Design of the pavilion have to reflect the real
personality of the designer.
From far, the pavilion looks like a flat screen. This flat
screen are formed by smaller folding panels and it
generate spaces to accommodate various activities.
Located in the urban area, this proposal is an
alternative to Urban Camping.
The camping platforms allow users to bulid their
own tent rig ht in the city where they can experience
the first hand local culture. Careful planning of the
camping ground give users sense of privacy while
providing them greenery view in their individual lot.
Penang Island, where current economic growth is
focus on industrial sector, is depending largely on
the food imported from Peninsular Malaysia.
The proposal aim to redefine the role of food
production in local context. Shift from rural area to
city; old generation to young generation; traditional
to modern method; heritage to modern building;
consume to produce are all consider in this proposal.

Human energy is a new source of renewable energy. The
modular hexagonal elements are flexible to fit in accordance to
any existing structure. The modular elements which harvest human
energy throug h its piezotechnically activated surface.
The Final Thesis is a proposal that aim to provide multi ple solutions in an problematic
city centre which crowded with colleges students, residents and public visitors.
SJ Commons provides an interaction platform for students, local residents and public
visitors. Boundaries of the campuses will become more penetrable and its facilities
will be used more efficiently for mixed activities. It is a commons for everyone who
stay, live, study and work in that area.
Freelance projects provided valuable opportunities for me to refurbish my skills and
to work with different architects. I am able to work on a wide variety of projects
different architects and after years of experience, architectural visualization and
physical model are becoming the main stream of my services.
3Gen housing are designed for multi- generation families to stay under one roof and also
support the needs of larger families which may require an additional bedroom with attached
bathroom.
This project is a correspondence to todays growing household size especially in urban area
where the living expenses are hig her. Exploration of new typology of hig h rise residential ]
allow owners to have their units in two separate floors.

Today many campuses are lack of quality squares, commons,
or other places that bring their community together for
interaction and fun. Close proximity of city campus in
urban area increasing interaction between university and
outside world. SS15, an early planned townshi p with hig h
concentration of PrHEIs is selected as the project site.
SJ Commons provides an interaction platform for students,
local residents and public visitors. Boundaries of the
campuses will become more penetrable and its facilities
will be used more efficiently for mixed activities. It is a
commons for everyone who stay, live, study and work in that
area.

RESIDENCE @ JALAN KUCHING|Kuala Lumpur|
[ DESIGN CONCEPT ]
What?
The current housing developments are mostly self-centred and isolated from the surrounding communities.
Gated communities are becoming a current trend.
Besides that, in certain areas of the City where housing has been built facing major roads is uncontrollably
converted into commercial development.
Why?
The quality of the housing environment does not extend beyond the boundaries of individual residential development. Poor provision
of community’s facilities and landscape are not proportionate with number of population. Lack of interconnection spaces between
developments caused the gated community. This has promoted the hig h crime rates as neig hbours does not have chance to interact
with each other. Ironically, peoples always think that gated environment is the safest place to stay.
How?
The whole city environment should be observed in housing development planning in order to provide fluidity between different scales
of social structures.
The proposal of the housing development should be compatible with their surroundings, maintain connections, enhance the public
spaces which they adjoin and optimise the spaces between developments

In order to enhance the
sense of belonging, the open
gate community is created
on the ground floor. Carefully
planning of commercial areas
and facilities help to secure
the residents private life while
provide interactions with the
surrounding community.

The proposed site is located at the boundary of UNESCO World Heritage Site and next to Penang Island Administrative Centre, Komtar. The proposal located at a formerly abandoned site, which aims to redefine,
recreate and revive the missing linkage between modern and heritage; virtual farming and real farming; buy food and plant food; chemical and organic; and etc.

A central on-site energy centre will provide electricity for the devices and equi pment and power to the biomass and the primary energy
source for this will be agriculture waste and organic waste from the surrounding community. These organic matters will be burnt in
a steam biomass boiler and used to drive the CHP system. Ash from the boiler will be re-used in the garden whilst heat from the CHP unit
will be used to regenerate a liquid desiccant. This desiccant will be used to remove moisture from the fresh air supply. This helps cut power
consumption; dry air requires far less energy to cool it than moist air does. Another renewable energy resource comes from solar energy
throug h semitransparent photovoltaic panels at the centre atrium of the two towers.
The kinetic energy from raindrop will convert into the electricity. Rainwater will be collected from the gutter behind the ring columns,
rooftop, and storm water runoff. The water collected will be filtered and use for toilet flushing, landscape irrigation and top up cooling water.

The steel rod connected the walkway to
the steel trusses which are supported by
the concrete column.
The platform tie back to the steel trusses
to secure the position of the walkway
and platform. The steel trusses also
supported the green screen.
Green facades use climbing plants that need
supporting structure. Hardy species are selected
to reach great heig hts and tolerance for wind,
rain and heat. Flowerless and fruitless climbing
plants should be selected to avoid unwanted
pests and insects.

This pavilion is divided into three levels. Starting
from the entrance, visitors will experience the
spaces create by the folding panels. Non repetitive
angle of folding panels creates different spaces
and these spaces can be adaptable to the users’
needs. Along this journey, users will experience the
unexpectation and changing of directions. Finally,
the journey ended at the hig hest level where the
best view is offered..

This project translate the unseen sides of the
designer that nor normally seen by others into
the form of a pavilion
In architectural language, I compared it as an
object appeared
flat when we look it from far, as we getting closer,
the sense of
spaces will become stronger.
This will create surprise to the user about the
pavilion as well ignite the curiosity of the visitors to
know more about it.

Client required realistic architectural rendering for the proposed

Based on the drawing provided by the

Craftsmanshi p and consistency of work
quality is important in this model that built
manually without any help of the machine.
Client are satisfied with the end product.
| Physical Model |
This model is the largest physical model that
ever built by archimaking. It is a challenging
project with its scale and the craftsmanshi p
skills needed to produce a detail model.
Clients are satisfied with the end product.
| Physical Model |
This large model with two blocks of towers required
hig h precision and consistent in the quality of
works. The material selection and the finishing of
the model became a benchmark of archimaking
work. We are able to produce such hig h quality
model without any help from the modern machine.
