eco campaign 2015 eco ideas proposal competition
first runner-up
19 June 2015
In this varsity-level competition, participants from all schools present their ideas on ways to decreasing carbon-emission, urban heat island effect and other negative impacts on our environment through ways of waste management, innovative technology or any other methods.
Our team's idea is to revolutionize residential housing plans by redirecting waste from housing units to an urban farming zone. Agriculture with close proximity to the living areas produces organic food back to the residents. This decreases the demand of transportation of food from other places and fully utilize waste as fertilizer, thus making residential houses more self-sustainable.

asian architecture
contextual architecture study
In groups of five or six, we are first required to identify a building in Asia and carry out a case study on the selected building through observations, readings and research on the contemporary contextual architecture practices and issues in Asia. This project aims to provide us a better understanding on the fundamental issues of a typical contextual architecture and the led to the growth of vernacular architecture language in a country.
The building we selected to study on is the Rienzi House in Singapore designed by A D LAB as it implements passive design strategies that are applicable in our efforts to propose an ideal plan for local terrace houses.

Many factors must be taken consideration whend refurbishment and renovation efforts are done. These factors include climatic, cultural and coordination aspects. These fundamental elements have been integrated, which improves the design of a residential house nestled amidst a constrained site between two other buildings. The design of Rienzi House is pragmatic as it responds to local tropical climate, fitting the language of vernacular architecture which is sometimes neglected by the local population in the course of rapid modernization and globalization.
