The Coastal Gateway 2040

Speculative Environments

Supervisor - Mr. Joseph Lim

The Coastal Gateway 2040 attempts to counter the projected reclamation of the historical Pasir Panjang Power Station site by URA, which will inevitably lead to an erasure of a part of the coast’s history, and a lost opportunity in reconciling with the existing industrial landmarks on site. The thesis speculates the Southern Coast landscape as a revival of the future events city, a ‘ Marketplace of Ideas’. The conversion of large former industrial areas and land into international exhibition venues, new urban and transport nodes drives the revitalisation on site. Existing industrial mega-shells on site with be preserved and refurbished, with the site’s adjacencies intensified for high yield mixed use programs.
