Undergraduate studio
Singapore University of Technology and Design, Summer 2019.
Guangzhou, CN.
Working within a set of urban villages on Hiazhu island—informal settlements without a central planning strategy, characterized by continuous transformation and direct intervention—the studio explored ways of operating alongside the existing urban metabolism through time-based, adaptive, and generative design methods in contrast to static, comprehensive masterplans. The students worked primarily through agent-based modeling and generative video animations (using Grasshopper/ghPython) to identify locations for tactical interventions into the existing fabric. These interventions were scoped to emphasize their contingency on the existing urban fabric.
