Workshop NUS Singapore

Hawker Centre Singapore Summer University May 2014 This Summer University workshop on the Hawker Centre is a collaboration between the Division of Industrial Design, National University of Singapore and the ECAL / University of Art and Design Lausanne, Switzerland. Hawker Centres are traditional dinning halls where Singaporean gather to eat together daily. More than a restaurant, these places are a real melting pot of cultures in Singapore, mainly between the Chinese, Malays and Indians. The aim of the workshop was to immerse the students for one week in the heart of Singapore’s cosmopolitan culture through the Hawker Centres. ECAL and NUS students worked together and designed objects such as utensils, tableware packagings or signage that improves the experience of customers and cooks. All the prototypes have been produced in the NUS « prototyping lab ». This workshop allowed the students from both universities to share their know-how in the field of industrial design. The result of this research reflects a wide variety of design solutions that improves Hawker Centres in Singapore.

Abla Bolassi Owoussi – Mira

by Abla Bolassi Owoussi

Mira is an interior lamp that explores modularity through a pulley system that allows for adjusting light intensity. The lampshade, made of veneer, subtly transforms depending on the position of the mechanism, playing on both light and shape. This project reflects a need for flexibility in the domestic space and reflects a personal research on the evolving object, halfway between discreet technicality and poetic expression of the material.

Alexandre Li – Diego

by Alexandre Li

Sport has become a key social driver in today’s society, with more and more city dwellers gathering downtown to practice together. Diego is an urban furniture concept designed to tap into this dynamic by bringing football back into the heart of the city. Designed for underused public squares and parks, this project invites people to come together and share public space through sport. With a simple tilt, Diego transforms from a bench into a football goal. Thanks to integrated wheels, it can be easily moved and rearranged to suit the users’ needs. A single module invites spontaneous play, while several combined form a real pitch with goals at each end and seatings for spectators on the side.

Alice Graff – Tijolo

by Alice Graff

In many parts of the Global South, especially in Brazil, building a home sometimes means building it yourself with few tools, limited means, and whatever is at hand. Tijolo was born from this reality. A kit of raw earth bricks, air-dried and made from soil, water, and recycled paper. They interlock in a staggered pattern, without mortar or heavy tools. On their surface, two volumes: designed to clip in cables or pipes no drilling, no breaking. You can change your mind. You can also seal them up, leaving a mark, a rhythm.

Aurélien Clerc – Mirabilis

by Aurélien Clerc

Mirabilis is a research project focused on educational optical instruments designed for naturalist observation. Each tool in this collection is dedicated to a different field of exploration: what lies in the distance, what is very small, and what can be found beneath the surface. It represents a shift in how we look at nature, this time in a literal sense, through visual instruments aimed at supporting curious observers of fauna and flora. The collection includes a monocular, a hand lens, and an aquascope, each of which plays with the principles of optical physics while also illustrating its properties with an educational intent.

Charlotte Jobin – Paco

by Charlotte Jobin

Paco is an urban water fountain designed for both humans and dogs, who are often forgotten in traditional fountains found in cities and parks. To reduce waste, a foot pedal controls the flow : as long as pressure is applied, water is dispensed. Any unused water is collected in a bowl located below, allowing a companion animal to drink. When the user lifts their foot, the water stops, and the bowl empties slowly to prevent stagnant puddles and overflow. Made of cast iron, a durable, weather-resistant material, Paco blends into the public space while strengthening the bond between people and pets.
