Letter from the editor<br />
Dear <strong>FuturArc</strong> Readers,<br />
Your body is about 60 percent water; the surface of our planet, 71 percent. Water is life. It is the conduit for<br />
the many flows and exchanges that keep living systems alive: nutrients, thermal energy, waste, oxygen, etc. It<br />
is home to over 1 million known species of plants and animals.<br />
Water, as a pre-condition for living systems, is the theme of this issue. The cover, in case you wondered,<br />
shows the blue between Singapore and Malaysia. It was inspired by Sylvia Earle, an American marine biologist,<br />
who famously said “no water, no life… no blue, no green”.<br />
The projects ahead speak of the restoration of hydrological landscapes, the remediation of water quality,<br />
the creation of new waterfront places for recreation and contemplation—places with social and cosmological<br />
meaning. Each reminds us that water, from a human perspective, is an instrument of mental and spiritual wellbeing.<br />
And that working with nature is the best design strategy. Of the river projects, the one by Morphogenesis<br />
(A River in Need, page 56) illustrates this best, working with the ebb and flow of tides along the river Ganga,<br />
temporally adjusting human space to hydrological space.<br />
Often, an issue like this leaves us wishing for more, say, projects showing water as habitat. There are two<br />
here—the Lingang Bird Airport (page 52) and Mangrove Tetrapods (page 46)—but there could and should be<br />
others out there. We might also wish for projects that speak to the importance of water as transportation. There<br />
are cities in Asia where water-based mobility has been the cornerstone of development—Ho Chi Minh City and<br />
Bangkok come to mind—where investment in the water transportation is long overdue. Lastly, there are not<br />
enough examples of integration, where a water system simultaneously creates social and ecological value.<br />
A noteworthy exception is Singapore, Asia’s Little Blue Dot (page 16). With a population of 5.5 million and<br />
growing, the small city-state relies heavily on water from Malaysia. The article on four taps tells the story of<br />
diversification, integration and political will. Singapore now has (a) vastly increased its rainwater catchment and<br />
detention areas through land-use policies and urban infrastructure, (b) invested in technologies that recycle<br />
waste water to potable standards, and (c) invested in desalination plants. Imports, by the year 2060, will be<br />
altogether eliminated, making the island self-sufficient.<br />
This, however, is not just an engineering feat. What is remarkable here is that this push for self-sufficiency<br />
is backed by a decision to make water infrastructure more attractive, more people-friendly, and in the process,<br />
making the city more livable. Planners and designers in Singapore are now asked to turn once-hard water<br />
infrastructure into social-ecological spaces. In this issue, we see two examples: Yishun Pond and Sengkang<br />
Floating Wetlands (page 22), which serve both humans and nature.<br />
This then is an argument that is not often heard when experts talk about sustainability: that a solution for<br />
resilience and self-interest should also make for a more beautiful, more inclusive, world.<br />
Happy reading.<br />

NATURE TAKES<br />
CENTRE STAGE<br />
In a bid to expand or improve our living settlements, we have been encroaching<br />
the water’s edge along rivers and seas. In recent years, the rise of blue-green<br />
infrastructures has played a vital role in striking a balance between built<br />
structures and natural water bodies. In this section, we showcase two projects<br />
where the waterways were revitalised by incorporating strategies to amplify<br />
the natural elements and building site-sensitive structures and systems while<br />
retaining the original topographies. Not only do these serve as sanctuaries for<br />
the public within metropolises, they also improve the water network to bring<br />
about a healthier ecosystem.<br />

MANGROVE TETRAPODS<br />
We have all seen these giant concrete structures by some beaches. Tetrapods—<br />
meaning having four legs in Greek—are those quirky four-pronged armour units<br />
designed to protect the coastline by dissipating the force of incoming waves—the<br />
water flows around, rather than against, it. Although they reduce displacement by<br />
their interlocked web structure, these artificial systems tend to be dislodged over<br />
time by the sheer force of the ocean waves, and have been criticised for marring<br />
the beauty of natural coastlines.<br />
In 2016, based on the function of tetrapods, a group of designers decided<br />
to marry the concepts of artificial and natural sea defences to create a hybrid<br />
structure that is equipped with a planted pot (hence the name TetraPOT).<br />
These hollowed structures, weighing a ton each, house mangrove seeds held in<br />
biodegradable pots that decompose within two to three months as the roots grow<br />
downwards to reach for water. When the sea level goes up, a certain amount of<br />
water will be collected in the recess part inside each pot. As such, the concrete<br />
exterior of TetraPOTs will protect the mangrove saplings as they grow—the<br />
maturing roots can grow out of their pots’ pre-drilled holes and intertwine to<br />
prevent soil erosion, offer water filtration and form a natural habitat. With much of<br />

