It's A Jungle Out There!

Transformative, Wild, and Unpredictable. “It’s a Jungle Out There” sets to challenge conventional planning within a neoliberal capitalist hegemony. Starting from CJ Lim’s methodology, the urban studies teem with eclectic issues and narratives pertaining to Jurong-East. Propelling us towards a “creative economy”, the approach is intimate.

As we fulfil people’s desire for spatial appropriation, the “smallness” of an individual is set against the “bigness” of the CBD.  The emerging 2km urban route becomes a counter-narrative which reacts to emerging spatial practices, framing the multiplicity of programmatic flux. It features new typologies of temporary dwellings, workspaces, and urban sanctuaries – creeping beneath the elevated train tracks to form a vertebrate organisation through repetitions of adaptive frames and envelopes.

Its essence embraces the diverse and pluralistic society where the city becomes a place and space for every individual. Infrastructure itself thus becomes an agent to do something, with sufficient flexibilities to accommodate growth and massive scale programmes.
