Like a gorgeous painting, these thread-compiled fruit groves and rice paddies combine the colours of

nature with people’s activities to create a distinctive landscape.

When people walk into these woven fruit groves and rice paddies, they seem to enter a magical labyrinth.

The intertwining and interweaving of threads provide people with clues to guide and explore. They can

follow the clues, step by step, through these beautiful landscapes and discover the wonders and surprises.

Ho Chi Minh City is the largest port city and economic center of Vietnam, and the development of its ports

along the river has brought development to the city and boosted the economy. cat Lai Port and Saigon New

Port are located at our site.

In terms of transportation, with the development and urbanization of the city, Ho Chi Minh City plans to build

11 rail lines, of which the M1 line is now in operation. It shows the transport connections from the central

areas (in zone 1) to sub-centers (in zones 2 and 3), and a railway line connecting to M2 and a Multimodal

Transport Interchange are planned to be built on our site. centres (in zones 2 and 3)

Urban development is also accompanied by industrial upgrading and economic transformation. Ho Chi Minh

City is the largest industrial base in Vietnam. The industrial output accounts for more than 30% of the country's

total industrial output. The diagram shows the existing industry areas in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the plan, Thu Duc City will be developed into a new urban innovation zone. High-tech parks and

higher education parks will drive the industrial upgrading of Ho Chi Minh City.

However, flood vulnerability continues to increase due to rapid urbanization and uncertain flood factors.

Darker colors represent higher flood vulnerability. There are no effective measures in the city to cope with

extreme flooding situations. However, flood hazards affect urban development and bring serious disasters to

transportation and new innovative industrial areas.

Our site is located in an area of high flood vulnerability.

Although compared with the central urban area, our site is relatively higher, so the flood risk is relatively small,

which is one of the important reasons for its good development value, but due to the many rivers and complex

water systems, there is still a flood crisis, especially This risk may intensify in the future as cities develop

AOI is the conflict between ports and flooding along the Dong Nai River. The port area is mainly composed of

two cargo steamship companies and a steamship fueling station,which built in two thousand and nine,twenty

twenty,twenty seventeen and twenty fourteen.They connect with the mian traffic line,which can facilitate the

export of products from the industrial zone,and other infrastructure such as the new airport. In addition,ports

have hard pavement such as concrete,cement floor, and soft pavement such as greening. We classified

pavement types and overlaid data on flooding level. It can be found that the degree of disaster in the hard

paved area is more serious than that in the green area.

Project 1

Analysis Of Environmental

Issues In Ho Chi Minh City

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m3A4NnGVGs85aYPyUZmVAEaYy_TcrtQx?usp=share_link

Firstly, analysed the distribution of old and new terminals and sites around the Dong Nai River system in Ho Chi

Minh City, Vietnam, to analyse the impact of these human factors on flooding. At the same time, with economic

development and changes in government planning, a huge LongCheng airport is being built to the east of the

city, which will replace some of the international cargo functions of the cargo port, and we can see that some

of the transport routes will be changed. With this, some of the old ports will be abandoned or replaced, and

it is my next major area of research to renovate these old industrial sites, remedy the remaining industrial

pollution and combat the flooding problem. My project site is located in the Cang cat lai cargo ports, which

contains several old and new ports and an oil station for cargo ships, and by showing the details of this area, it

can be seen that hard paving such as concrete, concrete etc. can also cause more flooding than in green areas.

In terms of the planning of the project site, I have outlined the timeline from 2000 to 2035, stating that two of

the old piers will be lost due to conflicting functions and ageing facilities, part of the oil station facilities will be

reused, a large area of wasteland behind the piers is planned for residential development and one of the new

piers will continue to be used.

