1. Introduction

This is the final project for our Element in Natural and Build Environment. I’m Chong Zhao Lun as the mayor of the World Z Town. The people in the town require a new town because the town is being destroyed by natural disaster. So the people need a safe town, we need to move them to the new town. The new town is in the air.

Before we build our future town, we need to do research about the past town and present town for our study case. We also need to investigate and collect data to fulfilling the requirements for the town. For example, the town should focus on the zoning of the town, transportations, populations, facilities, infrastructure and more.

Through this project, we can understand more about the town and how it related to the nature. Last but not least, we can understand more on the key elements of a town and what makes it a better town that is sustainable and livable.

1. Investigation & Data Collection:Ancient Town The Sassi of Matera

The Sassi of Matera is the meaning of stones in Matera. The religion of Matera had been inhabited by people since the Palaeolithic period. Deforestation of the area causes a serious erosion of the land and effect the water management. They change the system from agriculture to pastoral transhumance. They started to using tool with Metal Ages that made it easier to dig into the soft calcareous tufo rocks to create underground cisterns and tombs. The excavated tufo rocks were going be used for the construction of the wall and tower.

Page 7: Enbe final project

The earliest house was formed in a simple cave with excavated tufo block. They build the room into an open space, and also were available for considering extending it if wanted. The residences will common connecting to each other in the courtyard with shared facilities such as a cistern. The fortified center of the town will be established in between the two sassi. Workshops and the granaries were set up outside the center, which will also connect with the sassi by narrow lanes and steps. The water supply was being collected above the plateau and brought down to the community by gravity. As the town keep on grew, houses were being excavated and built. People started to climb the hillside and also some of the roof acted as a street ways on between some houses. The house become more magnificent, the terrace was built on the rooftop for garden in Renaissance period.

In 1950s, Matera was a shame for Italy because it had become a place of poverty, malaria and high rate of mortality, where people live in the place with no electricity, running water or sewage. Many people were moved to a new place in 1953 to 1968. Since UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 visitor was slowly growing and many of caves have been transformed into stylish hotels and restaurants.

Page 8: Enbe final project

Conclusion:

This town showed me that the way they build the town by using the tufo rock on the whole building. I had learn from this town is the people physically and moral are very important, it need to take part as one of the most important thing for the town. I will take the hotel culture as my new town, they using the old building make it into a modern look with the old and culture in it.

2. Investigation & Data Collection:Present Town –City of Paris

Page 9: Enbe final project

Paris is the capital of France and also the country largest city. The city of Paris is within unchanged since 1960s. The city is situated on the banks of the Seine River and is one of the largest European capitals. The metropolitan area of the city is one of the most populated in Europe; about 11.5 million people live in it. Paris is one the world largest leading business and cultural centers. Paris is also one of the most popular tourism in the world. Paris is world-known with its neo-classical architecture and also has many museums, art galleries, historical and recreation places.

Page 10: Enbe final project

Arc de Triomphe Grande Arche de la Défense

Arc de Triomphe is situated in the middle of the large circular square Place Charles De Gaulle. Built in 1806 to 1808, it followed the model of the Arc of Constantine in Rome.

In the early 1980s, Grande Arche is the president who commissioned construction of the grand project to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution in 1989. This project is to promote their culture.

Triumphal Way is located in between Arc de Triomphe and Grande Arche de la Défense. You can see from the walk away from old to modern.

Champ De Mars

The Haussmann had success improved the fresh water system. Architecture of Paris had brought up the city into an urban landscape. Less than twenty years, what came to be called Haussmannism had been completely reshaped the city into a brand new look. Air and traffic circulation improved. The city is large and open space were made available for the people. But even more, Haussmann created a city that inspired to became an uplifting city; a city with a soul. Paris continues to evolve along with the ambitions of urban planners. But with every walk down a Parisian street, or stroll through a Parisian park, Haussmann’s imprint remains clearly on display. Champ de Mars is still in used in the military academy. It was a central park features of the open park is the Eiffel Tower. This park is popular for people to gather here and have outdoor activities like picnic. Along the stretch of grassland are some pretty laid out gardens with scrubs and flowerbeds, especially near the Eiffel Tower you’re will find a couple of pond over there. There also have some playground there and some plenty of space for enjoying other activities.

