PUBLICATIONS and MEDIA

The project locates in district 4,Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. The site is a 2.4 ha island at the tip of district 4, surrounded by canals and highways.

The project addresses the dislocation and negative effects on the informal economic sector in Sai Gons slums, due to demolition of inner urban slum residential zones, and their replacement with mono-program commercial or residential developments .

Sai Gon Informal investigates an urban planning strategy that supports and allows for the existing working and living lifestyle of the slum residents to be retained on site, while providing for signi cantly increased densities responding to the economic realities of these inner-urban sites. The project introduces a mixed-use commercial and residential slum re-housing onto the site, establishing a symbiotic relationship between the formal commercial programs and the retained informal economic activities currently thriving within the existing condition.The proposed urban design facilitates the types of informal micro-economic activities

observed in the existing site condition, to occur across an integrated network of three main activity zones: formal street commercial, informal laneway vending and recreational zones, along ood mediation canals. At the architectural scale, the housing typology allows for expandability and exibility in internal planning due to the high population density and their limited economic capacity. The massing proposal of the housing units is derived from the mass-void spatial sequence of the traditional Sai Gon tube house; which incorporates spatial tolerance for residents future self-expansion when the users needs and economic capacity allow. Internally, the neutral spaces are adaptive to the changing functions during the day ie: retail and living during the day and sleeping at night.

The project as a whole aims to preserve the fragile yet essential culture and economy of the lower income group that takes up to 80% of the citys economy.

The project investigates the dilemma between the limited resources and the ever increasing population and demand for space. The selected location is Copenhagen Central train station where urban space availability and issues present the opportunities for interventions. The proposal tests the feasibility of solving the public transportation and congestion issues at the front entrance of the station and introducing 24/7 programs (public transportation hub, retail, recreation, leisure, cultural, and sports) to maximise the new building spatial capacity.

The project aims to meet the needs of the Kianh Foundation in their work of caring for disabled children in DIen Ban and the surrounding districts, where there are currently over 800 children with disabilities in the area without acess to education or therapy services.

The centre is to be designed with a number of physiotherapy areas and clessrooms to accommodate ap-proximately 70 children during the day, in addition to areas for adminisration. It is teh clients preference that the construction of the Centre has minimal impact on the surrounding environment and population.

1.Physical recommendations include, improving ventilation, reducing dust and rain intrusion and adjusting physi-cal proportions of the building.2.Economic recommendations include ensuring all aspects of the architecture can be built by local labour, look at long-term cost saving measures such as solar power and water heating, which have recently dropped on pirce and are locally available.

3.Social recommendations include consideration of the local religion and its reflection in the architectural features, and better consideration of the entrance design.4.Well-being recommendations include designing internal fixtures, improving adjacency in some aspects of the program, improvements to bathing facilities and anticipation of how the interior spaces will be decorated.
