Island Grid: Radial 3. Name of the city; ancient, present and
future city. What was the significant information about the city?
What information that you will consider for your better town? (Or
what did you learn from it? Thera, Greece Located in a busy trading
route Became prosperous despite there are no natural resources
Organised street grid Destroyed by a volcanic eruption My town
should be situated at the Straits of Malacca (busiest trading route
in Malaysia) for bustling trading economical activities to boost
the towns income Street grids should be well organized to enhance
efficiency Disaster relief plans should be implemented Tyre,
Lebanon Wealthy due to production of a rare purple dye Always
invaded by foreign forces Security and military are important in
defending the town. Natural resources should be used wisely Your
refined research on townsancient city/town 4. Name of the town;
ancient, present and future city. What was the significant
information about the town? What information that you will consider
for your better town? (Or what did you learn from it? Male,
Maldives Heavily urbanized due to its small size Has an artificial
beach Centre of all administration and bureaucracy Tourism and
fishing are the main economic activities Tourism can provide my
town income even if there are no natural resources Activities such
as fishing and exchange of goods can provide income and job
opportunities for my citizens Trogir, Croatia Buildings have strong
Greek, Roman and Venetian architecture Has many churches, towers
and palaces Architecture of structures in the town should show
local elements Religious buildings should be provided for the
citizens Your refined research on town present town 5. Name of the
town; ancient, present and future city. What was the significant
information about the city? What information that you will consider
for your future city? (Or what did you learn from it? Lusail, Qatar
Promises a life of relaxation, with facilities such as spa
treatment centres, swimming pools,, green gardens and tennis
courts. Has an entertainment city with a theme park Has an iconic
shopping street Has an Energy City that is totally based on
research and technology A theme park and entertainment centre
should be added in my town A sector specialized on shopping and
daily necessities should be built A place for facilities based on
research and technology should be planned near the main energy
sources of the town. Your refined research on town future/better
city 6. Name of the town; ancient, present and future city. What
was the significant information about the city? What information
that you will consider for your future city? (Or what did you learn
from it? Masdar City, UAE A wind tower sucks air from above and
pushes a cooling breeze through Masdars streets. The site is raised
above the surrounding land to create a slight cooling effect.
Buildings are clustered close together in order to create streets
and walkways shielded from the sun. Has massive solar panels to
harvest solar energy As a tropical town in the middle of the sea, I
should implement systems that utilize sea breeze to cool down the
town. The town should have massive solar panels to harvest solar
energy. 7. What are the important information or guideline and
consideration when planning for a better town? List it down this
will be your guideline when creating the town. I used plant cells
as my inspiration for planning the town. Zoning: Central Government
Nucleolus: Government buildings, law and administration Education
Nuclear Matrix: Schools, Universities Business and Commercial
Matrix: Central hub for business and commercial activities
Mitochondria I: Solar panels, Industrial area, Technology hub, Wind
harvesting Mitochondria II: Agriculture, Product processing, Waste
management, Fertiliser production, Biomas production, Recycling,
Solar panels, Wind harvesting Residential Cytoplasm: Religious
centres, Mamak stalls, Residential buildings, Entertainment places,
Vertical parking, Bike trails, Walkways Chloroplast: Large green
garden, Forest reserve, Sports and recreation, Theme park Lysozyme:
Landfill, Parks built on top of landfill, Extension of the
Chloroplast Plasma Membrane: Port, Site of exchange of materials,
Shopping malls 8. What are the elements will you include in your
better town? Please list it out as your check list. Examples
infrastructures, schools, hospitals, bicycle path etc Stadium
Sports and Recreation centre Schools Universities Museums
Performing arts centre Plazas Police stations Fire stations
Emergency relief centres Food hub Vertical farms Mosques Temples
Churches Docks Shopping malls Mamak stalls Recycling centres
Hospitals Sewerage systems Water irrigation Power grid Gardens
Forest reserves Theme park Water drainage Flood and Fire prevention
Pasar Security patrol booths Shops 9. What are the sustainable or
green approaches of your town? Rainwater collection system Grey
water reusing system Pocket gardens Forest reserves Roof gardens
Usage of renewable energy resources Central Rotating Nucleus for
maximum transportation efficiency Using sewer water to water plants
(Fertiliser) Anti-Clog drainage system with two layers (Flood
prevention) Vertical farming Seawater treatment system Wind
harvesting system Building parks on landfills 10. What is the aim
of your town? As an education hub? Tourism? Business? Give
explanations and examples. Tourism: Theme park at the Chloroplast
Zone attracts tourists from many places. Sports events attract
sports fans too. Port: Long Plasma Membrane zones that runs along
the circumference of the island serve as sites of exchange of
goods. Education: Most of the Nucleus Zone is dedicated towards
education. University attracts international students. 11. What is
the transportation and transportation links? Why do you choose it?
