I am a self-proclaimed artist that wants to change the world through design. I am currently an SUTD Freshmore, and highly interested in Sustainable Architecture and Design. My aim is to create the world where buildings are self-sustainable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing, where only possible when design meets technology. I also believe that giving back to the community is the first stepping stone in creating a better world.

Why MESSA?

Sustainable architecture approach that we aim to use attracts me, especially through this I am giving back to the world community.

Hi! I’m Valerene, currently a freshmore in SUTD. Since I was small I have always fancied engaging myself in creative thoughts and dreaming about alternate worlds with futuristic technologies and landscape. Now, I feel like this isn’t such a distant, frivolous thought anymore. I aspire to be part of a new generation of inventors that can actually create a better tomorrow.
 

Why MESSA?
MESSA stood out to me amongst the other projects because of its highly noble cause. I think disaster relief is still a work-in-progress and so much more can be done to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness, especially since it involves human lives.

Hi, I am Zhi Yuan, currently a freshmore in SUTD. I aspired to become an Architect since young. I was amazed by the skyscrapers built around the world and wanted to build my own building in future. I want to bring up the social part of architecture, not only aesthetic.

Why MESSA?

A lot of natural disasters happened around the world. The most important necessities for the victims are having a good quality living condition. There’s room for improvement from the current shelters. I want to improve the living conditions of the disaster victims. I want to make a difference to the world. That motivates me to join MESSA.

I am currently a freshman at SUTD. I hope to become a successful Architect and/or inventor in the near future who is able to develop and design new systems or technology that will benefit people living in developing countries who faces problems that negatively affects their ease of living. This is because I believe that I am educated for a reason and that is to apply every knowledge and skill I acquired over the years to solve problems and improve the standard of living of others.

I am currently an Architecture and Sustainable Design Junior at SUTD. Holding a Natural Sciences degree from Cambridge, I aspire to bring across cool biological ideas and integrate them into the built environment.

Why MESSA?

I think that there is a worrying trend of climate extremes occurring, making natural disasters become increasingly prevalent. Whether man made or not, these occurrences are difficult to prevent, making it crucial we come up with effective mitigation techniques to cope post-crisis. I think we can make a real difference here by developing simple yet effective solutions that will help victims cope with the immediate aftermaths, while at the same time prepare them for long term recovery to get their lives back on track.
