  • Singapore has seen a phenomenal and an unprecedented transformation from a swampland to a high density urban environment since its independence in 1965, made possible largely and single-handedly by the sustained efforts of its government. Indeed, urban space is a key vehicle for achieving urban social, environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The dense urban context in Singapore has seen an emergence and increase in elevated spaces in the form of sky-gardens, sky-bridges and sky-courts in a range of building types, seemingly seeking to tie together the different horizontal and vertical components of the city. This paper, therefore, examines the effectiveness of elevated urban spaces and pedestrian networks in Singapore and their ability to contribute to the horizontal to vertical transitions, and consequently to the urban vitality and accessibility. It does this through the analysis of two key developments: Marina Bay Sands and the Jurong Gateway. In particular, it considers the implications of certain constraints placed on urban spaces by their inherent location at height, in addition to the familiar privatization of public spaces, over-management of spaces, and their somewhat utilitarian characteristics. The paper argues that some of these issues may pose detrimental effects on the publicness of these spaces that in turn may lead to such spaces being underused and therefore adding redundancies and further stress to Singapore's urban land. Finally, the paper outlines key strategies that may help overcome the aforementioned issues, including the disjuncture associated with elevated spaces such that they may become a seamless extension of the urban spaces on ground.

  • The purpose of this study is to find the characteristics of planning factors to the outdoor space of the olympic village munchen. The result of the research are follows; 1) The horizontal gardens of the low buildings and hanging gardens on the terraces of the high-rise buildings are intended as a continuation of the concept of the modelled landscape. 2) By virtue of the choice of the type of building and the way in which the buildings are staggered, the residents have an unimpaired view of the green spaces and recreation areas. 3) Leisure value is further enhanced by the proximity of the residential arms to the footpath running north to south. 4) The terraces allow the residents to enjoy more sun and sky, so that the view into the distance is the rule. 5) To improve orientation, the pedestrian paths to the residential wings are also situated directly over the underground vehicle-access roads.

  • As the workplace evolves in our vertical cities, the need for "think spaces" and the public realm to meet, create and innovate will become integral to tall buildings. These people places are designed to address the social challenges and enhance the co-working environments which are emerging in the dense urban context of our future cities. The design of sky terraces and the "spaces between" offer a greener, more humane and smarter work environment for the future. The public realm should no longer be held down, fixed to the ground plane, but rather become part and parcel of the upper levels of our workplace centers. These collective spaces in our workplace centers must provide a three dimensional matrix of connected and identifiable platforms to leverage the open and progressive future way of working. This will enable social networking and idea sharing, and create multi-dimensional, multi-level business incubators for innovation and creativity. The BCO ( British Council of Offices) has performed a landmark Wellness Matters Report which provides an exemplary roadmap for the future of the workplace. Our future vertical cities must also provide for serendipity in the workplace; a key attribute to drive the information exchange and collaboration that are proven to provide positive and progressive business outcomes. In addition to demonstrating examples of existing built work and the concept of the integrated vertical public realm, the presentation also will consider and define wellness in the workplace as a critical factor in our design strategies and our future workplace environments Hanging Gardens, Roof Terraces and the Vertical Plazas; designed for interchange, wellness, animation and collaboration.

