Design Sketches Development

Bus Sketch Development

The inital idea of the bus was something wider and slightly longer but I decided to use the design of a bendy bus so as to allow more passengers and seats. Since our group is going to use the eco-friendly concept, the bus has motifs of flowers and leaves. 

Elderly Town Residential Tower Development

Started with a rectangular shaped building before developing it into square towers with linkways connecting the blocks of flats.

More greenery added to it.

Further developed the residential tower by using a hexagon shape which is inspired by honeycomb and a bee colony. The residential tower now sits on a platform like a shop house but in the form of high-rise apartments.

Our group decided on a circular shape and to experiment and play around with the design, I added a rooftop garden and a glass lift shaft at the side which can be seen on the exterior of the architecture. More greenery like trees are added and the rails of the monorail is visible on top of the platform which has an organic structure.

This is the final sketch and design. Keeping the circular shape of the tower, the lift is now relocated to the center and there is a dome rooftop garden to incorporate solar panels so as to make the Elderly Town more eco-friendly and energy saving. The monorail is no longer a part of the platform but a separate entity. Gardening plots are added and window grails with planting functions are introduced. These additional features can add more personalised and natural greenery to the town and furthermore, the idea of farming and plantation can be an idea to look into for the town.
