By the year 2050, the world population is set to increase to 9 billion people, of which 66% will be living in cities. It is argued that this will inevitably lead to further urban densification and soaring, inhumane and dense vertical environments. However, innovative and disruptive technologies impacting all realms of life means that we will also live, work, play, learn and make in novel ways, the beginnings of which are already becoming evident. These present opportunities for reimagining city environments, and in particular tall buildings, with a focus on reducing redundancies and re-appropriating existing buildings, creating novel hybrid environments, incorporating green and social democratic spaces, and integrating multiple modes of transport. This paper examines how vertical cities may perhaps be dense, resource efficient, and yet humane, presenting three possible scenarios for Singapore's context, which are, however, common to many Asian high-density urban environments. The scenarios presented are the outcome of Final-Year Thesis Projects undertaken by final-year architecture students at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2017.

문제 정의
In doing so, the intrinsic values and associations embedded in these sites are also lost. The project argues that this can be avoided by sensitive repurposing of the existing buildings and introduction of various uses and amenities (with an emphasis on sociability) that cater to needs of the residents and the visitors (Cho et al., 2016). In doing so, it is possible to regenerate the older environments such that they become resourceefficient and humane.
가설 설정
Therefore, an assertive shift in the current urban fabric, and in that of the vertical development model is expected. The paper hypothesizes that the aforementioned challenges necessitate the rethinking of tall buildings with an emphasis on mixed-use hybridization, multi-level access and transit integration, and the incorporation of green and social spaces, as outlined below. It argues, that in doing so, vertical cities may perhaps be dense, resource-efficient, and yet, humane, and presents three possible scenarios for the Singapore context, which would be common to many Asian high-density urban environments.
제안 방법
In the context of increasing urban densities and associated pressure on urban land and the built environment, this paper examines how vertical cities could be dense, resource-efficient and yet humane, through the “vertical hybrid” model.
It seeks to repurpose and connect buildings around the chosen site, albeit within the given structural constraints, through injection of complementary functions and transport integration to support a “24-hour work culture”. The proposal presents a novel office typology that supports four modes (focus, collaborative, social and learning) of working spaces and replaces redundant spaces with flexible spaces and circulation networks that could host different functions and users at different times of the day/ week, thus extending their life and use, and introducing the concepts of time and space sharing.
대상 데이터
The chosen site (20 hectares in area) is within the Jurong District in close proximity to the Nanyang Technological University, the industrial estates and public housing developments, and holds significant potential for the confluence of community, industry and university (Fig. 5). It abuts major roadways (Pan Island Expressway and Jurong West Ave 2) and a proposed Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line for easy connectivity with the surrounding districts and green and blue natural elements that surround the site create opportunities for a salutogenic learn-live-work-play-make environment.
) with surrounding buildings and the MRT station enables effective segregation of pedestrian traffic from the vehicles (Table 4(c)). The project uses its underside to create a secure pedestrian link between the housing blocks and neighboring housing developments, the MRT and the NEX mall. This link, essentially a new piece of infrastructure, brings to life a redundant and undesirable “undercroft” space, through the incorporation of a market, small workshops, retail and community functions.
“Diversifying Workplaces” explores a new model of the CBD, devised to recuperate the large investment made in infrastructure and prime real estate value (Archibold and Chng, 2014), while importantly catering to the conveniences of the diverse workforce in-situ as well as those functioning remotely across different time zones afforded by technological and communication innovations (Ang, 2016). The site (0.2 hectares in area) is located at a junction between two arterial roads (Robinson Road and Cross Street) in the Central Business District of Singapore. Proximity to the two MRT stations (Fig.
The site (5.8 hectares) is located in Serangoon, a predominantly public housing district, in Singapore with a residential population of approximately 73,000 people (Tobergte and Curtis, 2013). The site is bordered by the Upper Serangoon Viaduct, while the Serangoon MRT station and the NEX shopping mall provide links to the surrounding housing blocks (Fig.
성능/효과
The three projects evidence that advances in technology, such as online teaching and smart classrooms (Case 1), building automation, and cloud computing (Case 2), demand certain spatial variations and flexibilities that support time/space sharing, and seemingly characterize the hybrid environments, while ensuring resource efficiencies, density of uses and users, and humanization of these gigantic environments.
