CONTENT



This project required us to redevelop a better livable, which fit the future needs of a town called the “X” town. Advisably imagining myself as a mayor of this future town. This project allows us to investigate more about the history of a town that includes ancient town, present town and future town. This is to understand every town’s needs based on the histories and to achieve a better livable town as required, focusing more on how to develop a sustainable, greener town that consist of better facilities and infrastructures.

The “X” town should have 20 – 40 km² of an area with a population between 80,000 to 120,000 people. Divided into a group of five, we chose our town to be located next to a sea on a land.

INTRODUCTION

DEFINITON A town is a place with many streets and buildings, where people live and work. Towns are larger than villages and smaller than cities

These are the largest centres within a local authority area, with the most services and best accessibility and public transport services and will serve a wide area with residents from across the borough, or perhaps in neighbouring boroughs travelling to use the centre. They will often comprise shopping centres and/or large groups of shops. Town centres will also include at least one supermarket and a range of other services including health, leisure, education/community services, library, financial services, post office, cafes, restaurants and other entertainment uses.

HISTORY

The first development town was Beit Shemesh, founded in 1950 around 20 km from Jerusalem.

Built in Israel in order to provide permanent housing to a large influx of Jewish refugees from Arab countries, Holocaust survivors from Europe and other new immigrants (Olim), who arrived to the newly established State of Israel. The towns were designated to expand the population of the country's peripheral areas and to ease development pressure on the country's crowded centre.

Chongwu Ancient Town

Chongwu Ancient Town is located in Quanzhou, a historical city which was reputed for being "one of the largest ports in the world," said Marco Polo, in China's Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368).

Built in 1384 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to fight against the Japanese pirates, the town is the best-preserved T-shaped stone-walled city in China, a historical wonder in the country's coastal protection history. The architecture, featuring the heavy local granite, is a prominent feature of the town. A large sculpture park is located on the narrow strip south of the fortress, between the city wall and the beach. Many foreign visitors are very impressed by the remarkable stone carving artworks.

ANCIENT TOWN

INVESTIGATION & DATA COLLECTION



WHAT MAKES IT A SIGNIFICANT TOWN

Chongwu, the important economic town of south Min with stone carving, fish and travel as 3 pillar industries, is implementing the notion of "Build Economic Zone on the West Coast of the Strait". Chongwu, renowned as stone carving city and largest stone prodution base in China, has more than 300 stone enterprises, there series of carving works and thousands of products which sold far to 20 countries and regions with an export value of 3.4 billion RMB. Chongwu, the firstlevel fishing harbour and top 10 fishing town of Fujian, is declaring the state-level fishing harbour. The marine product is 75 000 tons with a total value of 0.537 billion accounting for



95% of agricultural output value in 2005. Chongwu, the AAAA beauty spot with a 0.5 million person-visits from China and abroad per year, has 5 tourism brand of Fujian such as mountain pass, seascape, ancient city wall and ruins.

Chongwu is the first batch demonstration small town designated by Ministry of Science and Technology and One of the 20 central towns given the priorities to further develop in Fujian Province during the 10th Five-Year plan. Chongwu held many activities such as City Founded 600 Anniversary, Stone Culture Activities, Fishing Culture Activities, Carving Competition. ACHIEVEMENTS After the reform and opening to the outside world, Chongwu has developed from a fishing port into a thriving town in west coast of Taiwan Strait. In 2005, Chongwu was awarded as "2005 CCTV Magical Town". to the cultural progress.



Marina Centre

The Downtown Core is a 266-hectare urban planning area in the south of the city-state of Singapore. The Downtown Core surrounds the mouth of the Singapore River and southeastern portion of its watershed, and is part of the Central Area, Singapore's central business district. It is one of the most dense areas in Singapore, even more than other divisions in the Central Area, to the extent that much of it is filled with skyscrapers. As its name implies, it forms the economic core of Singapore, including key districts such as Raffles Place and key administrative buildings such as the Parliament House, the Supreme Court and City Hall as well as numerous commercial buildings and cultural landmarks.

HISTORY The mouth of the Singapore River contained the old harbour for the Port of Singapore, so naturally, the city grew around it. As a fledgling colony, the area which is now known as the Downtown Core was the financial, administrative and commercial centre of the colony. In 1823, Singapore was reorganised according to the Raffles Plan of Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles, which specified elements like the Commercial Square (now Raffles Place) and the European Town as well as various other commercial and administrative entities located between them. This area later became the Downtown Core.

PRESENT TOWN



WHAT MAKES IT A SIGNIFICANT TOWN HOTEL Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands (LVS), it is the world's most expensive building, at US$ 4.7 billion, including the cost of the prime land.



INFINITY POOL Experience one of the world's most amazing hotel rooftop pools. Stretching an impressive 150 metres across Sands Skypark, the stunning outdoor Infinity Pool designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie is the world's largest at this height and offers the best city-skyline view of of a 5-star hotel in Singapore.

COMMERCIAL AREA The shopping centre has an open atrium structure designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winning architect Philip Johnson, and a wide and spacious interior with lifestyle shops specialising in an array of products and services. Providing a nice respite from shopping is the 280-metre-long private street which offers Singapore's only Park and Dine concept.

