Project: ICEBERG Montréal Architect: ATOMIC3 Location: Montréal, Canada Function: The wildly colorful ICEBERG installation is the latest architectonic spectacle commissioned by Montréal’s Quartier des Spectacles Partnership, which brings cultural enrichment to the city’s prominent urban spaces. ATOMIC3s installation is formed by series of angled archways that can be passed through, triggering an interactive light and sound show. The dynamic groupings of archways recall icebergs fragmenting from larger ice sheets, starting with passages large enough for adults and gradually shrinking to accomodate children alone.

Project:Auditorium Forecourt Fountain Architect: Lawrence Halprin The project is not over 40 years old but it remains one of the most important and well loved modern water features in America. In June 1970, Ada Louise Huxtable of the NYT’s wrote, “On Tuesday, Portland will start the water flowing in the fountains of what may be one of the most important urban spaces since the Renaissance. The word ‘fountains’ requires a little clarification. ‘Waterfalls” would be a more accurate description.” I think today we would refer to it as a ‘water feature’ or a ‘waterscape’ or maybe a ‘water park’.Â The word ‘fountain’ is too singular to express this kind of immersive environment or world. It is a place where kids and adults can play together.Â It is also a place where active and passive experiences can co-exist right next to one another.

The key is to understand bio-landscape as well as cultural landscape in a large context.

Chinese community Where concept come from and where / how i use my concept as key for the design. How the busy works. Chinese laneway is low rise high dense and people would just put chairs out in the laneway. Current chinese laneway - un-order 2050 – linear laneway... instead of it being just horizontal, the direction of the lanewy goes up, therefore changing the source of food plantations. No more developments of laneways, however if its a historical significance, then they will keep it. Narrow the source of food available. The changing from horizontal laneway to vertical laneway will reduce the footprint for building requirements. Traditional laneway is very narrow, however this does not detract the spirit of users. Translate this into the vertical farm Chinese community as key in the lane way and how the current sky tower is a reflection of that quality.

Concept Vertical farm= farming humans life quality. How do I achieve communities within my community - i provide basically all the functions in my tower. Therefore no need to go out, source things from within the building. The thoroughfare which is symbolic as arms and legs then become a core element in the future tower. Self governing, self educating therefor self reliant. However still within the building people still interact as a community, celebrating the spaces. The central hub provides a familial characteristic. As a recreational space which provides and meets the diversity of needs of people such as, spiritual, physical, emotional and mental. Therefore meeting the needs of the people, professions such as personal trainers, psychologists, doctors will need to reside in the building. This benefiting the sense of community throughout the tower as when celebrations are conducted, further inter-relational relationships are deepened.

Physical tower Each level is offset from the one below twist a at a 15 degrees, the ceiling /roof of the tower does not directly cover the tower, which provides sky gardens for each level. The building is raised up with ten meters using glass and steel poles as supporting structures. This provides the below spaces as recreational functions . Because it is raised up it provides (maybe through influence) other building level rises in the future.

The community centre is to provide a community and Integrated technology centre. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place making and an icon in the region and by providing a community centre it connects the people together while the integrated technology centre connects the community to the rest of the world. The installation of the demountable structure has two main purposes for users. The first purpose is to allow users to detect it as a visual point as a sense of exact location as well as it being a demountable structure as a shelter for bushfires. The potential erosion affects the soil quality leaving the soil infertile. However positively it creates a natural water catchment. The new driveways wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t erode due to the mini retaining wall that stops it from entering the roadway.

The mini platform is a place of rest and a lookout among the rocks. The platform is directly built on the existing site without any demolition, allowing the construction process on the site undisturbed. By also doing this, users can directly connect to the site physically, visually and emotionally

Shown in height elevation, rocks are placed in-between the existing rocks to reduce height difference and to create a smother pathway for users.

Stage 2c The handrail leads people to walk along the coastline as well as providing safety and legibility

Stage 3

The mini hub is a smaller version of stage one on Little Boat Harbour due to the long distance from the Central hub to the end of the walkway making it double time for users to get back. Therefore creating a mini hub allows users to rest, clean, eat and sleep.

Before we face the problem, we need to recognise the current situation. We need to use this gift of awareness wisely and we must re-establish the scenarios we predict. We need to recognise our creative capacities for the richness they are and seek hope for the children of our future generations.

