Paya Lebar Waste Boulevard
Abstract
In its raw and unfiltered state, waste semantically holds little value. The thesis envisions a new paradigm of giving waste cultural prominence within the urban fabric of our cities. The waste boulevard manifests opportunities at multiple scales for people to encounter waste in the process of renewal and transformation. It also establishes a visual rhythm and aesthetic language to waste and raises the status of waste to that of an artefact and object of spectacle.
Supervisor Comments
Waste as resource with its lingering negative connotation inspired the main thesis question on how to overcome its denotative aspects and turn waste into an object of admiration, desire and inspiration for urban regeneration. The merger of waste processing with art is defining the public character of the edge between this former industrial area planned for revitalization and densification and the nearby green zone. The design, while deliberately relieved from unnecessary stylishness and stripped down to a functional reminiscence of constructivism, facilitates the transformation of genius loci, the urbanites as Flaneur and waste collection and its artistic manipulation into an amalgamated whole.
