The project explores a conceptual framework where humans and non-humans both act as co-producers of architecture. The project explores architecture not just as the act of building, but also the framework for sustainable eco-tourism, and encompasses the ruination (unbuilding) of structure. Instead of seeing nature as foreign and aberrant, the project questions how natural forces can be seen as productive agents instead of destructive ones that architecture is to be insulated from.

The project is sited on the island of Pedra Branca, a rocky outcrop 24 nautical miles off the Eastern coast of Singapore. The island is seen as a landscape that embraces the monsoon season. During the months of April and May, it is proposed as an eco-tourist destination as tourists are drawn to the rich ecosystem and natural processes found on the site. This can create financial sustainability that allows the island to continue its cyclical development.

The project was developed within the context of the National University of Singapore.
