sustainable urban scheme

Bakema believes that an individual’s living environment must be shaped as part of the community. He emphasised the significance of the transition and interweaving of the building’s structure with the structure of the city. [3] However, the growing awareness of sustainability highlights the significance of subsurface consideration in design. Subsurface served as the city’s engine room,[4] and it wasn’t just about putting greens everywhere. In this scheme, I investigate how buildings and landscapes can collaborate to create a more sustainable ecosystem. Water plays an important role in the scheme, from stormwater to greywater, which is reused for plants and recharged underground. Solar photovoltaic energy helps achieve less energy for powering (at least) the Lijnbaan park area. Greeneries were planted on soil with less infrastructure beneath it.
