preface

Sustainability in Urban Manifestos is a compilation of selected projects by students in the Advanced Urban Design Studio (M.Arch 01), from March-July 2016. For this semester, the Masters of Architecture students at UiTM visited Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to work on the urban structure of these cities. This Advanced Urban Design Studio challenges the post-graduate students to demonstrate the understanding and ability to design and conceptualize an architectural/urban project in their selected cities, with the emphasis on inserting small size urban incubators that contain programmes reflecting the potentialities of these spaces.

A key feature in this publication is its emphasis on climatic and sustainable strategies, adapted by each proposed projects, in response to the urban environment. The importance towards greener and sustainable future have entered common parlance in these recent, intervening years. Hence, integrated in students' urban design projects.

Bitexco Financial Tower, one of the tallest in Ho Chi Minh City

overview:

ho chi minh city (saigon)

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is Vietnam at its most dizzying: a highoctane city of commerce and culture that has driven the country forward with its pulsating energy. A chaotic whirl, the city breathes life and vitality into all who settle here, and visitors cannot help but be hauled along for the ride. From the finest of hotels to the cheapest of guesthouses, the classiest of restaurants to the tastiest of street stalls, the choicest of boutiques to the scrum of the markets, HCMC is a city of energy and discovery. Wander through timeless alleys to incense-infused temples before negotiating chic designer malls beneath sleek 21st-century skyscrapers. The ghosts of the past live on in buildings that one generation ago witnessed a city in turmoil, but now the real beauty of the former Saigon's urban collage is the seamless blending of these two worlds into one exciting mass, creating a dynamic urban sphere in very special sense. The downtown area, still referred to as Saigon, is growing at a rate that will equal Tokyo by 2020. If Hanoi is the political capital of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the commercial heart and a magnet for foreign investors. Progress aside, Saigon is steeped in tradition, a living monument to the past that wears its culture proudly on its sleeve. Decorated with colonial and French style architecture throughout the city, Saigon houses a unique mixture of past and present.

Turtle Tower, located in the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake - Hanoi Old Quarter

overview:

hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital lies in the North of the country and is one of the country's top tourist hot spots. It offers French-colonial architecture, a rich food culture and a long history (the city celebrated its millennium in 2010.) The most well-known and important districts in Hanoi are Ba Dinh District - where the government offices are located; and Hoan Kiem District - which is considered the city's business hub and main tourist destination; and both districts are situated in the heart of the Old French Quarter. As the oldest continuously developed area of Vietnam, Hanoi's Old Quarter has a history that spans 2,000 years and represents the eternal soul of the city. The Old Quarter began to acquire its reputation as a crafts area when the Vietnamese attained independence in the 11th century and King Ly Thai To build his palace there. Because inhabitants of each street came from the same village, streets developed a homogeneous look. The Old Quarter has a rich religious heritage. When the craftsmen moved from outlying villages into the capital, they brought with them their religious practices. They transferred their temples, pagodas and communal houses to their new location. Therefore, on each street in the Old Quarter there is at least one temple. Now, many of the old temples in the Old Quarter have been transformed into shops and living quarters, but some of the old buildings' religious roots can still be recognized by the architecture of their roofs.

Urban hangout : enhancing the culture 3 Hanoi is in many ways meets the characteristics of an ideal 21st century city eminently walkable, friendly, entertaining, hip, young, tolerant, and inexpensive. Its old neighbourhoods are a Jane Jacobs triumph of mixed-use economic dynamism and eyes-on-the-street for safety. Retail, restaurants, and business services squeeze into the narrow ground-floor street fronts while residents live in wildly assorted houses above. Except for few hours between midnight and dawn, Hanoians seem constantly on the move-eating, drinking, making things, selling things, playing badminton and chess, laughing, talking, hustling-pretty much all in the place. This project is to create new typologies of lifestyle for the community in this area. The culture of living itself can be a strong element to enhance the beauty of the city by injecting a few programs involving community and tourist. As a backpackerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hub for tourist, Hoan Kiem District has a potential to develop as a main attraction in Hanoi.

by : Ahmad Farhan Izhan Abd Wahab

4 Hanoi city has its own potential to be developed to be a great city due to its cultural richness. A Brazilian politician, Jaime Lerner stated that the secret to the city is integration, where every area of the city should comprises the combination of work, leisure and culture. if one is to separate these functions into parts, the spint of the city will cease to exist. The challenge for Hanoi city development is how to achieve a sustainable

balance and integration between these three components - work, leisure, and culture. This proposal, views the leisure element as a main event and the other two as the secondary events. The concept of leisure is being emphasized in this project to capitalize festivities series that identify this as Hanoi festival tourism district. With the integration of stimulation and creativity of leisure elements, the conception of leisure shall

manage to create an interesting festival scheme. Freedom is embedded as the core aspect of leisure for the scheme. As stated by Geoffrey G., â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leisure is living in relative freedom from the external compulsive forces of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture and physical environment so as to be able to act from internally compelling love in ways which are personally pleasing, intuitively worthwhile, and provide a basis for faith.â&#x20AC;?

EMBARA: SAIGON’S YOUTH ARCADIA 27 Embara is a classical Malay word for wayfaring. The act of a wayfaring stranger or a wayfarer traveling on foot. A wayfaring man; travelling, journeying, walking, hiking, rambling, touring; wandering, roaming, roving, drifting, nomadic, itinerant, peripatetic. Wayfarer are practitioners of the city, for the city is made to be walked. A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language. Just as language limits what can be said, architecture limits where one can walk, but the wayfarer invents other ways to go. Embara is an approach to reconstruct the relationship of the city and the human subject. As a concept, wayfaring is used as a strategy to enhance the user experience in both solids and voids, public and private spaces. The two main street that runs parallel in the site will act as ‘eureka’ on the ground level, sprawling out its energy horizontally and vertically throughout the urban blocks.

28 Come October 2016, a “New Urban Agenda” will be approved at “Habitat III” placing culture at the centre of the debates on sustainable urbanism. In order to confront the challenge of wider cultural amalgamation, this urban acupuncture aspire to instill new urban typologies for living, knowledge sharing, and profit making. Ho Chi Minh City commonly known as Saigon or by the abbreviations HCMC or HCM is the former capital of the Republic of Vietnam Once dearly called Diamond of the Far-east, Saigon is now the most populated city in Vietnam. Modern office skyscrapers, amidst Oriental style pagodas and food stalls along the street, create a dynamic urban sphere in very special sense.

If Hanoi is the political capital of Vietnam, Saigon is the commercial heart and a magnet for foreign investors. New businesses ventures and ambitious development projects are poppping up each year. Traffic is heavy, dense and never-ending, but you can always find locals lounging at streetside coffee vendors, content to admire the passing free-for-all. Progress aside, Saigon is steeped in tradition, a living monument to the past that wears its culture proudly on its sleeve. Decorated with colonial and French style architecture throughout the city, Saigon houses a unique mixture of past and present.

Lies in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, the proposed urban footprint perimeter belongs to District 1 which is regarded as an animated central urban district with highest living standards of the city in every aspect. This belief is expressed clearly in the saying: “Ăn Quan 5, nam Quan 3, múa ca Quan 1” which means “Eat in District 1, stay in District 3, entertain in District 1”. Covering up to 24 acre, the site house two streets with the highest prices of land using right in this biggest city of Vietnam namely Nguyen Hue Boulevard and Dong Khoi Street.

// dilemmas + potentialities // Graph below demonstrate the urban issues in Downtown Saigon. The existing land use distribution as illustrated above is obtained by placing a 5x5 meter grid on the urban fabric. These series of squares are then calculated to give an impression of the existing land use budget of the area.

