PROJECT 1

INTERPRETATION & RE-INTERPPRETATION OF “A TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS” TASK 1A

INTERPRETATION: FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH Students are to equip themselves with the fundamental theories and knowledge with regards to what aquaculture is and the various aquaculture methods that currently exists (preferably In South East Asia). The focus of this assignment is to understand the different kind of purpose, methods and systems used in the industry of aquaculture.

TASK 1B

RE-INTERPRETATION: BUILDING AS A MACHINE

Overfishing has become not only a nationwide, but a worldwide issue where common resource systems have been known to collapse due to overuse and capitalization of the resources. It has become one of the many ‘Tragedy of the commons’. There has been many initiatives by the governments worldwide to overcome this issue, including limitations, policies with regards to the industry and such. However, adding another layer of complexity are the illegal and unregulated practices that are difficult to track.

Aquaculture, an attempt to resolve numerous issues with regards to overfishing, is a method used to produce food and other commercial products, restore habitat and replenish wild stocks, and rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species.

There are numerous benefits of the aquaculture industry. However, irresponsible methods and applications may also impact the environment in a negative manner. With the issues of overfishing and the depletion of seawater fish stock making headlines every so often, it is crucial that architects, as agents and advocates of sustainable built environment design partake in the knowledge and theoretical applications of this industry.

Based on the findings in Task 1A, Students are to diagrammatize the understanding, which will then be converted into a conceptual + compact architectural system mimicking the understanding of the system. The focus of this project is to highlight on the objectivities of the design, and the functional inter-relationships between the different components that composes itself as part of the system mechanics

PROJECT 2

CONTEXTUAL STUDIES TASK 2A

CONTEXTUAL DISSECTION: URBAN MAPPING PART 1: MACRO & MICRO SITE ANALYSIS To understand the site and it‘s diverse composition of layers, students are to dissect and do a mapping of the assigned topic, in digital format. This map has to be drawn entirely new. Nevertheless, it has to be on a basis of digital site maps to get scale, forms and information, as accurate as possible.

Aquaculture is one of the methods that has been long practiced as an attempt to resolve the issue of overfishing. Unsurprisingly, it is quite a common industry worldwide, that has been focusing on productions, economics over environment. However, the various methods used in aquaculture ‘commonly’ poses its own set of threats to the environment.

The nature of this semesters project is about aqueous ecologies in conjunction with the local community. Its an attempt moving forward towards solving the bigger issue of the ‘tragedy of the commons’ that has been earlier discussed. The proposal involves the intention of: How local communities can be exposed and educated about the various systems.

How existing threats / problems that the current applications of aquaculture can be examined and further developed into a workable system.

How the community are able to become stakeholders in the production and development of aquaculture How the community can be dependable on locally cultured food source for economic and sustenance purposes How this facility can become an avenue for aquaculture research and development

PART 2: SITE’S SYNERGY Site recollection/catalog is essential to explore the soul and the in-tangibility aspects of the site. Apart from the urban layer mapping that has been done in groups, students are to individually sketch, photograph or collect items from site that could inspire you in any way with regards to the subject of contextuality.

TASK 2B

CONCEPTUAL SITE PLANNING Upon completion of the site analysis, students are to do a conceptual design masterplan expression/idea/response based on the understanding of the selected aquaculture system in Project 1 and the analysis done in Project 2A. In this stage students will use the briefing information to analyze the project scope.

PROJECT 3

ACADEMY OF AQUEOUS ECOLOGIES: AQUACULTURE

The Connected communities – With consideration of the current context and future developments of Pulau Indah, communication and social involvement in the community is crucial. The facility should be critically planned to promote social interactions via any means possible. This connectivity reduces the need for private vehicles, thus increasing the viability of walking and cycling. Also, creating community related programs, open spaces and sidewalks fosters interaction among community members and participants Sustainability and livelihoods - The availability of improvements to the energy efficiency and designed for sustainable usage, including waste management, minimization of resources for maximum impact are the main criteria of Sustainable and lively development.

Site Dynamics – The selected site for this semesters project involves tidal dynamics, and difference in physical condition (land and sea). Students are to explore materiality, construction methods and programmatic relations with regards to this condition.

Extended Programs - Students may explore the possibilities of extending the aquaculture production activities on open water beyond the site boundary, however this excludes permanent building structures, and will be excluded from the total BUA calculation.

Upon completion of task 2, students are to the focus on the design and development of an aquaculture academy at the selected site. This will be based on the intent developed in task 2B (Urban Strategies – Site Planning, with the integration of task 1B (conceptualized aquaculture system) .This stage takes the theoretical design and intent from project 1+2 to the idea development and technical level, where the notions put forward during the initial design stages are further developed and realized into a workable architectural proposal.

The proposal should elucidate current and future issues whilst being mindful of ethics of sustainability contributing to the sea and space in our societies : innovating materials, advanced techniques, protection of natural resources etc.