Raffles Place is a geographical location in Singapore



ELMENTS FOR FUTURE CITY BUILDINGS INSPIRED BY NATURE ART SCIENCE MUSEUM Discover creativity at its best – through art, science, design, media, architecture and technology.

Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay is a waterside building located on six hectares of waterfront land alongside Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River, purpose-built to be the centre for performing arts for the island nation of Singapore. As one of the world's busiest arts centres, Esplanade offers a wide range of programmes. ,



Gardens by the Bay brings to life Parks' vision of creating a City in a Garden. The Gardens captures the essence of Singapore as the premier tropical Garden City with the perfect environment in which to live and work - making Singapore a leading global city of the 21st century.

Sustainability in the Gardens Underlying the concept of Gardens by the Bay are the principles of environmental sustainability. Much effort was made to plan and design for sustainable cycles in energy and water throughout Bay South Garden. Energetics of the Conservatories Comprising two glass biomes, the Conservatories replicate the cool-dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid sub-tropical regions and the cool-moist climate of the Tropical Montane region. They house a diverse collection of plants that are not commonly seen in this part of the world and are of high conservation value. The conservatories are a statement in sustainable engineering and apply a suite of cutting-edge technologies for energy-efficient solutions in cooling. This suite of technologies can help to achieve at least 30% savings in energy consumption, compared to conventional cooling technologies.



1) Minimising Solar Heat Gain The two conservatories are fitted with specially selected glass that allows optimal light in for plants, but reduces a substantial amount of heat. The roof is fitted with a sensor-operated retractable sails that opens automatically to provide shade to the plants when it gets too hot. 2) Cooling only the occupied zones The Conservatories apply the strategy of cooling only the lower levels, thus reducing the volume of air to be cooled. This is achieved through thermal stratification – ground cooling by chilled water pipes cast within the floor slabs enabling cool air to settle at the lower occupied zone while the warm air rises and is vented out at high levels. 3) De-humidifying the air before cooling To reduce the amount of energy required in the cooling process, the air in the Flower Dome is de-humidified by liquid desiccant (drying agent) before it is cooled. This desiccant is recycled using the waste heat from the burning of the biomass. 4) Generating energy and harnessing waste heat Electricity is generated on-site to run the chillers that cool the Conservatories. At the same time,

waste heat is captured in the process to regenerate the liquid desiccant. This co-generation of energy is achieved by the use of a Combined Heat Power (CHP) steam turbine that is fed by horticultural waste from the Gardens and other parks around Singapore. This reduces dependency on the electrical grid

Acontemporary twin-tower integrated mixed-use development (comprising residential accommodation, offices, a hotel and a retail gallery). DUO will be directly connected to the Bugis MRT station served by the East West Line and upcoming Downtown Line via underground pedestrian linkways, providing easy access to the Central Business District, Marina Bay and major shopping, dining and entertainment areas at Orchard Road and the Singapore River.

FUTURE TOWNS & BETTER TOWNS



MARINA ONE A mixed-use development bounded by Marina Way and Straits View in Marina South, Singapore. The area has been earmarked by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to be a vibrant new growth area for residential, commercial and lifestyle activities.[1]

An estimated net floor area of 140,000 square feet retail podium in the centre of Marina One will offer gastronomic and lifestyle options. The centerpiece of The Heart will be a biodiversity garden which Christoph Ingenhoven has envisioned as a sanctuary and a green civic space for communities to come together at the heart of Singapore’s new CBD. RESIDENTIAL

Singapore will increase its land area to 766 square kilometers through land reclamation from the sea. Most of the reclamation will be done at Tekong and Tuas islands, with additional reclamation points beyond 2030 including Marina East, Changi East, and Pasir Ris.



TRANSPORTATION

THE CIRCLE LINE This underground line is 35.7 kilometres (22.2 mi) long with 31 stations (excluding Bukit Brown) and is fully automatically operated.[1] It takes about one hour to travel from one end to the other. The Circle Line is the first medium capacity line in Singapore.

ELMENTS FOR FUTURE CITY “CITY IN A GARDEN”

MARINA ONE It will feature an array of lush greenery at the centre of the development comprising waterfalls and rooftop gardens.[3] Marina One will bring to life Singapore’s ‘City in a Garden’ concept with a unique garden ecosystem within the development, providing a

sanctuary and green space for communities amid the hustle and bustle of the CBD.



“The green heart”, a green concept that makes you have a better place to live. Why? Fresh air everywhere! Heart represents how the town loves you therefore it will take care of your safety as well. The calming view of the sea, parks where families can gather and relax, beautiful botanic garden especially for people who loves to take photos, greener electricity and transport. It’s all that you have ever dreamed to live for. The buildings are mostly inspired by nature, you would never get bored while strolling around the town surrounded by amazing architectures and as seen from above, 80% if the town will be green.

THE NEW “X” TOWN



This building will be designed to cope with a range of natural and manmade disasters. Although the brief is to build a disaster resistant building, not all possible disasters can be designed for. But for those that can, Safe House will be able to provide either a temporary or permanent solution. Each possible disaster will be catered for in some way. There are no priorities for this, simply because the technology used must be transferable to other regions of the world, with different stresses from differing threats.
