1 - Long Island Project Research

2 - International Design Center (IDC) Project

This territorial research challenges outdated and mono-tonic, mono-functional modes of reading and (re-)designing the territory.

The project explores new forms of inhabitation and of production, new synthetic ecologies able to propose multi-layered, complex and highly densified habitats within coastal areas. Within it, infrastructure is understood as the means to engage with the machinic processes ranged across the territory. The critical role played by infrastructure in the organisation and management of the city’s complex systems of movement, communication and exchange is recognised as the basis from which its operation can be further developed and pushed beyond its tendency to fragment and divide toward other possibilities. We pursue the formal and material articulation of infrastructure, coordinating its operations with the territorial processes, forms and parameters identified in the site, developing its relation to the ground.

3 - SEA Atlas

This is part of our ongoing research to generate a South-East Asia Atlas that connects anthropogenic action with climate change and sea level rise within the region’s coastal areas. It operates as a guide through issues found and problematised through a cartographic system.

This body of research grows and transforms along time as new parameters are incorporated both in the general climatic/political condition of the world and within our own local palette of academic interests within South East Asia.

Projects

1 - Long Island Project Research

The Long Island Project involves the reclamation of land at higher levels off the East Coast and placing them in the form of "islands" located a distance away from the existing coastline. This project is aimed to help Singapore's effort in coastal protection. Another feature of the project includes the concept of a new reservoir. The reservoir will include two centralized tidal gates and pumping stations, similar to Marina Barrage, which will keep out seawater during high tides and discharge stormwater into the sea during heavy rainfall. The tidal gates and the reclaimed land will form a continuous line of defense along the coast for protection against rising sea levels.

Presently, the Long Island Project remains conceptual and feasibility studies will begin in 2024.