Gentrification is a global urban phenomenon whereby underdeveloped areas are transformed. The process is often coupled with rising rents, a shift in the social fabric of neighbourhoods, and in many cases, the influx of multinational corporations [5]. To some it implies the beautification and positive development of previously underdeveloped areas. However, it goes hand in hand with the negative effects of lower-income residents being priced out in favour of those who can afford increased rent prices caused by the process of rapid transformation. “Segrification” is a combination of “gentrification” and “segregation”. The term describes the phenomena that occurs when rising rents cause families to move away or prevent individuals of diverse socioeconomic

brackets to have access to affordable housing. “Segrification” describes the process, not only in Downtown Saigon but very much common in big cities throughout the world, by which gentrification increases the cost of living, resulting in a diminishment of racial and income diversity. There is a pressing need to reform the urban typologies for living, knowledge sharing, and profit making of the place that which embrace the existing local culture in order to de-gentrify Downtown Saigon as it is today. The newly opened pedestrian boulevard however, apart from being a public realm also serve as urban stage to house major festivities such as Tet Festival and the annual flower festival. The verticality of urban blocks and sense of grandeur are strong forces at the site. As the city becomes denser, buildings tend to grow taller for it is the best mechanism to increase the strata of the land in accommodating the ever expanding businesses. This phenomena contributes to the amalgamation of urban skyscrapers and colonial or French style architecture in the heart of Saigon.

This act of spontaneity can have significant effects by interrupting the expected narratives of daily life, shifting perspective, and forming unexpected connections. This unexpected connections or â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban spontaneityâ&#x20AC;? refers to the importance of occasionally engaging in unpredictable events in our cities, as opposed to moving

through them with expected, predictable patterns of behaviour. The element of surprise is an important one in discovering new ways of seeing our streets. Actions like flash mobs, street dancing, impromptu conversations with strangers, and unplanned behaviours in our everyday lives play an important role in our sense of ownership of our own streets and help promote a healthy connection to our sense of freedom and expression in public space.

// ecological design // To encourage intensity of land uses via mixeduse development plans. A mixed-use development discourages single land use zoning and encourages higher density development. Integration between mixed use of sites and the building uses will help promote sustainability of the place. It will encourage people to walk to their daily activities. This reduces the need to travel by private vehicle or public transports as their daily needs can be easily accessed within the development. UHI refers to

a phenomenon where the cities and townships are significantly warmer than their surrounding areas. The UHI can be reduced by providing more shade trees at streets and vegetation on roof tops as well as external facades of buildings. As a general rule, 10% increase in vegetation cover reduces the temperature by about three degrees, hence providing a cooling effect to the surrounding environment. The building orientation has a huge impact on heating, lighting and cooling costs.

In hot humid climate, solar influence on energy consumption in buildings is significant; therefore design strategies are focused on reducing heat gain. Both passive and active design strategies should be given priority to reduce heat gain in buildings. Increase the harnessing of sunlight through block orientation (compact development) and building orientation (natural ventilation, prevailing winds and wind zone).

// urban system // In an age of accelerating change, cities are the new nations. Cities are the infrastructures that most define us. By 2030, more than two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities. And these are not mere little dots on the map, rather vast archipelagos stretching hundreds of kilometres. The way cities around the world are expanding today somehow has become the accepted worldview of how a 21st Century future living should be.

Yet our definition of urbanity is steeped in certain tropes that do not support the full range of informal urban activity. This study is nothing more than a humble attempt to draws on theory but focused on real-world problem in search of authentic future living. I would argue that the biggest challenge of our time is to open one’s mind in understanding the historical context and real journey toward the realisation of our current secular society in the urban environment.

space simulacrum : a paradox of conceptual novelty 43 Space Simulacrum is a manifesto of architectural protest against unjust access and usage restrictions posed on prime public realm, in the vicinity of Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Boulevard in Downtown District 1 Ho Chi Minh City. Space Simulacrum explored different visual & physical approaches to engage the public on the posed issues and consequences, as well as serves as an analytical tool to shock, instigate and awaken the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subconcious expectations.

visual impression of a component in a space simulacrum

The idea of public space, as it developed in modern times, was space for the free use and enjoyment of the citizenry. The ambiance and character of public space should be determined not by any private or public authority, but by the ways in which people choose to use it. However, in Ho Chi Minh City, to be precise, political interventions to the existing local by-laws has restricted free access to public space and are eradicating the diversity of civic life. This is a new alliance of a business and state elite, set against civil society. What turns out to be ‘messy’ is the social life itself – skateboarders, protesters,

buskers, leafleteers, children playing games – that is, any activity that is not shopping or getting from A to B. Space Simulacrum is intended mainly to contest against such restrictions, and to create points of diversion around the pedestrian boulevard, pulling the crowds away from the boulevard. The urban design scheme manipulates the use of space and time, combined with hypothetical injections of programmes, in order to act as sociocultural catalysts to increase pedestrian traffic in Downtown District 1, Ho Chi Minh City during daytime by creating an altered

reality, in which perceptions and experiences or space, duration and gravity are transformed. The methodology and strategy of plugging in social activities on some potential areas, as well as constructing minor installations throughout the site, are intended to haul people into some sort of black holes, and making them forget about the passing of times. These interventions are hopefully able to make a comprehensive rediscovery of the idea of public space, and to remediate the public realm in the immediate vicinity of the Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Boulevard.

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is Vietnam is a high-octane city of commerce and culture that has driven the country forward with its pulsating energy. It is a city of energy and discovery. The ghosts of the past live on in buildings that one generation ago witnessed a city in turmoil, but now the real beauty of the former Saigonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban collage is the seamless blending of these two worlds into one exciting mass, creating a dynamic urban sphere in very special sense. Ho Chi Minh City is the commercial heart and a magnet for foreign investors. Progress aside, Saigon is steeped in tradition, a living monument to the past that wears its culture proudly on its sleeve. Decorated with colonial and French style architecture throughout the city, Saigon houses a unique mixture of past and present. The proposed urban design intervention site is located in the Central Business District,

CBD of Ho Chi Minh City, sets in District 1, one of 19 urban districts (quan) in the city. District 1 is the financial and commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City. Most travelers will spend the majority of their time here. Home to most of the major sights and an expanding number of bars and restaurants, District 1 was designed by French architects during the colonial era, which explains the wide, tree-lined boulevards and sporadic locations of parklands. The urban intervention site is situated at the center of the heart of District 1, within the visual locality of the Saigon Opera House and Committee Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; approximately 23 acres of site parameter. It is the busiest district in the city with the highest living standards. Dong Khoi street and Nguyen Hue boulevard in the district are the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two main commercial centers, besides other major roads such as Le Loi street and Hai Ba Trung street.

// site potentials Nguyen Hue Street, and its neighbouring street particularly Le Loi Street & Dong Khoi Street, have prime land value, approximately VND162 million (roughly US$7,600) per mÂ˛ - the most expensive land value in Ho Chi Minh City & the whole Vietnam. The proposed site will most likely to emerge a denser, more compact city. The fact that the area is filled with commercial-dominated buildings, with future subway line & station that can generate many people to the area and more cash flows, should be used to its advantage. Strong horizontal axis links major landmarks towards the waterfront, coupled with presence of power brands in multiple locations are identified as nodes that draw people to the area. 1 the 5th elevation hierarchy of building heights create opportunities in revitalising and beautification of rooftops

2 urban core vicinities concentrate higher densities around transit, encourage car-less culture, and greater mixture of building use

3 reason to stay widened key sidewalks make walking more inviting and allow for installation of benches and parklets, which give people additional reason to spend time in public realm

4 surplus properties vacant lot and underutilized space in cities could provide important social and ecological benefits - revenue generator, place of opportunity

// site dilemmas Downtown District 1, particularly in the vicinity of the proposed site, although is full of potentials, have its own dilemmas. Interestingly, the prominent pedestrian boulevard in Nguyen Hue Street, which is the main public space provided by the City Council, is seemingly hot due to lack of shaded area, insufficient trees along the boulevard & the sidewalks of the neighbouring street. Besides that, lots of restrictions are imposed especially along the sidewalks, boulevard & other public areas. Street vendors are also banned from using the sidewalks facing the boulevard. Issues regarding this pedestrian boulevard are what trigger the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirst for urban intervention.

