PROCESS DIAGRAMS
High levels of noise from ongoing traffic will be blocked by trees surrounding the site.
South/ south-west facing curtain walls and fenestration to minimise use of artificial lighting
Wind diffuses as it passes the West-oriented communal courtyard, and creates opportunities for passive ventilation and cooling.
Sunpath diagram illustrates the need of fenestration in the south-facing facade to maximise passive heating.
Bridging system connects the self build houses and apartment units together via a lush green garden.
FORM FOLLOWS FICTION: A JOURNEY THROUGH ORGANISATION AND FORMWORK
A design process is very much a like the way people interact with space, which is a never-ending loop of back and forth actions and motions until a desirable result is achieved. The interactive mini-game below depicts the journey so far in designing UNPACKED. The sketches and diagrams must be matched to the appropriate captions, in order to decipher the sequence through my thought process.

Evidently, the design is far from its completion. As suggested in the planar diagrams, the surrounding vacant buildings possess great potential for developing further schemes and programmes to enrich this project. A denser housing scheme is also in the works, while increasing the diversity of the population, also enhances the sense of community within the residents.
The diagrams shows the differentiation of space and how the user's daily journey goes within the proposed housing units.
