The Anthropocene : Human & Nature

Humans have entered the Anthropocene, a new epoch in which we are the protagonist to global environmental change. This interaction between the Earth and human civilization is not a new issue. Today, Malaysian awareness towards pollution and environmental issue is concerning. Mutalib (2019) believes that the concern to protect the environment and the surrounding areas among Malaysians is still at a low level. In other words, their concern for environmental issues is still minimal. This lack of commitment to ecosystem restoration is concerning as Malaysia has experienced ecosystem loss and damage. Paradoxically, human are keep finding the nature cause according to Hairom (2020), hiking activities are becoming more robust in Malaysia due to the growing awareness of healthy lifestyle practices among Malaysians, continuous improvement on living standards of the citizen and transformation of tourism concepts, health, and wellness.

How architecture can synergize this contradictory needs of human and nature into one?

Architecture as Learning Tool

As the educational model is shifting towards more diverse teaching methods, architecture has a significant opportunity to create those learning environments conducive to collaboration, problem-solving, and deep understanding. By integrating experential learning and hiking activities, creating an experential hiking play structure.

Portal Frame Application

Portal frames are generally lowrise structures, comprising columns and horizontal or pitched rafters, connected by moment-resisting connections. Resistance to lateral and vertical actions is provided by the rigidity of the connections and the bending stiffness of the members, which is increased by a suitable haunch or deepening of the rafter sections. This form of continuous frame structure is stable in its plane and provides a clear span that is unobstructed by bracing

HOW TO EAT WELL AND LIVE WELL?

Salutogenesis Tower : Inception of Healthy Food

Inclusivity

Health may be only look as an essential aspects in life, but it have way bigger context. It have a staggeringly high value, as the global health industry was worth $8.45 trillion in 2018 and it could reach over $10 trillion by 2022. With all the various issue potentially occuring in the unstable future world, health industry may be the next main big economic project that can sustain the time to come.

An idea to kick start the revolution of health industry is through Health-Oriented Development, or HOD. Parallel to Transit-Oriented Development, Health-Oriented Development aims to built a community surrounding a community asset that cities have most often failed to fully leverage, as it have a huge potential to further revolutionize national economic industry. With the development centered around the health centre, it can be a game-changer formula to bring the neverseen health development opporturnity before to the city, and brings its fate to an ultimate future. Salutogenesis tower an approach to wellness focusing on health and not on disease (pathogenesis). Literally, salutogenesis translates to “the origins of health”, from the Latin `Salus meaning Health, and the Greek `Genesis meaning origin or beginning.

A tower that promoting macroeconomic growth in health market and investment. Improved quality of life of the society and environment revolvIng with healthy food. . Nutrition is important for everyone. When combined with being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight, eating well is an excellent way to help your body stay strong and healthy.

Urban food valley will become the connection between the green in the concrete jungle. The main target user is the kids since they were the family-oriented business user. By killing two birds in one stone, this tower also creates a new urban linkage for KL Sentral that always known as the Central Business District for that area. It creates new opportunities by supplying and educating the people with care and knowledge regarding healthing eating lifestyle that become a common issue in today’s worlds. Lastly, health is wealth and by focusing in prevention will be better than cure.

Let food be your medicine and let the medicine be in your food “ ”

Health may be only look as an essential aspects in life, but it have way bigger context. It have a staggeringly high value. Health industry can become a recession resistant economy sector, but it become exclusive due to the cost. To make it inclusive, why dont we change the industry to become prevention industry. Instead of building more hospital, why not we build a healthy world

Prevention is better than cure “ ”
“Health as an accelerator to the new development”

FUTURE

The Issue

Some of the key issues related to healthy food include access to affordable and nutritious options, food literacy and education, and addressing the social and economic factors that contribute to poor dietary choices. Additionally, many food systems globally are facing challenges such as climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, and soil degradation, these challenges greatly impact the availability and affordability of healthy food for many communities. If yesterday famine is the challenges, now we are more at risk of obesity rather than starvation.

Health Oriented Development

Health-centered community model termed “Health Oriented Development” (HOD) has the potential to pioneer an economic development engine through health, an ecologically sound community, and a health promoting environment.

Aquaculture

Process of rearing, breeding and harvesting of aquatic species in controlled aquatic enviroment like the river. Demand is increasing for fish and fish protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries.

As of 2016, more than 50% of seafood was produced by aquaculture. In the last three decades, aquaculture has been the main driver of the increase in fisheries and aquaculture production, with an average growth of 5.3 percent per year in the period 2000–2018, reaching a record 82.1 million tonnes in 2018.

Fishermen cannot go to sea during the monsoon season causing the fish supply to be cut off

Alternative ways are being studied to maintain the supply of fish to the market

Aquaculture begins with a small number of fish and ponds before expanding into a larger variety of fish and ponds

As it grew, fishermen began to diversify aquaculture-based products to the market

This chain creates many job opportunities for locals As a result, the supply of fish to the market can be maintained even during the monsoon season

Revitalize the Urban Landscape : Green Space as Eco-network in

Old Quater,Vietnam

Issue Explanation :

As a mega city, Hanoi is bless with multiple waterbody like river and lake but it also have a huge problems in its current urban development which is the incremental demise of urban greens. It is among the greatest and most urgent issues to deal with due to the intense development in the central of Hanoi. The current green area is unevenly distributed across the city since the green expansion were centralize around the lake that act as the waterbody and it become a good urban landscape system. The roles and benefits of green spaces for Hanoi urban dwellers cannot be denied and on site we can see how the locals are supporting this ideas of increasing the urban greens.

Incremental Demise of Urban Landscape Green area is unevenly distributed

Have local support but didnt have proper green system

We need to secure the green ! Just plant the trees
People shade and socialize under the tree
Greens helps for better air and reduce heat for home

Design Application

Integrating blue green network element including Sky Garden Pod act as mini pond that can be assemble at the centre of the junction of Hanoi central street and the design is elevated from the road due to the space issue, Green Parklet where it act as green pocket space (multifunctional zone) to enhance people socialization and experience and finally logia landscape that act as green building facade. All green element were connected to the water pipe from Hoan Kiem Lake

Ideas

Central Hanoi, as aforementioned, is characterised with high population density and also a high building density (up to 70% in some wards of ten central districts). That means there is not much

Design Statement

Humans, we continuously pour greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and have caused the ocean to receive the impact. The world’s seas have absorbed approximately 90 percent of the warmth from these gases. Expansion of water at higher temperatures and melting ice sheets on the north and south poles cause the rise in sea water level. It has become one of the largest resulting threats to cities round the world. Scientists at the non-profit organisation Climate Central estimate that approximately 275 million people across the globe live in areas that will eventually be flooded at 3°C of this global warming. Asian cities should have worried because based on the data they will be the worst affected by the nature force majeure. Other than that, the ocean is also being threatened by the foremost pressing environmental issues which is the plastic pollution. It is most visible in developing Asian and African nations where the systems are often inefficient or non-existent. Most of the plastic trash within the ocean, Earth’s last sink, flows from the land, puzzled and remains in the coastal water. It has been scientifically proven that over 80% of aquatic pollution is caused by land-based activities. Trapped in the ocean currents, the trash was transported around the world. Both of these issues will be inextricably intertwined in the future and will affect humans.