The main intention is to construct a sociocultural catalyst to increase pedestrian traffic in Downtown District 1, Ho Chi Minh City during daytime by creating an altered reality, in which perceptions and experiences of space, duration and gravity are transformed. Remediation of the public realm in vicinity of the pedestrian boulevard

can be achieved by providing the downtown quality open space in sufficient quantity and variety to meet the needs of downtown workers, residents and visitors, at the same time protesting/countering authority’s restrictions on do’s and don’ts in public space, specifically the pedestrian boulevard and sidewalks.

sustainable design strategies More than half of the world’s population now lives in cities. The social, cultural and economic problems and opportunities that are generated by this concentration of people have become symbolic of the contemporary human condition. The essence of cities is that they have always contained a myriad of diverse and intense connections and activities; where people live, work, shop

and play, meeting the needs of economic production and social reproduction. As urbanism challenges are complex, it is best to start with the basic Brundtland definition of sustainability – addressing today’s needs without impacting the opportunities for future generations. The three main themes – economy, environment and society – are a logical division of sustainability.

// climate, energy & water //

1. kinetic energy harvesting

The demand for energy harvesting technologies is growing as we continue to seek out greener and more efficient solutions. Like a wind generator or solar cells, piezoelectricity is also a type of technology used for energy harvesting. Piezoelectricity is electrical energy harvested from mechanical pressure such as walking motion. When pressure is applied on an object, a negative charge is created on the expanded side and a positive charge is created on the compressed side. As this pressure is relieved, electric current flows across the substance. This technology is proposed to be installed on the main sidewalks adjacent to the pedestrian boulevard, taking advantage of the future subway station line. As pedestrians walk across the Pavegen system, the weight from their footsteps causes generators to vertically displace; consequentially this radial motion creates energy through electro-magnetic induction.

2. zero energy media wall Hyperreality is a special kind of social reality in which a reality is created or simulated from models, or defined by reference to models – a reality generated from ideas. Like special effects; and ‘para-reality’, an extra layer laid over, or instead of, reality. It is experienced as more real than the real, because of its effect of breaking down the boundary between real and imaginary. It is a ‘real’ without ‘origin or reality’, a reality to which we cannot connect. One of the component for hyperreality injected in this project is through the installation of the zero energy media wall, using LED screen, in two main locations facing the pedestrian boulevard. It is made ‘zero energy’ as the media wall is powered by self-sufficient photovoltaic system that captures twice as much energy that the facade uses; a self-sufficient organic system, storing solar energy by day and using it to illuminate the screen after dark.

why led ? 1 less heat LEDs are a lot cooler than traditional lights, which is particularly important to reduce cooling and refrigeration expenses.

4 cost savings LEDs can save you up to 80% on lighting costs, which in turn reduces your energy bill.

5 stronger, durable

2 better lights LEDs produce a brighter, more natural, cooler light and do not flicker.

LEDs don’t use filaments so they are stronger and less likely to be damaged than traditional globes

3 slash maintenance cost

6 environmental friendly

Because LEDs last up to 100,000 hrs, there will no longer need to regularly replace or service the lights.

LEDs have a lower impact on landfills, generate less carbon for the environment, and don’t contain harmful chemicals like mercury.

3. ‘Blue roof’ + green rooF (stormwater management + rainwater harvesting system) GREEN ROOF Green roofs consist of a vegetative layer that grows in a specially-designed soil, which sits on top of a drainage layer. Green roofs are more costly than conventional roofs but they are capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of stormwater.

Green roof applications can alleviate the heat island effect in cities and positively contribute to sustainable development by regulating building temperatures and enhancing its impact and effectiveness on the built environment. Green roofs are an innovative concept for the planning and development of future cities. In addition, green roofs provide sustainability benefits such as absorbing air and noise pollution, rooftop cooling by reducing UV radiation absorption, creating living environments for birds, and increasing the quality of life for residents.

BLUE ROOF A blue roof is a roof design that is explicitly intended to store water, typically rainfall. Blue roofs that are used for temporary rooftop storage can be classified as “active” or “passive” depending on the types of control devices used to regulate drainage of water from the roof. A blue roof temporarily stores rainwater in any of a number of types of detention systems on the roof. They are most applicable and provide the most benefit in highly urbanized cities that are serviced by combined sewers. Combined sewers handle sewage and rainwater runoff from roofs, streets and other impervious surfaces.

*source: http://www.pwdplanreview.org/

The beauty of blue roofs is they can store much of this rainwater during and immediately after a rainstorm, temporarily preventing it from reaching the sewer system. In this way, combined sewer overflows are minimized and local natural resources are protected. When the storm is over and the sewer system has the capacity to handle it, the blue-roof retention materials are designed to slowly release the stored rainwater back into the storm-drain system.

// transportations & connectivity

1. provisions of pedestrian networks & cycling transit system

A pedestrian and bicycle transportation network consists of a series of interconnected facilities that allow nonmotorized road users of all ages and abilities to safely and conveniently get where they need to go. A connected network is not established by a standalone bike lane project, new sidewalk, or curb ramp upgrade. Rather, a network will use these types of projects to deliver a transportation system that prioritizes the

needs of pedestrians and bicyclists to safely and conveniently access the destinations they need to reach. A well-connected pedestrian and bicyclist network recognizes that trips vary in purpose and nature. Understanding that different users have different needs, pedestrian and bicycle networks should be designed to provide options for continuous, safe, seamless, and convenient travel between all possible destinations.

buildings & resources // 1. recycleable materials & methods of constructions Almost every components in the Space Simulacrumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban intervention implemented the 4Rs - Refurbish, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle; in its installation and construction methods. They aimed to reduce impact consumption of primary resources and the practice of sustainable construction on residential towers. Thus, integrating the IBS system whenever possible.

The fact that every aspect of life seems to be going online is acting as a catalyst for the shared economy, which is transforming the world into one huge network. Among the impacts of implementing this strategy are:

peripatetic city : a pursuit of knowledge moment 65 Ever since the Vietnamese economy has been transformed into market economy, the community life has been improved greatly especially for people living in big cities like HCMC. The rapid economic development has attracted workers from different provinces including children with many kinds of jobs such as shoe polishing, lottery ticket selling, street vendors and doing domestic chores. Besides parents who are not aware of the importance of education and think “No food leads to starvation while no education is still alright” force their children to quit schools and go to work. This spatial turn has led to the emergence of various types of new educational spaces on different scales – from transformed old classrooms to ‘schools without classrooms’, from constructions of urban ‘knowledge moments’ to virtual learning networks, from local ‘learning pathways’ to global de-territorial spaces of learning. Many of these projects are purposefully trying to fold in pedagogic moments across the urban fabric. The blurring of lines between work, live, learn and play display today’s planning logic of new urban districts. To be successful, the concept of life-long learning needs, in addition to institutional reform, the ubiquitous presence of spatial, medial and psychological attractors, that will incite everybody to make ‘learning’ a part of their daily lives.

facts and data Dol Moi, which was implemented in 1986, drastically changed Vietnamese society, economically, socially and politically. These changes allowed a market economy to emerge, sparked remarkable economic growth, and reduced the overall level of poverty. The living standard of the entire population has improved as a result of these economic developments. Poverty reduction has not occurred equally across all regions of Vietnam. Since Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic opening in the mid-80s, the problem of working children in large cities such as Ho Chi Minh City has become increasingly

visible to the international community. The number of working children has increased and the types of children included in the definition of working and street children are changing. Street kids are some of the most vulnerable people in our societies. They are often taken advantage of by adults, especially adults who offer to take care of them. Many become shoe-shine boys or sell sunglasses, lighters and even drugs. But none of these items yield a high profit and some boys will end up selling themselves, maybe begin to

Urban motley: ‘X’ Spot Stimulus towards art & culture market neighbourhood 81 The term” Ensemble Urban Motley” refer to the ensemble of incongruously situations that varied in character and appearance on this district. It is a group of items that consist of different aspects; old and new building, cultures, economic activities, communities, and spatial distribution of buildings that are incongruously varied in appearance or character to be viewed as a completely harmonious unity rather than individuality.

