QUAYSide Residence Urban Dwelling and Commercial District

The density of buildings in the city has produced more than difficulties for city planning in the prior decades of urbanization. Many skyscrapers emerged from the ground, posing environmental and planning concerns. This resulted in overcrowding of automobiles, a polluted environment, and an inadequate amount of vegetation exposed to the urban environment.

However, this initiative proposes to resolve the urban issue and respond to future urbanization by minimizing the environmental impact and reimbursing the urban immune system.

We should attempt to bring nature, houses, and human beings together in a higher unity -Ludwig Mies van der RohePage 1

The project strives to envision the future of urban growth while also fostering a new way of life and embracing the biological system.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Along this waterfront, four significant buildings were added to the urban fabric.

The adaptation of the geometric design to the remaining area along the river resulted in these four building forms, which showcased appealing building shapes to the sailors on the river. The sense of engagement between these low-rise buildings and medium-rise buildings governs a reduction in tension and brutality in the city, leaving behind a new sense of space balancing and the formation of charming living scale with the landscape.

Phase 4

Final Phase

The continuation of the ground surface movements, along with the waterfront garden and community plaza, to the economic functions ranging from retails to malls and office buildings, produce a vibration of innovative approaches to the quality of living as living peacefully with economics and nature. Despite this constraint, the welcome staircases between two buildings guide both users and biological planting to easily journey from the ground to the lower level of a building roof.

The Aspire Arthouse is positioned within the municipal park of a governmental district in the core area of Phnom Penh. Originally a concrete ground surface, the location of this end of the municipality park was ideally limited in its ability to serve as a park and an adventurous experience for visitors. Aspire, while preserving the potential value of the site as it is situated, redefined and revitalized the space, endowing the space with a completely new experience to soften the hardness and rigidity of this classical park.

The integration of straight and curved lines that formed the structure produced a transcendence beyond architectural aesthetics, attributed to the ‘‘Evident’ experience of ‘‘History’’ of this city and healing itself to be peacefully resided with regard to the mentality of its citizens.

The scale of the structure accommodated the stability of the structure itself and the integration of urban park landscaping. The exhibition was never meant to showcase massive sculptures, but rather to provide a scenic complement between human perspective, art, and landscape.

The sunlight and shadows play with the geometrical form and shape of the item. Throughout daytime, sunlight can enter the interior, lowering energy consumption , meanwhile at night, the courtyard serves its public purpose by exhibiting the natural splendor of the sky.

Le Prestige Village is a neighborhood residential project located in a Battambang subtown, 300 kilometers from the capital city. The multiple options for housing typology alternatives a significant part in promoting the value of local livability and space, which this region had previously left behind.

The buildings integrate to form a block, with the objective of underlying diversity both economically and socially in the neighborhood being to increase the quality of urbanism. This ‘Enclosure’ neighborhood project was designed specially for balancing the footprint of buildings and human scale, making for an environment that is both efficient and attractive. The front part of the enclosure, which is exposed to the public roads, offers a potential diversity of economic functions for residents both living and working within their neighborhood. The back side, or community courtyard, of this block proved its controllable accessibility. There is nowhere but just behind their homes for the neighbors to get close and spend time playing and relaxing in this common garden courtyard.

The center area of this site was originally biologically varied. There are different kinds of trees, plants, and absorbing areas, or wet land areas, derived from the leftovers of what existed before urbanization. The strategy was developed to maintain this system while strengthening it at the same time. Therefore, this closure includes the addition of new structures such as a green house, a walking walkway, and a botanic plant. This courtyard garden is adding more benefit to the residents, for it is a product of existing nature beyond the new landscape design.

The ‘’Enclosure’’ being divided into smaller bu ponents allows for a wider range of options a Each component serves as a typology capable ing a distinct experience of commercial ideas activities.

Green building is not about buildings - it is about people.

Section B

The diversity of the offered typologies creates aesthetic appeal as promoting public and local life. They render several interpretations of ground-floor activity. The opening doors to the street were meant for advertising stores of various types of businesses. Front gardens of trees and shading are for visitors to buy, eat, and socialize in the local climate. The clearly defined pedestrian, parking, and bicycle lanes are meant for facilitation, and serve to define the motion of neighborhood. These inspire a sense of community and the coexistence of businesses.

The project is intended to create a potential contribution to the Cambodian way of life as well as the cultural norm.

The ground floor of Khmer vernacular housing has the intent to be raised as a living space and kitchen during the day time, while the upper story splits the space into rooms where the opening of the internal space to the outside environment is crucial. Each home typology in this project contributes these ideas as a user culturally as a model of an innovative way for Khmer people to live in such an urban environment .

Throughout the year, Battambang is hot and humid. This means that sustaining interior temperature relief without air conditioning is problematic. Various passive design solutions are implemented to reduce consumption of energy and maintain an attachment to the surrounding environment to each housing typology. Horizontal and vertical shade devices are used to protect spaces. The inner courtyard functions as a tiny garden and a means for a deep flat typology to evolve into more self-sustaining by means of internal cooling and lighting.

