This project required us to redevelop a better livable, which
fit the future needs of a town called the “X” town. Advisably
imagining myself as a mayor of this future town.
This project allows us to investigate more about the history
of a town that includes ancient town, present town and future
town. This is to understand every town’s needs based on the
histories and to achieve a better livable town as required,
focusing more on how to develop a sustainable, greener town
that consist of better facilities and infrastructures.
The “X” town should have 20 – 40 km² of an area with a
population between 80,000 to 120,000 people. Divided into a
group of five, we chose our town to be located next to a sea on
a land.

DEFINITON
A town is a place with many streets and buildings, where
people live and work. Towns are larger than villages and
smaller than cities
These are the largest centres within a local authority area,
with the most services and best accessibility and public
transport services and will serve a wide area with residents
from across the borough, or perhaps in neighbouring boroughs
travelling to use the centre. They will often comprise shopping
centres and/or large groups of shops. Town centres will also
include at least one supermarket and a range of other services
including health, leisure, education/community services,
library, financial services, post office, cafes, restaurants and
other entertainment uses.
HISTORY
The first development town was Beit Shemesh, founded in 1950
around 20 km from Jerusalem.
Built in Israel in order to provide permanent
housing to a large influx of Jewish refugees from
Arab countries, Holocaust survivors from Europe
and other new immigrants (Olim), who arrived to
the newly established State of Israel. The towns
were designated to expand the population of the
country's peripheral areas and to ease development
pressure on the country's crowded centre.

Chongwu Ancient Town
Chongwu Ancient Town is located in Quanzhou, a historical city
which was reputed for being "one of the largest ports in the world,"
said Marco Polo, in China's Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368).
Built in 1384 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to fight against
the Japanese pirates, the town is the best-preserved T-shaped stone-
walled city in China, a historical wonder in the country's coastal
protection history. The architecture, featuring the heavy local granite, is
a prominent feature of the town. A large sculpture park is located on the
narrow strip south of the fortress, between the city wall and the beach.
Many foreign visitors are very impressed by the remarkable stone
carving artworks.

Marina Centre
The Downtown Core is a 266-hectare urban planning area in the
south of the city-state of Singapore. The Downtown Core surrounds the
mouth of the Singapore River and southeastern portion of its watershed,
and is part of the Central Area, Singapore's central business district. It is
one of the most dense areas in Singapore, even more than other
divisions in the Central Area, to the extent that much of it is filled with
skyscrapers. As its name implies, it forms the economic core of
Singapore, including key districts such as Raffles Place and key
administrative buildings such as the Parliament House, the Supreme
Court and City Hall as well as numerous commercial buildings and
cultural landmarks.
HISTORY
The mouth of the Singapore River contained the old harbour for the
Port of Singapore, so naturally, the city grew around it. As a fledgling
colony, the area which is now known as the Downtown Core was the
financial, administrative and commercial centre of the colony. In 1823,
Singapore was reorganised according to the Raffles Plan of Singapore by
Sir Stamford Raffles, which specified elements like the Commercial Square
(now Raffles Place) and the European Town as well as various other
commercial and administrative entities located between them. This area
later became the Downtown Core.

Gardens by the Bay brings to life
Parks' vision of creating a City in a
Garden. The Gardens captures the
essence of Singapore as the
premier tropical Garden City with
the perfect environment in which
to live and work - making
Singapore a leading global city of
the 21st century.
Sustainability in the Gardens
Underlying the concept of Gardens by the Bay are the principles of environmental
sustainability. Much effort was made to plan and design for sustainable cycles in energy and
water throughout Bay South Garden.
Energetics of the Conservatories
Comprising two glass biomes, the Conservatories replicate the cool-
dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid sub-tropical regions and
the cool-moist climate of the Tropical Montane region. They house a
diverse collection of plants that are not commonly seen in this part of the
world and are of high conservation value.
The conservatories are a statement in sustainable engineering and apply
a suite of cutting-edge technologies for energy-efficient solutions in
cooling. This suite of technologies can help to achieve at least 30%
savings in energy consumption, compared to conventional cooling
technologies.

15

1) Minimising Solar Heat Gain The
two conservatories are fitted with
specially selected glass that allows
optimal light in for plants, but reduces a
substantial amount of heat. The roof is
fitted with a sensor-operated retractable
sails that opens automatically to
provide shade to the plants when it gets
too hot.
2) Cooling only the occupied
zones The Conservatories apply the
strategy of cooling only the lower
levels, thus reducing the volume of air
to be cooled. This is achieved through
thermal stratification – ground cooling
by chilled water pipes cast within the
floor slabs enabling cool air to settle at
the lower occupied zone while the
warm air rises and is vented out at high
levels.
3) De-humidifying the air before cooling To reduce the amount of
energy required in the cooling process, the air in the Flower Dome is de-
humidified by liquid desiccant (drying agent) before it is cooled. This
desiccant is recycled using the waste heat from the burning of the
biomass.
4) Generating energy and harnessing waste heat Electricity is generated
on-site to run the chillers that cool the Conservatories. At the same time,
waste heat is captured in the
process to regenerate the
liquid desiccant. This co-
generation of energy is
achieved by the use of a
Combined Heat Power
(CHP) steam turbine that is
fed by horticultural waste
from the Gardens and other
parks around Singapore.
This reduces dependency on
the electrical grid

This building will be designed to cope with a range of natural and
manmade disasters. Although the brief is to build a disaster resistant
building, not all possible disasters can be designed for. But for those that
can, Safe House will be able to provide either a temporary or permanent
solution. Each possible disaster will be catered for in some way. There
are no priorities for this, simply because the technology used must be
transferable to other regions of the world, with different stresses from
differing threats.
