Introduction
My research interests are narrative, exhibition, and everyday architecture, which drive me to community engagements and temporary architectural projects while integrating various media within the environment. Currently I am pursuing my PhD in Architecture at the University of Nottingham within the Architecture, Culture and Tectonics Research Group. The research topic revolves around the position of inscriptions in the authors-readers dynamic to push forward the post-museum context.

Narrative, as one of the closest aspect to human experience, is sometimes overlooked because of its subtlety with everyday life. The study of its representation, narratology, discusses the manner of selling space and time as a series of interconnected events instead of independent occurrences. It offers an interesting view in rethinking architectur...
This paper explores inscription as a projection of the spatial dynamics of a setting, beyond a historical or cultural symbol in a context, and highlights that inscription—a written or carved message on a surface—is an element that immaterially demonstrates a more in-depth narrative of an interior. This paper focuses on exploring inscriptions embedd...
This paper explores the implementation of narrative learning in first-year architectural design studios and how it can amplify the making, communicating and reflecting aspects of the study. In particular, this paper examines the estrangement technique, which enables an objective view of a story and its telling. The technique allows the students to...
There is no escape from time; that includes architecture which dominantly discusses the space. This paper aims to explore more about our understanding of the various times within space and its corresponding stories. Notably, this study looks at the context of the narrative environment where stories are imbued in space to enhance their engagement wi...
This paper investigates the value in material expression that reveals the material resource flow through terrazzo making process. The potential of the patterning process as a vital practice in terrazzo making is posed through attention to the use of salvaged elements and fragmented pieces of the material. They are an essential part of circular econ...
This paper argues the importance of traditional, local bricks-making production as a convergence of craftsman, material, and environments. The relationship between those three aspects brings meanings to the brick, emphasise on the process of making beyond its property as a physical material. This paper focuses on the forming phase of the brick-maki...
Patient safety in a healthcare environment is crucial. They are vulnerable to Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) that can be gained through contact with a surface in the healthcare facility. Cleaning with disinfectant performed as the main procedure on the routine basis to cope with the infection contamination. However, the wider the surface th...
Images of buildings as architectural projects could be established through public perception and judgment. The ease of access to their online publications encourages public discourse on urban architecture and allows people to experience architecture without direct interaction. Eventually, the way the buildings are perceived, experienced, and judged...
In this era of connectivity, any forms of information can be easily accessed through the emergence of various media. This phenomenon affects how people access economic activities, public services, and everything becomes interconnected. This connectivity issue requires human to be able to do their activities in such limited time and efficiently. Liv...
