ENBE Project 2 - Better Town of the Future

In this final ENBE project,we focused on the components of a TOWN and the built environment. The challenges will be similar but at a smaller scale than a city.

The Brief

We as the mayor of a town have to come up with a solution to this massive problem, by proposing a new town that's either underground, underwater, floating in the air, floating on the water, on a land next to the a river or sea. The town must be local.

The project is consists two major parts: The individual proposal with video and a group work, that is, to create a model and 3 presentation boards of the town.

PART A: INDIVIDUAL TOWN VIDEO AND PROPOSAL

In this project, I teamed up with Kai Yun, Kailyn and Zhi Fung. After a short discussion with my group members, we decided to choose the town that will floating in the air. Among us, only one town will be selected to proceed to Part B.

PART B: MODEL AND PRESENTATION BOARDS

Kai Yun's town, SNOWFLY is selected for our group. We did a summarized plan for our whole process in Part B, which will aid us throughout the project. Based on the plan, we went around to collect materials. The main material that we are using is PVC which based on the snowflake concept to give a crystal clear effect for the town.

PRESENTATION DAY

Finally, it's presentation day! After getting feedback from the lecturers, we realised that we did a few terrible mistakes. The font of the text is too small in the boards and the scale for the model is too big.

Overall, this project was really fun. I am glad to have group members who are extremely cooperative, although we only have four members in our group.

Communication skills played an important role in this project. It is essential to have good communication skills so that members of a team can understand one another.


By doing this project, I learnt a lot about urban development in general. Besides, I learned that having sufficient research and planning before conducting a project is important.
