Rooted in multidisciplinary collaboration with local stakeholders and technical experts, the research employs a hydrodynamic design approach that co-designs with natural processes. By integrating computational methodologies like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Systems Thinking and Actor-Network Theory, the proposal challenges traditional notions of permanence, offering a nature-based strategy that reimagines the coastline as a dynamic web of interactions between natural and cultural forces. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2656107144166893364243973230011/2-copy.jpg Coastal Metamorphosis Situated within the context of Singapore’s East Coast and the Long Island Project, this thesis challenges the static nature of conventional land reclamation by proposing a framework for adaptive, phased coastal development. Addressing the urgencies of sea-level rise and urban scarcity, the research reconceives reclamation as a scenario-based process that utilizes nature-based solutions and hybrid infrastructures to mediate between dynamic marine systems and fixed urban structures. By leveraging hydrodynamic modeling and geomorphological studies to inform spatial strategies, the project envisions an evolving archipelago—a living, self-adjusting coastal system capable of balancing ecological regeneration with urban resilience in a rapidly changing climate. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2664636754782595798222974176699/3.png From Systems to Patterns and Back This project presents a data-driven framework exploring dynamic patterns in Finnish Lapland and the Arctic Ocean railway to enhance decision-making in complex urban and landscape planning. Addressing the region's increasing environmental and political complexity, the project introduces "CityScope Lapland," a dynamic, evidence-based planning and decision support tool. By designing an agent-based model integrated within the GAMA simulation platform and the MIT CityScope framework, the tool incorporates dynamic variables into spatial analysis. It aims to improve the accessibility of the decision-making process for non-experts through a tangible user interface and real-time visualization of urban simulation results. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2664638328732587143416756260283/4.png Reveries of a Moving Edge Addressing contemporary climate vulnerabilities such as sea level rise, this project shifts the concept of Singapore’s coastline from a fixed boundary towards a fluid, adaptive process.

Aligned with the New European Bauhaus (NEB) principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and aesthetics, UTOPIZE proposes a participatory framework that involves communities in the co-design and governance of public spaces across urban, peri-urban, and rural environments. The project is structured around the concept of UTOPIA, not as a static ideal but as an evolving process of community engagement. Through UTOPIA Labs, citizens co-create and transform their neighbourhoods, utilizing digital tools like Extended Reality (XR) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance real-time urban planning and decision-making. These labs foster inclusivity by involving marginalized communities such as ethnic minorities, low-income populations, people with disabilities, and others at risk of exclusion. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2971711446061588989367936306619/Singapore-Water-Week-Presentation-2.jpg ADAPT The Adaptive Design for AI-Driven Processes in Transforming Dynamic Landscapes (ADAPT) project develops scalable, data-driven design methodologies that transform dynamic environmental processes, such as sedimentation, meltwater flow, and vegetation change, into active drivers of adaptive design.