82 ‘Art and culture’ based economy is one of the approaches to generate a sustainable economy development in this Old Quarter of Hanoi. This type of industry is also a potentially important contributor to social cohesion and urban development through the promotion of art and cultural dialogue, understanding and collaboration. The essential principles and objectives of art and culture are thing like to entertain, to delight, to raise awareness and to stimulate. These nonmarket values are difficult to

measure in monetary terms but are just as important as the instrumental values. While jobs can be created through many economic activities, what other kinds of production can generate the same essential values? Art and cultural capital is one. This is defined as the sum total of a country’s wealth or stock of art, heritage and other kinds of capital is needed to be invested in-otherwise it will depreciate and be devalued over time. The first intention is revitalizing the business market and residential

areas in this Old Quarter by promoting its art and cultural scene and at the same time preserving its art and cultural identity. The wide-open square at the centre, residential and buildings along the streets is an existing component of the Old Quarter that has a high potential for economy. In addition, local economy such as theatre performance, local cuisine, traditional Vietnamese coffee café, silk textiles, wines and fashion shops were potential to attract people to the area.

site plan / masterplan

The project is located in the heart of the Old Quater, Hang Da and Hang Dieu streets. It is a melting pot of cultures, attitudes and livelihoods. Comparing with other area which have placed a strong emphasis on ‘international living’ pattern, this site retains a unique Vietnamese characteristic within its urban fabric. Its street pattern remains from the 15th century, when trade streets emerged that specialized in a leather goods still reflected in street names today.

Constant division of properties over the centuries led to the creation of the Quarter’s characteristic tube houses, providing livework spaces for the residents of this area. A high percentage of the local population has benefited, as they have transformed their “tube” houses into shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels. There is a thriving street economy, with street hawkers, commuting to this area each day from the countryside to sell vegetables and other goods.

sustainable design strategies Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, and the health and comfort of building occupants, thereby improving building performance. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments. Utilizing a sustainable design philosophy encourages decisions at each phase of the design

process that will reduce negative impacts on the environment and the health of the occupants, without compromising the bottom line. It is an integrated, holistic approach that encourages compromise and tradeoffs. Such an integrated approach positively impacts all phases of a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life-cycle, including design, construction, operation and decommissioning.

// strategy 01 : climate, energy & water // Sustainable Townships are balanced in their ongoing production and consumption of energy and water to minimise the impact on the environment by adopting the best practice on energy efficiency and water efficiency. It uses the concept of self sustainability through the generation of energy.

wind turbine system It is affordable, clean and sustainable. One wind turbine can be sufficient to generate energy for a household. Because wind is a source of energy which is non-polluting and renewable, wind turbines create power without using fossil fuels, and without producing greenhouse gases or radioactive or toxic waste.

92 KINETIC PHOTOVOLTOIC SYSTEM The use of dynamic kinetic photovoltaic system is effective based on amount of energy that can be collected and also can act as shading system which is completely computerised to adjust to changing weather conditions.

water harvesting system Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse including water for gardens, livestock, irrigation, and domestic use with proper treatment. The use of dynamic kinetic photovoltaic system also can act as water harvesting system which is also completely computerised to adjust to the changing weather conditions.

// strategy 02 : ecology & environment Design of urban spaces according to the needs of the people and the public will minimise impact on the environment by adopting best and preserving site ecology and biodiversity. The design approach should be sensitive to the needs of the local issue which aims to preserve as much greenery as possible

93 The prime function of this type of open space is for conservation of the natural environment and for amenity and visual purposes. Also to replenish the air with oxygen for. Sufficiently distributed area for greenery is compulsory to provide and produce oxygen which acts as an urban green lung. Green Street designs turn city streets into stormwater management systems while still maintaining their primary function as a transportation pathway

for vehicles and pedestrians. Green Streets use various green stormwater infrastructure tools, including stormwater tree trenches, stormwater planters, stormwater bumpouts, and pervious pavement, to capture runoff directly from streets and sidewalks. Instead of entering combined sewer system, runoff is absorbed by specially engineered systems that use soils, stones and plants that soak up water.

strategy 03 : community planning & design // Sustainable Townships are planned and designed with integrated approach that to take into account the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority and create pocket spaces for the benefit of the community. To minimise impact on the environment and promote community connectivity and participation by adopting good practice on site selection and space planning.

METABOLICity: INTEGRATING NATURES TOWARDS CULTURAL HUB 99 In light of modernism and technological development, the appreciation of Vietnamese old art and performance has been slowly fading away. The idea is to create a district of urban that exhibit all the heritage art and performance such as Water Puppet Theatre and Handicraft which should be preserved as a catalyst to future generation. By reinvigorate the value of art and performance in that district, the people will attract to come to the site and appreciate it. In addition, the project aims also to help and develop the Handcraft art as the main trader activities here. Besides that, the lake nearby and the historical building may become the factor of catalysing different typology to further increase the sites attract ability. Not only that, an institutional related to heritage art and performance also proposed to enlighten the new generation to continue this legacy in capturing the intangible.

100 Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital lies in the North of the country and is one of the country’s top tourist hot spots. It offers Frenchcolonial architecture, a rich food culture and a long history (the city celebrated its millennium in 2010.) The most well-known and important districts in Hanoi are Ba Dinh District (aka the French Quarter) where the government offices are located and Hoan Kiem District (aka the Old Quarter) and the most vital road here which is Dinh Tien Hoang Street which is considered the city’s business hub and main tourist destination.

One of Hanoi’s most common sights is that of streets packed with scooters, bicycles and cars swarming around pedestrians like a school of fish. Then there are the many sidewalk vendors and people simply out for a stroll and the popular Old Quarter is no exception so walking around this district is distinct from a leisurely stroll in the park. Visitors have no choice but to face the traffic in the local style but the experience of exploring the historical area is a mustdo and truly well worth it. Hoàn Kiem District is the downtown and commercial center of Hanoi. Most of the largest Vietnamese

public corporations and bank headquarters are located here, but the central government offices are located in Ba Đình District (sometimes called the French quarter). The Hanoi City Committee is located on Dinh Tien Hoang Street , adjacent to the Hoan Kiem Lake. Many of Hanoi’s tourist attractions are located here, including: The Old Quarter, Hanoi Opera House, National Museum of Vietnamese History, and the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre.

facts and data By 2030, the lead planners in a large international team, Perkins Eastman developed the Hanoi Capital Construction Master Plan as a framework to guide the city’s development for the next 20 years and establish a vision for the city to become one of the most liveable, sustainable, and attractive world capital cities by 2050. To organize and plan for Hanoi’s expected urban growth to over nine million people by 2030, a comprehensive planning approach was needed to encompass social, economic, physical, and environmental issues. This same approach needed to prioritize flexibility to accommodate changing conditions over time, as well as the ability to establish strong coordination between regulatory agencies.

103

Among the most important features of the plan is the accepted recommendation that 70% of Hanoi— including its remaining natural areas and most productive agricultural land —be permanently protected from further development as part of a broad sustainability strategy. A second major part of the plan calls for strict preservation of the historic structures and precincts, tree-lined streets, river banks and lakes, and other features especially in Old Quarters such as Dinh Tien Hoang St and Ba Dinh St that make Hanoi an inherently beautiful and liveable city. The plan has received wide acceptance and support from the many involved agencies and ministries, as well as the public.

107

Sustainable Township are livable places that meet the diverse needs of the community, both now and in the future. They are places that are well planned and designed, safe and secure and enhances the surrounding environment, thus providing a high quality of life for the people who live, work and play there. Green building is the work to achieve high efficiency in use of energy and materials, minimizing the negative impacts on the environment; and is designed to be able to minimize the negative impact of the built environment to human health and the natural environment through: + Use of energy, water and other natural resources efficiently + Protecting health and improving user productivity + Reduce waste, pollution and environmental destruction By applying the assessment tool for green building VGBC ( LOTUS ), the construction project can identify a specific roadmap for ensuring that buildings are built to meet the highest standards of technical Art and the maximum limit of adverse environmental impacts. Aims to raise awareness about green buildings, VGBC organized a comprehensive training program for the sustainable building industry.

110 strategy 02 // environment and ecology

To minimise impact on the environment by adopting the best practice and preserving site ecology and biodiversity. With population increase, there is need for the people to move upwards instead of outwards. The vertical green approach bring green area upwards together with the building. This concept will benefits both human and nature by achieving sustainability and eco-friendly development. It is also efficient to resolve the isuue of the residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to have a piece of land for them to do gardening or farming eventhough the house they buy is not landed on ground.

