterior.

Nest Slow Food Project - Digital Detoxification

National University of Singapore Instructor: Donovan SoonFall 2013

Situated in a natural landscape behind the library building of the university, the site has a sloping terrain and it’s surrounded with old rain trees. The program calls for a slow food café, a pavilion that provides a platform for patrons to socialize and reconnect them with themselves and their friends.

The approach to the nest is a journey. A journey down the sloping terrain as people leaves the university seeking momentary escape from stress. The Nest is an extension

of the terrain as the roof merges with the ground, allowing people to ascend among the presence of the old rain trees. The overall form facilitates the idea of a public amphitheater.

Bamboo structure softens the monolithic form and allows greater flexibility. The lightness of the structure allows a great deal of transparency - allowing the activities of the individuals inside to become the façade, or the image, of this new community.

Construction: Wood

National University of Singapore Instructor: Kazuhiro Nakajima Spring 2013

We were required to design a bicycle perch with timber with a cross section size no larger than 25mm x 25mm. In addition, all connections and joints between timber should be mechanical joints that facilitate disassembly. The bicycle perch was designed as a piece of furniture, sculptural and elegant in its form and movement in relationship with the bicycle.

Construction: Concrete

National University of Singapore Instructor: Ben ChanFall 2013

The design intent from the onset was to challenge the limits of concrete. Inspired by the reciprocal frame whilst bearing in mind the solid-void notion, we came up with a module that was individually weak but structurally sound through interlocking. Paper-thin cantilevering fins expressing corrugated ridges at the periphery is possible with the interlocking structural core of the 180cm concrete tower.