Page 12: Enbe final project

Conclusion:

Paris is the one of the famous tourism in the world. Those building or skyscraper had increased the rate of tourism. Not just only the building, they also not forget about the green environment. There have many central park in the city. What I use for my future town is I will build a green area in the central of the town and to allow people to use the open space park to enjoy their outdoor activities.

3. Investigation & Data Collection:Future Town – Masdar City, Dubai

Four centuries ago, it just a plenty of dessert but now inhabited what today is known as Dubai. By the end of the 18th century, a handful of people had settled there to form the Dubai town and engaged in pearl trading, thus establishing the pearling industry. The population was about 800 then. By the early 19th century, members of the Bani Yas clan established Dubai, which remained dependent on Abu Dhabi till 1833.Dubai came under the protection of the United Kingdom by the “Exclusive Agreement” of 1892. The Emir of Dubai, meanwhile, tried to develop the business of Dubai by making foreign trades and decreasing the taxes, thus expanding and making Dubai and Dubai Creek the Trading Hub.

Page 14: Enbe final project

Masdar city conceived in 2006, phase one of the cities already completed after three year of work. The development, near the Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, consists of six building, one street, 101 small apartments, a large electronic library, and the Masdar Institute. In 2013, for phase two due to be finished this year, will add 222 more apartments, and more streets and shops. The Abu Dhabi government unveiled the project that eventually will be able to sustain 50000 resident and more than 1000 businesses. Predict that this project will be finish in 2025.

Masdar City, will be the first zero carbon city in the world. The city environmental efforts have result to build a grand plan nearby city that will entire carbon neutral and produce no waste. Although the climate of the new city is hot. They plan to build a solar thermal power plant. A desalination plant will provide fresh water by using the solar energy too. The city will also use hydrogen power plant as well. It produces a clean source of energy, produce much fewer of

Page 15: Enbe final project

carbon dioxide in this day. To conserve water that used in the city to involved plan to recycle at least 80% of the water used. Recycle the gray water, such as water from shower and sink. There will be no car in the city; an electric-powered light rail on elevated tracks will allow easy transport between Masdar City and Abu Dhabi. The vehicle will run on a magnetic track by using the electrical power.

Conclusion:Masdar City had showed me that the important of recycle. I will use all the system that used in the city for my future city, such as the solar energy to generate electricity. To become the future zero carbon city that won’t have any pollution that harm the earth.

The new “X” city/ The new name?

The Zerone town

Why called Zerone?

Zerone is the combined word of ‘Zero’ and ‘One’. The reason why my town is called Zerone is because of meaning ‘Back to 0 and start at 1’. It means that everything will be start over again after the doomed day. The Zerone also mean that the first town that floating in the air, as we called that the spaceship. My town is totally floating above the cloud. It is a very safe place and also that the only hope for the human that live in the earth. Human will start living in 1/1/01….

In 2014, the geologist predicted that in 2047 will be the end of the day, which is the doom day. As the mayor of the town, and the people in the town are starting to get afraid. I had decided to make a town that can live in the air with the co-operation from China. This a huge project and also the important and last hope of the project. This project will change the view of the people think. Not just a safe house to shelter temporarily, it is a house of yours future. ‘If we can’t stand on the land, we stand on the cloud’ to presenting my new project for our last hope.

Page 17: Enbe final project

The people of Zerone town are all Malaysian. The Muslims are politically dominant in the town as usual. The town is suitable to longevity and sustainability. It also promotes the efficient public transportation that we have here is train and water taxi. These two transportations that are not using any natural gas at all, it is power by the electricity. It uses the solar energy to convert into electricity.

The zoning of the town

Page 18: Enbe final project
Page 19: Enbe final project

The residential area is located quite far from the industrial area to allow that the resident can have a peaceful and quite life in the town. They are some commercial and business area near the residential area that easy for the resident to buy thing at the shopping mall and work in the office. There will be had culture area in each of the residential area too.

Government area are surrounding by the residential area. It provides occupation opportunities to the resident of Zerone. In the government area, there will be had a security that protect the area. Furthermore, public services like police station, firefighter station and hospital are located in the middle next to the transportation area that can take quick response on both sides if any emergency happen in the town.

Moreover, the green area are located in the middle of the town that surrounding by the water. The green area provides a cool air and clean and also improve the climate of the town. Citizens are enabling to have family activities like sport or picnic in the park. There will be a community area/town square in the north of the green area to allow the residents that can communicate and know each other more to prevent racist and any negative activities. The agriculture area provides sufficient for the resident that make sure they are healthy.

