New Master Plan

After the final presentation and getting the feedback, there are few things that I have to edit.
1. edit the surrounding building
2. by using the market tent or trees to soften the hard edges for the design.
3. have more interior perspective in order to understand the design as well as the space.
4. The market does not have to open only on Sunday but everyday.
5. The section has to be edit in order to show my central area of my design.

Distant Street view

People are getting everything from the virtual world and spending a lot more time in that society. However, in order to have a more balance life, physical interaction between people still require and this is the vital activities that will be still needed in year 3000 and in the future. People still crave real

encounters with other real people in real environments. The company of others seems to be fundamental to our sense of existence and belonging. The site locates not only at the centre of Padding, but also is a place that is easily accessible and it is the route to the transit centre. The site also surrounds by offices, dwellings and shops, which means it is not monocultures but mixed uses by different occupants. It is the best location for social contact with others and access to greenery in order to maintain psychological balance. The Paddington central provides social learning opportunities, which offer people with different norms, behaviours and cultures. It is a place to learn

about other people's attitudes, background values which cannot be learned in the virtual world. We promote the existing Paddington culture, which is the relaxed, round-the clock culture. We encourages a variety of people to be using the space at all times. Paddington Central is a human scale, 7metres tall design. It consists of a cafe, restaurant, fish farm, plaza and a greenery space. The design concept comes from the water drop and water bubble. It attempts to learn from the nature about how plants & natural environments grow evolve & adapt to local circumstances . The unique form of the design aims to provide distinctive character and identity  become positively memorable and attracts repeat visits of local as well as the people from other suburbs.

The design also provide a variety of sitting opportunities. The plaza provide a place for Sunday market to attract more visitors. For maintenance of the design, we encourage local residents to volunteer, while they get involved in the area, it will provide the sense of belongings for them.

Week 13 Exemplar - structure

The Hemispheric Planetarium & Cinema in Valencia was designed by world recognized architect Santiago Calatrava. From a distance, the domed structure looks like a massive concrete eye. The "eyelid" of the structure, which houses a planetarium and an IMAX theater, opens and closes.

Week 13 Exemplar - Community Area

Adelaide, South Australia, Burnside Village’s recent development was architecturally designed to feature a curved glazed glass roof overhead a significant 100 year old River Red Gum Tree. The new Tree Mall features a range of high profile retail stores in a beautiful relaxed setting.

The River Red Gum tree represents the growth of the centre over the past 40 years. When the decision was made to build Stage 3, the Cohen family wanted to keep the 18 metre tree that they considered significant to their past.

The Main infrastructure for the River Red Gum was established during the development phase of Burnside Village. It was fitted with a irrigation system, a water meter, a catenary wire arrest system and a 22 metre diameter root ball system (larger than ever before). The controlled irrigation system waters the tree at regular intervals. All watering is monitored and recorded to ensure the correct amount of water is released.

Burnside Village Management has a long-standing relationship with Marcus Lodge (Arborist), and further engaged the services of Dr Martin Bader (Tree physiologist) and Professor Giles Hardy (Forest pathologist) on 1 June 2012 to further inspect the River Red Gum, and collaboratively provide a professional and accurate assessment on the state of the tree.

Week 13 Exemplar

Work is about to start on a high-density, car-free “satellite city” for 80,000 people that will be built from scratch in a rural location close to Chengdu and later replicated in other parts of China. Designed by Chicago firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture for private developer Beijing Vantone Real Estate Co., Ltd, the 1.3 square kilometre Great City will feature a high-rise core surrounded by a “buffer landscape” of open space comprising 60% of the total area. Residents will be able to walk from the city centre to its edge in just 10 minutes.

“The design is attempting to address some of the most pressing urban issues of our time,” said architect Gordon Gill. “We’ve designed this project as a dense vertical city that acknowledges and in fact embraces the surrounding landscape.”

The architects claims the city will use 48% less energy and 58% less water than conventional developments of this size, producing 89% less landfill waste and generating 60% less carbon dioxide. The city, which will be connected to Chengu and other population centres by a mass-transit system, is intended as a prototype for other parts of China.

Week 13 Design logs

From week 12 Design logs, I think I have overlook one of my design principle.
Response to the topography and dynamics of the surrounding area. The design
in week 12 does not cope with this issues and I decided to edit existing design.
