ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Future City Representation
* (describe the project brief, the things that you have to do etc + how does it relate to the subject. Max 3 paragraph.. not more that 150 words.)
Based on this project, the things that I have to do is to propose a new layout of my
new city quickly. I also had to show the symbiotic relationship of the elements of the
natural and built environment. In addition, I should be able to describe the different
characteristic of the environment after completing this project.
Researches on past, present and future cities also need to be done to understand the
component and elements that a city needs. I also had to come up with a new future
city which is better than the present one. The city that I have to come up with must be
sustainable and livable for all my citizens.

Ancient Cities
(Describe and layout your findings and the conclusion 1-2 cities preferably almost similar to your selected future city )
3.1 When did it start? History and all3.2 What ancient city are you concentrating on?3.3 What makes is a significant city and what are the details?3.4 Conclusion about the cities3.5 What information or element that you can use to your new future city3.6 Etc
Part A (i)
3.1- It is founded in 1325 and became the capital of Mexico Empire. It is built on an
island, called Lake Texcoco,in the Valley of Mexico.
3.2- The city I'm concentrating on is Tenochtitlan, also known as Mexico now. I took
Tenochtitlan as an example of my ancient cities on floating cities.
3.3- Around 45% of the population uses the public transit. The city plan is laid out on a
grid plan. The city was divided into four zones or campan, each campan is divided to 20
districts and each calpulli is crossed by streets or tlaxilcalli. There are three main streets
that crossed the city, each leading to one of the three causeways to the mainland, Each
districts is separated into – marketplace, public buildings and palaces of Montezuma.
The population of the city is about 200,000 people.
3.4- In 1521, the city was destroyed. The rest of the city was either destroyed,
dismantled or buried as Mexico City was built on top of it.
3.5- There were canals along the city and it reached to all parts of the city. I took the
canal as an example to put it in my future city.

4.1- Venice was founded in 421 AD on April 25th. It is located in northeastern Italy sited
on a group of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges.
4.2- I took Venice, Italy as an example for my present floating city.
4.3- The city is divided into six areas. These districts consist of parishes. The
transportation used are cars, boats, walking, waterbuses, water taxis, train and gondola.
Venice is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by 177 canals in a shallow
lagoon, connected by 409 bridges. What makes it a significant city is that it is one of the
most important tourist destinations in the world for its celebrated art and architecture.
Tourist are attracted to visit this country is because of its culture which is performing arts
and music, its grandeur architecture, interior design, cuisine, literature, art and festivals.
4.4- It is a great tourist attraction which I can take an example for my future city
4.5- To have lots of culture places so that it will attract tourists to come to my city.

5.1- The model is designed by Vincent Callebaut, a Belgian architect in March 2008 for
future climatic refugees. He proposed this model as a long term solution to rising water
level.
5.2- The Floating ecopolis, otherwise known as the Lilypad.
5.3- It is a prototype for a self-sufficient amphibious city. It designed to hold
approximately around 50,000 people. A mixed terrain man-made landscape, provided by
an artificial lagoon and three ridges, create a diverse environment for the inhabitants.
Each Lilypad is intended to be either near a coast, or floating around in the ocean.
5.4- The goal for this design is to create a harmonious coexistence of human and nature.
5.5- To make a greener future city based on Lilypad

6. The “X” City
(describe and explain what happen to the “X” City and what are the things that is required in the new future city)
6.1 When did it start? History and all6.2 Who are the people, population religion etc6.3 What are their cultural, needs, type of jobs6.4 What would be a good future city for them?6.5 Conclusion about the X city6.6 Etc
Part A(i)
Name of my future city - Sea scrapper
6.1- What happened to my city- In the year 2033, the world population has increased a lot
and land cannot withstand the weight of it. Some more global warming has become serious
where all the ice has melted which increases the water level of planet Earth. Therefore, I
decided to build a city floating on water.
6.2- Malaysians are living on my floating city. The populations in my city are around 300,000
people. In my city, there will be Malays, Chinese, Indians, and Bumiputras. The main spoken
language will be English in my city.
6.3- The type of job that my citizens will mostly consider is port policemen to guard around
the border so that no pirates will come. Besides that, there will be fishermen too to provide
food supply for my city. There will be various types of jobs for my citizens.
6.4- What would be a good future city for them is that it is modern, clean, suitable
temperature, green environmental, good transportation, safe neighborhoods and more.

