A Step in Time Part 1 Project 2025 Chen Junyu Ryan National University of Singapore | Singapore 'A Step in Time' envisions a quiet space where architecture and nature coexist, continuously evolving through the passage of time. The landscape is shaped by the growth of plants and trees, each progressing at its own pace, creating a constantly changing environment. The architecture responds to this growth, fostering a symbiotic relationship between people and the natural world.The building, with its green perimeter and stepped forms, creates a sanctuary for relaxation and movement. These steps not only serve as a passage through the space but also form diverse landscapes for both people and plants to inhabit. Over time, the mature trees and plants will alter the terrain, offering new experiences for those who explore the space.Designed for activities like yoga, Tai Chi, and walking, the terrain features subtle inclines, indentations, and pockets of interior space tailored to different forms of exercise. The space adapts to the needs of its users while embracing the natural environment. The structure will weather gracefully, hosting a thriving ecosystem and supporting biodiversity. This project is a celebration of time, growth, and the integration of architecture with nature, creating a space that evolves and sustains itself over the years. Tutor(s) Kok Ming Cheah