116 Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital races to make up for time lost to the ravages of war and a government that as recently as the 1990s kept the outside world at bay. Its streets surge with scooters vying for right of way amid the din of constantly blaring horns, and all around layers of history reveal periods of French and Chinese occupation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offering a glimpse into the resilience of ambitious, proud Hanoians. Hanoi is undergoing a rapid transformation. You can dine on the wild and wonderful at every corner, sample market wares, uncover an evolving arts scene, and then sleep soundly in a little luxury for very little cost. Meet the

people, delve into the past and witness the awakening of a Hanoi on the move. Hanoi is the cultural capital of Vietnam and its heart and soul. A great place to explore on foot, there is a lot to see and do here. Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital lies on the banks of the Red River, some 100 kilometres from its mouth. Human settlements here date back as far as the 3rd century BC. To achieve the future Hanoi vision for Hanoi 2030, the theory of rhizome oasis injected in selected parcel to create the network between the nodes that can enhance the economy, social, health and culture at the parcel. How to make the parcel more life

Hanoi cityis the capital of Vietnam, on the right bank of the Red River. It is the transportation hub of the country, with two airports and rail connections to Kunming, China, as well as to the main Chinese system centering on Beijing; it is also linked by rail with Haiphong and Ho Chi Minh City. Manufactures include machine tools, plywood, textiles, building materials, and handicrafts. The city is known for its European-style public squares and treelined boulevards. It is also a cultural centre; in the city are the National Univ. (formerly Hanoi Univ.), Hoan Kiem is an urban district (quan) of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, named after the scenic Hoan Kiem Lake. The parcel place at Hang Kay - Le Thai To Street that near to the Hoan Kiem Lake that one of the main nodes at the Hanoi.

Hoan Kiem District is the downtown and commercial centre of Hanoi. Most of the largest Vietnamese public corporations and bank headquarters are located here, but the central government offices are located in Ba Dinh District (sometimes called the French quarter). The Hanoi City Committee is located on Dinh Tien Hoang Street, adjacent to the Hoan Kiem Lake. Besides, it is also placed near religious and trading areas. Many little temples surround the site, including Bach Ma, honoring a legendary horse and Dong Xuan market, best known for selling household goods and street food. Estimated about 7.7 million population in Hanoi where about 430,000 area located in Hoan Kiem District and 7% of 430,000 are in Hang Kay - Le Thai To Street.

// design intentions: aims & objectives In this parcel at Hoan Kiem District along Hang Khay District to Le Thai To District have lot of potential nodes that can become the catalyst to increase the economy at the parcel but the problem is, the nodes does not have the connection to each other and it difficult to access. So, the strategic circulation can improve the site.

The poor road at the parcel effect the journey for the local and tourist to walk through the pack traffic. Besides, the education also play the main role at the parcel but it lack with the program that reflect the education it self. This can give the impact to the parcel and make the parcel more active.

122

Based on the theory by Edmund Horwood Bacon, by create the connection between the nodes it can improve the nodes it self that can direct effect the economy, education, culture and people at the parcel. To support the solution, by injecting the new programs at the main nodes it can be a catalyst to the parcel and

can attract the people, at the same time it can generate the economy at the parcel. Other that that, the green intervention also include in the design based on the Vietnam Green Building Council requirement to maintain and improve the green at the parcel, so it can give more impact to the living at the parcel. Pasola Studio | Universiti Teknologi MARA, UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor |

sustainable design strategies The area is in need of an urban catalyst that will revive what was once an area robust with business, religious, learning and cultural activities. The potential of the site lies within the education and cultural aspect that become as public realm at the site and more significantly the Hoan Kiem Lake that have history of business and urban legend as a main node at the site. Based on the theory that related to the site, the Hoan Kiem needs a new ways of link that can connect the nodes and can bring benefits to the city towards archiving the Hanoi 2030 vision. The key tool for this pro-

ject is “network that juxtaposed the nodes” by using the guidelines given and their own knowledge to reinvent the connection and reclaim the maximum potential of the local surrounding as highest it possibility can go. Creating new axis that can connect the nodes to each other based on the “Rhizome Oasis” theory to form a new intervention program of youth & culture towards education. Injecting new program likes space for public education, leisure activities, entertainment and culture purpose for youth, local community and tourist as a catalyst to improve the parcel in achieving the Hanoi 2030 vision.

The canopy also act as the shade at the noon and as a cover when raining. The transparent canvas of the canopy will reduce the lighting and it will create the colour scene under it.

PHOTOVOLTAIC STREET LIGHT Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by photovoltaic panels generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated in the pole itself. The photovoltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night. This technology used along the main road that always used by the people at night.

green roof Greenroofs, eco-roofs, nature roofs, or roof greening systems are living, vegetative roofing alternatives designed in stark contrast to the many standard non-porous roof choices.

PLAYSCAPES Generate Alternate Youth Brand Space 133 Architecture of play generates memories and a sense of place in built environment, and is the truest sense of freedom of movement and expression. Playscapes allow the creation of space to be generated by the play activities. Through three core elements namely arts and culture, sport and wellness and creative entrepreneurship, cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spaces can be transformed into alternate youth branded environment as a whole. A game is often a sublimation of conflicts, in the same way we believe neglected urban spaces can be activated and make in this way people engage into a variety of activities related to play. We define play in the broad sense of creative confrontation, to which we link the key concepts of: interaction, engagement, challenge, chance, performance, creativity, and invention. This can be achieved by integrating intergenerational youth inclusive approach to public recreation spaces, offices, neighbourhood, and urban design in their city centres.

by : Hasif Razak

134 More than half of Vietnam’s population is younger than 25 and 70 per cent were born after the Vietnam War ended in 1975. Today’s younger generation has no direct memories of the war that shaped the lives of their parents and grandparents, and they are coming of age in more affluent time. Moving forward, this young generation or youth aged between 15 and 30 has formed the backbone of Vietnam’s economic success throughout the decade. Ho Chi Minh City continues to attract migrants from the provinces resulting

in rapid youth population seeking for jobs. As living conditions improve, more young people in the cities and urban area are not living in a healthy lifestyle. These people are bold, if not notorious, for their need to be free from constraints the others might not even see as constraints. They need spaces to be spontaneous and flexible with the surroundings, spaces that does not confine them. Unlike the conventional spaces provided to them i.e. pubs, clubs, today we notice an absence of the healthy programs that focus

on the youth communities. Playscapes wants to redefine the city’s space and urban development into a comprehensive alternate youth branded environment. A city that is more connected, vibrant and energetic with integration of three main elements: arts and culture, sport and wellness and creative entrepreneurship. Architecture of play animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire and be inspired.

PROPOSED SITE

135

SITE SETTING The site is located at the north District 1 and next to the Saigon River. Ton Duc Thang is the old port of Saigon known as Ba Son and public universities. Over the past 20 years, the area has transformed rapidly from a tree-lined street of colonial buildings to a strip of high rise offices and hotels. With an area of 31.5 acres, the community within the site consists of students and private workers where a number of offices, institutions and mixed use development can be found. It is projected that many new towers are set to be built in the next few years as the land value rapidly increasing. The population consists of students and private workers where they come to study and work. This youthful and active community will enliven the communities during the weekdays.

136

Hidden at the end of street alley in the centre of noisy and isolated from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hustle and bustle especially focusing on the interest and activities of young adultsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Pasola Studio | Universiti Teknologi MARA, UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor |

// Sustainability in Urban Manifestos //

The rapid urbanisation along with changing of lifestyle leads to the declining health of the community. From smoking habit, drinking addiction, uncontrolled diet, this unhealthy lifestyle becomes health issues especially when it involves the youth community.

Strips of high rise offices reflect a dynamic and booming economy of the area. Many new towers are set to be built.

this economic driven culture creates a highly stressful community. With the lack of recreational space or facilities and diversity in programs, the said community has to face quite an intense environment.

There is potential to introduce a vibrant art colony in this area.

137

the waterfront area should be developed with active waterfront activities and multi-event space. A vibrant and dynamic environment can be created and achieved with an authentic identity.