LRT systems run along the radial grid. The Red Line is a ring line
that runs around the Central Rotating Nucleus while the Blue Line
is a ring line that runs along with the circumference of the town.
The Central Rotating Disc rotates for 2 revolutions per day. Each
revolution lasts 6 hours. Residents must know when their
destination in the disc is aligned with their current position.
(Etc: the primary school sector is aligned with the Residential
Cytoplasm at 6 am. Hence, the resident who wants to go to that
particular sector will take the LRT line to the Red Line and walk
into the disc at 6 am). If the resident is late or early, he or she
can always take the Red Line that runs around the disc. This system
reduces the amount of congested traffic as there will be no rush
hour due to this system. Residents of different categories will hop
onto the disc on different hours to their destinations. (Etc:
University students hop onto the disc from the Residential
Cytoplasm at 12pm while workers at the Business and Commercial
Matrix hop onto the disc at 9 am. 12. Bike sharing systems will be
implemented throughout the town. People can just take a random bike
at the Bike Sharing Centre and cycle to their destination for free.
If the bike is private, the cyclist can park his or her bike in a
Vertical Bike Parking System. Bridges will be built between
buildings to increase walkability. It also plays a role in
evacuating people in case of a fire. There will be solar-powered
hovercrafts that transport people in and out of the island. This
service is provided at the Plasma Membrane zones 13. Any other
extra added quality about your city? Social? Jobs? Food? Gardens
and greenery cools down this tropical town. This increases its
walkability. Job opportunities are abundant. People can work in the
tourism industry, industrial industry, agricultural industry,
education industry, administrative industry and maritime industry.
The food of the town is produced at Mitochondria II. Sewer water is
transported from the neighbouring Residential Cytoplasm. The water
is then processed and used for agricultural purposes in vertical
farms. Food is grown in these farms and harvested. The food is then
processed and transported to the Food Sector (where people in the
Central Rotating Nucleus hop off the disc for their lunch break)
and the Plasma Membrane (where the ports and shopping malls are).
The food is organic and spent less time being transported to
consumers, which makes the food more healthy. 14. Which one are you
doing? And why? How will this benefit the residents? A town with a
lake A town with a river flowing right through the town A town on a
small island A town next to the sea or estuary I am doing A town on
a small island. This is due to the fact that it s more logical to
build new towns on artificial islands in Malaysia as Malaysia is a
small country and there is not much land available for new
development unless we sacrifice our precious rainforests. 15. Which
grid are you doing? And WHY? How will it be effective or appealing?
Square grid Triangle grid Hexagon grid Radial grid A mix grid *with
approval of lecturers I am doing the Radial grid because my town is
circular in shape. It is also easier for people to navigate
themselves in the town as the grid goes accordingly to the shape of
the artificial island where the city is built on. 16. Please show
your rough draft of your town. The Master Plan drawn on the
selected grid. Do indicate where things are. 17. Please show your
rough draft of your town zonings. Use the master plan and over lay
with the zonings. 18. Please show your rough draft of your town
transportation links and to include pedestrian path and bicycle
path etc. 19. DO NOT submit as a pdf.. As we will write our
opinions and feed back on the slide. Thank you. 20. Feedback from
Ms Delliya: It should not be an artificial island. Thanks.
