Hallo~~ Good day to you!! Glad to met u again ^__^
ENVIRONMENT
Concept Guideline 1 : Minimize hill cutting, maintain topography of site
For Botanica CT site land is virgin with hills and trees covering the whole area.
Developer is trying to implement the green element of environment by maximizing the
area with trees and minimize hill cutting as they could.
Evaluation
- The hillside cutting for the future development is adapting the terrace cutting style, minimizes the land to cut.
- Terrace cutting would also reduce the risk of landslide, as the landscape such as trees will help to support and stable the land activity.
Concept Guideline 2 : Provision of recreation area
3 acres site area is provided as the green lung
of the Botanica CT.
Evaluation
- The design is too artificial and feels like just to create the atmosphere of garden township only.
- The park has no any proper facilities and functional infrastructures.
- E.g. benches, playground equipment and resting hut.
- It only has some sculptures and hardscape for decoration purpose
Concept Guideline 3 : Landscapes
Various kinds of
trees and shrubs are planted along the roadside, pedestrian walkway and
divider. The landscape comes out with different sizes and shapes, which enhance
the environment by giving a different view in attractive way and create the
sense of place. Besides, the landscape is one of the main components in express
the welcome effect, direction indicators, and the inclusion space.
Evaluation
- Many landscapes and trees planted along the roadways and pedestrian walkways, effort to create scenery of “garden” and “green”.
- Garden community is not simply planting few trees but how the greens integrated in each different land uses.
- Landscape found in residential area : the trees had planted within residential area, but it does not provide any practical uses to local units.
