At a state-of-mind

The lighting goes seamlessly through our journey. At the start, the lights define the familiarity between us and the object that represents the dead.

The attention of the loose bricks starts to reunite as we walk further into the corridor, creating a wall of memories.

Roof Terrace of Chong Pang Community Club

Located away from the crowd and noise of the community club, the unused roof terrace creates the opportunity to take us away from our hectic and stressful lives to peace and relaxation. Natural-like and flowing water feature helps to set the mood of this space.

Pods for 5

Pods for five is where a small group can exchange ideas and remarks. This idea was inspired by the Japanese seating culture. In this case, we are submerging ourselves, making us feel like we are diving into our journey of overcoming our loss.

Pods for 9

Pods for nine is the maximum amount of people that a counsellor can handle on the topic of grief. The gap between the ceiling and the pod allows us to look out to the sky and view the movements of the clouds as we overcome our thoughts.

This final year project talks about how the dead can be recognised through the familiarity of the objects, people and the relations to the site. Dead is part of our life’s and is a statement of when our journey ends and there is no escaping from it.

The corridor project is about the remembrance of our love ones who used to live in Bishan estate. Located at the corridors of Bishan Community Club, it houses the names engraved onto the red bricks.

Project grief is about the victims who suffer after the death of their love ones who died through suicide. Located at the roof terrace of Chong Pang Community Club, it defines a different approach to how a group and individual can gather and get the support they need.

Our community clubs are often underused. It is due to newer developments attracting the residence away. With the program catered for the dead at all community clubs, it creates a purpose and convenience to go to for the residence.