  • 본 연구는 유네스코 세계문화유산인 중국 강소성(江蘇省) 소재 소주고전원림(蘇州古典園林) 수경관(水景觀)을 조명한 결과이다. 문헌조사 및 현장조사를 통해 입수구와 출수구 그리고 주변 수경요소 간의 상호관련성을 정량적으로 탐색으로써 중국 고전원림 수구(水口) 고유의 객관적 특성을 파악하는 한편, 한국 전통원림과의 차이점을 준거할 수 있는 기초자료를 모색하고자 한 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 소주고전원림의 수공간 평균 면적은 1,680.7m2로 계상되었는데 이는 전체 원림면적의 21.3%를 차지하는 것으로 원림별 큰 편차를 보였다. 원림 대부분은 샘물과 우물을 수원(水源)으로 삼았으나 창랑정은 지표수를, 퇴사원은 계절수를 수원으로 하였다. 한편 원림의 수구는 정수구(正水口)와 가수구(假水口)로 구분되는바 가수구는 단지 의경(意景) 효과를 유도하기 위한 모방수구로, 수체계상의 의미를 중시하는 소주고전원림의 경향과 결착(結著)된 것으로 보임에 따라 궁극적으로 원림의 수구 배치는 전통 '감여이론(堪輿理論)ʼ이 작동되고 있음이 확인되었다. 그리고 소주고전원림의 인수(引水) 방식은 직인법(直引法), 명거법(明渠法), 침투법(滲透法), 관도법(管道法), 착정법(鑿井法) 등 5가지 유형이 적용되었다. 이중 직인법, 침투법, 관도법은 출수기법에서도 활용되었는 바 소주고전원림에서의 보편적인 물확보 수법인 침투법과 관도법은 국내 구분 방식으로는 집수법(集水法)과 인수법(引水法)에 비견(比肩)된다고 판단하였다. 그러나 한국 전통정원에서 보이는 현폭(懸瀑)과 비폭(飛瀑) 등의 입수기법은 발견되지 않으며 단지 자일(恣逸)과 잠류(潛流) 그리고 용출(湧出) 기법에 의존한 입수기법이 주로 적용되었고, 무너미를 통한 출수기법은 소주고전원림에서는 발견되지 않았다. 한편 소주고전원림의 입수구와 출수구에서 정태수체는 호수, 소(沼)와 담(潭)이 주류를 이루었으며. 동태 수체는 계류, 폭포와 샘으로 분류되는 가운데 3개 원림의 수공간은 원심적분산배치를, 6개소의 수공간은 구심적 집중배치에 따른 수경관 효과가 반영되었다. 그리고 수경관 연출기법으로 입수구에서는 '격(隔)ʼ과 '파(破)ʼ의 기법이, 출수구에서는 '엄(掩)ʼ과 '파(破)ʼ의 기법이 주로 적용되었다. 예컨대 입수구 주변에는 대부분 교량이 건립되고 사(榭), 헌(軒), 각(閣), 정(亭), 랑(廊) 등이 조성되었으며 첩석박안(疊石駁岸)으로 수구를 은폐한 경향이 감지됨에 따라 "비록 인간이 만들었지만 마치 하늘이 내린 것 같다(雖由人作, 宛自天開)"라는 소주원림의 이수사상(理水思想)을 구현한 것으로 이해된다. 마지막으로 입수구와 출수구의 시각구성상 은폐 및 노출 정도를 분석한 결과, 창랑정의 어비정과 환수산장 문천정 조망점에서만 수구가 노출될 뿐 다른 조망점에서는 수구가 가려져 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 볼 때 소주고전원림 수구에서는 한국 전통정원에서 적용되고 있는"물이 들어오는 것은 보이나, 나가는 것은 보이지 않게 한다"는 풍수좌향론 관점에서의 '향향팔미법(向向發微法)' 기법은 거의적 용되지 않은 것으로 판단된다.

  • In order to preserve the traditional garden landscape and maintain the harmony between traditional and modern gardens of Inner Mongolia, this study theoretically examined the creation and background elements of Inner Mongolia, and reviewed the nature of the people and the traditional design elements. The results of this study show that: 1) the background factor of traditional garden landscapes was nomadic life in plains, which was a lifestyle of adapting to Mother Nature and promoting mutual existence and survival; 2) Shamanism impacted the views of nature among the ancient Inner Mongolian people; 3) traditional garden landscapes could be categorized into landscapes centered around Mother Nature during the Huns era and those centered around the symbolic landscape during the Genghis Khan era; 4) aesthetic elements of traditional garden landscapes included traditional colors of red, yellow, sky-blue, milky-white, and traditional patterns of external knot, cloud, bull horn, and plain grass. These findings may provide basic data for the creation background and characteristics of traditional garden landscape of Inner Mongolia in the application of the green space design of Inner Mongolia.

