Group members: DOAN Anh Khoa LE Cong Khanh HOANG Pham Thu Truc NGUYEN Thi Minh Phuong
SITE LOCATION
Location: Ca Mau city, Ca Mau, Vietnam. Time: February – August 2014. The thesis studio lasted for 6 months in which students started with analysing the existing condition of Ca Mau. Each group come up with a concept for every specific site and developed theirs idea. At the same time, each students picked up a theme to research and their design would based on the result of researching. Our group study area locates in the south of Ca Mau, a suburb area. Thanks for its location, the site is indeed the transition between urban quarter and rural area, simultaneously, between a higher land and lowland. Its topograpy is the result of inhabitant’s earthwork. With a low topography, the site has directly been affected by the problem of climate change and sea level rise. The site has proved to be a mistaken of urbanization in Ca Mau.

Green infrastructure development in Ca Mau
URBAN STREETS
Individual Thesis| 2014
GENERAL CONCEPT
Location: Ca Mau city, Ca Mau, Vietnam. Time: February – August 2014.
In general, the main concept is using street as connections to link the core , which is the water retention lake in this specific study area, and open spaces surrounded together, creating a continous system of lively habitat from the sub urban quarter to the forest, the destination of the city.
The individual thesis includes theories part and design part in which we applied result from theories research into practical design. The theme I chose was Green Infrastructure in application to designing Urban Street. ROADS OF CA MAU Life on streets in Camau is vivid with many activities: vendors, shops, cafés. Roads in Ca Mau is paved with asphalt that prevents infiltration of rainwater + drainage system is not compatible enough therefore, flooding becomes an severe issue for urban life.
Based on the existing street nework, new alleys are added in order to complete the network. Then connect the green or blue core of the site together.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE Facing the flooding issues, green infrastructure seems to be a suitable solution. The green infrastructure approach concerns of creating walkable space that help reducing stormwater runoff and filtration and also public space for social exchange. ADVANTAGES The availability of water surface in block structure is the advantage of the site as the lake or pond serve as immediately rainwater runoff basin. Plus, several open green space in form of left-over spaces exist in the site. Green infrastructure offers opportunities to connect those spaces, making a coherent system of continous habitat by green street corridors with existence of all types of green structure in Ca Mau.

The primary street run from the National road directly to the new market. This is the typical main street with mixed use of residential and commercial groundfloor. It is 6.5m wide excluding 2m of permeable parking on the two edges. The sidewalk is paved with permeable material. To increase the space for pedestrian and commercial activities further setback is set and using same level tree trenches for continous feeling of space and in combination with green material, provide place for water runoff. 11

The two parallel streets with similarity in space layout are two mixed use streets. To enforce the intensity of groundfloor, continous corridor is created. The corridors composed by 3m setback of ground floor and 45cm high platform to avoid flooding. It also creates continuity in walking space. The difference in levels brings disctinctive feeling for pedestrians. The corridors are extension of shop. Permeable pavement used for parking and sidewalk and also stormwater planter and tree trenchs for collecting water runoff. To distinguish the two parallel streets, distinctive, street trees with different color of flowers are selected for each street. 13

DIVERSE LANDSCAPES
Studio Antwerp South|||| 2013
Tutor: Ivan Llach Group members: NGUYEN Minh Ha HOANG Pham Thu Truc TRAN Dang Phuong Dan NGUYEN Thi Minh Phuong Location: Antwerp-South, Antwerp, Belgium Time: September - December 2013
SITE LOCATION
Niew Zuid, locates at the south end of the Green Singel and the Scheldt quay, is the former railway site which is now a vacant land. The site has spacious greenery with valuable vegetation and the railway traces that continues the city’s riverside urban structure. The purpose of the studio is providing Antwerp a new district in which presents variety of urban life, variety of integration between built and open spaces.

st STAGE: THEME ANALYSIS - GREEN AND BLUE
The studio consists of 3 stages. 1st stage: Work in pairs to analysis the city with 5 themes. Every 2 pairs picked the same theme and analysised in city scale and site scale. 2nd stage: Work in group of 4 and developed concept for the site. 3rd stage: Group of 4 divided in 2, work in pair, each picked up a strategic place in site and continue to design in detail of housing typologies and open spaces, following the previous concept of group of 4. The project aims for a new urban area in which the integration between built and open spaces are highly concerned. This is where people can fully enjoy totally new lifestyle with the variety of typologies, greenery and more of water interaction.

