The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

Yu Chuan is a founding member of Tembusu College and currently pursuing a Masters in Architecture in NUS. He prefers to approach architecture from a humanist stance, often finding inspiration from the fields of anthropology, sociology and technology. He will be sharing how the study of time inspired some of his architectural works, which have been presented internationally and exhibited locally.

Besides academic pursuits, Yu Chuan has also worked on several local community projects, such as the Singapore Sports Hub, Tampines Town Hub and the Bedok Integrated Complex, which was nominated for this year’s World Architecture Festival Award. He is happy to share his views about these projects and how the designs are derived through an understanding of Singaporeans and our society.

This Fellow’s Tea counts as a Special Event for the Senior Seminar on Time and Life
