High Density Housing

<p>The Aotearoa (New Zealand) housing crisis and environmental shifts have inspired this thesis, which will address contemporary issues regarding Landscape Architecture, housing and urban design in Maungawhau (Mount Eden), Tāmaki-Makaurau (Auckland). Certain design decisions and some areas of local and national policy have restricted property development (or allowed poor development to occur). These developments have also limited infrastructural progress particularly in regard to sustainable urban planning strategies throughout Tāmaki-Makaurau in the past two decades in particular. The population of Tāmaki-Makaurau is rapidly growing, the 2018 census revealed a population increase of 11% in the past five years. Tāmaki-Makaurau is home to roughly 1.6million people, which is 1/3rd of Aotearoa‘s population. House prices reached an all-time high in 2016, causing major concern at a national level.  To tackle these issues of improving sustainable infrastructure and high-density housing this thesis will create a design strategy which will form a new urban fabric for Eden Park. The Master Planning strategy will take a cross-disciplinary approach. Involving Landscape Architecture, elements or urbanism, architecture and hydrology. The landscape, and water sensitive design will be the key drivers in how the housing mosaic is formed. Eden Park will be used as a blank canvas site of 105,300m2. The applied design will evolve as the site challenges the aims of the thesis, methods will be tested and the project will adapt as the site develops, the implementation of precedent and methods will be displayed in the design development and final design. This will result in a robust Master Planning strategy. A detailed urban design strategy will be a solution to the challenges set out in the thesis statement. The design development for Eden Park will intertwine with the wider Maungawhau network, this will be displayed in the final design drawings. The wetland will aim to treat a larger catchment of the area of 1,026,130.33m2, this means that the wetland will need to be roughly 20,000m2 so that the total catchment can be treated by this artificial wetland at 2%. The design goal is to create a multi-layered high-density housing assemblage and mixed use space that will stand as an example of a contemporary water sensitive and high-density design in action. The final design will be strong, versatile, and have the potential to be developed and expanded into wider networks over time in regard to using similar design strategy. I envisage a successful landscape design framework as a tool that aims to design more cohesive, innovative, adaptive and local high-density urban plans, which will respond to the demands of a growing population, ever-changing environmental conditions, and overall enhance a better quality of life.</p>

This paper presents the advancements of an applied methodology developed by the authors, namely an architect and two environmental psychologists, based on Virtual Reality coupled with psychological surveys − developed ad hoc by the authors − for urban design; in particular, the paper discusses its application in the field of architectural higher education. The proposed method is based on the pre-evaluation of people’s urban experience for testing the effectiveness of design solutions, discovering the unforeseen, and reducing the risk of failure. The method connects architectural to psychological approaches and investigations. The procedure can be schematized as follows: (1) final users navigate the simulation of the design scheme and feedback is collected; (2) the analysis of these collected data is run by professionals and discussed with the designers that then develop the final design solution. In this contribution, we illustrate the application to the urban design development carried out by 100 students of the last year of the Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Planning working in groups. The paper will firstly synthetically present the overall research; secondly, it will argue about its application for higher education; finally, it will conclude by describing the pros and cons of the experimentation, especially in relation to the whole learning and maieutic process and its impact on the design solutions adopted by students, with a focus on the experiential multisensory design.

<p>Urban Ensembles explores the way in which landscape and architecture can be employed together within the design of a steep, urban site. Lyttelton is a small port town on the border of Christchurch, settled in the foothills of a harbour formed by a major volcanic eruption. This rugged setting, with steeply sloping urban terrain, presents an interesting challenge when designing an urban development. The site was badly damaged in a series of earthquakes in 2010-2011, and many of the town’s oldest buildings, heritage structures dating back to the colonial settlement era, were destroyed. This has left a void in the heart of Lyttelton, and caused the loss of much of the tourism business that the town relies upon for its income. This thesis takes a methodological approach to the design of landscape architecture on such a challenging site. A range of techniques are explored, drawing from both landscape and architecture to explore the roles that each discipline plays in the design of urban spaces. The frequent imbalance between disciplines is addressed both through the literature review and design method, as this landscape architecture thesis draws on architectural design as a tool for generating spaces which fall somewhere in between the two ideals of interior and exterior. The final design proposal is an alternative rebuild plan for the central business area to the south of London St, and also addresses the relationships between that site and the surrounding context, both urban and environmental. The aim of this design is to create a series of interconnected spaces which have a strong relationship to the surrounding harbour setting, and also to facilitate development of the pedestrian spaces throughout the block and encouraging the development of activity at the street level, through the interface between buildings and landscape.</p>

ABSTRAK  Perkembangan desain dan produk membuat terbentuknya berbagai variasi produk. Semakin banyak pula kebutuhan orang-orang akan produk yang sesuai dengan keinginannya. Produk yang diinginkan pastinya produk yang inovatif, sesuai kebutuhan, dan tidak lupa desain yang menarik. Fungsi dan desain produk selalu berdasarkan konsumen atau pengguna produk. Begitu pula meja tamu yang memiliki berbagai macam jenis. Meja tamu merupakan salah satu produk yang selalu ada diberbagai macam tempat. Baik di rumah, kantor, maupun sekolah. Dalam laporan tugas akhir yang berjudul “Desain Meja Tamu PT Buran Nusa Respati” ini di desain khusus untuk PT Buran Nusa Respati yang didesain khusus dengan kebutuhan penggunanya. Nantinya diharapkan produk ini dapat menjadi inspirasi sekaligus alternatif baru dalam pengembangan desain mebel khususnya bagian meja tamu dalam dunia industri mebel. Dengan metode perancangan yang sudah dilakukan diantaranya yaitu pengumpulan data, analisis, alternatif desain, pengembangan desain dari alternatif terpilih, serta desain akhir. Sehingga dihasilkanlah desain meja tamu untuk PT Buran Nusa Respati. Kata Kunci: Meja Tamu, Desain Mebel, Kantor   ABSTRACT  Development of design and product make form of various products. More needs of people for products that based on what they need. They absolutely need innovative product, based on needs, and not to mention an interesting design. Function and design of a product always based on consumer and user of product. Similarly, the coffee table has a variety of types. Coffee table is one of a product that always at any places. Such as house, office, even school. In this final project report that titled as “Design of Coffee Table for PT Buran Nusa Respati” is design specially for needs of the user. Later writer hoped this product can be an inspiration as well be a new alternative for development wood design especially for coffee table in wood industrial. With this design method that already done which are gathers data, analysis, alternatives design, design development from chosen alternative design, and final design. With that result is a coffee table for PT Buran Nusa Respati. Keywords: Coffee Table, Wood Design, Office
