She received her certifications from the International Institute for Bau-biologie and Ecology in New Mexico, USA.

WHAT IS ARCHICRAFT?

Archicraft in Archifest 2018 is a series of curated workshops, organized in carefully curated architectural space or buildings, that provides the opportunity for participants to delve into a variety of disciplines in society and their interaction with architecture. These series of workshops are aimed at empowering participants to adopt an active role in becoming 'agents for change' in our living environment.

There is a total of 5 workshops to choose from; from learning how building pollutants affect the environment to learning how to compose a thought-provoking architectural photograph or even to growing your very own personal ‘farm’.

Proudly curated by the architecture student society of Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) Architecture Student Society (SUTDIO).
