Servina Kamaputri

Servina has been practicing architecture professionally for more than a decade. Drawing is a way for her to relax while still being productive. Recently, she has been particularly interested in mazes and impossible geometry.

This piece was inspired by the way Singapore is responding to the pandemic. Initially lauded as a model country for its effective safety measures, a sudden outbreak in workers' dormitories in Singapore revealed a blind spot and cast a spotlight on their living conditions. The dormitory outbreaks could have undone efforts to contain the spread of the virus. However, Singapore has shown its resilience by acknowledging the oversight, taking back control and taking tangible steps to improve.

Represented by an infinity cube, this work illustrates an optimistic new way of living based on a positive feedback loop in which past experience is used as input for future intervention. As one of the crucial parts of Singapore's development, the worker’s dorm is envisioned as a capsule habitat, with each linked capsule forming a part of the loop. Instead of being hidden from view, the built environment forms an unbroken link with nature in a constant effort to be better.
