Compromise between Architecture and Environment

City of Participation
The proposal is to provide a framework of good public spaces in the city. In the case of , this means high quality water space within the city. The quality of the public realm sets the standard of civility of the city and raises the design ambition of the citizens. The idea is to make the city as a whole-an attractive destination for newcomers and visitors.

City of Coexistence
The proposal is an integrated city, full of vitality and liveliness. We have tried to reduce the need for single functional zones in the city. Diverse functions are sited in close proximity to each other, compatibility permitting. A city of integrated functions increases the potential for adaptability when changes in the economy occur, and it reduces the wasteful practice of daily commuting that is caused by single functional zones in the city. One of the primary coexistences of the proposal is the idea of an urban wetland useful for water purification and as habitats for migrating birds and other wildlife. This offers an adaptability and responsiveness to change that a more fixed and deterministic master-planning approach cannot provide.



Process

To the recent scale increase in tourism corresponds an important change in design. Increasingly different programs are included in the tourist mix_residential, commercial, culture and leisure and increasingly landscape and infrastructure forms become the dominant means to brand and make recognizable these new entitles.
A main principal in the project is not only formal definition but also functional openness and hybrid, we know flexibility is important aspect in the urban planning, so we have designed it so as to allow for future density increase and economic change. This schemes of resiliency will be primary importance in the after few days.

A Hybrid Effect
We propose to develop with three intertwining lines Industry, Tourism and Education. Tourism, today is an important economic sector. Already enormous tourism developments are underway in the Korea. We propose a grand vision for Incheon Songdo Development called ‘’. will develop along three lines : a substantial IFEZ devoted to industry and education and an equally important tourism territory.

7colors
Each of them has a different combination of programs, but strikingly each of the island or peninsulas contains residential, productive and tourist program. This project now contains seven projects. We propose to abandon a traditional linear phasing in favor of a parallel approach, so each fragment will have a combination of programs. This increases the flexibility of the schemes and its chances for success.



Programs

The world is facing global environmental problems, we are now looking for answers through architecture. By creating a building that does not burden the resources of the local environment.
Integrating remediation, conservation and cultivation processes yields compounding results. The cumulative localized benefits resulting from infrastructure planning can be leveraged to create compounding results on the scale of the overall site. Infrastructure planning always reeds to think of the implications of the processes themselves : The flow of resources can be designed for environment improvement and economic gain. Coordinating these processes on a site this large can result in exponential efficiencies in each step of remediation, conservation and cultivation. In doing so, can cultivate and improve biodiversity.
Development can rehabilitate the environment, not destroy it. All of the land that we propose can function to enrich the natural ecology. It includes wetlands, water treatment ponds and green of beds. Even the build-up urban areas can clean the water and help balance the ecosystem. The proposed land will begin to remediate the environmental conditions of the site, while the built environment will establish a sustainable urban network. Tog
