This is a state owned under-developed area that is about to under go the
process of urban and social development. Kubota and Bachman Architects
have designed a plan called Europan-10 that helps in exploring the
greener possibilities of the area and also to harness the resources
available. The entire design that includes the volume of the area, the
pattern, housing, public utility
space and landscaping has been planned in order to advocate greener
lifestyle. The main idea here is to have people from all diverse
backgrounds, cultures, economic and socioeconomic backgrounds unified.
The common areas will include park and a playground, a lawn and a
fountain suitable for all the levels of the society. In order to make
every home unique, the buildings are going to be designed by other
architects based on the owner’s choice.The proposal is to make all the
buildings of the urban composition in wood. The roof will be designed to
have solar panels and also organic garden which supports green eco-system. In order to keep the crowd away from the residential areas, the proposed idea is to make organic gardens of around 25-30 m size and also to demarcate them from the roads.

Tian Yi Town Master Plan
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.
Abandoned Tunnels Underground Wonders
Travel guides mostly do not mention these under ground wonders, creepy
tunnels and massive underground systems. Some of these tunnels are only
recently opened to public. Some are still impossible to enter and very
hard to explore. But this is where the “spirit of adventure” comes in,
as multitudes of amateur photographers descend into the unknown to bring
back evidence of things unseen.

reconquering of Spain performed by the Christian kings, started. This
adds to its aura. While the illiterate Christians were advancing, Spain
reached its highest cultural level ever, but under the Muslim rulers.
The slender structure of Alhambra, the breathtaking details, the celebration of life, the mixture of nature in men’s design, all underline what tragedy the return of Christianity in Spain was to be for centuries to come.
