LOCATION

Design Site

Ho Chi Minh City District Ward

People in Binh Dong wharf have lived in alleys for many years dating back to when Tau Hu canal is the busiest marketplace for merchants. Alley have emerged into their style of living such as using the alley roads as it their properties due to the lack of space in their own houses. There are many uses for the “shared space” in the alley like parking, selling food, gathering, coffee shops,...

These activities can take up half the width of the alley, therefore, although many alley are 4-4,5m wide, ambulances or fire trucks have a difficult time to enter the alleys. This is a threat to the safety of the dwellers area.

HISTORY CONTEXT

The site location used to be a dangerous spot famous for drug dealers and thefts, fortunately, the area is more safe now and become a ideal place to live in.

The citizens here used to be merchants along Canal River in the old days but now most of them are workers for the nearby factories.

MASTER PLAN

Our solution is to provide three levels of apartment: 14-storeys, 9-storeys and 6-storeys so that both the current and the new people that come to the place can adapt to the new way of living easily.

Moreover, the project provide for the surrounding area amenities such as green parks and gardens, markets, communitie houses, health centers, kindergartens,... so that the area’s value can be increased.

14-storeys, 102 units

9-storeys, 48 units

14-storeys, 78 units

6-storeys, 36 units

Health Center

Community House

Kindergarten

The project splits into two parts, the front part is more active with activities, shops, markets and high-rise buildings, which bring a feeling of a modern city. The back part is more private and peaceful with gardens, community house and low buildings, which makes the dwellers feel more like in a suburban area.

6-Storeys Ground Plan

The biggest building with 108-units and 14-units has the 1st floor for commercial use, 2nd floor for parking and the 3rd floor with the shared garden.

The builing is facing the canal and the main road and surrounded by private parks and commercial area.

Locating on the Pham Van Dong Boulevard and near various universities, schools, new neighborhoods within 2 kilometers. This leads to the rise of the needs for accomodation for students, workers in the areas.

This also leads to overcroweded in most of the narrow alleys that can load huge amount of traffic that occurs on a daily basis. Moreover, the roads system in the site are unorganized, spontaneous and not efficient.

CURRENT LAND USE CLASSIFICATION

Through the cuurent landuse map which shows the current state of this site: Lack of green and public space. Moreover, it also shows that the common occupation of this area is waste colleting which pretty obvious due to the area of waste collection centers nearby.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

(1-Left Above) “So Thung” is the name of this site waste collection center area. The area is infamous for being the center of illegal activities from gangs. However, the name has faded over time due to the urbanization such as the construction of Pham Van Dong boulevard. Nowadays, the area’s identity has gone but the livelihood from waste picking is still remained.

(2-Left Below) Besides waste picking, farming also plasys an important role in this area. Although the lacking of spaces for gardening, they still find ways to create their own farming land like exploiting the vacant land beside the railways.

(3-Below) The map is about the trash flow in the area. It illustrates the current issues from the trash collecting industry and how they affect directly to the adjacent areas. It includes both formal and informal routes.

PROPOSAL DESIGN

Base on overall data from the site analyzation. Our goal is to create a circular economy which will improve the residential income, improve the natural environment and also create a friendly and dynamic community

The concept plan of green belt show the spatial connections of the new “Sponge” landscape, farmlands and sports facitlities.

To maintain the trash collect ing livelihood we have create trash system which is organized and formalized

collectcreate a organized

Moreover, we also solve the heaavy traffic jam between small alleys base on our proposed traffic system.

Implementing more trees and plantations in the area within the public parks, green insulated grounds,... will increase the overall aethestics as well as the comfort for the area. The designs aim to create a vibrant living spaces that will help revive the canal side landscape and also improve the overall living standards for every communities in the area.

Bio-Enroaching City

Finalists - International Design Competition: Reimagining cities toward Carbon Neutrality

Location: North Phuoc Thang, Vung Tau, Viet Nam

Time: Summer 2023

Type: Competition, Urban Planning, Urban Design

Role: Main Concept, Drawings

Software Used: QGIS, AutoCAD, SketchUP, Photoshop.

This international competion was held by ISCM (UEH) in collaboration with The People’s Committee of Vung Tau City in order to vision a new urban planning for North Phuoc Thang area, which is the gateway of Vung Tau City. The overall design aims to create a vibrant urban area which attracts investments, visitors,... while maintain Carbon Neutral goals.

Our team are proud to be listed as Top 15 out of over 140 entries and 15 countries from across the world.

DEVELOPEMENT PHASE

In order to build a “Bio-Encroaching City”, infrastructure is first developed to give access to the area from other regions an interal circulation towards green activation spots. As a result, by 2040, numerous major carbon sinks area being created in the area’s core and periphery, spreading green space towards the housing area.

- Bio-Encroaching

Our objectives is for the area to become a “Bio-Encroaching City” in 2050, with multiple carbon sinks that are both natural (water surfaces, green parks,...) and man-made (Direct Air Capture facilities, pocket farms, green roofs,...) throughout the North Phuoc Thang area, reaching Carbon Neutrality and eliminate exceeded carbon usage.

The North Phuoc Thang Central intergrated renewable energy into the facade building scale and public transit as well as sustainable materials to promote carbon sinks such as farm soils, wetlands, and forests through the use of advanced air and water treatment technology.
