Book excerpt: A supernatural detective in Singapore tries to save his wife—and the universe—in this “thoroughly original fantasy” by the author of Snake Agent (Publishers Weekly). Detective Inspector Chen is getting used to visiting Heaven. It is a peaceful place, but the eerie calm and ever-present scent of peaches make him yearn for the chaos of Singapore Three. He has come to visit Mhara, the Emperor of Heaven, who ascended to the celestial throne after his father went mad and launched an ill-advised invasion of Hell. Order has been restored to the cosmos, and Mhara is characteristically serene, but trouble is lurking for this handsome young god. Someone is trying to kill the Emperor of Heaven, and Chen does not have his demonic partner, Zhu Irzh, to fall back on. Zhu Irzh has vanished, Chen’s wife is in danger, and a psychotic Bollywood star is on the warpath. It’s another day in the office for the occult detective—a day that, if he doesn’t restore order quickly, could be the universe’s last. The Shadow Pavilion is the fourth of the five Detective Inspector Chen Novels, which begin with Snake Agent and The Demon and the City.

Book excerpt: Timber in architecture has been used for millennia, from the original huts and pit dwellings, through to today's modern structures. Through the years the main advances have primarily been the sophistication with which timber can be shaped and joined. In recent years, modern materials such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), and new and more accurate fasteners and synthetic glues have allowed for adaptations to these practices due to the increased strength and stability of the timber used. However, in the digital realm, the main advances are with sizeable, highly specialised machines that mill large members, and smaller, less sophisticated milling machines for sheet materials, without much development in between. This thesis serves to 'hack' the usage of a simple, less sophisticated three-axis CNC machine to achieve what would typically require a far more expensive and specialised machine. The thesis proposes a new and updated fabrication methodology using smaller timber members and intricate jigs to mill them. This methodology allows problems to be faced, such as the use of complex profiles and extended lengths of timber, which wouldn't pose a problem on larger and more expensive machines. This is achieved through thorough testing of conceptual designs using CAD software and physical modelling for both sun/shadow studies, as well as structural analysis of various joints and designs in an attempt to design-out problems such as screw placements. The project aims to develop a low cost, timber fabrication methodology that can be widely applied. The implementation of this fabrication methodology was tested through various concept designs, using a fully developed design as a 1:1 case study on a selected site. The physical construction of the final design allowed for all matters involved to be explored with full implementation. The final Cowan Bay pavilion makes up the majority of this thesis and is a worked example of how the fabrication methodology can be applied.

Part Three presents thirty built projects by celebrated architects and landscape architects from five continents. These constructions illustrate a wide variety of functions and scales and cover various climatic zones and cultural contexts. All structures are constructionally and systematically analyzed with texts, true-to-scale drawings, and photographs from their foundations to their connections and the shadows they cast.
