CHAR YONG ASSOCIATION

REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS

Drawing from the vision of the Char Yong Association and Foundation, our scheme seeks to capitalise on the values of instilling traditional culture in the offspring of the Hakka community in Singapore. Through architecture, we seek to create a prominent and welcoming beacon in and around Geylang. Conceptually, we would lift up our protective Tulou, in order to welcome the community surronding the new Association Building. 

The form follows the ideologies of the earth dwelling, in its metaphysical and concept of community. The intersection between Tulou and landscape is encapsulated in our design. Terracing elements of the Landscapes of Char Yong, is introduced through the tierd garden spaces that take inspiration from the elements used in the construction of Tulou such as bamboo that was used to fortify its walls, to the Half-moon ponds that fronts various notable Tulous in and around Dabu County.
