The project site is in Jurong East:
Your task is to design a high-density mixed-use development. Currently, the plot ratio for the site is approximately 5. Our aim is to explore the possibility of a higher density environment. For your project, you will need to make a proposal with a plot ratio of 8. This will result in about one million square meters of floor space.
It will be up to you to decide the detailed program, but the mixed-use development should include commercial, residential, and retail.. The site includes both an MRT / LRT station and a Bus Interchange, and the movement of large flows of people will therefore be an important issue. Car parking will also need to be considered.
Here are some links for Jurong East:
An interesting comparison is the Elements Shopping centre in Hong Kong. Our site is about 12 Hectares, and the Hong Kong site is about 14 Hectares. The plot ratio for the Hong Kong site is also 8:
To start with, you will need to gather information about Jurong East, and create a digital site model that includes the existing and future proposed buildings around the site. This model should be created as a group exercise - please divide up the tasks to maximize efficiency.
You will then split into your groups and start developing proposals for the site. You will need to develop the proposals using some form of Iterative Virtual Prototyping, following on from the elective. As part of this process, you will need to define how you are going to evaluate the performance of your proposals.