  • Tall buildings are frequently decried as unsustainable due to their excessive energy usage. Early skyscrapers used natural light and ventilation to facilitate human comfort and applied organic materials such as stone, glass, wood, concrete, and terra cotta for cladding and finishes. With the advent of fluorescent lighting, modern heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, and thermally sealed curtain walls, tall office buildings no longer had to rely on natural light and ventilation to provide comfort. Energy efficiency was not a significant factor when the operational costs of buildings were relatively inexpensive. However, today's skyscrapers must become more energy-efficient and sustainable due to energy crises and climate change. This paper highlights vital energy-efficient design principles and demonstrates with illustrative case studies how they are applied to tall buildings in various parts of the world. It shows how sustainable environmental systems do not act alone but are integrated with advanced curtain wall systems, sky gardens, and atria, among others, to regulate and sustain thermal comfort and conserve energy.

  • Many tall buildings possess through-building gaps at middle levels of the building elevation. Some of these floors are used as sky gardens, or refuge floors, through which wind can flow with limited blockage. It has been reported in the literature that through-building gaps can be effective in reducing across-wind excitation of tall buildings. This paper systematically examines the effectiveness of two configurations of a through-building gap, at the mid-height of a tall building, in reducing the wind-induced dynamic responses of the building. The two configurations differ in the pattern of through-building opening on the gap floor, one with opening through the central portion of the floor and the other with opening on the perimeter of the floor around a central core. Wind forces and moments on the building models were measured with a high-frequency force balance from which dynamic building responses were computed. The results show that both configurations of a through-building gap are effective in reducing the across-wind excitation with the one with opening around the perimeter of the floor being significantly more effective. Wind pressures were measured on the building faces with electronic pressure scanners to help understand the generation of wind excitation loading. The data suggest that the through-building gap reduces the fluctuating across-wind forces through a disturbance of the coherence and phase-alignment of vortex excitation.

  • The landscape disign of Gamcheon wholesale fish Market was designed around a turnkey base to promote the economy of Busan Metropolitan City, to establish a fishery marketing center and to modernize existing facilities. The objectives of the project were to promote the mood of an old market, while preserving its functions and efficiency as a market, to design outdoor spaces with natural resources and amenities in balance, and to create attractive tourist spots in connection with the wide area development plan. The project was oriented, fast, to enhance the functions of the market. For this purpose, a multi-dimensional space layout was designed in consideration of functions as a wholesale market. The safety of pedestrians was secured by separating lathes for vehicles and for pedestrians. Tree planting with various functions such as sheltering, wind breaking and guiding was planned. Secondly, nature-friendly and human-friendly landscaping design was attempted. For this, the beautiful natural resources of Amnam Park were utilized, and green spaces such as green bridges linking buildings in the wholesale market, and rooftop gardens were to be arranged. In addition, environment-friendly facilities such as roads paved with natural materials(i.e. gravel, shells) and program parking lots were to be planned. Thirdly, landscape design was considered to create attractive tourist spots. For example, a fish farm was created as a theme street for pedestrians and various water-friendly spaces such as pedestrian ramps, observatories and seaside streets were to be secured. The main contents are as follows. First, a green bridge to Ahnnam Park was introduced for a tour source and flower garden, an event plan and viewing deck open to the sea were planned on the bridge's axis. Secondly, for the effective land use plan concerning open space and convenience to visitors, a promenade was planned, which is connected with the theme plaza and small plazas by environmental sculptures in front of the market hall and at the gate. As well, an observatory and a roof garden help create three dimensional multi leveled space, with a good view of the natural landscape of the sea, sky and park Thirdly, landscape materials, such as trees and those for facilities, strengthened for protection against the seawind and salt damage were selected. The commercial market area was intended to be transformed a traditional functional area of efficiency and economy into an attractive marine leisure area where both tourists and neighbors can make use of it.
