It is very difficult to plan a housing
community in the wetlands. But, the town of Tian Yi makes it look like
living in wetlands is very comfortable. It has been designed by Schmidt
Hammer Lassen Architects. The housing community plan integrates a
self-sustenance hub that includes natural vegetation, a wetland design
and a canal system. The plan includes three zones, which gives the
design sustenance and the required shape. The three zones consist of
outer ring, which has dense vegetation and wetlands, inner ring, which
consists of place for social activities and community services and the
central zone, has a great garden for all relaxation activities. The
buildings within the community are designed in a zigzag manner in order
to make the best use of natural ventilation and heat. On these wet
lands, the design also includes schools, hospitals, library and any
other facility that is required for people
to live in the community. Since this is going to be constructed on
wetlands, there will be provisions for rainwater harvesting. As per the
plan, people from all the levels of income will be able to enjoy
residing at the Tian Ti Town.