Landscape Urbanism, Adaptive Architecture as a Response to Global Warming Location: Bac Lieu, Vietnam 9.2699945,105.732231 Type: Master’s Thesis, KU Leuven Year: 2023 Course: H0H40A _ Group Project Studio Landscape Urbanism Bac Lieu is a Mekong Delta coastline settlement. Formerly a quagmire, transformations led to rice farming dominance, which has since been followed by aquaculture and fisheries. Bac Lieu is home to a diverse range of resources and cultural practices, urban tissues, and housing typologies. The implications of global warming pose considerable challenges: sea level rise, saltwater intrusion, rising heat island effect, more frequent and severe flooding, and higher temperatures. The City Balcony project requalifies the existing southern periphery of Bac Lieu and develops a thickened biodiveristy and urban edge along the east side of the 30 April Canal.

It celebrates the salt water quality of the area with a public wetland and long linear park connecting the freshwater Strategic new urban tissues are developed to ‘finish’ fragmented recent allotment developments, provide vibrant public spaces and amentities. A transitional urban nature is developed between ‘wild’ nature and ‘tamed’ urbanism. A soft scape alternates with hard scapes. A rich biodiversity habitat is reestablished by instigating a shift from intensive shrimp farming to wetlands with salt-adapted plants such as mangroves, water coconut, or ginkgo. The ‘salt city’ is reimagined as an ecologically thriving estuary in brackish water through a defined urban edge and linear Ginko tree park that doubles as a dike combating the consequences of global warming.

Two new housing tissues intitate the requlified edge and park structure. First, the fragmented resettlement allotment system is ‘finished’. Two parallel rows of housing affront the wetland, creating both a new streetscape and city balcony edge. Deadend streets are reanimated with other new housing types.

A new streetscape and city balcony edge are created by two rows of houses running parallel to the wetlands. Deadend streets are revitalized with new housing kinds. The most typical type of housing in urban areas as well as the edges of cities is the tube house. Due of their close proximity to one another in a continuous block of homes, tube houses rarely feature semi-open areas like verandas, balconies, or loggias.

The rewards of rural tourism for both rural residents and visitors are frequently emphasized. To begin, rural tourism can help rural residents diversify their local economies, create new markets for local products and services, provide new sources of income for farmers and others whose livelihoods are threatened by agricultural changes, and create opportunities for new businesses.

In Cambodia, the notion of Rural Tousim has been around for an extended period of time, but associations as a community with appropriate planning where locals, developers, local officials, and tourists are integrated is still relatively new. Thus, the plan will be to develop this sustainable rural community using techniques from architecture views by looking at people’s conditions and demographic data, sustainability theory, customer experience, and combining those with the vision of the authorities. It is true that European local governments and other organizations view rural tourism as a crucial component of their local development initiatives.

Rural tourism is viewed as a main driver of regeneration in many distant places, according to both local communities and policymakers.

Tourism provides social and cultural benefits to rural communities. They include increased social and cultural contact between locals and visitors; increased awareness among both visitors and locals of the value of the heritage and the need for its protection; a strengthening of the local community’s identity and cohesion; and increased use and viability of local transportation and other services. As a result, tourism may assist rural communities in reviving their local economies while also protecting their quality of life, heritage, and social values.

The outcomes to rural visitors include better mental and physical well-being as a result of harmony with environment.

Tourism growth in rural areas is extremely promising since an increasing number of people seek out natural scenery and authentic folk customs in the quiet and serene countryside to escape the hectic pace of industrialization and urbanization.

Prior to the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic, rural tourism played an important role in relieving stress experienced by urban people. Anti-pandemic efforts made it even more crucial because living in the country was perceived as more valuable than living in a relatively tiny flat in a huge metropolis where you couldn’t go for a stroll.

The site has a very strong image driven by modern buildings and its vibrant business sector, which may serve as the neighborhood’s heart in addition to being a place for reading and learning. By becoming a site of recognizable cultural creation, the project hopes to transform the neighborhood’s urban landscape and serve as an urban catalyst. The location of the construction enables the creation of an entrance plaza that connects to the interior hall of the building, transforming it into a covered plaza and ensuring its importance as an avenue for urban ties.

Its form and appearance stood out as what made it a neighborhood landmark. The emblematic objects that symbolized knowledge were the volumes of information. A further way that the architectural design adapts to the local climate is through the self-shading properties of the building’s protruding shape, which shields the lower floors from direct solar radiation, and the facade’s horizontal long windows with vertical claddings, which decrease the windowto-wall ratio and enhance insulation.

Throughout the possible skyscraper district, a couple of towers have been proposed: “The exclusive mix-used twin Urban Skyscrapers and their aethestics provide a retreat for the Phnom Penh business center district.” The tallest tower is almost 100 meters tall, while the lower tower is about 77 meters tall.

