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 />

November-December <strong>2017</strong><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 />
