Invited university‐level schools of Urban Design, Architecture, and Building Science are requested to select and convey up to two student design proposals to the ‘Designing Resilience in Asia 2016 – International Design Competition’ held at the National University of Singapore’s School of Design and Environment. The projects can correspond to undergraduate or graduate levels of study. A single student or multiple students can author the projects. A maximum of twenty design proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by an international jury at the National University of Singapore.
The event was also combined with the "International Workshop Course” of the Architectural Design and Research Institute of NCKU. In the beginning, the discussion of design was operated in the second semester of the 104 academic year. Then the project proposals were completed at the end of the semester. With our confidence and painstaking works, we set off for the competition event in Singapore from 26th to 30th, June, 2016, which included lectures, seminars of three reviewers and guides to some of the famous architectural cases in Singapore. To be brief, we all learnt a lot from it and were so grateful for the opportunities.
TEAM A
Micro-self-healing
The process of spontaneiusly renovate from the most basic unit.
Owing to urban and rural development gap in Philippines,infrastructure in remote areas are generally imperfect,and urban system are not strong enough,either.When the towns face the natural disasters,especially the coastal ones,it's difficult to come over the resources,and residents can not always rely on others to rescue.In this situation,it's the best way that help them build the"Micro-self-healing"mechanism.
By individually self-healing,trying to establish a micro-subsistence system,re-create interaction between people,intensify community cohesion,enhance the ability to adapt to the environment and generate self- worth identity,becoming a sustainable resilient city.
TEAM B
Resilient Grid
In order to make the city a safer place to live and cope with the loss of illegal power connections for the government, we try to come up with a win-win plan by creating a new power transmission system that, based on the old one, induces residents to use and gives them a chance to earn extra money with equipment of generating electricity by manpower. On the other hand, the government can get the revenue without loss after renewing the existing power transmission system and cut down the possibilities of fire accidents.
Besides the new power transmission system, we provide a mini community center in each region of fifteen-to-twenty houses to strengthen the social relationship. It would become a temporary assembly place in which residents can also generate emergency power during the flood, without electric supply.
When a disastrous flood hits, people at the mini community center are able to use the detachable device to flee or move to a higher refuge for protection, depending on different areas. Thus, they have the capability to rescue themselves in an urgent situation.
