THE RIGHTS TO THE CITY
HENRI LEFEBVRE AND THE SITUATIONIST
The philosophy of Henri Lefebvre is about getting the freedom to change the city which in turns change the mindset of an individual. This is about breaking through a status quo and giving everyday lives some sort of the right to a citizen and going against capitalism.
Both Sultan Plaza and Textile Center were built in 1970s. Almost like siblings, the two malls are still standing tall side by side. These strata title malls were under the same position and sharing their pain yet, it almost looks like they share their visitors as well. This link way with roof has helped the visitors or by-passers in the rainy weather in Singapore.
The ceiling has a rather simple ornamental extrusions that follows the styles dating back to early 19th century. Fascinated by the structures of the ceiling which reflects an older architectural style, Atelier Bow-Wow style brought justice to my adoration towards the ceiling.

Design Detail and Design Element were chosen to illustrate in Atelier Bow-Wow style to study the details that are hardly caught. Each of them was section-cut.
IDEATION PROCESS
COLLAGED TEXTILE CENTRE ATRIUM BASED ON EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANITY BELIEFS
REFERENCE
Based on the family upbringing, the plug-in is meant to question the amount of one's entitlement under the realm of regionalism. The collage was done in controversy to the church to open perceptions of the people that step into the mall that does not only limit to the religion but also to the rights of each person as an individual.
What has been limiting you? Will you resist the mob mentality for your belief?

COLLAGED IMAGERY OF DESIGN INTERVENTION
DESIGN INTERVENTION
Atelier Bow-Wow style drawing as a method to design intervention and Collage is used a communication tool for
the intended atmosphere of the space.
Pockets of spaces created in concrete imitates the neutrality of the passed ones returning to nature and chimneys to represent the crematorium. Mirrors protrude from the water ponds to reflect the tranquility and emptiness of the body, the soul.