DESIGN STATEMENT

The current site setting believes to be the house for many students and young adults who are working at private sectors and studying at the local schools and universities. This group of people bring the site alive and colours with their present. Their common activities and daily routines create a frequency and hence produce its own rhythms or beats to the site. As life in the city can be very stressful for every hectic activitiy, there should be a moment for them

to standstill and ponder (distraction) to clear their heads.The current site system can be improved by activating it, making it more open, integrating it with the surroundings and attracting more participation and at the same time improve the social well-being of the community as a whole. Injection of art plays a key role in the future design of cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space because its ability to bring the community together and create a shared identity.

HYPOTHETICAL PROGRAMS

140

DESIGN INTENTIONS In order to keep the area alive during weekdays and weekends, a handful of new programs and activities that relate to the youth community should be initiated. In creating a vibrant and dynamic cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space, both public and private sectors should play their role by implementing an integrated flexible space that suit with the youth needs. Play space can give them a chance to learn the skills of social negotiation and conflict resolution. Inclusion in play spaces can allow them the freedom in exploring new social identities in a fun and creative environment. Their involvement allows them to expand their ideas and challenge their own boundaries, which lead the community towards a healthy and active lifestyles.

CLIMATE OVERVIEW

141

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is located in the delta the Saigon and Dong Nai rivers. It is Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest city and an important economic, trade, cultural and research centre, both within the country, and in South-East Asia. HCMC has a diversified topography, ranging from mainly agricultural and rural areas in the north to a widespread system of rivers, canals and dense mangrove forest to the south. The urban areas are located approximately 50km (31.1 miles) inland from the Pacific Ocean. Vietnam in general and HCMC in particular have been identified as one of the most severely affected places by future climate change and especially when the sea level rises. The fast development of the city combined with the slower processes of climate change will have a large impact on the economy of HCMC and the quality of life of its inhabitants: that is, if no immediate action is taken. Decisions taken in the coming decade on where and how the city expands and will be protected will determine the future of HCMC for a long time to come. It is therefore of key importance that plans, policies and projects in the city take into consideration climate change and subsidence.

hanoi creative capsule : Lavishing entertainment haven by invigorating Hanoi Old Quarter as a creative city. 151 The stimulation of art and entertainment will be the urban catalyst towards achieving the vision of Hanoi Creative City 2050, in order to enrich the local unique culture, identity of Hanoi. With the existing scenario, Hanoi has been exporting their local art & crafts products through out the world, and the creative industry has also been one of the major industry in Vietnam. Coming from where creativity has always been the lifeblood of the city, there is an obvious high potential of creating the Creative City. The cultivating process shall unfold the potential of markets, trading and production centres, with their critical mass of entrepreneurs, artists, intellectuals, students, administrators and creative collaboration. Hanoi will be portraying the image of Creative City for world recognition.

by Nadia Fathin Syahira bt Ahmad Nazri

152 Within the rapidly transforming city of Hanoi, Vietnamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital lies the Ancient Quarter, home to a broad array of small entrepreneurs and traders since the 13th century. Creativity is now no longer restricted to specific mind and thinking manner only, but also based on ways and strategies to incorporate those skills into liveable spaces and environment. The conflict between the conventional way of emphasizing the local art and culture only through the economy and not through the events and programming of the area has formed an argument on

the high potentialities that the area holds. Today, the tourism industry is moving away from mass marketing towards personalized travel concentrating on individuals. Tourists now rate cultural and heritage events among their top five reasons for travelling. The creative capsule scheme is created by merging the three main capsules of entertainment machine, neighbourhood community and the knowledge exchange element harmoniously, in order to promote urban lavishness of the entertainment haven in Hanoi Old Quarter, that will attract tourists and locals

into the area. The framework of plugging in entertainment elements, with the potential of unblocking the urban blockages and creative intelligence edges that can strengthen the web work of the city, consequently creating vibrant linkages throughout the city. The Hanoi Old City Gate will be revived in a heritage manner as the only city gate in Hanoi, and a successful lavishness of entertainment haven in Hanoi Old Quarter is now freshly formed as a revitalized city which incorporate entertainment, community, knowledge, art and culture to formulate a creative city.

site plan / masterplan

153

The site is located at the Hang Chieu Street, in the Hanoi’s Old Quarter, and as the oldest continuosly developed area of Vietnam, Hanoi’s Old Quarter has a history that spans 2,000 years and represents the eternal sould of the city. Located between the Lake of the Restored Sword, the Long BIen Bridge, a former cfity rampart, and a citadel wall, the Old Quarter started as a snake and alligator-infested swamp. It later evolved into a cluster of villages made up of houses on stilts, and was unified by Chinese administrators who built ramparts around their headquarters. The area was named

“Dominated Annam” or “Protected South” by the Chinese. The Old Quarter began to acquire it’s reputation as a crafts area when the Vietnamese attained independence in the 11th Century and King Ly Thai To built his palace there. In the early 13th Century, the collection of tiny workshop villlages which clustered around the palace walls evolved into craft cooperatives, or guilds. The Quan Chuong city gate is the only gate remaining of Thang Long (Drag-on Fly) citadel, Quan Chuong city gate not only brings beauty in architect but also imbued with historical record of ancient Hanoi.

sustainable design strategies Anyone involved in building design, procurement or maintenance in recent years will have been confronted in one way or another by the term sustainability. The term remains elusive to many, and while a number of definitions exist, they give little indication of how to apply principles of sustainability in practice. Moreover, these definitions differ slightly, from one to another, and in any attempt to implement sustainable development it is essential that the meaning of sustainability be understood. It is generally agreed that sustainability fundamentally affects the way we live; consequently, personal ethics will influence the way an individual interprets its aims. Like architecture as a whole, sustainability involves addressing a wide spectrum of issues, sometimes, seemingly, conflicting ones.

For most individuals, embracing principles of sustainability, whether adopting an anthropocentric or non-anthropocentric approach, requires a major ethical shift. One of the key concepts of sustainability is equity: equity between all people around the world living today, and also equity between people living today and people living in the future. In addition, a non-anthropocentric approach extends the concept of equity to all species and nature. Embracing the concept of equity requires refocusing away from personal benefits onto the needs and interests of others. Achieving the ambitious goals of sustainability requires a realism that recognises the limitations of humans, but also recognises the urgent need to embrace a different life philosophy.

// strategy 01 //

SUPER-CYCLING LANE The super-cycling lane, is proven effective by the discussion of National Geographic, that concludes cycling does seriously lower one’s carbon footprint by not emitting pollution or burning fossil fuels. In fact, short car trips do the most damage. An engine releases the worst pollution as it “warms up,” so providing the cycling lane will encourage people to cycle more, and if more people were to cycle rather than drive to their closest destinations, this would be a boon for the environment.

ORIENTATION Orientation of the building is generally used to refer to solar orientation which is the planning of building with respect to solar access. Although any building will have different orientations for its different sides, the orientation can refer to a particular room, or to the most important facade of the building. The building orientation definitely have an impact on heating, lighting and cooling costs.

PAVE-GEN PEDESTRIAN WALK With urban populations rapidly growing across the country there is an ongoing need for central business districts to provide safe thoroughfares for residents and visitors. Pavegen Kinetic Paving is an innovative and sustainable technology that utilises the kinetic energy from the footsteps of the public to produce low voltage electricity, suitable for powering a range of low energy applications including LED lighting, advertising and way-find solutions.

// strategy 02 - RAWLEMON SPHERICAL SOLAR ENERGY

(photo)

161

The futuristic photovoltaic system invention, characterized by a simple and pleasant design, is actually a system for producing electrical energy from the sun, capable of substantially improving photovoltaic conversion efficiency (up to 35 % more than a traditional panel). The operation principal is very simple and is based on the “solar tracking” concept. Traditional plants usually use fixed panels with an orientation and a direction to maximize annual energy production, or alternatively, panels equipped with a structure that’s capable of moving and following the sun’s apparent motion. The largest device in the Rawlemon range is the 180-cm (70.1-in)

Beta.ray 1.8 that will generate up to 3.4 kWh a day, enough to run your laptop for almost a week. It has a 5.4 kWh battery. Both the Beta.ray 1.0 and 1.8 feature water-filled acrylic-polymer lenses, as opposed to the solid lenses of their smaller siblings, plus they generate thermal energy as well as solar. Rawlemon is also developing a system it calls Microtrack, that uses the same technology but is installed as a building skin. Microtrack will will produce energy during the day and can be used as a multimedia display at night.

strategy 03 - SHADING ELEMENTS // To ensure that the comfortability of the community and the public hanging out around the Creative Capsule, a tensile membrane structure is installed for most of the public area, such as the street vendor hub, the youth park, and other public realms. Since it is lightweight, fewer support columns create more functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces. During daylight, the membrane’s translucency offers soft diffused naturally lit spaces which reduces interior lighting costs.

