Introduction & Analysis

Age

1

■ Housing -Segregated community and simple use housing ■ Transportation- high car dependency, high community flow, high traffic congestion, unfriendly pedestrian activities ■ Economy- inactive commercial and business activities ■ Facility- low intensity of use for facilities and green spaces, inadequate facilities for aging population ■ Geography- varying topography, boundaries

● Increasing population due to housing intervention, high flowing population taken by MRT stations Underdeveloped land parcels ● Identity set by government - Subregional centre

WEAKNESS ◆ Transportation-Convenient public transportation based on 4 MRT stations and extensive bus service ◆ Facility- large number of sport facilities, schools, parks

Step 1:

• Retaining the peripheral blocks for historical preservation • Selecting some for internal blocks for future intervention

Current HDB at Periphery

Step 2: •

Mixed-use HDB

3

INTERVENTION - Centre

•

Providing new mixed-use HDB typology inside clusters to intensify the space Retaining the NEX and demolishing the others in Serangoon Central

• Creating the looped traffic system on the ground level • The ground floor would now serve as the service and infrastructural floor. E.g cargo lift, drop-off points, service points, taxi-stands and carparking.

Drop-off Points

Step 3:

Step 4:

Objectives for platforms:

1. Creating higher accessibility for people to the centre 2. Free-barrier space for the elderly because of the flat platform 3. Creating a separated system of walking and driving & Reducing the traffic junction in the centre

Light up the Platform in Almere

3

INTERVENTION - Centre

• Establishing the platform in the second level covering the Serangoon Central • Linking with the surrounding HDBs and new type blocks though current pedestrian bridges and new built elevated links

Step 5:

Visual Corridor

INTERVENTION - Centre

• Selecting the surrounding important landmarks and major junctions • Creating these three visual corridors to link with the surrounding nodes • Creating public spaces where these three visual corridors are meeting

3

Step 6:

• Creating the skewed and horizontal walkways to further divide the space and increase the accessibility • The white boxes are the guidelines for future building constructions
