T for T2

2024

Commissioned by
Changi Airport Group (Singapore)

In this project, students work with a variety of pre-selected materials that have been salvaged from the T2 worksite. Students explored the physical capabilities of these materials, while developing a deeper contextual understanding for the stories and sensibilities that the materials hold. The salvaged materials are re-purposed into new functional objects, these could be a product or small piece of furniture. Bearing in mind that the materials had a past life being part of the airport that delivered the Changi experience through different forms, students appropriated these contextual meanings into their design narrative.
