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.

design studio 3
precedent studies
Precedent studies can aid us in our approach on design from minor considerations to overall concepts. The main aim is to critically analyse 2 selected architectural precedents in terms of spatial typology and poetics. One building must be pre-modern while the other must be contemporary. Also, one must be linear, and the other, concentric.
In groups of 5, we apply the design strategies based on the precedents. Based on the given literature, we are to visualize it from an architectural viewpoint and eventually translate these forms of lyrics, text and poetry into a journey by using 2 distinct spatial typologies.
poetics
Song given to us: Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
GIven literature: Cities and Desire II by Italo Calvino
At the end of three days, moving southward, you come upon Anastasia, a city with concentric canals watering it and kites flying over it. I should now list the wares that can profitably be bought here: agate, onyx, chrysoprase, and other varieties of chalcedony; I should praise the flesh of the golden pheasant cooked here over fires of seasoned chery wood and sprinkled with much sweet marjoram; and tell of the women I have seen bathing in the pool of a garden and who sometimes - it is said - invite the stranger to disrobe with them and chase them in the water. But with all this, I would not be telling you the city's true essence; for while the description of Anastasia awakens desires one at a time only to force you to stifle them, when you are in the heart of Anastasia one morning your desires waken all at once and surround you. The city appears to you as a whole where no desire is lost and of which you are a part, and since it enjoys everything you do not enjoy, you can do nothing but inhabit this desire and be content. Such is the power, sometimes called malignant, sometimes benign, that Anastasia, the treacherous city, possesses; if for eight hours a day you work as a cutter of agate, onyx, chrysoprase, your labor which gives form to desire takes from desire its form, and you believe you are enjoying Anastasia wholly when you are only its slave.

Cities and Desire II was represented by a concentric model inspired by the churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia. It is an an abstract form of a thriving city, giving a surreal and sprawling impression to viewers. As people are lured towards its grandeur, they become part of its glory. On the other hand, Fake Plastic Trees is translated into a walkway expressing the sham of the manufactured world and the indifference of everyday life.
