De alguma forma previ nosso fim quando me foi custoso relembrar das suas manias, mesmo que tivesse te visto um dia antes. Esquecer você é instantâneo e vagaroso, em alguns dias vacilo ao dizer seu nome e em outros até mesmo deixa de ser teu. Se torna apenas mais um nome tão comum numa cidade tão grande quanto a nossa. Sei que esqueci o toque, o hálito e o perfume, mas é só estar perto de algo similar que tudo retorna como uma música que há muito não ouço e não esqueci a letra ainda. Não há retorno para nós, eu sei. Eu soube. É isso que você quis dizer sem palavras naquele corredor em que voltou a ser quem era antes de mim, indo embora para não voltar mais, envolto por uma nuvem de fumaça que me afasta, sem arrependimento. Amor quando acaba é como fumaça se espalhando, antes tão evidente e depois um rastro embranquecido no ar. Até se tornar nada. Até parecer que nunca existiu.

Daniel Soh, Winner Stage 1 Co-Lab Sustainability Prize 2023

Mackintosh School of Architecture

'Being An Architect in the Anthropocene' was a project for GSA Co-Lab 1. The theme for this project was 'Recycle and Re-use'. Daniel explored fabric as an unconventional building material. Recycling this material and using it for construction can lead to plugging a considerable gap in the circular economy loop for both fashion and architecture. Research and testing were carried out to explore the possibilities of recycled fabric as a construction material and possible ways in which fabric may sorted, assembled and disassembled in an architectural setting. Proposing to place the pavilion near H&M on Buchanan Street created a visual reminder of the waste produced by fast fashion. The pavilion also served as a communal space for commuters along their journey. The fabric used in the pavilion served to dampen sounds from traffic and enabled the framing of views of Buchanan Street while still offering privacy to commuters resting within. Detailed investigations were carried out to ensure each component of the pavilion could be sourced locally and had a designated way to be recycled once the pavilion had reached the end of its life. Given the temporal nature of the pavilion, some components could be borrowed from existing construction sites in the vicinity. Daniel believes collaboration and planning could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our economy and ensure that one man's waste could indeed be another's treasure.

Studioworks1 P3 Social Architecture in the Global South

Daniel also investigated social sustainability in his individual research project for Studioworks 1. In-depth research into social architecture from around the world, including the PREVI Social Housing Project in Lima, Peru and the Alexandra Road Social Housing Project in London, UK. Taking this understanding, he further investigated an informal settlement slated to be cleared in Dharavi, Mumbai, India. In his studies, he detailed the macro growth and formation of informal settlements and the micro development of individual dwellings within the settlement. The vernacular and incremental nature of the buildings created a vibrant social setting for its inhabitants. Daniel is convinced that we could learn from their values and practices. Further studies and drawings were done to illustrate the social dynamic within the informal settlements and the complex nature and issues when governments intervene via slum upgrading or clearing. Considering half of the building stock has yet to be built - projected to be in cities of the global south, studying, understanding and collaborating with stakeholders and residents is essential to designing a future where everyone has access to disaster-resistant, socially abundant and ecological buildings.
