Abstract

This project aims to revitalize Singapore’s urban environment, tackling critical issues like food security and environmental sustainability, which are primary concerns in the country. By integrating education-focused communities with advanced technology, the pond-centric design, especially in housing placement, promotes sensory learning within the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) framework. The proposed design advocates for a self-sufficient strategy through both public and private housing, contributing significantly to Singapore’s 2030 goal of attaining 30% food self-sufficiency. This initiative marks a comprehensive shift towards sustainable living for future residents of Singapore.

Background

By 2030, Singapore aims to produce 30% of its own food, reducing its reliance on the current 90% imported.

In Singapore, using 151 liters of water per day compared to the United States’ 375 liters, there are plans to increase water recycling from 40% to 50% by 2030 for sustainability. By 2030, Singapore aims to produce 30% of its own food, reducing its reliance on the current 90% imported.

Issues & Strategies

NURTURE aims to create education-focused communities in new residential areas in Singapore. These communities will encourage a harmonious coexistence with nature. The concept includes Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) and educational technology to match the learning preferences and environmental appreciation of Singaporeans. NURTURE is a comprehensive approach that deals with both education and the environment, aiming to instill a sense of environmental independence. Starting at the Keppel Club site, this initiative aims to inspire nationwide change towards sustainable living.

Design Approach

To promote farming and assist people in becoming accustomed to it, the site incorporates specific areas that blend education and entertainment, referred to as ‘Eduagritainment.’ This term merges Education, Agriculture, and Entertainment, emphasizing the integration of these elements on the site.

Water Treatment Plan

Design Process

Context: Describing the surrounding environment and setting

River Path & Ponds: Examining the existing river and pond features

Radiation Analysis: Studying the impact of radiation in the area

Spherical View Analysis: Evaluating the panoramic view in a spherical pective

Housing Placement: Selecting locations for residential buildings

Features: Identifying distinctive attributes involves assessing roads, ponds,ers, vehicle, pedestrian paths, and green areas

Concept: Learning by Senses (LBS): Emphasizing an educational approach centeredund sensory learning experiences

Design Adjustment & TOD: Adjusting the design and reconsidering it with the Trt-Oriented Development (TOD) concept

Water Treatment: Implementing water purification methods for both public and privhousing units