(Describe the new facilities, characters, etc of the new city…. Insert information related to the brief “Part A iii C”)
7.1 How did you came up with the solution to create this new city7.2 Why is it floating on water etc7.3 What is the important characteristic and elements7.4 Etc… “Part A iii C”7.5 Conclusion about the new X city7.6 Etc
Part A(iii)
-SEA SCRAPPER
7.1- By doing lots of research on floating buildings or houses, I came up with this idea of
creating this floating city. I also watched a few movies to get my ideas to come up with this
city.
7.4- Part A(iii) A- Geometric shape, form, pattern and structure of the city.
- The geometric shape of my city will be in a honeycomb structure. There will be lots
of hexagon combined together to form a big honeycomb or hexagon like pattern. The
reason I chose this pattern is because of its hexagonal cells. It is also widely used in
construction. It is strong and also lightweight. All the hexagonal cells will be linked
together. One of cell will be approximately 20m wide and 50m tall

ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Future City Representation
Part A(iii) B- Main focus of the city
- The main focus of the city will be in the center where commercial buildings and city
will be there. Besides that, the other main focus of the city will be the canal from one
end of the recreational park to the opposite end of the recreational park.
Part A(iii) C- The zoning of the city. In my city, there are
Religious buildings Recreational parks City area Housing area(condo, houses, apartments) Government building Commercial buildings Port Industrial Hospitals Sanitary Water distribution Agriculture Sewage

Zoning of my city
Below my city, it will be supported by this shape
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Future City Representation
Part A(iii) D- People and their activities
- People will just be doing what people normally do, going to the mall, working in the
office, schooling, jogging in the park, resting at home, etc. There will also be an
observatory bridge around the park for people to see the view of the city.
Part A (iii) E- Transportation and Infrastructure
- Using public transports or cars can cause pollutions in my city and I don’t want that
to happen. So, in my future city, hybrid cars that do not release carbon monoxide will

Observatory bridge
One part of my recreational area
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Future City Representation
be used, same goes to the public transport. All cars and public transport will be
electrical charged or using the sunlight as an energy source.
-Electric will be obtained from hydroelectric near the end of the city.. It will save cost
as it is only using the energy from water..
-Cars will not be use is large group because it may cause traffic jams. Instead,
straddling buses will be used in my city. All my citizens will practice using the future
transportation, straddling. Gondola will be used too to bring tourist around the
recreational part of my city.
-I want the road in my city to be solar panelize. That means it will be using solar
panels to receive and collect energy from the sun. It will be lighted up at night so that
7drivers can drive safely. Streets lights will also be installed using solar panel to
receive energy and to light up when it starts to be dark at night. The road will also
have LED installed in them so it will light up. The top part of my road will be
transparent-like so that energy from the sun will be collected.

9. Conclusion(describe what was important and others should follow or perhaps should know and what did you learned)
Max 3 paragraph.. not more that 150 words
During the process of collecting data for my city, what was important was to know whether
if it is sustainable or livable for my citizens. There were a lot to be concern about, from
‘What if it sinks one day?’ What if no one wants to live in my city and it becomes deserted?.
Going through lots of process during the planning of my city is also important to make
sure that everything is perfect. What I’ve learned throughout this project is that coming up
with a new city is not easy even though it sounds easy. There are a lot to think about, from
the zoning to how they sustain their energy. Besides that, going through trial and error in the
process also makes me someone who doesn’t give up continuing sketching.
