Looking For a Mentor
Being a recent architecture graduate, I would appreciate a mentor that will guide me on how to foster connections within the industry through networking and putting myself out there. Moreover, as I pursue job prospects, any guidance on portfolio work and presentation would be of much help. I am also interested in learning/ gaining insight about the industry (the technicalities, tips and tricks, the path to registration...).

Tales of Encounters: A Staging of Unnoticed Voids

Tales of Encounters is a staging of the unnoticed voids within the city - fallen into the ordinaries of the everyday, underutilised, and remarked upon as uninviting and unappealing.

By setting the city as a stage and transpiring tales through a sequence of encounters, this thesis suspends itself in the thresholds between fictional storytelling and architectonic realities.

Each site becomes a framework to facilitate a spatial narrative theme and programme - characterising an architecture of exchange, suspense, mystery, romance, and fantasy.

What unfolds is a spatial promenade infused by the insertion of a narrative lens through dispersed sites - ultimately reimagining these marginal architectural spaces into something worth noticing.
