Thesis 2019 Hydrophilia: Responsive Architectur

Thesis 2019 Hydrophilia: Responsive Architecture with Hygro-compliant mechanisms Loo Yi Ning Stella Mentor: Asst Prof Kenneth Tracy

Hydrophilia explores the use of hygroscopic material, chitosan, to passively actuate sensitively designed compliant mechanisms, creating a more visually captivating and interactive architecture experience intimately linked to its environmental conditions.

Thesis 2019 Active Workplace Teo Qian Yi Rilla Mentor: Assoc Prof Chong Keng Hua

Fluidity within a high-rise building

In modern society, there is a rise in sedentary occupation which leads to a general reduction in physical movement in an individual’s daily life. Many workplaces, especially in high-rise buildings, further exacerbates such lifestyle. Conventional high-rise architecture separates vertical and horizontal circulation into different entities. This thesis investigates how these two entities can be integrated together to create a seamless circulation flow, forming interesting spaces while promoting physical movement within the high-rise building.

Thesis 2019 The Poetics of Construction So Jing

Thesis 2019 The Poetics of Construction So Jing Wen Mentor: Asst. Prof Felix Raspall

Architecture is invariably as much about structure and construction as it is about space and abstract form. The Poetics of Construction seeks to explore the spatial and geometric potential of bamboo as a building material, more specifically, the architecture of Colombian architect Simón Vélez. The research will focus on the poetic dimension of the translation from line drawings by the architect to three-dimensional space. The language derived from this study will then be applied to the design project, as a reinvention of Vélez’s novel techniques in bamboo construction.

Thesis 2019 Aural Architecture: Intangible Spat

Thesis 2019 Aural Architecture: Intangible Spatialities | Michael Augustine Yeow Zhi Wei Mentor: Asst. Prof Christine Yogiaman

An anectdote by Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter in their book “Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?: Experiencing Aural Architecture” illustrates the differences of the perception of space between an individual within a heavy glass box and another in a box wrapped in opaque cloth. The former is able to see his surroundings beyond the confinements of his space, but is unable to hear any of the events occurring outside of the enclosure. On the other hand, the latter only sees pitch black, but can clearly hear everything happening outside of the box. The geometrical and material behaviour of different building materials thus allow them to have differing aural and visual porosities, which in turn affects the sensations experienced within a space.

Inspired by these observations, the thesis titled “Aural Architecture - Intangible Spatialities” sought to understand the extent that geometry and materials could be manipulated to control the soundscapes of spaces, ultimately working towards methods to design “aural architecture”.

The project applied these methods into designing an experimental theatre in Kiev, whereby music rooms were designed based on the amount of reverberation experienced rather than for a set genre of music, and the public spaces would allow for open air performances without interruption from traffic and other ongoing events. Building and room massings designed during this project were evaluated and optimised by a computational model that prioritised acoustic comfort and usability. These massings were exported into Unreal Engine and evaluated based on qualitative feedback of the virtual reality experience of exploring the building in model space.