Toowong local history

TOOWONG HAD ITS BEGINNINGS IN THE 1850s. By 1842 the Moreton Bay Convict settlement had been disbanded and Moreton Bay was open to free settlement.

In 1850 the area now known as Toowong was surveyed and divided into several large estates owned by families such as the Cribbs, Kelletts, Markwells and Maynes whose names have become familiar to local residents. The first recorded use of the name Toowong was in 1851 when J.C. Burnett marked Toowong Creek on his survey of lots for sale. The name was then used in 1852 as a boundary descriptor in Land Purchase Certificates for these lots. (credit from http://www.toowong.org/)

wind and topography perspectives factors

1.Wind (below 50km/h): negatively influences the speed at which a fire spreads direction in which a fire travels and the size of the fire front intensity of a fire – wind provides more oxygen likelihood of spotting – (embers) create ‘spot fires’ to ignite. 2. Slope/ Topography : Sharples (2007) states that topography can induce measurable changes in wind direction and behaviour.

Fire Park FIRE PARK proposes a new urban identity for Toowong as a model for the development of future suburb. FIRE PARK is a new urban typology that answers the needs of modern Australia, its economy, social structures and ecological plans for.

As a reactive healing force, this city could renew weak urban zones in decline by filling voids and dead space with functioning, thriving neighborhoods. Most importantly, this new typology would have the capacity to maximize green space and solve infrastructural issues while creating an efficient, accessible circulation system for public transit. FIRE PARK realizes this urban typology in the context of Toowong, a prime location for sustainable innovation at a large scale. Toowong faces problems incurred by current population density, loss of green public space, and decreasing viable land. Fire Park challenges these issues by changing Toowong’s building typology and open up more open space for the community. The proposal burns a part of the residential and commercial area to open up the space for public. By literally expressing distinct functions for its citizens, FIRE PARK relates strongly to the human scale while simultaneously decreasing density and increasing green space at the urban scale. FIRE PARK addresses four crucial aspects of sustainability. In the realm of social sustainability, the anonymous feeling of immense cities is challenged by interconnecting typically isolated diverse zones. In the economical sense, increase green space invigorates the morale of Toowong’s dense society.

This typology would embrace communities and ecovering from fire their citizens as a flexible framework which adapts to environmental and economic chanes. The essence of the overlay mapping method, presents my personal experiences with relations to place as a part of reflexive sustainability assessment. By producing overlapping maps of the park, the relationships between me, the people and the place can be acknoledged.

Water element We came from the water; our bodies are largely water; and water plays a fundamental role in our psychology. We need constant access to water, all around us; and we can not have it without reverence for water in all its forms. But everywhere in cities water is out of reach. There is no other way to build up an adequate texture of water in cities: we need pools for swimming, ornamental and natural pools, streams of rain water, fountains, falls, natural brooks and streams running through towns, tiny garden pools, and reservoirs we can get to and appreciate. Preserve natural wet water parkland and make paths for people to walk along them and footbridges to cross them. Let the streams form natural barriers in the city, with traffic crossing them only infrequently on bridges. Whenever possible, collect rainwater in open gutters and allow it to flow above ground, along pedestrian paths and in front of houses. In places without natural running water create fountains in the streets. Toowong, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Public space Without common land no social system can survive. The common land has two specific social functions. 1. The land makes it possible for people to feel comfortable outside their buildings and their private territory, and therefore allows them to feel connected to the larger social system-though not necessarily to any specific neighbor. 2. Common land acts as a meeting place for people.

Parkland From the research, If children donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play enough with other children during the first five years of life, there is a great chance that they will have some kind of mental illness later in their lives. To provide a space for all ages is important for modern days, a space that will provide a meeting space within urban setting. There are very few spots along the streets of modern towns where people can hang out, comfortably, for hours at a time. An outdoor room is needed for Brisbane City a partly enclosed place, with some roof, columns, without walls, perhaps with a trellis; place it beside an important path and within view of many buildings and landscape.

Perhaps at first you may not see them, disguised as a wooden peg in a sandstone wall or a large metal box inconveniently placed on the footpath, but it is these overlooked objects that are the true Brisbane. The project aims to encourage people to open their eyes, get lost in the world of Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallflowers, and become more aware of their surroundings.
