Yu Chuan is a founding member of Tembusu College and currently pursuing a Masters in Architecture in NUS.

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.

In our busy lives, too often we end up running and running, without knowing where exactly we are heading to, why we are doing it, and what our true desires are anymore.
What would happen if we stopped for a moment? What if we could slow down to breathe, to pause and to look at our lives from different points of view?
Through the help of creative tools and inspirational images, this experiential encounter will guide you into an authentic, interactive and non-judgmental dialogue with other participants, but most importantly, with yourself.
All are welcome – this is also a Special Event for UTC2101 “Time and Life”

A man of illimitable optimism and “a firm believer in doing what can be done now”; this is how Captain Budi Soehardi is often described. Captain Soehardi is a Singapore-based airline veteran pilot. Besides his passion for flying, he spends almost all his leisure time in Community Service.
Captain Soehardi and his wife, Peggy, founded a children’s home in one of the poorest areas of Indonesia, prompted by the conflict in East Timor back in 1999. Today, Roslin Orphanage in West Timor provides food, shelter and education to more than 70 children. For his efforts, he was awarded CNN’s Top 10 Heroes of 2009.
Captain Soehardi’s salary goes toward the maintenance of the orphanage. In order to cut cost and attain self-sufficiency, he had his first foray in irrigation despite not having any prior knowledge in agriculture. As of today, the rice the children feed on comes solely from their own land.