form a natural habitat.<br />

The Sabarmati Riverfront Development<br />
by Anshuman Roy<br />
On 15 th August 2012, the 66 th Independence Day of the Republic of India, the<br />
Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, was declared open amidst great<br />
celebration. The ceremony was presided over by the prime minister of India (then<br />
chief minister of Gujarat) Shri. Narendra Modi. As a project that had been confined<br />
to the blueprints of architects and planners for decades, the revitalisation of the<br />
riverfront would represent a major achievement for the state of Gujarat. Over the<br />
years, the Sabarmati riverfront had been plagued by the flow of untreated sewage<br />
through its waters, the indiscriminate pumping of industrial waste and unmitigated<br />
slum proliferation. The river was rendered inaccessible and saturated, prone to<br />
frequent flooding, with no infrastructure in place to tackle the problem. Though<br />
a number of proposals over the years sought to revitalise the ailing riverfront<br />
precinct, it was only in 1997 that the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC)<br />
formed the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Ltd (SRFDCL) for the<br />
express redevelopment of a waterfront stretch of over 11 kilometres, a designated<br />
priority project funded by the government of India.<br />
The Sabarmati Riverfront Development (SRFD) project, estimated to cost US$190<br />
million, overcame numerous roadblocks on its journey to fruition, in large part due<br />
to concerns regarding water levels and flooding. Opposition from activists involved<br />
with slum rehabilitation was another issue that made a number of headlines during<br />
the initial phases of this project. At the master planning stage, this was therefore<br />
a matter that merited urgent redressal. To accommodate the affected sections in<br />
the overall proposal, provisions were made not just for housing and rehabilitation,<br />
but also for a reorganisation of the existing informal markets and laundry facilities<br />
for the washing community, therein opening up new opportunities along the river<br />
for the displaced populace. The pre-construction stages of the project also involved<br />
detailed hydrological surveys and feasibility studies, which would all directly<br />
influence the strategising, massing and spatial organisation of the design.<br />

FLOATING PONDS: A VERTICAL AQUACULTURE<br />
FARMING TYPOLOGY<br />
Space-Based Vertical Fish Farm As A Self-Sustained Urban Typology<br />
by Alakesh Dutta<br />
The productive and operational viability of vertical farming has thus far been<br />
largely restricted to green leafy vegetables. This vertical aquaculture farming<br />
project is one of the pioneering attempts at taking land-based fish farming<br />
vertical. This is significant as the main nutrient yield here is protein, which<br />
also has a higher economic value in comparison to green leafy vegetables. The<br />
success of this typology can considerably boost the planning for future urban<br />
food resilience, both in terms of productivity per unit land area (critical to dense<br />
urban developments) and nutritional value.<br />
The design for this farm is anchored in two fundamental strategies:<br />
• The purpose-engineered closed-system water reticulation system developed<br />
by the owner (Apollo Aquaculture Group) that makes vertical stacking of the<br />
fish raceways functionally possible<br />
• The systems approach to the planning of the farm that helps to create a selfsustained<br />
farming typology<br />
ADOPTING A SYSTEMS APPROACH<br />
The planning is founded on a comprehensive integration of three main systems<br />
that are engaged by the farm: water, nutrients and energy. A systemic integration<br />
of these systems will lead to a scheme that creates a closed-loop farming ecosystem.<br />
The flow chart (see image 6) shows the embeddedness of the systems<br />
in this design scheme, and depicts the flows and exchanges amongst them. The<br />
spatial design of the farm thereafter works towards enabling these exchanges,<br />
and the architecture is thus a facilitator of the system’s interconnections and<br />
coordinates their integration.<br />

