THE AWAKENING OF THE BLACK CANAL

Idea projektu

Humans in the area along the Cho Dem canal in the south of Ho Chi Minh City are suffering when facing heavy environmental pollution here. The issue of pollution in the Cho Dem canal is our concern in this project. Since the early years of the 20th century, trading activities from the Binh Dien wholesale market and people's daily activities have released large amounts of waste into water sources without treatment. The canal gradually lost its cleaning ability and became increasingly exhausted along with accompanying problems leading to the current terrible situation: The canal, landscape, and land are being polluted, stinking... are being polluted by waste. Poorly habitat and living conditions of Cho Dem residents: temporary, smelly houses. Aquatic animals do not have a reasonable environment to live, causing loss of biodiversity. There is no market living space. Land is abandoned, hindering people's development and urbanization. Community connections are dying: lack of public space. Fallow hinders local economic development. Based on this concern, we propose a plan to solve the existing difficulties from the problem of core waste discharge and find a way out of the cycle of development and destruction by recognizing the potentials and opportunities to explore. for the human community and environment here and in similar areas.

PROJECT: THE AWAKENING OF THE BLACK CANAL STUDENT: Khanh Duy Vo Nguyen, Truong Tran Long, Minh Thien Nguyen Duong, Nguyen Khang Le Van, Khanh Duy Le Nguyen INSTITUTION: University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh City COUNTRY: Viet Nam SEMIFINAL JUROR: Wandile Sibandze 1. STRENGTHS: It is a beautiful and professionally prepared document. It is clear that the subject matter is well understood and researched by the candidate and that it is close to his ‘heart’ and sensibilities. The candidate presented the realities of the chosen site well and with insight. 2. SHORTCOMINGS: The exploration of relationship between a heritage\ historic context [Dem Market] and the new intervention to address genius loci is not interrogated to any extent. 3. CREDIBILITY OF ARGUMENT: The candidate presents a credible and pragmatic dual-concept aimed at addressing the prevalent issues of concern [pollution] within the limits of the research. He understands the significance of the symbiosis between the natural environment, the built environment, and the economy. 4. DESIGN RESOLUTION: The design is brought to an exemplary resolution and he is able to communicate the pragmatic approach and methodology of project delivery of his proposals convincingly. 5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Acceptable. 6. GENERAL COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 6.1. Enlarge and annotate the master-plan to a legible size. 6.2. Include scale-bar, north-point, and section-line on master-plan. 6.3. Street sections are too diagrammatical and lack reference. 6.4. Consider cycling lanes, where possible. 6.5. It’s difficult to understand the city's silhouette in the absence of the figure-ground. 6.6. Consider adding a traffic flow diagram. 6.7. Consider restraining the amount of trees to create a contrast of urban enclosures. 6.8. Consider safety when designing elevated pathways. 6.9. The project seems to be monolithic\reserved in its application of materiality and texture. 6.10. Address parking requirements as per the planning code.