162 // strategy 04 - green roof // By adapting the green roof feature on site, the immediate water run-off can be reduced between 50 to 90 %, greatly reducing drainage flow rates. This enables the rainwater management system to be reduced in capacity, thereby greatly

reducing construction costs. Green roofs cool and humidify the surrounding air. Coordinated urban green roof development can significantly reduce the so-called “Heat Island” effect.

Pasola Studio | Universiti Teknologi MARA, UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor |

// Sustainability in Urban Manifestos //

// strategy 05 - rainwater harvesting system //

163

The rainwater harvesting column is installed at the green roof area, in order to collect the rainwater to be re-used, and as well as providing shades to the rooftop open cinema, rooftop cafe, and also the rooftop event space. The ecological benefits of recycling rainwater are potentially huge: toilet flushing, for example accounts for up to 35% of the average householdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water usage. If we add in the amount of water we use for washing clothes or watering the garden and the possible savings begin to grow.

// strategy 06 - green living wall // This Green Living wall is installed in the Creative Capsule to reduce the urban heat island effect. A strategic placement of green walls, plants could also create enough turbulence to break vertical airflow, which slows and cools down the air and reduce the temperature fluctuations at a wall’s surface. A recent study into the effectiveness of green infrastructure for improving air quality in urban street canons (the gaps between large buildings), found living green walls can have a big impact. (adapted from: http://www.greenroofs.org)

164

These gaps are hotspots for harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, but living green walls have been shown to reduce levels by 40% and 60% respectively. It’s not just pollutants outside that are a cause for concern as there are plenty of toxins inside that can adversely affect our health too. Living green walls help to offset this problem by providing shade from the effects of direct sunlight. Also, unlike brick or concrete, plant surfaces don’t store up solar energy, but reflect it. Both interior and exterior walls help to actively cool the air by a process called evapotranspiration, reducing the need to cool the building.

Euphoric City : Multilayer public realm and livable waterfront as the component in stimulating happiness throughout the city. 169 Multilayers Public Realm . Waterfront . Euphoric City .

by : Putri Farawahida Megat Kamaruzaman

170 As we reflect on our day-to-day experiences, we can all likely bring to mind a number of places where we have lived, worked or visited in which we feel comfortable or inspired. While the factors that foster a meaningful social connection with a place can vary widely, we can optimize and promote improved social connections in urban environments through effective measurement, strategy and design. Euphoric City aims to build cities that help facilitate these positive social connections. This is both an art and a science.

Architecture, urban design and public spaces together alter the way we think, feel and treat other people in ways most of us never realise. Multilayered public realm and a livable waterfront development such as transportation, commercial, recreational, residential, cultural, educational, environment, and can improve economic development, public enjoyment and civic identity. The waterfront is not fully utilized by the people as it should be. The city should be programmed to gather people from the city to have more social interactions.

The place making of waterfront should be a way to gather people from the inner city to the waterfront by creating public nodes. Creating layers of public realms, and a well planned programs of a city will boost the social interactions and generate healthier lifestyle as well as developing economy that makes an Euphoric City. Apart from the land value that will increase, well planned activities and programmes will promote walkability and a healthier lifestyle. Extending latenight hours will extend the hours of a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.

The site is located along the riverside area of Saigon river. According to Atsushi Tomiyama (2016), a journalist for Nikkei Asian Review, “The river is located in southern Vietnam that rises near Phum Daung in southeastern Cambodia, flows south and south-southeast for about 230 kilometres (140 mi) and empties into the Nhà Bè River, which in its turn empties into the East Sea, some 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of the Mekong Delta.” Saigon River is important to Ho Chi Minh City as it is the main water supply as well as the host of former Saigon Port, which a total cargo volume load/outloaded of more than 35 million metric tons in 2006. The

newly developed city is new urban area of Thu Thiem. In the past, District 2 was one of the poorest parts of Ho Chi Minh City due to the separation by the Saigon River from the city center. However, it is now one of the prioritized area for investment by the government of Ho Chi Minh City to boost international tourism. The old Nguyen Hue Flower Street now becomes a square and the first pedestrian street of Saigon. Adjacent to another street called Dong Khoi Street, the site location has the most potential to become the centre of attractions for tourists and locals. Also, Dong Khoi Street is known for being the fashion street and the arts and culture street.

sustainable design strategies

// Green roof //

garden roof Urban greening has long been promoted as an easy and effective strategy for beautifying the built environment and increasing investment opportunity. Garden roof can beautify the buildings and create another layer of public realm and create more spaces for leisure and economic activities. Through the daily transpiration and, evaporation cycle, plants on vertical and horizontal surfaces are able to cool cities during hot summer months and reduce the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The effect of solar radiation during the hot months are lessered through the heat absorbtion capacity of green roofs.

178

green roof With green roofs, water is stored by the substrate and then taken up by the plants from where it is returned to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation.

RAINWATER COLLECTOR Captured rainwater can be used for both potable (drinkable) and non-potable purposes, both inside and outside a home or business. Outdoor uses include watering landscaping and gardens, and to provide water for pets, wildlife and livestock. Indoor uses include toilet flushing and clothes washing. Rainwater is often a forgotten resource for these uses, and can significantly reduce the amount of treated drinking water needed to complete these tasks.

Solar energy is a resource that is not only sustainable for energy consumption, it is indefinitely renewable (at least until the sun runs out in billions of years). Solar power can be used to generate electricity, it is also used in relatively simple technology to heat water

Urban Design Scheme : sectional cut

(solar water heaters). create electricity in just a few millimeters and do not require any type of mechanical parts that can fail. Solar panels are also a silent producer of energy, a necessity if dealing with picky neighbors. (adapted from: http://www.tc.umn.edu)

// WAVE ENERGY TAPPING //

source: https://www.planetizen.com/node/76100

Waves are generated by wind passing over the surface of the river. As long as the waves propagate slower than the wind speed just above the waves, there is an energy transfer from the wind to the waves. Both air pressure differences between the upwind and the lee side of a wave crest, as well as friction on the water surface by the wind, making the water to go into the shear stress causes the growth of the waves.This device floats on the surface of the water, held in place by cables connected to the seabed. Buoys use the rise and fall of swells to drive hydraulic pumps and generate electricity.

Rain water collection via a network of canopies into a cistern. The stored greywater can then be recycled and used in the building complex and on site to water plants,

flush toilets or for general outdoor cleaning. The site will serve as a prototype for rain water collection and adaptive sustainable design in the built, urban environment.

// lighting effeciency // Daylighting is the direct use of sunlight and scattered diffused light for the lighting of interior spaces. The direct use of daylight is a more efficient and cheaper method of converting light falling on a building into interior light. Skylights are light transmitting fenestration (openings in a building envelope which also includes windows, doors, etc.) forming all, or a portion of, the roof of a building space. Skylights are widely used in daylighting design in residential and commercial buildings, mainly because they are the most effective source of daylight on a unit area basis.

182

When artificial lighting is necessary, choosing efficient technologies can effectively reduce electricity use and related GHG emissions. When considering among the available technologies, it is important to consider several factors, including the quality of lighting needed, the frequency of use, and the environment in which the light is being used (e.g., indoor or outdoor). Timers and sensors can reduce light usage to the necessary level. Sensors come in a variety of models that serve different purposes, and certain types of sensors and light fixtures are more appropriate together than others.

