Relocation of Cambodian slum dwellers to a safer, self-sufficient, dignified community.

Design Statement The project sited near the Mekong River 12km outside of Phnom Penh, about 2km to the school and community center. The block is fronting the main road with a 100m frontage and a 200m depth. With the rapidly expanding city of Phnom Penh outlying villages are being engulfed as suburbs of the city, many of these villages on the outskirts of the city are slums whose occupants do not own the land they live on. RAW have decided to purchase land near to the school and develop a medium density mixed use residential prototype development to relocate the slum dwellers so they can stay in the community. What can we learn from natural ecosystem to achieve the wholeness? One approach is Permaculture. It is a system of agricultural and social design principles centered around simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems.
Chicken shed & Fish pond
"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system."

Masterplan inspired from traditional Cambodian village pattern Divided into small cluster for water/waste collection
Unit Ground Plan
Unit Upper Plan
Tropical climate design strategies applied: Embrace the traditional life styles by studying vernacular housing/villages. Housing units are able to be customized and further adapted by inhabitants. Orientation: long narrow plan facing the south and north, allowing solar access and ventilation. Ventilation: maximized window openings / minimize internal walls for cross ventilation (movable partition walls are designed), raised floor, high windows for heat release Light structured walls can be constructed with cane skeleton and sheets of bamboo planks. These materials are widely used in warm humid climates, permitting crossventilation.

The Old Gallery Renovation A new entry was designed opposite Cook Phillip Park. This entry has a green wall that cuts through the Parkes-Farmer Wing and breaks the enclosures of the old gallery, indicating the natural history collection inside the museum also responds to the park. A major problem of the old galleries was the lack of unified circulation and clear orientation. After removing the Still Addition ground above , the new atrium with a floating walkway is designed to connect and redirect to the old galleries. The glass ‘curiosity room’ was also added as an extension to the old galleries to break the solidity of the heritage walls without damaging them. A large display shelf is extruded from the underground collection towards the roof and along the path to the new gallery. The display shelf and curiosity rooms reveal the function and contents behind the solid walls and floors, giving visitors a clear vision of the whole space when stand in atrium and allowing the museum to be turned ‘inside out.’
The New Gallery (East Wing) To solve the problem of disconnection between the museum and its surroundings, instead of making an enclosed box, the new wing is fully open to the city and parks, with a sun-filled lounge to the north and learning centre to the east. The glass, translucent polycarbonate façade makes use of the daylight and view for visitors, and it is designed with bay windows to point to the cultural significance of Sydney , integrating the exhibition with Sydney’s culture and natural environment. The new wing also features a journey along ramps. During their journeys, visitors can experience various exhibition spaces, refreshment lounges, and green space, thus minimizing fatigue. The new gallery is connected to the old galleries by a tunnel running through the AMRI building. There is bright void space on both sides of the tunnel, with few disturbances to