In Conversation with<br />
Nripal Adhikary<br />
by Bhawna Jaimini<br />
Nripal Adhikary<br />
Architect, designer and painter Nripal Adhikary truly believes in small is<br />
beautiful. He is the founder of ABARI, which he set up in 2006 with the<br />
aim of doing socially and environmentally committed research, design<br />
and construction. He seeks to examine, encourage and celebrate<br />
vernacular architectural traditions by starting a conversation around<br />
adapting traditional materials into the modern context, which was<br />
absent from the architectural narrative of Nepal. After the catastrophic<br />
earthquake that wrecked Nepal in 2015, Adhikary feels that though it is<br />
a mammoth task of rebuilding the country, there is a huge opportunity<br />
to change the course of development towards a more sustainable<br />
model, which is the only way to go. He spoke to Bhawna Jaimini about<br />
the challenges of reconstruction after a disaster, sustainability and his<br />
experiments with bamboo.<br />
BJ: The 2015 earthquake was extremely catastrophic for Nepal, killing more than 10,000<br />
people and destroying an estimated 600,000 homes. How is ABARI, your firm, involved in the<br />
reconstruction process right now?<br />
NA: The earthquake was extremely traumatic for the people of Nepal, and since the reconstruction process<br />
hasn’t fully started yet, the memories of the earthquake are as fresh as they were two years ago. We have<br />
been working a lot on the reconstruction of schools and public spaces, which are important to restore normalcy<br />
in people’s daily lives. There is a lot of focus on building houses for people, which I feel is important, but for<br />
us, we have been focusing on working to improve and reconstruct external infrastructure with bamboo and<br />
earth-based construction techniques. We started with developing prototypes, setting up supply chains for these<br />
materials and techniques, and setting up implementation mechanisms. Currently, many of the buildings are in<br />
the implementation stage.<br />
BJ: What is the overall status of the reconstruction work in Nepal?<br />
NA: The situation on the ground is still pretty grim even after two years. The government took very long to put<br />
the reconstruction policy into place and now that it is finally out, it is so stringent that it is almost impossible to<br />
rebuilt as per the policy in the given budget. Each family is being given a grant of NPR 3 lakh (US$3,000) for<br />
the reconstruction of a house, which is very little money if compared to the way the policy has laid out rules for<br />
building, completely eliminating the use of any earth-based materials or bamboo but allowing only steel and<br />
cement. The government needs to understand that no material in itself is safe or unsafe. Many houses built in<br />
RCC (reinforced cement concrete) collapsed during the earthquake while many buildings made with earthbased<br />
techniques survived.<br />

Open Source Permanent School Design<br />
The intention of working on an open source permanent school design is<br />
to rethink the existing paradigm of educational spaces for children in Nepal,<br />
post-earthquake. The buildings will be made from locally sourced materials and<br />
constructed using modified vernacular techniques designed to create safer and<br />
inspiring structures. The school, which can transform and expand according<br />
to individual village needs and site conditions, will feature intuitive natural<br />
technologies as well as permaculture values in order to instil a strong sense of<br />
curiosity and thirst for knowledge in the children. It has a play space component<br />
that challenges the typical classroom design prevalent all over Nepal. It is<br />
conceived as a multifunctional space, which will act as a play area, an art centre, a<br />
small theatre and a shared community space.<br />
The materials used in construction will be local and traditional yet constructed<br />
with creative contemporary building techniques. Almost all of the selected<br />
materials will be site specific, budget conscious and will retain their natural<br />
beauty and texture. The structural design for each building will be multi-hazard<br />
resistant and will act as a model for earthquake-resilient structures for the<br />
entire community. The whole structure will be built with community participation,<br />
making the process empowering for the whole community by instilling a sense of<br />
ownership in the project.<br />

Year-End<br />
We conclude the year with a showcase of<br />
Green projects that have strong social agendas<br />
that seek to improve the environment and<br />
community. These developments aim to<br />
preserve our ecosystems with passive yet<br />
efficient designs and technologies, utilising local<br />
or renewable resources to enhance the ecofriendly<br />
initiatives that are set in place.<br />
If you have projects to nominate, please send<br />
an email with a brief profile and photos to<br />
c.lim@futurarc.com by end <strong>September</strong> <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
We will notify you if your project is shortlisted<br />
for publication. Please note that the selection of<br />
projects is subject to editorial discretion.<br />