The new structure follows old system of the riverside grids, creating the stripes. Different housing typologies open toward a variety of new green spaces filled in the stripes. The green stripes expand the valuable existing vegetation and also is a continuation of the Green Singel to the waterfront. The strategy only rises partly at building stripes to around 1.5m higher and slightly lower green stripes. A porous ground floor generates a continuous walking system through open spaces. The project expands the system to both the vacant land below the site and the waterfront. The proposal for the new park is changing topography by steps, slopes to create totally different dynamic landscape. Produced by: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6): HOANG, (7), (8), (9), (10), (11): HOANG + NGUYEN (Ha)
The housing typologies were categorized based on its shape, spaces it create. There are 5 typologies: Type 1: U-shape type (7). Combination of u-shape buildings, a continous building that has open spaces toward both side and porous ground floor. Type 2: Linear type (8). With 2 lines of 10m wide buidings varies in lengths. Type 3: Closed type (9). Less open courtyard yet still can access into easily by tunnels on ground floor. This typology is suitable for dwelling and public service. Type 4: Tower (10). Consists of an out-standing tower for housing and lower levels for commercial and offices. The block opens toward the existing green space. Maximum height is 70m. Type 5: Solid block (11) Public building with solid block and shading part that surrounding by green space and can only accessed by service roads. 17

APPRECIATING THE SITE
Location: 3/2 Street, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Time: 2011 Hoa Binh Theater - a landmark of the site
3/2 Street is one of the main connections from the West to city centre. It serves high amount of transportation and also commercial, culture of District 10. The studio is first studio that fully developed a urban design project step by step. Stage 1: Appreciating the site Students worked in group of 9 and divided into smaller groups, each focused on 1 theme amongs: urban structure, physical composition, economics, society, environment, housing typologies. At the end of this stage, we are required to propose a VISIONS and OBJECTIVES for the site.

In this stage, requirement was to develop guidelines and coding for specific elements of the site. This part is focusing on theme “STREETSCAPE” as it aims for creating an attractive streetscape for the new axis of 3/2 Street. The goal is set as “FRIENDLY - ENVIRONMENT - FRIENDLY”. In term of that goal, I was trying to create an transportation axis that makes users feel comfortalbe as much as possible but friendly to environment as well. The guidelines include these design elements and how they was deposit on the street: - Pavement * Sidewalk * Parking * Materials * Curbs and ramps * Wayfinding for the blind * Intersection of streets. - Alleys - Public transit - Vegetation - Street furniture * Seatings * Litter bins * Planter boxes, tree grates * Lighting system Finally, a coding table including detail choice of material, furniture, vegetation...

SITE LOCATION
Location: Ward 14, District 8, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Time: 2011
IMPRESSION COLLAGE Urban Tissue Design Studio is in the second year course.15 students participants worked on a 2ha site and individually developed 1:50 housing unit (in models) with a requirement of flexibility. The site is ward 14th, district 8, HCMC. It is surrounding by canals and connects with other ward by bridges. The area is terribly polluted. Streets are almost in good condition but not in the alleys. Similar housing typologies. Slump houses locate along the canal. Lazy life, low pace. Then, in groups of 3, students proposed site strategies (also in model at 1:250) for an old factory site at the corner of the ward. The factory is going to be taken away and replaced by new residential area with 200 housing units that provide dwelling for over 800 inhabitants in total.
32
Produced by: HOANG
FLEXIBLE HOUSING TYPOLOGY The measurement of one plot is 6x14m. Land price is high but the need of extension is always there. It is not possible to extend the unit horizontally. Therefore, this proposal unit offers a module for vertical extension and flexible space of living.
Layout plan of units
One side of unit is opened to get more natural light
No wall is attached to the ceiling in order to let ventilation flows better.
GROUND FLOOR
1ST FLOOR
A basic unit is based on the typical housing type in Vietnamese city: tube house. It consists of a ground floor and an optional upper floor. The unit can be extended vertically by adding another floors. The space of upper floor is not divided by concrete wall so it is more flexible. The corridor is completely opened to one side, giving space for green space, natural lighting and ventilation. Movable, foldable walls offer more flexible size and usage of room. By moving the wall, spaces will be divided differently.
Example of moving wall used to divide spaces in master bedroom.
Model of 2 basic floor of each units, included the movable and foldable walls.