The buildings themselves experiment with interconnected and shifting features, highlighting urban dynamics.The façade are grids of open, semi-transparent-glass, and closed rectangles designed in a contemporary minimalist style.

The orientation of towers and material texture saturations provided the aethestic: ‘‘Depending on the time of day, the sun casts different reflections on the building envelopes, with a stimulating effect.” Seen from afar, the complex design broadcasts worthy uniqueness. The foliage was introduced at various stages of the transition to function as a link between nature and users. Its central placement contributes to better inner-city planning by providing a vivid sense of the economic activities.

After gaining independence from France in 1953, the city of Phnom Penh remained most of its colonial architecture. Despite the hardships and struggles it has had over the years, this city’s colonial architecture, Lux Cinema, which first opened in 1932, is still standing, despite the fact that most of its structure-interior has been demolished by subsequent owners. Likewise, in its final phase, the functions were converted into a company office.

The architecture team worked challenging to restore its facade, which was closer to a century old with comprised art-deco architecture.

Starting off with a non-original plan and extensive surveying and discussion, the architecture team was able to come up with its design solution, featuring a quarter of oval-shaped facades and its side facade louvered. The majority of the original facade were restored, while certain part that remained after collapsing due to its old age had to be adapted to accommodate engineering solutions. However, the interior was completely transformed from a theater hall to office space.

The facility comprises 40 studios of small and medium-sized design firms, a library, a material lab, and work spaces for 60 students and 30 freelance architects. It mainly houses an exhibition hall, two seminar rooms that can hold up to 150 people each. Student and professional architects will be the sole occupiers of the space. With the intention of developing a distinctive architectural design community, the task is to build areas that foster interaction between students and professionals.

Page 27

There are two core multi-functional working areas, medium and large, each placed between two main cluster buildings that serve as medium and large private studios. The two primary spaces are constructed by combining raw concrete slabs and staircases. The core areas include public space, a library, cafeterias, a canteen, and a relaxation area. These areas are enclosed partially by containers, which provides a practical method for future development. The cores are intended to be opened so that the areas can effectively generate an environment conducive to living in the context of the local climate, hence promoting energy conservation.

A 20 minutes by bus from the city centre, this new purpose-built 22.970 sqm facilities is designed to accommodate 1,200 students, grades Pre-K through 12, in a boarding school environment that supports the philosophy, “If the environment promotes learning, learning is bound to happen.” It is a multi-use and adaptable structure that solves the old accesibility while adhering to the urban scale and modelling in with the surrounding landscape and development.

The location was previously abandoned in Phnom Penh’s suburbs as an empty space with limited accessibility. Following the construction of new city roadways, the space grew increasingly valuable while missing a sense of vegetation and community. To mend these wounds, the design team sought a harmonic and seamless relationship between landscape and the new proposed school facilities. The approach was to boost the integration of all functional buildings in relation with vegetation as a community space for all levels of students on the school campus.

The campus consisted of courtyard-style academic buildings, a sports complex, and a common performing center. It offers high-performance, flexible learning environments that complement its core academic curriculum and allow for interdisciplinary, problem-based project work, bi-lingual, and experiential learning programs. The botanic garden is positioned in the center of the form intersection. This will increase the social diversity on campus, motivating students to develop their social interactions with others and to enjoy the vast and stunning scenery of the lovely botanic garden.

This refined tiny café pays homage to the past while deriving inspiration from industrial design elements with a cozy touch. A small-space solution with budget-friendly construction where you can obtain a cup of aromatic espresso or an eatery with a grin was the idea that the focus was on.

Natural materials and gentle, nature-inspired hues, as well as affordable materials, are used in this interior design. This coffee shop has two floors with outside seating and a sense of neighborhood lifestyle. The original walls were rennovated with a clean concrete polishing wall in an industrial style, while some pallet wood, paintings, and interior lighting with their system promoted the aesthetics of these walls.

The simple black and white floor tiles created a sense decades ago that created a good mentality beside living in an aweful city with traffic. The furniture is made from durable materials that are easy to construct, such as pallet wood and steel tubes. Playing around with this affordable furniture, local indoor and outdoor plants are also utilized.

After several months of work by a group of young researchers and learners, these models were displayed at the Hong Kong exhibition in 2021. These models were produced to preserve the heritage of the known New Khmer Architecture movement, which emerged between 1960 and 1975. It was overseen by a well-known Khmer architects especially Mr.Vann Molyvann who graduated as an Architect in France (post-colonial period) and drew inspiration from the global Modern Architecture Movement.

With a capacity of 50,000–70,000, the complex of national stadium of Cambodia was designed and constructed in 1963. To make it possible to produce the model, this enormous size was compressed by 1: 150 000. The basswood are polishing to only half thickness of half milimeter basswood in order to adapt to this small scale and provide as much details as it is necessary to convey the ideas, designing, and storytelling that are embedded in this architecture. The difficulty of bending wood from straight to curved and a level of patience had to be achieved to produce this excellent model.
