Singapore Green Plan 2030 ‘30 by 30’

Beatty Valley (Interim)

Year: 2022

Category: Community Centre

Over the past few years as the pandemic hit the country, some communities fall apart due to the lack of support within the community. For this site particularly, businesses have closed down, the once vibrant streetscape can no longer be seen.

How might we recover from the pandemic so that the community can be more resilient and vibrant?

The Urban Valley aims to push forward the “30 by 30” goal, to build up our agri-food industry’s capacity to produce 30% of our nutritional needs loccaly and sustainably by 2030. This sheme would also set up a support system, in terms of food secuirty and mental wellness.

As the site is surrounded by high-rise residential and office buildings, The Urban Valley beomes a meeting place that brings together food start-ups, researchers, chefs, and residents, enhancing the concept of “Farm-To-Table”.

The building uses natural material like cross- laminated timber, to enhance the sustainability of this project and allow maximum flexibllity. Public spaces such as plaza, farmer’s market, community kitchen and lounge can be rearranged for different purposes.
