Studio SKLIM's Lo-Hi Tech explores innovative building solutions by blending high and low technologies to create efficient, sustainable hybrid systems. This project aims to address environmental issues and improve human living conditions by combining primitive materials with advanced technology.
The research highlights the convergence of traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, focusing on two main systems: the Ke-Sol System (KSS) and the Terra-Cooling System (TCS). KSS integrates Kenaf fibre biocomposites with solar panels, while TCS uses terracotta for cooling. These systems demonstrate the potential for sustainable solutions, envisioning a future where material systems seamlessly integrate with vehicular infrastructure.
Studio SKLIM的Lo-Hi Tech專案探索了創新的建築解決方案，結合高低技術，創造出高效且永續的混合系統。 該項目旨在透過結合原始材料與先進技術來解決環境問題並改善人類生活條件。
研究重點展示了傳統工藝與現代技術的融合，主要關注兩個系統：Ke-Sol系統（KSS）和Terra-Cooling系統（TCS）。 KSS將黃麻纖維生物複合材料與太陽能板結合，TCS則利用陶土冷卻。 這些系統展示了永續解決方案的潛力，並展望了材料系統與車輛基礎設施無縫整合的未來。
Studio SKLIM
Studio SKLIM is a design practice dedicated to pushing and blurring the boundaries of the built environment, design, and material research to create transformative spaces. Their multidisciplinary approach enables them to explore innovative design concepts that challenge traditional definitions. Sustainability is at the heart of their practice, as they integrate sustainable strategies and future-proof primitive materials for contemporary applications. The studio is based in Singapore and has a presence in India.
Design opportunities are inherent. Studio SKLIM firmly believes these opportunities are waiting to be unleashed or given a new perspective. The organization of “raw materials” in the form of environmental data, typographical conditions, cultural peculiarities, and technological limits forms a new platform from which they initiate these extractions. Fast-changing contemporary life demands a rethink and reorganization of existing spatial parameters, making conceptual clarity and contemporary investigative research instrumental to their design process.
Banality breeds creativity. Each of their projects stems from its unique set of pragmatics and constraints. They believe that the most basic design solutions are intrinsic and can conjure the most complex relationships with this simplicity.
The understanding of materials involves both craft and experimentation. Studio SKLIM likes to play with materials, understanding their sensitivities and sometimes pushing them beyond their boundaries. They identify local crafts and resources to bring context to their work, believing in this mutual learning process to produce for the future.
No person is a design island. They embark on design journeys with clients and consultants as a collective experience to explore market demands, environmental sustainability, design technology, and socio-cultural landscapes, hoping to create built environments that resonate with their design values.
SKLIM 設計工作室致力於推動和模糊建築環境、設計和材料研究的界限，創造變革性的空間。他們的多學科方法使他們能夠探索創新的設計概念，挑戰傳統定義。永續性是其實踐的核心，他們將永續策略和未來適用的原始材料整合到當代應用中。工作室位於新加坡，並在印度設有分部。
設計機會是固有的。 SKLIM 設計工作室堅信這些機會正在等待被釋放或賦予新的視角。 「原材料」以環境資料、地形條件、文化特性和技術限制的形式組織，形成一個新的平台，從而進行這些提取。快速變化的當代生活需要重新思考和重組現有的空間參數，使概念清晰度和當代調查研究對其設計過程至關重要。
平凡孕育創造力。他們的每一個項目都源自於其獨特的實用性和約束條件。他們相信，最基本的設計解決方案是內在的，並且能夠透過這種簡單性產生最複雜的關係。
對材料的理解涉及工藝和實驗。 SKLIM 設計工作室喜歡與材料玩耍，了解它們的敏感性，有時甚至將它們推向極限。他們識別本地工藝和資源，以可能為其作品帶來背景，堅信這種相互學習的過程能夠為未來創造。
沒有人是設計孤島。他們與客戶和顧問一起踏上設計之旅，作為集體經驗來探索市場需求、環境永續性、設計技術和社會文化景觀，希望創造出與其設計價值共鳴的建築環境。
