`

Paper furniture: Inspired from the shape of comma, the

rocking chair is built purely from cardboard with the construction

concept of mortise and tenon joinery. The design played with the

language of rhythm at the arrangement & side cuts of the back

rest and seat panels.

Living pod: The design of a public book sharing

place cum reading area in the campus explored

with the form of ellipse with the intention of

creating a different kind of reading experience for

the users.

Retreat house: A house sitting on a gentle

slope facing the sea, the open plan design

took inspiration from Johnsons Glass House

while attempted to replicate the humbleness

of a wood hut. The sliding glass walls enable

users to harness cross ventilation from seabreeze according to their preference.

Tea pavilion: Exploring with organic forms, the

design is based on the concept of sprouting

leaves from the ground where spaces are

created underneath. It took advantage of the

site of two different levels which separates the

building with open and enclosed space on the

upper and lower level respectively. The upper

space is flooded with textural lights created from

the skylight as one of the playful elements of the

pavilion. The building will be a hybrid of

materials consisting of fiberglass, reinforced

concrete and glass.

The design brief requires students to replace an existing entrance gateway of the University of Malaya with a new

design plus an additional security office on adjacent vacant area. The design of the gateway adopted Brutalist

architecture to evoke a sense of monumentality that reflects the age of the public institution. The planning of security

office is done based on the perception of security operation consistent presence, yet operates in the background.

In this project, the market design is intended to compliment the neighboring existing market by keeping its architecture

simple, yet subtle which reflects the peaceful and slow pace lifestyle of the town. Spatial planning is dividedstraightforwardly into 3 areas: transition zone, wet and dry market zone, and services zone without compromising the

design brief to adaptive reuse the 4 existing shop houses in preserving local heritage buildings. Low technology is

emphasized in green technology features of the building such as natural ventilation and natural day lighting with rain

water harvesting.

As the concept of lifelong learning is gaining momentum in Malaysia, people still tend to shy away from it due to thelack of urge to enrich themselves despite the benefits of personal fulfillment and career enhancement. Hence, the

proposed center attempts to close up its physical and psychological distance to the locals by embracing them with

multiple pedestrian linkages through the building in a park setting to influence them with the sounds and activities

generated from the building as they walk through. The architectural design attempts to fit into the site context by

rejecting the use of modern minimalist architectural faade treatment. It was not successful, but still a good attempt.

The competition brief requested for appropriate building method which minimizes or even replaces the use of concrete

in construction for typical family housing which is getting more and more popular in India. Inspired by Indian vernaculararchitecture, the proposed solution aims to achieve zero concrete and carbon positive by adapting and enhancing

traditional bamboo house on stilts construction with other natural (earth) and recyclable elements (recycled tyre).

The competition brief requested for a modular free standing school that will;

Encourage and reward design excellence at a small scale which integrates function, structure, details and the need foreducation.

Research, respond to and highlight the unique aspects of designing a school with the constraints of the site.Encourage the employment of sustainable design in all aspects of the proposal.Due to the fact that the teachers and students are migrants they cannot legally buy the land on which to build but mustlease instead. This means that the Thai landlords can ask them to leave at any time. In the past this has led to landlords

taking and occupying any buildings that have been built for the purposes of the school. We hope to respond to this by

asking all submissions to make allowance for the main building elements to be deconstructed and reerrected elsewhere,

this can be done through modularization or any other similar technique.

Space required: Reception (25m), Classrooms (6X12m), Canteen (40 m), Toilet (16 m), Office (12 m),

Plant for water tank, cleaning and electricity system(10 m)
