PAM Kuching Bus Stop Competition 2021
PAM Kuching Bus Stop Competition 2021
RE : KBS (Kuching Bus Stop), where 'RE' means RE-invent, RE-shape, and RE-imagine the future bus stop. This project discussed how the daily experience of commuters can be enhanced by redesigning the bus stop as a portal with meaningful activities, joy, and daily needs. As the public bus is getting less attractive due to several factors, such as safety, reliability (punctuality), and services, RE-designing a bus stop that helps to improve customer satisfaction and accessible services is crucial to promote public bus as an attractive mode of transport. Thus, the idea of this project is to transform the conventional bus stop into a more welcoming environment providing the public with a well-considerate and more secure design where it encourages them to use public transport more often. To design a bus stop for the local community in Kuching, a city with rich ethnic culture and history, the proposal was designed in a way it resembles the traditional houses from the local villages. To show the local identity of the city, the decorative side panels and elevated stilts were implemented as part of the bus stop design. The entire bus stop was elevated to prevent rainwater and debris accumulate inside the shelter. Furthermore, as the bus stop needs to be future-proof to adapt to the rapid development world, modular systems designs were incorporated to allow the design to be portable. With this system, modular blocks can be easily manufactured, assembled, dismantle and reuse where they could be built in different site conditions and enhance the circular economy in terms of the construction. With all the design strategies, the proposed bus stop design act as the catalyst, enriching the experience in Kuching city to enhance the lifestyle of the commuters meanwhile promote Kuching as a sustainable city.

Commercial Installation in collaboration with Tailorman Creative
In collaboration with Tailorman Creative, 'The Shape' is a collective of installations that were tailored for birthday/wedding events. Tailorman Creative is a JB based event company that always innovate the mechanism behind event organizing, they interact with clients and provide them with their desired scene for their big day. This project draws from conventional backdrop decors and designs to rethink, restructure and redesign upon preconceived ideas related to the basic idea of geometry such as arches, circles, and solid rectangular shapes. KLO+ takes inspiration from the 'de Stijl' art movement (a Dutch art movement founded in 1917) and abstract geometry that once represent the modern style of the time. The collaboration aims to seek a way to enhance the efficiency of the installation that allows it to be easily assembled and dissemble. Drawing from the playful and energetic concept, KLO+ wanted to create a backdrop for the event that could capture every meaningful moment in life.
