(RE)CONNECTIONS 1
This studio project explores the possibility of a connection – material and imagined – across space and time.STudent ProPOSALS
The studio was participated by 27 undergraduates of Nanyang Technological University Singapore from various disciplines including Sociology, Public Policy & Global Affairs, Psychology, Business, Environmental Science, Sports Science, Maritime Studies and Biological Sciences. In teams of four to five people, the students worked on the studio project for five weeks between March and April 2019, as part of the course in Urban Life and Urban Planning (HU2002). With the help of five student volunteers from the course and our librarian, Bella Ratmelia, we have set up this website to curate and share the proposals.

Reconnecting the Past and Present
This project seeks to reconnect the Nantah Arch with the NTU campus, while including the neighbouring community who reside in the vicinity of the arch.
Jurong Grove Trail
More commonly known for its industrial character and remote location, Jurong’s luscious forages and water bodies are often overlooked. Hence, we propose a cycling and running trail that run along the area’s green and blue networks, reinventing existing structures and creating new amenities.

Project Brushstrokes
In creating a connection between the old and new Nantah arches, our group hopes to facilitate reconciliation….
Bloom Trail
Our goal is to bring significance of the original Nantah Arch & NTU to our neighbours in a way that is appealing, as well as to promote social cohesion among the Yunan subzone, in an attempt to increase awareness of NTU’s heritage. Our team proposes to have a 24-hour connection between the historic arch and NTU campus that is fully functional during the day and at night. This will serve to revitalise the link between the school and arch.
