URBAN ECOPUNCTURE

LIVING FILTER

By

2050

Kallang is predicted to be a key urban core in Singapore, coping with global issues such as climate change or exponential inmigration increase and local problems like the aging population.

The ‘hybrid city‘ theory as solution implies mixed-use sustainable living for every age range and in synergy with the habitat.

This project is focused on designing a ‘Live-Work-Play’environment to allow a viable and comfortable lifestyle for all, regardless of age, gender, income or race. These ideas are applied through a multilayered concept which varies interventions according to the site scale:

URBAN ECOPUNCTURE

What is Urban Ecopuncture?

They are the sustainable urban transformation strategies developed on particular nodes or ‘points’, in order to stimulate a larger network or ‘lines’causing the reactivation of a complete urban system or ‘surface’.

These small-scale urban interventions can transform the larger metropolitan context through ecological, social and economic strategies able to reactivate ecosystems.

CONCEPT PLAN Ecopuncture Point Neightbourhood Eco Network 500m

ECO NETWORK

The proposal aims to provide a feasible connection between the existing green spaces while introducing community functions and amenities to activate them. Treating the active green spaces as ‘nodes’ connected by a ‘linear network’ results in the creation of an ‘eco-network’ in place. The toolbox concept is proposed in order to integrate functions in said green spaces (nodes), such as: Community farming, Water Transit Oriented Development, SOHO, playground environments and art exhibit center.

This eco-network allows people to access public amenities in and around the existing green spaces, making them community cores.

urban ecopuncture// INTERVENTION AREA SCALE

It is a predominatly residential site lacking vitality. At this scale, the proposal focuses on redesigning the open spaces in the existing residential blocks and guidelines to add a varied program to the site.

In addition to the several land connections (road, bridges or pathways), this proposal also includes the water linkage possibility, resulting in a versatile key strategic point to send and receive passengers, food, energy, products or waste disposal. As a consequence the site is expected to thrive in economic, social and sustainable activity.

//conclusion

How is the proposal relevant today, and more importantly, for 2050?

Cities of the future, due to their size, are increasingly polycentric, and there is a need for self-sustenance within these centres. This includes the demand for an economically viable and comfortable lifestyle for all ages, especially the elderly. This proposal makes possible a symbiotic communal living, thus creating self-sustaining ‘urban villages’.

The holistic integration of an ecological network into the site generates a new ‘module’of neighbourhood that can be incorporated into urban waterfront environments in the future. With degrees of hybridity in the vertical programme,the use of open spaces and the types of green spaces, the site offers a conducive Live-Work-Play context for users of all ages.

LIVING FILTER Hybrid’carbon sink’urban model for the Barcelona Metropolitan Area in 2050.

Click to watch the video of the project

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is a multi-faceted problem, and requires a multi-faceted solution. This proposal aims to maximize biological CO2 absorption in Barcelona Metropolitan Area by 2050 through a network of microalgae production hubs, the pilot of which is the designed site (a nexus for production, jobs, research, education and living) thus, weaving together natural, productive and social ecosystems to create the perfect ‘climate era’ resilience model for Barcelona.

What is microalgae?

It is the “diverse group of microscopic organisms that inhabit in marine and freshwater habitats,able to perform photosynthesis”.

How can we use it?

Industrial-scale microalgae production in photobioreactors requires sunlight, CO2 and water to produce biomass.

The value-added products of biomass generation have several useful applications for the chemical industry. Additionally, this microalgae ecosystem can also be used to treat wastewater.

Water source (fresh or Mediterranean’s) ≥ 520 m3

Factors for selection Sites for economically viable microalgae production

47% of Spain’s chemical production comes from Catalonia, where the Barcelona Metropolitan Region hosts production,work,contextual knowledge and infrastructure.

This clustering creates an agglomeration economy, providing better access to goods and skilled workers which companies need. Within this established chemical production system, our proposal integrates a network of microalgae hubs-sites with production, education, research and development, and offices.

According to a study, the elements for site selection are: 1.Located close to stationary sources of CO2 emissions, for eg. thermoelectric power plants.

2.Daily solar radiation (annual average) greater than 4 kWh/m2 /day or 5200 MJ/m2 /year.

3.More than 6 h of daily sunshine, by annual average.

4.Approximate range of 10 km from the coast.

5.Outside reserves, protected areas and wetlands.

6.Close to ports or railways. 7.Accessible from roads.

8.Slope of less than 5%.

METROPOLITAN HUB “LIVE-WORK-INNOVATE”

Located in the municipalities of Sant Adria de Besos and Badalona, the site is a vision for the area where urban day-to-day functions, ecology and microalgae production co-exist in harmony. A large estuarine wetland with a soft shoreline shares the space with the Three Chimneys, a landmark readapted into the area’s cultural magnet.

Production functions are integrated across the site, with complementary programs; this increases efficiency and economic opportunities.

Being adjacent to Barcelona city, the study area is at the fringe of the various networksof transport. The means of transport include regional rail, metro transit, tram transit, bus transit, and cycling network. While a minority are in close proximity to the regional rail stations, the majority of the residents rely on proximity to bus stops. The proposal improves the mobility networks, mainly increasing the tram network and the bus system in the car-lite design site.

A way to earn these credits is to create or preserve on-site parks and green spaces (C40 Cities, 2016). The hierarchy of public green spaces in this proposal is thus developed according to the potential of atmospheric carbon dioxide sequestration. nvisions a metropolitan-scale “landmark” green urban space for the residents of Sant Adria de Besos, with a major green spine that connects the Badalona marina to eys. The proposal also improves the permeability of the site, with significant spaces like the wetland being 100% permeable, to decrease surface-water runoff.

ERPLAN

The proposal, as a hybrid car-lite production hub in Sant Adria de Besos acts as a regional ‘carbon sink’ and a metropolitan growth catalyst accommodating residences, offices and facilities in a high-density compact urban model.

The real innovation of the design is rooted in its attitude toward the site’s positives: the landmark Three Chimneys and the existing fabric, while integrating environmentally and economically sustainable production uses within a layer of vibrant public spaces and green.

To tackle the primary issue of the municipality of Sant Adria de Besos, an urban “listlessness” due to being adjacent to Barcelona city, one of the strategies, the development of a water canal - was for productive purposes as well as for public recreational canalfront spaces, thus serving as an urban magnet complimenting the landmark attention of the Three Chimneys.
