Lost in Representation<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Tropical A(ir)esthesis as a thesis project begins with exploring architectural representations of the tropical air - the nuances of its presence situated within domestic spaces. Employing representational techniques familiar with-in and with-out the discipline, the thesis identifies each technique with a specific trait of the tropical air: the story-telling and the story itself.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Outcast<\/b><\/p>\r\n

The exploration leads to a development of a critical methodology for documenting and representing the author\u2019s personal day-to-day experience with the tropical atmosphere. This methodology relates to the discipline through a critique of the universal architectural scale, attempting to cast out architectural conventions and <\/span>tropicalise<\/span><\/i> the universal scale figure \u2013 the Vitruvian man and the Modulor - resulting in an imaginative modification to ubiquitous furniture and architectural fittings. <\/span>
<\/span>Representation of such architectural drawings uses liquid latex as the main canvas for tropical air to present itself as the subject of matter. The process of producing such drawings considers the extent of detail to ensure legibility and the technicalities of casting liquid latex - which is highly responsive to the climate of its immediate surrounding. The result is a trio of palimpsestic climate-responsive X-ray projection drawings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Dust Home<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Translation of the design exploration produces a residential prototype that defies norms of present public housing in Singapore, suggesting an alternative way of living in the tropics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The new HDB prototype accounts for air as a co-inhabitant with humans, creating a wind corridor that connects all openings throughout the house and simultaneously serves as common living spaces. Presence of tropical air is made visible through screens, typically located at openings, built expansively to cover all areas of walls wrapping the wind corridor as traps to culminate air-borne impurities. A core with air filters is installed in the middle of every house, channelling ventilation from service spaces on ground level towards the roof, generating a mild negative pressure and dust-filtering effect within the household. The core becomes a potential point for air quality management at household level.<\/span><\/p>","grid_spacer":"0","grid_spacer_topbottom":"0","grid_spacer_width":"200","grid_spacer_height":"5","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-scaled.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-scaled.jpg",2560,2560,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-400x400.jpg",400,400,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-1024x1024.jpg",1024,1024,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-768x768.jpg",640,640,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-1920x1920.jpg",640,640,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-1536x1536.jpg",1536,1536,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-7-2048x2048.jpg",2048,2048,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Nus MArch Gradshow","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/author\/nus-march-gradshow\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"[...]Read More...","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3622,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218\/revisions\/3622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218"},{"taxonomy":"supervisor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nusmarchgradshow.com\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supervisor?post=218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
