Dear madam, attached herewith my progress for my proposal.
1. Included precedent study of IMAS institute for the relation of programmes and concept.
2. Updated SOA (reduced amount of classrooms and increased number of practical labs, in reference to precedent. Added breakout space, open concept classes and flexible staff office.
3. Included spatial relationship diagram to study the intended flow and relationship of spaces.
4. Schematic massing study and some conceptual ideas.
5. Schematic section to study on the vertical relationship between the different spaces.
6. Ground floor are made as permeable as possible by placing public gathering places and aquaculture programmes to attract local's attention. Formal education programmes are placed on upper floors as well as labs for researchers to do aquaculture studies.

As cited by Balden, ''the components that make for the greatness of a small town are a “cadre of dedicated citizens with creative ideas and the energy to implement them; a progressive government willing to meet them halfway; opportunities to get close to nature; arts and cultural programs to feed the soul; a desire to meet the challenge of transitioning to renewable energy.”

1. understand the place, its problems and potentials and define approaches and solutions to revitalise the historic centre

2. Develop participatory initiatives to share the raise awareness of abandoned places as well as to foster new solutions by reconnecting the dialogue between the often separated parties

Putting Smart Growth to Work in Rural Communities

The report discusses about the challenges faced by many rural communities and small towns such as rapid growth at metropolitan edges, declining rural population, and loss of working lands. It highlights the strategies implemented by US government to help with the revival of small towns while maintaining their rural quality of life and character.

Strategies for helping existing places thrive

·         Agricultural, ranching, or forestry zoning

In agricultural, ranching, or forestry zoning, primary industry uses are allowed, but other uses, including residential development, are prohibited or very restricted.

·         Street and streetscape improvements

(Ensuring that streets support multiple modes of transportation, including walking, cycling, and transit, can enhance town centers by making them more accessible to all populations while also limiting or slowing automobile traffic.)

·         Adaptive reuse

(Reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing the old and then building anew preserves historically important buildings and conserves energy and resources)

·         Distinctive local character

(great new places reflect the cultural character of the region. Articulating what makes nearby places distinctive and attractive helps ensure that new development reflects these important features and supports the region surrounding it)

·         Create walkable communities.

New neighborhoods that have a grid-like street network equipped with sidewalks and bike lanes encourage residents to walk or bicycle to their destinations.

·         Parks and open space

Planning parks and open space into the design of new places is important for a variety of reasons. Parks are not only essential community amenities but also provide important economic, ecological, and public

health benefits.

·         Context-sensitive design

Context-sensitive street design links roadway planning and design to adjacent land uses and neighborhood type.

In general, the report provides a comprehensive framework for revival of small towns without jeopardising their rural quality of life and character.
