A NEW LEASE OF LIFE By Grace Koh Kah Shin & Ong Cheng Siang
Infrastructure and public facilities and services systems form the backbone of this studio’s design exploration. The former seeks to integrate power, waste and transport systems into one and transforming them into resources contributed by the neighbourhood itself, which will serve public facilities and services. As such, this system of public contribution and distribution creates an all-accessible pool of resources that is equitable and just. It transforms the way the city produces and consume public infrastructure by creating a sustainable loop, constantly renewing resources and according waste a new lease of life. Furthermore, the involvement of the everyday people in infrastructural production potentially educates the masses and inculcates the culture of sharing in the neighbourhood.
基础设施和公共设施与服务的系统 设计是这工作小组设计方案的核 心。前者将电力，废物和交通系统 整合为一体，将其转化为社区的公 共资源。同时，这新系统也为公共 设施和服务提供基本资源。这方案 注重于集体贡献和分配制度，以创 造一个公平和公正的资源分配。通 过可持续发展的环路，不断更新资 源，废物利用，改变了城市生产和 消费公共基础设施的模式。参与基 础设施的生产也有着教育群众，灌 输邻里 文 化 的 效 应 。
