It is a space found in Singapore Botanic Garden - Healing Garden .

# data[].attributes.body
SEE:  Very sunny at 10am

OBSERVE : -   Many dead leaves at
the shaded area and no groundcovers

RECOMMENDATION : - Use that area as a sitting area by putting a bench or sitting platform instead of planting anything .

# data[].attributes.body
AREA:  Relaxation area, Interactive area

REASON:    It is soft but rather resilient, easy to cut and nailed, easy to carve and shape, good heat insulator, poor Heat conductor.  Thus, it would be suitable to make foundation and roof of the gazebo.

# data[].attributes.body
Creeps on the frame could provide shade (add the sitting area)

Creepers on the rooftop of gazebo helps in reducing the temperature in gazebo.  > reduce in the use of fans > no material use to make fans & less electricity use > reduce pollution

Planting plants will help in the environment (more O2, less CO2.....)

Plants are known to improve both air and water quality by absorbing pollutants, intercepting particulates, releasing oxygen, reducing ozone levels and reducing soil erosion.

Outside the site:

There is a car park near the site, there may be some noise transmit to our site.

Planting more trees and shrubs around the edges of the site to “block” to reduce noise level.

Inside the site:

Relaxation area: We has arranged a gazebo for yoga.

People could do yoga with the surrounding of nature and exercising is also a good way of ‘Healing’.

They would not be affected by weather.

Solitary area : Some swings in semi-enclosed area.

Let visitors have a piece of silence.

Have individual spaces to rest and listen to the sound of nature.

Interactive area: Hanging pots.

Enables visitors to interact with the plants by touch and smell the plants.

Enables visitors to interact with one another when they are standing around the pots. Also, since the space around one pot is limited, there would not be too many people talking. Thus, the healing garden would still be peace and quiet.

Sensory garden: Walkthrough pathways and benches.

Enables visitors to have better view of the plants.

Provide a place to rest when needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Can hear sounds of nature .

Different aquatic plants used to act as a shelter from the sun for some of the aquatic animal living in the pond.

Supposed to be some barriers around the edge of the pond to avoid people from the water.

Recommend having a birdbath beside the pond  ,help people get close to biodiversity further on.

# data[].attributes.body
Flower petals on the ground help to enhance the virtual perception of the whole view.

Trees beside the bench are not able to provide shade for visitors as it was bald with only a few leaves as a lack of maintenance.

Too little vegetation or equipment.

Having some more variety of vegetation and even a bioswale as this may help about the drainage issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Surrounded by many plants and tree that can provide fresh air and silent space.

Bench was not appropriate to place on there because it might be very hot when afternoon

Consider placing the sheltered swing bench as it looks stylish and elegant. The user can spend some peaceful time alone or can read books at ease.

# data[].attributes.body
Shows an abundance of plant varieties

Light from nearby buildings cannot enter and hence it will be very dark at night

Adding some street lights at that area.

Place some bamboo wind chimes because it can provide calming sounds

# data[].attributes.body
A gazebo act as a focal point that makes any place appear more captivating.

Gazebos also do not require much maintenance.

Add a water fountain in the space as they act as a decor and have many benefits .

Bioswales are stormwater conveyance systems designed to remove silt and pollutants from surface runoff water. They consist of a swale drainage course with gently sloped sides and filled with vegetation, compost.

The path where the water flows, along with the wide and shallow ditch, is designed to maximize the time water spends in the swale, which aids in the trapping of pollutants and silt. These contaminants then decompose or can be broken down by the bacteria in the soil.

Plants are known to improve both air and water quality by absorbing pollutants, intercepting particulates, releasing oxygen, reducing ozone levels and reducing soil erosion.

Plants will make the place more beautiful.

Let people experience a sense of relief. This is especially important in a healing area.

AREA : Sensory garden, interactive area, relaxation area, solitary area

REASON:  It comes in an infinite variety of sizes, shapes, colours and textures, weather naturally and age gracefully.

AREA:     Solitary area

REASON: Tiles for water fountain wall and bottom as it is water resistant
