The Hands That Fix Things
-A quiet reflection on unseen labor, the poem honors the patient hands that maintain, repair, and preserve the structures that allow everyday life to continue.
The leak appearswithout ideology.
A slow dark circlespreading in the ceiling.
Water does not askwho owns the roof.
Someone notices first.
Not dramatically.
Just a pausebeneath the stain.

WOII | Week 4 & 5: Design Analysis and Field Trip
ALT
ALTThe activity was focused on how objects can be sorted and categorized. According to this blogpost, “Thematic analysis is a way to understand qualitative data quantitatively, especially when there’s lots of it. It works by interpreting meaning from individual data points called fragments to create themes.” said by Sam Hall in this case, it would be exploring the theme of its usefulness and how entertaining the object is and at the same time considering their lifespan.
By applying the How Design Means framework into to my 1/64 diecast cars would be the fact that they are well crafted and at the same time materially interesting. The very subtle details on a very small scale model makes them memorable especially when every detail came into consideration especially when even the tiny door handles was not spared. This level of details has transformed the 1/64 diecast model cars into more than just toys but an artifact.
ALTWith consideration from the class activity, the vintage car found in New Bahru was chosen as a meaningful addition to the thematic analysis grouping. It aligns perfectly with the themes of usefulness and entertainment, which provides a real world connection to show how specific mechanical designs can transition from an actual form of transportation into a form of art that one can admire.

ALTBased on the theme of structures, i have observed that there are consistent use of arches can be seen in New Bahru. The process and purpose would be to manage structure load and at the same time also create an element of rhythm, “even the little U-shaped motifs perched on the pillars. These added to the charm of the site, which we all agreed needed to be retained and seen as part of the larger design language of the site,” said by Tiah.

World of ideas & imagination — AY25.26 WOII
week 4-5
Week 4 and Week 5 felt very connected to me. In Week 4, my group tried to categorise objects using the spectrum Function and Identity, and Organic and Artificial. At first it seemed simple, but once we started discussing, I realised that most objects do not fully belong to only one side.
Some objects that look purely functional actually reflect identity and personal taste. For example, something as simple as a cap or a bag can communicate lifestyle and individuality, not just use. The same goes for materials. Something that looks artificial can still feel organic because of its texture, imperfections, or the way it was produced. This made me understand that categorising is not about being correct, but about how we interpret meaning and relationships between objects.
During Week 5, I applied this way of thinking during the field trip. I paid closer attention to medium, process, and craftsmanship. Two installations stood out to me. The first was the hanging textile piece. You could clearly see the knitting and weaving process, which made the work feel very handmade and time consuming. The texture, colour variation, and visible stitching showed the presence of the maker. It looked like an everyday object but enlarged and suspended in space, which changed its original function completely. Instead of being something wearable or practical, it became something spatial and sculptural. For me, this connects to the idea of transformation, where textile shifts from functional material into expressive installation.
The second was the woven light installation. The material felt natural and organic, almost like a cocoon, but it was placed within an industrial metal structure. The contrast between the soft woven form and the rigid artificial frame made the work more powerful. When the light turned on, the woven surface became warmer and more transparent, creating a different atmosphere in the space. It was not only about the object itself, but also about how it interacted with the surrounding structure and environment. . Through these two weeks, I started to slow down and think more deeply about why certain materials are chosen, how process affects meaning, and how context changes the way we experience design