AGGLOMENRATION OF UNITS
Location of factory site
Each color model represented different housing typologies. - The reds and the creams are just 14m in length, the black keep its 16m length to serve the idea on the sliding wall. - The creams can be extended in vertical way so we often put this type one on one to protect idea of expanding vertically by inner staircase. - The reds can only be enlarged horizontally or a small up stair room in vertical way in order that it will flexibly join with others types or with themselves. Emphasize on community, we try to create more open space for public activities and connection within the site and the old residential area. - 2 half-basement parking lots to save space and expand distance between 2 blocks. - 6 main public spaces: 2 betweens blocks, lie at 2 side of the site; 1in the center; 1 small square in the front, faces to bigger canal; the last is canal banks. - Streets that go through half underground parking lot so that safer for people walking in the site. (the yellow presents for the half basement) - An eight-floor apartment at the corner as a landmark. 34

The eight-floor apartment is at the corner with the ground floor is used for commercial purpose and a hall to provide access. There is a large sharing balcony at the 5th floor maybe used for cafeĚ or restaurant (1). The tower is 5m set back so as not to block view of other block. The left block is a combination of cream and black housing typologies. Houses are put next to each other and have sharing corridors at the front. The gaps between blocks of this part designed with rectangular shape. Each rectangular has different height and material for different atmosphere (2). Plus, people can access to the open space easily since there are several accesses. Produced by: HOANG

The workshop included: - 6 days group fieldwork within one specific theme (Water Lines, Urban Fabrics, Periurban areas), investigating sample tissues within the transforming territory of Ca Mau. By various means and methods including photographing, mapping, sketching and interviewing, we tried to gather information of urban life in many aspects: agricultural - aquacultural life, economics, history, housing typologies, the trend of development and the logic behind. - 2 days of intensive interpretative mapping workshop (individual assignment). The final product was in form of a poster that express the individual’s impression of Ca Mau. - Attendance of guest lectures + 2 days of final presentation/jury/exhibition of the work.
Assemblage of samples. We picked 4 samples of 400x400m with different layout to have the total idea of ward 8.
The workshop is a valuable experience in which I learnt to work in international team, methods of mapping and working,

- All houses in block buildt by contractor at same time (paid sepretly) - No mention of the shops function Sells coffe/sodas to workers But she says most workers uses the road in the back of the build ing. Therefore the buisiness is bad Only sells a few drinks to drivers parking trucks - Feels the site is noisy and smelly - Higher electricity and water cost in the industrial site - Pay 150.000 VND/month for renting the land - Want to move out of the industrial site is she had more money - Identical shops next door + on opposite side She feels unlucky because of the better placement on the other side. Where the shops sell identical items but have better business Other shops around the site sells different items. Specialized. Good relatinship to one next door neighbor, other one not so much. Can be seen in placement/facing direction of outdoor furniture

Future projects
After fielwork, we use mapping and layering method to produce essential maps. These map reflected our briefly understanding of the site. 40
View of the new port, the existing museum and 2 new buildings will be the landmarks of the port
Conceptual master plan
The new area with high density of green space, step housings provides view equally to the river.
From the old port, we proposed a new mixed use area with marina landscape which increases robutness and tourisms value of the site. Besides, the other side of the river will be new center and the old historical museum give the site more attractions.
A new elevated high way enhance mobility and permeability from old to new area. 41

The Green Summer Campaigne of HCMCUARC that took place in HCMC was to help kindergartens, primary schools in NHA BE, a sub-urban district of Saigon: - Son Ca Kindergarten - Lam Van Ben primary school - Trang Tan Khuong primary school - Nha Be’s Chilren Center. We were responsible for redrawing the walls, corridors, library of those schools in order to help the schools have better appearance. The campaigne lasted for 1 month and those days were memorable. I was able to meet new friends, learnt to work in a group with different backgrounds and seeked for nothing but the joy of working and helping each other.
