ARCH 7112 DESIGN STUDIO 2 SLUM RELOCATION MIXED USED RESIDENTIAL IN CAMBODIA YUNJING GUAN 3383621

PROJECT RATIONALE THE PRIMARY AIM OF THIS DESIGN IS TO PROVIDE THE RELOCATED RESIDENTS A FRIENDLY AND LIVELY LIVING ENVIRONMENT, WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED AS AN INTIMATE AND SECURE ATMOSPHERE IN THE DESIGN. THE CONCEPT BEGINS WITH A COMMON PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF HUMAN: THE NUMBER OF ACQUAINTANCE OF ONE PERSON IS LIMITED. WHEN A PERSON IS EXPOSED TO 500 OTHER PEOPLE, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT MOST OF THEM ARE STRANGERS. THE INTIMACY OF LIVING ENVIRONMENT IS CREATED BY SEPARATING THE STRANGERS. THE PLANNING OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA IS HIERARCHICAL, AND HAS FOUR LAYERS: SITE, COMMUNITY, CLUSTER, HOUSE. THE SMALLER THE SCALE, THE CLOSER THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NEIGHBOURS IS. APART FROM SEPARATING PEOPLE, THE OTHER ASPECT OF THE DESIGN IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITHIN THE SAME COMMUNITY. COMMUNITY CENTRES CORRESPONDING TO THE SCALE OF LAYERS ARE PROVIDED. IN TERMS OF THE MODULE DESIGN, AS IT IS ON THE LAYER OF “HOUSE”, AN OPEN DESIGN IS DESIRED. THE SERVICE AREA IS DETACHED FROM THE LIVING AREA. THE CONNECTION IN BETWEEN IS SHARED BY TWO UNITS, WHICH CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR VISUAL AND SOCIAL CONNECTION.

GENERATION OF MASTER PLAN

• SPREAD 2 CLUSTERS OF BLOCKS RANDOMLY

• ROTATE TO NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTATION TO MAXIMISE VENTILATION AND MINIMISE EXPOSURE TO EAST WEST SUN

• FURTHER SPREAD OUT HOUSES TO OPTIMISE VENTILATION • ARRANGE COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS IN ORDER FOR EFFICIENCY

• GROUP HOUSES INTO SMALL COMMUNITIES