RHYTM AND PATTERN OF URBANISM : MAPPING THE CULTURAL CATALYST 187 Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam and its motto is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom, Independence & Happinessâ&#x20AC;?. To reflect this motto, Vietnam fought hard to maintain these values in the various wars throughout its history with China, France, and United State. Today, Hanoi is strategizing to become one of the most liveable, sustainable, and atrractive world capital cities by 2050. A major part of the plan calls for strict preservation of the hostoric structures and precints, tree-lined streets, riverbanks and lakes and other features that make Hanoi an inherently beautiful and liveble city.

by : Syazwanie Sapian

188 In a parcel of Hanoi, urban fabric provides historical spatial background and in respect due to the the heritage image of the area, designer easily encouraged culture related such as ‘cultural quarter’ model for urban regeneration or redevelopment. The area is in need of an urban cultural catalyst that will revive the area with business, and cultural activities.The potential of the site lays within the cultural aspect more significantly the history of artistic expression in the parcel as well as now, a host for the Hanoi’s Sound Festival every year.

The parcel will undertake an idea of reviving scenes of historical settings and new imaginative artistic spaces for example perfromance spaces for community that are both the performer and audience. Besides that, evening economy and activity, public art, cafe culture and street life need to be strong and supported by technolgy and sustainability, and creative art to promote local image and identity. It will help in creating a rhytm and pattern of urbanism. The new ‘urban rhytm and patterns’ scenario will be place that breed’s creative community and becomes

re-branded into sustainable and resilient parcel as the third space. Therefore, this project intends to review on how the third space can enhance and improve the cultural and heritage ambience of the site and how the activities in these spaces can potrays the correct and ideal image and identity of the site. The formula includes urban stage as ‘the projector’ and becoming nodes connected through ‘the row’. This formula aims to be the catalyst, and as a chain in order to re-generate Hanoi through new programs of cultural contextualization.

// design statement: AIMS & OBJECTIVES Based on the theory above, the first step to revitalise the site is by using a cultural-led regeneration as a model and injecting them into third spaces named the row. The formula includes urban stage as ‘the projector’ and becoming nodes connected through ‘the row’. The main and primary program shall use creative and cultural as a basis to attract the Hoan Kiem’s community especially in Hang Dau area. The creative and cultural program will act as an anchor for the row to

accommodate and enhance the local activities and amenities as well as main event space to support local festival and celebrations i.e. Hanoi Sound Festival. All this later will be connected together along the street and all public realms, which will also act as local informal ‘lounge’ to increase social cohesion and at the same time as way finding to the other anchor. Other than cultural and creative program, other programs such as recreational, leisure and entertainment will

be strategically injected into the row to improve the local environment as well as to cater to the local demands. The daily activities, the on-goings and passers-by occur at these ‘lounge’ will actually portrays the local life and routine. This is how the local culture is enhanced. It is through the local daily routine that a culture will emerge and enhance and later will portrays the correct and ideal image and identity of the site.

Dothi Etape: Journey Through the Experience of arts and culture 201 This project aims to address the increasing lack of cultural and arts related awareness among the youth and adults in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The inspiration of the project comes from the various arts related spaces that are already present such as galleries, outdoor perfomance areas and the Saigon Opera House. These spaces act as a catalyst to rejuvenate the street by creating journeys that lead the users through the proposed design in hopes of experiencing a snapshot or prelude to what the arts and culture of Vietnam has to offer.

by : Syed Arief Syed Al-Bakri

202 In an ever changing urban landscape, connectivity, whether it be in terms of transportation or walkability, is emerging as a major factor when considering urban design. When a country experiences rapid developments, it tends to neglect this major factor to allow for maximum profits. This will in turn be the reason for the prioritization of economy-centric developments such as skyscrapers and highrise blocks without the consideration of walkability and public transport. Not only does the prioritization of the aforementioned reason cause a problem in walkability, it also causes

several issues to arise such as gentrification and pollution. Corresponding to that, Vietnam experiences this issue specifically in District 1 located in one of its major city, Ho Chi Minh. The issue of rapid development has caused some of its major roads to lose its identity and suffer in terms of its walkability. To address this issue in this specific road, a cultural catalyst approach was most suitable . This is due to the prevalent nature of how the road becomes the hotspot for cultural activities such as the Lunar Flower Festival held every year. A catalyst was identified at the site that had the most cultural

and heritage value and was made as the focal point of the design. Concepts were formed to enhance and bring the experience of the catalyst throughout the site with connectivity being the main mechanism to achieve this. These concepts are based heavily on the ideas of the Situationists where a bottom-up approach is preferred. These concepts help to bring in different experiences that are everchanging, that will allow the space to be enjoyed throughout the year. The phasing process will also envision the site to be an arts and performance learning hub once the space has had time to thrive.

District 1 in Ho Chi Minh city is considered the CBD and in turn will have a high amount of concentrated rapid development to come with the ever rising economy of Vietnam. Moreover, this high amount of development has cause several issues to arise in the form of gentrification, homogenization of city blocks and the loss of its heritage buildings that seems to be the main reason tourist visit the city in the first place. The city has essentially lost its identity as the Pearl of the Orient and instead has given rise to capitalism. Being that Vietnam was previously a communist run country the sudden influence of capitalism may have caused detrimental long term issues. The targeted site is located at the at one of Le Loi , where the Municipal Theatre is

located leading towards the Saigon Tax Trade Centre. The existing site context include various hotels that have been there since the French and American occupation such as the Continental Hotel , Rex Hotel, Tax Trade Centre, Caravelle Hotel, Union Square and the Municipal Theare. The site is also located perpendicular to the newly developed Ngu Yen Hue boulevard. While it is currently very high restrictions in creating any activities on this boulevard, the chosen site acts to undermine these restriction by creating walkable streets on the perpendicular connected road. Adjacent to the site is the Dong Koi road aptly named fashion street and a few blocks away lies the textile tourist attraction, Ben Tanh Market.

// design intentions: aims & objectives Dothi Etape comes from the Vietnamese word Dothi meaning ‘urban’ and the French word Etape meaning ‘stage’. In essence, Dothi Etape is a play on the idea of creating stages along streets to allow interaction and transaction where the urbanscape, be it the users or the urban forms itself becomes the attraction of the space. To achieve this idea,

a situatuonist model was referred and three main concepts of Derive, Detournment and Stage Cinematics were chosen. The process is to create interchangable generic blocks that allow the flexibility of activities to evolve as times, culture and interest change. The main catalyst at the moment being the Opera House,

House, allow the introduction of new activities to the site in an attempt to incite interest amongst the youth and locals. These new activies will educate the users to become more cultured and sensitive to arts and heritage leading to the culmination of a more matured society.

ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY

Designing with the sentivity and importance of the public in mind is the epitome of urban design in general. The redevelopment of this street A revelopment in the city that is sustainable would include an environ-ment and ecology that is promotes better health and condusive.

This design aims to provide the 30% of open and green spaces to the proposed development as a way of providing sufficient spaces that will help elliviate the problem of cramped spaces and provide sufficient supply of oxygen. These spaces will also help is realizing the overall concept of the development by creating stops or breaks in otherwise linear walkways creating varying journey experiences.

TRANSPORTATION AND CONNECTIVITY

(photo)

211

Sustainable design even in this small scale, takes into account a broad range of transportation options. In this case, transportation by foot is emphasised more where motorcycle dominates as the preffered transportation mode. The diagram shows the idea to create more routes, corners and intersection to promote interest in traversing the site multiple times. The upper ramps and walkways allow for the spaces to be enjoyed in different ways while promoting a healthy alternative to travel.

CLIMATE, ENERGY AND WATER Sustainable design in theory is supposed to be balanced on its onjoing production and consuption. Basically, the city is to be ultimately self sufficient or self sustainable. This can be done by using renewable energy, recycling materials or maximizing efficiency. Water and energy are intrinsically linked. Energy is needed for all kinds of activities, such as to treat, produce, distribute and use of water present in all times of the year. This makes water a big focus on sustainability in this development.

212 Building and resources The use and correct orientation of photovoltaic and heat absorbing panels to be used to harnest the heal and solar energy of the sun. Solar energy is viable and reliable in the specific climate of Ho Chi Minh City. This idea is to lower the impact onto resources. Using natural and

local material in the construction will save shipping costs greatly. By using recyclable material will also allow for more efficient use of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;apparentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wastes. Using recycled steel as building materials is a sustainable option especially with integrated building system (IBS)
