SOLID TO VOID
THE

EFFECTS

ON

FAADE

ON

HUMAN

BEHAVIOUR

The density of buildings gradually decrease from

the Koek Rd junction to Cairnhill junction. In the
first half of the journey, the buildings were dense
and the facades were in close proximity to the
street and walkways. This results in a strong
perception of linearity in the user.

Paragon back entrance

NODES // PEDESTRIAN
ORIENTED ACTIVITY
The street is such that it
encourages the public to spend time
outdoors. With the addition of
activities, the streets become
nodes.

SOCIAL DIMENSION // SERIAL VISION 1

SHIFT IN MOVEMENT PATTERN

FROM LINEAR TO PRESENCE OF MORE NODES AS A RESULT OF
FAADE AND FORMS

In the first half of the serial vision, the reflective

glass facades and solid structures also creates in
the user a sense of intimidation. As the journey
progresses, more nodes are present, breaking
the monotony of the linear movement that shows
a shift in pedestrian behavior.

NODES // OPEN SPACES

Places with shelter, be it buildings
or foliage act as nodes as it
becomes a shading device from rain
and shine.

SOCIAL DIMENSION // SERIAL VISION 1

DISCONNECTIVITY TO CONNECTIVITY
HOW LINEARITY AND NODES AFFECT THE LEVELS OF
ENGAGEMENT

It is seen that linearity promotes movement at a

pace that is unsuitable for engagement with the
surroundings, and this pace is observed by the
vast majority. With node points however, dwelling
is encouraged and these nodes act as collection
points, enhancing the relationship between the
pedestrian and their surroundings.

DISCONNECTIVITY

CONNECTIVITY

The proximity of the faade

planes to the pedestrian
walkway promotes linearity,
resulting in a disengagement
with the the pedestrian and
the site.

The large open spaces are nodes

as they act as event spaces that
attract a crowd. This creates a
relationship between the public and
the site, resulting in successful
placemaking.

VISUAL DIMENSION // SERIAL VISION 2

CHANGE IN GEOMETRY
LEAVES STRONGER MEMORY
RESULTS IN A STATE OF CALM

Heading towards the direction of Ngee Ann City

and Starhill, the element of symmetry becomes
more and more apparent. The language of
symmetry registers in the mind a vision of
wholeness and balance, resulting in a feeling of
ease in the viewer.

SYMMETRICAL

IRREGULAR GEOMETRY

Symmetry in form was prominent

especially in the older buildings.
The formal, orderly layout of these
buildings lend a sense of harmony
to the perceiver.

Extreme forms were noted on some of

the buildings. The intentional use of
irregular geometries make the building
stand out as it seems to defy all site
context. The lack of symmetry while
slighting disorienting, is nonetheless
an attraction point.

VISUAL DIMENSION // SERIAL VISION 2

CONTRAST IN FACADE
EVOKES DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH
SURROUNDINGS

Along Orchard Road, there is a play of opaque

and reflective surfaces that cause different
levels of engagement with the surroundings. On
one hand there are the solid structures, bulky
and cold. On the other, there are the glass
curtain walls that reflect both the buildings and
the pedestrian movements on the streets.

MULTIPLICITY TO SINGULAR POINT

FROM CLUTTERED VISION TO A SINGLE FOCAL POINT

As we progress down the street, the most

evident is the shift in vision. The user
experiences a distracted mind in the beginning
of the journey, the distractions are gradually
reduced by a strong finishing element ION
Orchard, in this scenario, that pulls all attention
on itself such that the surrounding noise is no
longer relevant.

TRANSITION
TURN

OPEN SPACE
The large open space in front of the building act as
a buffer as well as a node. The empty space also
frames the building, creating focus. This is where
the multiplicity of views is removed of clutter.

CITY OF MULTILAYERS
COLLAGE CITY

ORCHARD ROAD showcases a city that is

a combination of multiple layers, each
overlaying on the previous, forming a
complex entity of social, visual and
functional dimensions.
The multiple layers serve not to highlight
the similarities or differences, rather, offer a
glimpse into the complex body of a city. It
aims to show the linkage between all the
layers, how one is linked to the next, all
contributing to a greater whole.

DAVID
My favorite city will be Manhattan. I am so fascinated by the buildings in Manhattan. The
colors, the forms and the design of the buildings are like celebrating the life of the city and
injecting energies to the city and make the whole city comes alive. The skyscrapers in
Manhattan has shaped the city skyline. I believe every city has its own distinctive skyline
but the Manhattan will be the one which will not be forgotten by anyone. As the Manhattans
skyline is show the life of the city and it is like a dream place that everyone wants to go and
a place where a dream start from. It is place where everyone will remember and eventually
in love with it.

GEORGIUS
Singapore has succesfully express her love and servitude to its people in its
own way. Though singapore is known for being a small country, it doesn't
stop serving its people which consisted users from different enthnic and
cultural backgrounds, at its best without comprimising any small details of
architectural element in its design. Yet from it, singapore has came out with
a very unique style architecture that celebrated every particular elements in
it. When they say architecture is the canvas or a media that control people's
behaviour. Singapore architecture has shown itself as a true masterpiece
that influence those who experience it.

KAH WENG
My favorite city will be Hong Kong as there is always an overlapping of old and new. You
can always see the traces of the old building when you are walking down a street in Hong
Kong. Recently, I can see how the Hong Kong government trying so hard to reshape and
recreate new faces of the city by discovering the different possibilities of the form, usage
and design of a building and how the building create an impact to the public or become an
attraction that able to pull people together. However, it is a must to preserve the old and
allowing the old coexist with the new within a same street. Then the old and new, the
interesting modern building and the old traditional building, will form a really unique image
of the street that embedded in the people mind.
ALEX
I consider Singapore as the best example due to various experience the city
preserve could gave to its user. The combination between various cultures,
ethnic and religion background create a very unique heritage that stands out
on its own, added with the rapid development that is influence by
the western. Singapore has transformed from straits times architecture to
international and modern developed entity or Singapore is ready to welcome
users from all over the world. The transportation system is designed in a way
that it prioritize s pedestrian users.

ALEXIS

Hong Kong is my preferred city due to its survival instincts and ability to adapt. Life in the
city is rough and cut throat, people are constantly in a rush and days are packed to the brim
with activities and deadlines. Hong Kong, as a city, is a mirror image of its people. The
compact buildings, tight spaces and vibrant streets are constantly morphing to adapt to the
challenges faced. The city grows and adapts to the function and flow of the streets as
opposed to being form driven. Instead, the city is a derivation of its people. It is a raw city,
unfinished and honest.

WEI KEAT
In overall, I prefer Singapore as the city to live in due to the rich engagement of green
spaces into the urban context. Wide greeneries are planted all over the street to enhancing
the visual dimension and as natural shading device. The multi-layering of the city which
interconnects the spaces from underground to each floor level which provide multiple routes
for people to access. I also enjoyed indulging in the beautiful landmark of the city especially
in Marina Bay which full with modernity faade double up my interest of living in the city.
