Meandering Lights

By: Wu Tong, Junjie, Gevin, Karbid

Located close to the sea in the past and Singapore

river at the present, the 141 Arclab has close connections
to water and carries a lot of memories of it. Our design
intends to create a meandering journey like a river flowing
through the shophouse from outside to the inside, the
present to the past, with modulars created with glass
blocks and metal frames and plates. Four nodes are
created along the journey with different scenarios and
views, for creating a narrative about memories and
intriguing people to explore the beauty of the house from
different angles. Stacked glass boxes are used to create
benches at the node 1, 3 and 4, in a curvy shape and with
lights inside. Node 2 is created with boxes hanging. Each
node is designed with memories embedded. The dotted
lines on the ground connect the four nodes, indicating this
invisible ‘river’.