In addition, education area such as kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, college and university are located in between the residential area and transportation area only. To build on that place is because is easy for the student that nearby from their house or they can go there by the public transport nearby. The recreational area is near to the education area to allow the student to relax after their school.

The hospitality and tourism area are located beside the commercial area to allow that tourist are easy to shopping in the mall and know more about our town. The area are including of six

Page 20: Enbe final project

star hotel and airport. The view from the hotel is a beautiful natural landscape of the lake and forest. There will have livestock, warehouse, industrial area and agricultural area in the end of the town. To build this all together in one location is because is link to each other and need to has a distance in between citizen live.

Design Concept

I designed the shape of the town like the concept of “bird”. I use the body of bird is because the bird is the only that can fly up to the sky. The shape of the town is design to reduce the wind resistance which the town will not be shaking in anytime. There a layer below the town is to redirect the wind away when flying.

Page 21: Enbe final project

Plan

Page 22: Enbe final project

Solar PanelNot just only the shape of the town, I'm also designed some building that with the concept of bird. I designed and the engineer created the solar panel with a powerful new generation of solar system that was 3 times then more solar panel. The panel shaped like the wing of the bird and each of panel like the feather. The solar power is the one of the most important energy that needed in the town, like electricity to light up the town. In night, the solar system has enough power to store and can last for 24 hours.

The bird nest stadium is one of the design concepts of bird in the town. It is also the largest stadium in the town.

Transportation system

From the picture in above, it show the highway of the town and connected to all the area in the town. There is all green area in between the highway. It is a beautiful landscape on the side that drives thru the highway.

Page 25: Enbe final project

A walkway are provides for the citizen to encourage them to cycle and less use car.

A tunnel with pollution free, ultra-quite transit system that makes people healthier. Use an infrastructure of elevated cycle tracks, with a high speed of bikeway.

Page 26: Enbe final project

Public Transportation Route

The picture in above is the route for the public transportations. There are two transports here, there are train and water taxi. The train station has two lines. The first line is for the people to place where are common like go to study, go to work or go to service center. The second line is for shipping. The train is just only for the goods and workers in the industrial, livestock, warehouse and agriculture area only. There also have two supporting lines that just only have stations in residential area only.

Page 27: Enbe final project

Train

The Hyper loop - a fast, sustainable and cost-efficient train system without rails yet topped with solar panels and propelled by both electric motor and air cushion dynamics.

Water taxi

The CAT, or City Aquatic Transportation, is an electric boat with range-extending engine, or solar-powered electric hybrid that can drive on the water.

Page 28: Enbe final project

Water system

The picture above is showing the water moving under the town. The water is made by the cloud. How to make? First with collecting the cloud from the air then steam the cloud with machine, the cloud condensed then become the water. But the water still hasn’t done yet; it needs to distill before the water can be transmitted to every corner of the town. There had two water storages that can be used for the human in the town for one month.

Page 29: Enbe final project

Water distribution system

Power supply

It show how the power supply connected to each place in the town.

Page 30: Enbe final project

Wind energy is another useful form of energy; it can produce power supply to the entire town. It use wind turbine to turn into electrical power. I take benefit to the town, which is low cost of energy, clean sources and can reduce the use of carbon footprint. Wind turbine will be install in the end of the town which is the industrial area that near to the solar panel.

Perspective Sketches

Conclusion about Zerone Town:

In my opinion, a future town is not just only need to be full of high technology or futuristic skyscraper, but it should be fulfilling required and citizen live with a comfort place. Zerone town build to be a zero carbon town and eco-friendly building for the citizen. So that citizen can live healthier in the town.

Page 33: Enbe final project

Conclusion:From this project, I had learnt how important of every part when you have to build up a town. You need a lot of thinking idea and design to build a town. For example, you designed and arranged the zoning of town that are some of the areas are not allow to link together. You have to think about how you get the energy supply, infrastructure, transportation, facilities and more.

I think everyone have to take in account about the natural and environment of the world. For future, we need to learn more green technologies that can reduce a lot of harmful thing that bring effect to the earth. If this two such as high technology and eco-friendly combine it together, that will be an inspired future town.

So far, I really enjoy doing this project. I hope that my town will be choosing by the lecture as a model town for the group. I can’t wait to see my town to build as a model.