The analysis of the problems of the existing jetty shows that the industrial pollution and the infiltration of

the water and the mud of the riverbed of the Dong Nai are seriously affecting the ecological health of the

area. I therefore propose the following strategy, firstly to change the topography of the original river bank by

removing the most polluted topsoil from the riverbed and disposing of it. cut the less polluted riverbed soil to

fill the intervention area, thus raising the terrain to become a flood control slope for the residential area and

adding vegetation to the area to increase the infiltration of standing water. In addition, the dredging of the

previously disconnected stream, which was connected to the main stream of the river Tonne, provides more

room for water, and the creation of a buffer area through the excavated streambed area, where the alteration

of the streambed affects the velocity of the water flow, reduces the velocity of the water flow in the buffer area

and the counteracting effect with the stream flow leaves more sediment to renew the soil and create natural

islands. Finally, ecological restoration will be carried out in the remediation area.

For the ecological restoration part, I mainly used vegetation to absorb pollutants and animal excreta to

renew the soil. The riverbed section relies on mangroves for soil and water restoration and the development

of a benign ecosphere. In the design of the flood control area, I have kept the original green areas and have

a stepped form. In normal time it is a park for rest and recreation for the surrounding residents, while in

flooding time it has the function of a flood control slope. In the shoreline and buffer area I have remedied the

situation with sediment renewal and mangroves. In the oil station area I have used the old industrial sites for

environmental protection and energy saving. In 2050 the riverbed soil will be renewed and rehabilitated, the

buffer area will have many small natural islands made of sediment, the mangroves will be transformed into a

water forest and the ecology will enter a virtuous cycle.

Finally, the combination of flood control, pollution remediation, ecological restoration and habitat provides a

certain value for the renewal of the port and flood control measures in Ho Chi Minh City. This will promote a

balanced ecological and economic development of the city.

SECTION BB'

There are three main responses to environmental problems, including flooding and

industrial pollutant residues. The first is flood prevention, which is achieved by providing

more room for water, specifically by artificially draining the buffer areas of streams and

canals, and by constructing flood protection slopes that are both human-friendly and

environmentally friendly, including space for human activities and ecological areas.

Secondly, the remediation of pollution consists of two main measures: the renewal of

the riverbed soil with sediment and ecological cleaning. Sediment renewal is mainly

through sedimentation by the different velocities of the water in the buffer area of

the Dong Nai River, as well as through the hedging effect of the artificial stream and

the water of the Dong Nai River. Ecological purification is achieved by the absorption

of plants, the ecological orientation of mangroves and the development of a benign

ecosphere.

These measures not only remedy the pollution and flood

drainage problems inherited from the old industrial sites,

but also make use of abandoned facilities as part of the

remediation of pollutants. The combination of these manmade and natural modifications promotes environmental

optimisation and a virtuous cycle in future development.

Regarding the analysis of the population and space around sandy bay, the age structure ratio of the current

living population and the fragmentation of the existing space are studied.

Based on Sandy Bay's topography, surrounding facilities, demographics, route planning, regional development

and other comprehensive factors, the research and analysis serves as the basis and background for the

subsequent in-depth design.

LEGEND

As we peel back the history of Sandy Bay after its reclamation, we could uncover a guided development pattern influenced by three of the largest stakeholders in the region.; “The Educators”, “The Hospitals”, and “The Rehabilitation centers”. During such process, gate started to erect, and the land used slowly deterred from being accessible and connected, with the result being a fragmented landscape. As we circled around understanding the coastal trail, and the positive influenced it could potentially bring to its nearby residence, we began to questioned the lost opportunity that the area experienced in its resulted landform, and the merit in reconnecting the land.

After gaining a deeper understanding of the snady bay, I selected an area of about 7×7 square meters

according to the assignment to make a viewing platform for wheelchair users. Among them, many special

materials and structures are used to deal with existing obstacles such as flood walls, so that wheelchair users

can also enjoy this beautiful scenery.

Small Space Facilities For

Special Populations

On the basis of the previous two projects, I have broadened the endowment group to groups with physical

and mental disabilities. The reason is that there are hospitals, nursing homes and schools for special children

nearby, and they are in great need of physical and mental healing. However, the existing conditions only limit

them to a small indoor space, so I designed a healing landscape garden in sandy bay.
