Sown in Rain
Unit 2 - Matter Matters
Tutor: Ar. Ng San Son
Sown in Rain delves into Singapore’s botanical narrative, aiming to reverse extractive botany modes and deepen the city-state’s agenda through a seed to transplantation facility. Inspired by the circa-tidal filtration properties of oyster gills, the project questions architecture’s role as a time deformer, exploring stormwater management strategies.
Structured into three scales, the project unfolds in a performative study:

▫️Macro: Tensioned structures enhance water absorption, maximizing surface contact through surface tension.
▫️Meso: Water seeps into cavities, forming a living skin that stretches to prevent desiccation, embodying water retention.
▫️Micro: Over time, water drips through porous skin, ejecting into the ecosystem.
Through the integration of rainwater harvesting strategies, the coastal nursery enhances Marina’s ecosystem resilience.

The Architecture becomes a tool to bridge Singapore’s botanical heritage, supporting the counterparts of the Garden city landscape.

Unit 1 - Interfaces for Connective-Disconnection
Tutor: Chan Wai Kin

Theatrics of Commerce examines Singapore’s Urban Landscape and Economic narratives, a choreography that challenges conventional market typologies. Tanjong Pagar becomes the stage for this endeavor, where economic disparities are spotlighted, shifting away from the discerning social divide characterised by economisation. The project seek to question the rootedness of markets, proposing a hybridisation with host typologies to liberate urban spaces.

As the curtain falls on this exploration, the audience is left with a profound question- Can commerce and urbanity coalesce to redefine societal narratives? It is a testament to leveraging market hybridity, a counter-narrative against the proliferation of gentrification. Architecture becomes a force that rebalances the economic topography, contributing to the escalation and reaffirmation of dominance.

Tanjong Pagar becomes the stage for this endeavor, where economic disparities are spotlighted, shifting away from the discerning social divide characterised by economisation.

The project seek to question the rootedness of markets, proposing a hybridisation with host typologies to liberate urban spaces. The Market serves as the starting point for the three emerging prototypes and sets the stage for a revival of market freedom. Preliminary Meso-studies delved into the inefficiencies of horizontal market layouts, prompting a paradigm shift towards a vertical street.

Furthermore, micro-analysis reveals the impermanence of makeshift stalls, akin to a theatrical performance where economic roles seamlessly shift throughout the day. Historically, markets have been manifested in the form of mobile push-carts, where housewifes gathers periodically for bargains. Programmatically, the Market Theatre charts a course of periodic functionality,that reverses the role of actors and spectators throughout the day, reducing the need for prolonged operating hours of the ageing demographics.
