Putrajaya Waterfront Residential

Sustainable Towers in Malaysia by Studio Nicoletti Associati



Malaysia is no stranger to iconic buildings. Two of the tallest buildings in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers, are located in Kuala Lumpur, the country’s capital. So it comes as no surprise to us that a stunning new residential development is planned for the Putrajaya waterfront known as Precinct 4, just 30km south of Kuala Lumpur. The design, however, is a refreshing and original with unique, marine-inspired structures - which also draw from traditional Islamic designs - arranged in a permeable, radiating block of bioclimatic architecture.

The winner of a recent contest, the design for Precinct 4 comes from Studio Nicoletti Associati and Malaysian architects Hijjas Kasturi Associates, who provided the masterplan of Putrajaya. The goal of the designers was to provide a model for sustainable residential design that was inspired by the city’s unique landscape which includes an expansive artificial lake. The biggest inspiration came from the sea and the entire development resembles a fleet of ships.

The architect’s goal was to design buildings that tell “of its place of origin which is culturally modern, Islamic and tropical in nature.” Added to this is Nicoletti’s extensive experience in design and construction for extreme climates. For Precinct 4, the Italian firm brought sustainable strategies like terraces, sunshades, natural ventilation and integrated green space into the design. The buildings will source from alternative energy and are expected to produce 50% less CO2 emissions than similar residential projects.

Project: Net Metropolis, 5th Avenue
Designed by Oppenheim
Scope: 1,550,000SF
Mixed use development: office block with 3 towers ranging from 24 to 40 stories, ground level retail, 6 levels of above-grade parking and 1 level sub-grade parking
Estimated completion time: 2011
Location: Taguig, Philippines
Website: www.oppenoffice.com
Located in the heart of the Fort Bonifacio Central Business District just outside of Manila, 3 office towers of Net Metropolis are a product of creating maximum flexibility, comfort, and efficiency. Derived from a study of solar conditions and outward views, the towers are orientated so each is rotating of others axis. The entire project is design with versatility and efficiency in mind, with each tower floor plate designed to accommodate differing tenant demands, minimizing interior columns, and harnessing maximum sunlight penetration through the work environment. Sustainability strategies have been incorporated in all faces of the design, from passive external shading devices to roof mounted vertical access wind turbines to a graywater re-use system that will irrigate all on site landscaping.

The SM Arena is expected to be the venue of choice for sporting events, concerts and entertainment shows. It is set to rival the 50-year old Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.

The Mind Museum to rise in Bonifacio Global City

Science buffs and lifelong learners have something big and bold to look forward to in 2011. The Mind Museum, set to rise on the JY Campos Park in Bonifacio Global City, is a project of the Bonifacio Arts Foundation (BAFI). BAFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization supported by contributions from the Bonifacio Global City property owners.

The Mind Museum aims to be a world-class science museum offering its visitors the opportunity to learn about science by experiencing it through five galleries that present the different aspects and facets of science. The museum will present science in an entertaining and fun manner using over 150 interactive hands-on, and "œminds-on"ť exhibits and displays.

Before entering the main galleries however, visitors will first pass through the McMicking Hall, an exhibit area sponsored by the Ayala Foundation. The McMicking Hall showcases the Ten Most Beautiful Science Experiments throughout history, and is a perfect introduction to the rest of the museum.

The first three galleries - Atom, Life, and Earth"" will let visitors experience the tiny atom, the human brain, and the country's first T-Rex. The Universe Gallery hosts a mini-planetarium, as well as exhibits on gravity, extra-terrestrials, and the sounds of outer space. The piece-de-resistance however, is probably the Technology Gallery, which is the Mind Museum's largest exhibit area. The gallery's main feature is a 360o screen showing the Human Face of Technology. Through the different exhibits in the Technology Gallery, the Mind Museum seeks to demonstrate technology at work, and how we use it.

The most desirable property in any city in the world is the bay front, where the view of nature and the sea is prized above concrete and glass skyline. With 32 hectares along Manila Bay, Alphaland Bay City is not only the largest single development of its kind in Manila, but the only one.

A world class marina and yacht club will be Alphaland Bay City’s centerpiece, surrounded by a sweeping boardwalk lined by outdoor cafés and boutiques, overlooked by five-star hotels. Low-rise commercial buildings will be backed by medium rise residential buildings then by high-rise skyscrapers.

The vision for Alphaland Bay City is a highly efficient place to work, play and live that is part of the inner city but not in it. The entire property will have wide green parks, all leading to the magnificent natural vista of the bay.

Masterplanned by globally renowned urban planners, Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum (HOK).

Construction begins 2012
Completion slated for 2015
