Thesis: Towards an Optimised Fabrication Economy of Complex Forms

This investigation seeks to rationalise and better the efficiency of complex forms in architecture by studying in detail the manner of form ‘discretisation’, the process in which a complex form is broken down into components for construction and assembly. By understand-ing how lines can create geometry, this thesis seeks a method to break down complex form into repeated modules as far as possible, in order to increase material, time and cost efficiency.

The result is a transport hub to handle train, bus and pedestrian traffic, housing all three within a single flowing roof that can be pre-fabricat-ed with the least number of varying module types as possible.

Year 5 for M. Arch (2011/12) Under supervision of Shinya Okuda.

The Temple of Wood

An exploration of light and shadow, this project is initiated with the identification of a single module which can propagate to create space. The Temple of Wood is created from a single two pronged ‘fork’ combined to create a module that forms wall of various combinations, allowing varying effects and shadows on the spaces that result. The pavilion composed from these wall combinations creates a symphony of shadows throughout the day, with a different patterning at every hour.

Year 4 Semester I (AY2010/11) Under supervision of Joseph Lim.

Modulating the Torus

This project is a study of the geometry of the torus. Its proposal was for a sheltered lounge area for the architecture students of NUS, providing an area of respite from long nights in the studio. With the form of a torus lying on the sloping terrain, a fixed number of module types could re-create the entire surface. With digital fabrication, the eventual form could be vacuum-formed from 13 unique modules created by subtractive rapid prototyping. The stripping of the torus into its bare minimum gives a pattern of modules propagated to form its pure geometry.

Year 4 Semester II (AY2010/11) A group effort with Lee Rong Rong.Under supervision of Shinya Okuda.

MODULATING THE TORUSAN EXPLORATION OF FORM AND GEOMETRY WITH THE USE OF ALGOR AND ECOTECT ANALYSIS TO OPTIMISE PERFORMANCETHE FORM OF THIS PROPOSAL FOLLOWS THAT OF THE TORUS, CUT AND TILTED ALONG THE GEOMETRY AND CONTOURS OF THE SITE. WITH THE USE OF THE AUTODESK ALGOR TOOL, THE DESIGN HAS UNDERGONE NUMEROUS STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS TO ALLOW INFORMED DECISIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS COMPONENTS. THE EVOLUTION OF THE COMPONENT PANELS THUS FOLLOWS A NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE MOST OPTIMAL OF A RANGE OF GIVEN GEOMETRIES AND THE LIMITS OF FABRICATION MEANS. THE PANELS THAT MAKE UP THIS FORM WILL BE OF PLASTIC, VACUUM FORMED AROUND ELEVEN PRECISE MOULDS THAT ARE FABRICATED BY SUBTRACTIVE RAPID PROTOTYPING. AS A SYSTEM, THE COMPONENTS ARE SUPPORTED WHERE NECESSARY WITH WOODEN RIBS THAT RUN THROUGH THECORRUGATIONS FORMED ON ITS SURFACE.

A Yoga Retreat Centre

Located metres away from the busy Newton Circle traffic roundabout, this retreat requires a quiet atmosphere in order facilitate the activities of a yoga retreat. The main strategy of sinking the building into the ground led to the creation of tunnel-like corridors for the private stay-in areas, and spaces which would open to the canopy of trees which grew at ground level, which are existing on-site.

Year 3 Semester I (AY2009/10) A group effort with Tan Jack Young and Edmond Khoo.Under supervision of Kazuhiro Nakajima.

Back to the Water

This backpackers’ hostel is located in the heart old town Malacca, the surroundings a quiet shophouse neighbourhood, accompanied by the river right behind it. Back to the Water was conceived as a work-stay hostel, where the occupants would learn and serve the rattan store owner who lived next to the plot, in order to earn their stay. The concept of this project was to bring the occupants closer to the water, like the way living by the river meant, for residents had long lost their intimacy with water with the new concrete boardwalk the government had built.
