Shaping CBD Future II: “Week 13, Final Presentation”

In the future context when Singapore is heavily populated in terms of urban density, we are facing severe land scarcity. With the remaining green/available spaces occupied for specific uses that cannot be utilized for building, there is an need to find new ways for development.

In the future context when Singapore is heavily populated in terms of urban density, we are facing severe land scarcity. With the remaining green/available spaces occupied for specific uses that cannot be utilized for building, there is an need to find new ways for development.

With the idea of modularity and circularity in mind, we aim to design an adaptive and flexible workspace that creates new environment, yet not occupying extra lands. Therefore, we decided to design a system based on Symbiotic Architecture.

Symbiosis is defined as an interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, usually to the advantage of both. Our proposed system will be flexibly deployed and climb onto existing buildings. Through the provision of new façade and extended floorplates, new moments are created at old spaces, bringing new life into the place.
