Jalan Besar Performing Arts Centre 


Site Location: Jalan Besar/ Beatty Road

The natural quirkiness of the neighborhood, having high rise condominiums and two-storey shophouses with industrial buildings along the site, had to be manifested into the design scheme with careful thinking. The site also had an unusual trapezium shape.

The widening cone shaped profile of the site makes it a natural opportunity for an outdoor auditorium on the ground level. The auditorium provides the platform for the oncoming spaces coupling it. With the above factors in consideration, a form follow function approach was the main rule for design. Issuing the programmes in the spaces is the priority. The design philosophy can also be recognised as an 'inside out' strategy.

Luke Juan

My name is Luke Juan and I am 20 years old. Ever since I was a boy I was inspired by my father to pursue architecture. I started doing 3D modelling on sketchup at the age of 8 and was formally introduced to the practice when I enrolled in to Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Sustainable Urban Design and Technology.
