PROJECTS FOR PHNOM PENH Urban Green Network Regeneration Urban regeneration is a complex and difficult endeavour to finance. In fact, the current masterplan for Phnom Penh city has been unsuccessful due to non-compliance with instructions and inadequate support from urban actors. The framework approach could be implemented effectively by integrating the existing masterplan through considering negotiation agreement in the entire urban planning process, starting with the analysis level. Continued progress can be made by creating multiple Pilot Project scenarios while considering all of the interests of urban actors (SANTORO C., 2022).

SOUTH DOWNTOWN Road 21 | Emerging Green Network | Urban Lab The appearance of co-existed green infrastructure is obviously emerged at the heart of Royal Palace district. The new city texture is generated by facing infillment towards the old city texture (Riverside) through the adoption of spontaneous construction that was created in pagodas along with the extended strategy of temples. Additionally, it is important to emphasize the accent of the Royal Palace in conjunction with the Hyatt hotel, which creates a sense of valuable city texture and restores the city’s identity.

SOUTH DOWNTOWN Road 21 | Emerging Green Network | Urban Lab The establishment of a perpendicular iron grid as part of the green network on Road 21 is a prominent feature in the Bassac district. This road has undergone three waves of gentrification (small alleys gentrification, villas’ transformation into bars and restaurants, and the growth of condominiums), which has transformed its urban development. The guidelines facilitate landscape recreation while adhering to current regulations that prohibit vehicle access and prevent road expansion, always prioritising pedestrian safety. Moreover, some apartment complexes open their land to commercial activities, both in the front and back, to ensure well-connected green areas. Road 21 has the potential to play a pivotal role in linking two critical interventions. One of these projects will connect down south towards the front green space of the Sofitel Hotel, while the other will reconnect the Pilot Project. It will include the market and school, effectively bridging Koh Pich. WEST INTERVENTION

TOURIST RIVER BOAT TERMINAL Riverside Port and Wetland Regeneration The Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers are integral to Cambodia’s culture and daily life, with a rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. However, given the present state of the river and its abandoned wetland, the absence of public and green amenities remains a concern. To enhance the quality of life, a mass transit system is essential to achieve the end goal of creating a port terminal in the biophilic urban habitat, which aims to link individuals with the river, enhance the local economy, and advance a modern lifestyle that energizes urban society. The design is highly versatile, utilizing the river as a key starting point and offering various leisure amenities for residents in the area. The design integrates green and blue infrastructure to enhance the environment. The implementation of small pavilions provides protection to the wetland while facilitating easy access for the public. The design incorporates a blend of architectural styles, including modernism, tropical modernism, and contemporary styles, making it more enthusiastic.

TOURIST RIVER BOAT TERMINAL
Projecting from the river, formal and informal docks have been constructed on the riverfront to accommodate private and public purposes, respectively. The river edge is protected by rocks, safeguarding the wetland from the river. To connect people with the landscape, small pavilions and vegetable patches have been strategically placed throughout the wetland. Multiple floating decks have been implemented on the water pond to enhance interaction with the neighboring buildings. These include spaces for dancing and performances, leisure and recreational activities, a children’s playground and gym facilities. From the wetlands, the incline slope is functionally constructed with landscape adoption in mind to give access to the back associate buildings. Pedestrian bridges connect all terminal services and internal neighborhood features to the area surrounding the La Poste, promoting interaction and mobility within the district.

Formal and informal docks have been built on the riverfront to cater to private and public purposes, respectively, extending from the river. A range of boat types are provided, catering to various user types, including private and public users.

with the wetland. Create facilities on the wetland including buildings designed for dancing and performances, leisure and recreation, a playground for children, and fitness amenities.
Instead of being vacant, the space is activated with additional activities that correspond to the surroundings.
The tourist port caters for both locals and international travellers, providing facilities to enhance the passenger travel experience and add vibrancy to the surrounding urban area. The building design incorporates various levels of rotation and twisting, creating open-air terraces with elements that offer views of the river. The façade employs local materials with intricate patterns, producing diverse light and shadow effects within the internal spaces. The wood beam structure is also enhanced to further enhance the value of the design.

A pedestrian bridge links the western side of the building within the district through the road section, converting it into a mixed-use area. Additionally, it connects to the northern and southern parts leading to the adjacent building specifically designed for mixed use.

WAT OUNALOM MIXED USE Former T3 Prison Development The vicinity of Wat Ounalom reveals not only cultural and historical aspects, but also residential (shophouses) and commercial aspects (markets). Taking advantage of this opportunity, a 30-storey mixed-use building is designed on the former T3 prison site, which was recently converted from a parking lot into a retail hub. The building component comprises a commercial podium, underground and above-ground carparks, community spaces, and offices that incorporate dedicated green elements. The sky bar on the podium level offers exterior views and links the mixed-use building to other components, such as a theatre, auditorium, music school, and F&B outlets, through a pedestrian bridge that could potentially connect to the buildings of Wat Ounalom. In terms of its structure, the whole structure obviously expose the columns stretching from bottom to the top of the tower. Cantilevered slabs create setbacks, terraces and recesses, with a strong emphasis on incorporating greenery into the design. Sustainable materials are used throughout, with minimal use of glass.

WAT OUNALOM MIXED USE
The mixed-use development encompasses a hotel tower as well as co-working spaces and a commercial podium that houses retail, food and beverage outlets, a learning centre, sports facilities, and a theatre. A pedestrian bridge connects the mixed use to Wat Ounalom pagoda.
To infuse green strategies, the design incorporates vertical greening and plants at different locations, which create various effects on the spaces, such as the terrace, rooftop, and cantilever areas. Additionally, the design features exposed concrete columns that help to identify the buildings’ character.
