TAI O: A SUSTAINABLE PLAN FOR LIVING WITH WATER

Located in the west of Hong Kong, Tai O is one of the earliest in habitation villages with “living on water” tradition. Since the Song Dynasty (AD 1000s), villages already rely on fishing to make a living. However, located in a flood prone area with the challenges from extreme climate, villagers are facing more frequent risk of flash flood and rising sea level. Challenging living environment also hinder the continuity of this ancient Hong Kong community. This project is going to increase capacity for long term sustainable living in Tai O, in environmental, social and economical aspects.

PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE A FRAMEWORK FOR WOMEN EMPOWERMENT LIXIA BAO National University of Singapore

The discrimination and crime against women in Indian society make them afraid to go outdoors. I hope that my landscape planning strategies can make use of the existing community spaces to create safer community space for women, by providing new employment opportunities for housewives, rebuilding social network as well as providing re-education opportunities. On the one hand, it involves transforming more than 200 vacant lots adjacent to the house into productive land for housewives; on the other hand, it involves transforming more than 20 vacant lots along the street into women-only places for social contact and reeducation. Replicating this framework on an urban scale and implementing it as a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights strategy could promote gender equity in India as a whole.

JURY CITATION: A commendable design proposal that is lauded for its ambition to employ landscape planning strategies to alleviate discrimination and crime against women in Indian society.

WOODNUEK ASYLUM

HAKEEM JAMES HAUSLEY University of Central Lancashire

The project is concentrated on how time in solitude could create a level of selfawareness & balance to the mind with notions of extra-sensory perception and renewal through the lens of spirituality. Aimed to help high-conflicting people, the design consists of distinctive spaces that evoke a personal narration and cultivates healing by using both built and natural elements ultimately creating a holistic and alternative approach to psychotherapy. This project was inspired by the conflicting conditions of urbanized (Singapore) communities of today that are often ignored and how these commotions affect our well-being, senses and the emotions generated in our society. Commotions such as family feuds, fights or extreme ones such as slashings, drug abuse etc. The design intends to assist high-conflicting people towards renewal and self-awareness as these are the minorities in our society that are in constant motion with conflict, which disrupts the balance of their mind and body. The site selection for this project is important as it must be a space which resonates with them and has qualities that could contribute to their journey of healing. Istana Woodneuk is the chosen site due to its history of conflicting events and the existing surrounding of the vast wilderness that are both important factors needed for healing/renewal.

JURY CITATION: Superbly well-sequenced, this design showcase is visually compelling and noteworthy. Through the excellent use of photo-imaging, the presentation is striking and evocative.

THE BREATHEABLE TRANSIT: HARMONISING LIFE WITHIN A FLOOD RESILIENCE CREEK CARISSA CHIN University of Melbourne

The ‘Breathable Transit’ is a public introduction that re-activates the creek as a recreational refuge for the public to engaged in while coping with the issues of storm water fluctuations. With the common perception of the existing creek isolated as a utilitarian function, the infrastructure of the concrete channel limits the opportunities of what is supposed to be as a public realm. The intent is to revitalise the creek into an active community-oriented open space, naturalising the concrete channel by reorganising the singularity of the creek through shifting and widening of the water profile, transforming it to a flood-resilience creek.

JURY CITATION: The graphical representation of the design is expressly cogent, particularly in its reflection of the site’s terrain.

BLUE GREEN ACUPUNCTURE

TING YU NG University of Western Australia

The “Blue Green Acupuncture” is a concept for using nature and natural systems as a primary tool for climate adaptation and resiliency in Matilda Bay, inspired by the fragility nature of the site as flood protection, as well as spots for restoring and recovery. Matilda Bay is so many things to so many different people – it is a place of beauty, serenity, ecology, recreation, economy, and identity. With careful analysis and consideration to the site. A set of design principles and concept has been made to design. This design proposes not to separate the aesthetic idea of landscape, but rather to integrate them into the school itself. Shaping a vibrant and living framework for adaptation in the face of climate change and sea level rise, where nature improves the resiliency of the bay, our social fabric, and our collective health and well-being. The design strives to rejuvenate the natural habitat within and surrounding the campus. By preserving and protecting existing trees and woodlands, creating a stronger flora and fauna connection. In addition, aiming to enhance students well-being by providing a safe and flexible community that promote cultural diversity and social interaction within the bay. Bringing about a resilience and holistic space for all.

DEW POINT

AHRUM OH Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore

Wondering about the disappearance of a waterway (i.e. canal, river, etc.) from the map, I started researching about the waterway which used to meander through the main stem of Singapore. Paved over Stamford canal is one of the evidences of unlinked or lost memory of Singapore. Rapid urbanization allowed us to achieve better quality of life whereas it took away the small and narrow stream to underground. Now, concrete covers the entire and disturbs the natural hydrologic cycle. The effort to control water brought about consequence for frequent flooding issue. We lost not only visual and close connection to the water but also natural management of flood, and furthermore, its related biodiversity. I hereby reclaim the small waterway to ground surface. Restoration of natural process of treating storm water will provide us a resilient urban space which liaise between human with restored natural wilderness.

JURY CITATION: The Jury is impressed with the level of thought and consideration given to *SCAPE and its surrounding areas, especially with the wider analysis of topography and hydrology. The proposal is well researched with highlights of the historical timeline and problems of Stamford Canal (Orchard Road), that emphasises and promotes water treatment and discharge within *SCAPE, while extending the existing open spaces for flexible uses. While the spatial representation of the proposal could have been further developed to address relationship between the urban development and WSUD features, the Jury appreciates the thorough research that translates to the proposal.

EUPNEA

XUAN HUANG Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore

The starting point of the Eupnea is the issue that due to the urbanization and the prevalence of high technological devices, people in city life are getting used to the fast-paced life that created by the narrower and narrower distance between people on public spaces, and usually, ignore their surrounding environment. Therefore, this project is aimed at creating a space for people to escape from daily life stress, to have a space to take a breath. Obviously, the group of people that are affected most are office workers. For office workers, the places they stay for the most in daily life are working space and home, which makes the in-between space, the commuting space, also called threshold zone, become very important for them.

JURY CITATION: The proposal demonstrates clarity in its minimalistic presentation technique, resulting in a simple, clean and elegant presentation that tells the story of the design. The Jury praises the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to encompass a large amount of information in a clear and organised fashion that is made easy for comprehension.
