Masdar City- Abu Dhabi's Green City

guten nachmittag!

eeyyy...ap kabar? kabar sayah kurang baik, lagi ngerjain skripsi (ok, who's askin u? hehehe...) well...take a good point here...i found something interesting, especially for me.
ni kan ceritanya aku lagi garap skripsi berjudul " RAGUNAN URBAN GLASS PARK dalam konteks ekologis" wehehehe...sounds creepy. yup, it is creepy. karena apa? karena tiba-tiba saja aku yg 4 tahun bergulat dengan arsitektur, terpaksa berganti haluan sesaat jadi " tukang kebon ". (lebai banget ya...(^^,))) ya gimana lagi, yang tadinya harus belajar bangunan kayak rumah, kantor, hotel dan laen-laen. sekarang garapan gue...RUMAH KACA.

'kenapa lo malah ambil rumah kaca kalo gitu, ra??' jawabannya simple kok...iseng, kawan! buahahahahaha.lama-lama keisengan ini membunuhq. it really will.
well, rumah kaca kan lumayan berhubungan tu sama tema skripsiku, URBAN PARK. nahh...ini bakalan jadi urban park yg beda...di indonesia. wehehehe

jadilah aku mulai searching soal si rumah kaca ajaib ini. n i found that this huge-greenhouse-wannabe had allready built in UK. designed by Norman Foster (Great Glass House) n Willkinson-Eyre (Eden Project) (moga2 g salah tulis.hehehe). tapi itu aja masih kurang. aku gak dapet data2 detail. terutama tentang sistemnya. ya akhirnya nyari-nyari lagi. apalagi setelah chat sebentar sama Sinang, yang ngambil bahasan yang sama waktu seminar kemaren, (well after he asked for royalty coz i've taken his building...hehehe) petualangan surfing di internet pun berakhir sukses dengan ditemukannya sebuah desain kota. MASDAR CITY


ya ampun, ra...itu kan cuma bangunan kaca biasa. like another man-made skyscrapers. weks...salah! salah bgt.itu tu kotaa...yg di dalem sana tu kotaa...lebih tepatnya, Masdar City di Abu Dhabi, UEA. yup, sodaraany sama Dubai.

tu kan...kotaa...iyah bener, kota senilai $22 juta ini bakal dibangun di tengah padang pasir. yang bikin desain ini jadi lebih keren lagi karena kota untuk 50.000 orang dan 1.500 kantor ini udah dirancang sedemikian rupa supaya bener-bener Zero-Energy. Kota ini akan secara total menggunakan energi dari energi-energi terbarukan. energi dari sinar matahari yg dtangkep pake PV panels, Air dari Air Hujan, pengolahan limbah, dan lain-lain. udah gitu..kota ini juga dirancang, car-free. yup, see that...CAR-FREE!!! orang-orang di dalemnya bakalan bertransportasi pake travelator (inget ramp berjalan di carrefour?atau di bandara, yang kita nggak perlu jalan itu? yup. smacam itu) dan sebuah transportation pods.

Inside the Masdar City

ZERO CARBON: 100 per cent of energy supplied by renewable energy – Photovoltaics, concentrated solar power, wind, waste to energy and other technologies

ZERO WASTE: 99 per cent diversion of waste from landfill (includes waste reduction measures, re-use of waste wherever possible, recycling, composting, waste to energy)

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT: Zero carbon emissions from transport within the city; implementation of measures to reduce the carbon cost of journeys to the city boundaries (through facilitating and encouraging the use of public transport, vehicle sharing, supporting low emissions vehicle initiatives)

SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS: Specifying high recycled materials content within building products; tracking and encouraging the reduction of embodied energy within materials and throughout the construction process; specifying the use of sustainable materials such as Forest Stewardship Council certified timber, bamboo and other products

SUSTAINABLE FOOD: Retail outlets to meet targets for supplying organic food and sustainable and or fair trade products

SUSTAINABLE WATER: Per capita water consumption to be at least 50 per cent less than the national average; all waste water to be re-used

HABITATS AND WILDLIFE: All valuable species to be conserved or relocated with positive mitigation targets

CULTURE AND HERITAGE: Architecture to integrate local values.

EQUITY AND FAIR TRADE: Fair wages and working conditions for all workers (including construction) as defined by international labour standards

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS: Facilities and events for every demographic group

waaaww...bener-bener terobsesi ni desain...would it be built? or would it be not? klo bener-bener terbangun, kayaknya bisa jadi contoh. untuk desain urban selanjutnya.


proyek besar ini diperkirakan bakal selesai tahin 2016...whew, 8 tahun lagi! dream yourself inside it. i think it'll be great of having a very green city in the world.

wow,bahasan yg serius. hahahah iseng aja, kawan!!
