This 3.2-million-square-foot mixed-use development is located on the western edge of Central Park, the main open space of Songdo City. It consists of six individual tower buildings that sit on two adjacent north-south running blocks separated by a 20-metre public road. One key to the design is creating an internal public space that all six buildings share, a sort of city within a city. The strategy is to integrate the 20-metre public road into the landscaped plaza like a stitch. Drop-off areas and parking will be positioned at a sunken sky-lit level so that pedestrians may cross at grade. As the road gently rises it crests two metres above the ground plane and the plaza dips gently underneath. The public

road becomes a significant element within the overall plaza design. The bringing together of these public and private urban activities will create a very dynamic and memorable place. Another key to the design is the degree to which the six buildings relate to each other and to the future context of Songdo City. A spiral progression sets the general massing of the composition with the shortest building on the southwest corner of the site and the tallest on the southeast corner, moving clockwise around the site. The buildings are conceptualised as a series of north/south plan layers much like the layers of mountains and valleys in the Korean landscape. The designers have kept an ideal planning dimension from the core to the perimeter glass wall and have allowed the ends of these layered slabs to curve and twist vertically. Adjacent buildings create a figural space between them and lock them together much like how dancers create space on a dance floor. At key moments within the design the massing of the individual buildings is broken down with reveals and interlocking edges conceptualised as ancient wood joinery. These joints and reveals offer connections to various urban scales that happen naturally throughout a city. The long faades of the buildings are alternating panels of clear low iron, high-performance glass and glass layered with copper mesh. The edges of the buildings consist of a high-performance reflective glass heightening the curvature of their forms. Water harvesting, planted roofs and walls, efficient planning and use of materials, and solar energy collection comprise some of the strategies that seek to make this a LEED-rated and sustainable design.

National Heart Centre Singapore

Outram Campus Singapore
Jason Pomeroy & Ian Simpson

Project description The National Heart Centre (NHC) is a competition-winning entry for the first sustainable heart centre in South East Asia. Recognising the correlation between the healing properties of natural light and planting, the concept draws inspiration from the medicinal courtyard gardens traditionally found in monasteries, from where the term hospital (from the Latin hospes) originates. A ground floor open plaza that permits social interaction and an ease of movement is supported by a further series of semi-public open sky gardens that create naturally lit and ventilated spaces where doctors, patients, workers and visitors alike can rest and recuperate. In their social context these sky gardens assist in healing society back to good health, while in their physical context they assist in healing the built environments carbon sores. Design philosophy Unlike the residential maxim that habitation is summarised by the three immortal words Location, Location, Location, the design for the NHC is summarised by three very different words that, when put together, highlight its importance as a health-caring facility: Placing People First. Yet individually, these words can also sum up the architects design ethos for the centre: The importance of environmentally responsive places that people can work, play, recuperate in; An understanding that people and the way they socially interact is what turns space into place; Supporting Singapores conviction of creating the first sustainable Heart Centre, not only in Singapore but in the region, that will be socially, economically, environmentally and technologically responsive to the point of global recognition. The designers recognise that the 21st century has brought about resurgence in the understanding that space is more important than the object as a means of reducing carbon footprints and creating more socially responsible environments. Open spaces, be they planted sky terraces, atria or open plazas, can sustain the health and (social) well-being for not only the patient, doctor and visitor, but also the health and (carbon) well-being of our built environment. A collection of different healthcare related and social functions are arranged, like a collegiate, around open spaces. These open spaces, be they internal or external, metaphorically act as the green lungs of the development, healing the sick back to good health through the provision of natural light, ventilation and view; and healing the built environment back to good health through the provision of planting that acts as a carbon sponge, noxious pollutant filter and heat island reducer. It is the openness, legibility, and character of these spaces in relation to the more functional collegiate blocks that allows for a greater sense of urban connectivity and relationship with the existing urban fabric, as opposed to object driven slab and block development that can often socially alienate and be physically detrimental to our environment. Extensive research has demonstrated that pedestrian flow is greatly influenced by the shape of open spacesa fact that the designers have capitalised on in order to encourage footfall through the public spaces to create heightened opportunities for social interaction and to capture footfall for retail opportunities. Such spaces also permit an ease of movement through the development, improving operational efficiency for staff, mitigating the anxiety of visitors and patients imbued in non-legible and tortuous routes and paths.

Phu Thuan Complex may be one of the most iconic projects of dwp Vietnam, coming in as a runner-up to architectural giants such as Norman Foster in the Cityscape Asia Awards 2008. At 630,000 square metres and floors reaching heights of 45 storeys, this building means business. There are 3,100 apartment units and two floors of mixed retail and public space on ground level, aiming to service this self-sustaining community in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. The developer, PD Group would like construction to start as early as September 2010.

Peter Bachtold

Peter Bachtold, the current Architectural Design Director of dwp joined the Phu Thuan project in its second phase of design. After the initial concepts had been approved by PD Group, it was time to make the building a reality, and this is where Peters practical expertise came into play. The original building form was inspired by a single continuous loop, which was to replace previous ideas of blocks upon blocks of buildings on a large plot of land. These rows of buildings would be substituted with a monstrous single block that was softened into the shape of an undulating loop, creating different views, sun angles and breeze flows throughout. The final shape took the form of a wave or a Mbius strip offering various styles of dwelling units and many opportunities for different kinds of glazing and natural landscaping. The apartments are designed for middle to upper-middle class individuals and families and range from 120 to 250 square metres each. The aim is to largely support these units with two floors of retail and recreation activities on ground level complete with shops, cinema, parking and several swimming pools throughout. Peters approach to undertaking this project with his team has been through space economy. By engineering standards, this project is a humongous undertaking and solving what are usually routine practices of distribution of mechanical and electrical services became like a giant, complicated puzzle. He has ensured that the architecture team continues to integrate natural light into the dwellings and public areas, and has dramatically improved the efficiency of skinning the building with simple masonry walls to counteract the ominous nature of the building. He is very proud of the achievements of his team considering the fact that something like the Phu Thuan complex has never been built in Vietnam before. Most interior functions have been approved by the client to this point, however, there are still negotiations about the faade. With the huge budget of the building being a concern during current economic times there has been a necessary reduction to the faade from over 75 kilometres to 45 kilometres. Whatever the final skin will be, this giant will not go unnoticed once its completed. Standing in an open, fairly uninhabited part of District 7, this building will truly be a test of living on a grand scale in Vietnam.
