People have to live in that city, that does not have issues of nowdays cities such as bad ecology, excessive usage of electricity and water, lack of space etc. Project tasks are helping students to understand basic planing of the city, building princips of green cities and how to trasfer all knowledges to something touchable. Also, students will get skills of making deep research. The Project tasks are related to the subject because students



will understand more about environmental sustainability and buildings fundamentals.

2. The Better City. City Investigation on Better City Guidelines and Issues

3. Investigation & Data Collection:



Ancient City. Zhujiajiao. China

Zhujiajiao - an ancient water town, located in Shanghai. It was established about 1,700 years ago. Archaeological findings dating back 5,000 years have also been found. 36 stone bridges and numerous rivers line and many ancient buildings still line the riverbanks today.

Production of Zhujiajiao was mainly focused on the production of rice and cloth. Today, old historical buildings such as rice shops, banks, spice stores and even a Qing dynasty post office can still be found.

Development of the city for those times is startling. The city had an excellent transport system. There was water ways for boats. Developed production, cultural and religious places such as Ke Zhi Yuan (Course Plant Garden) It located in the northern part of town. It consists of three parts, including a hall area, an artificial hill area and a garden area. In the artificial hill area, there is magnificent symbolic architecture - a foursquare five-story building, on the top of which stands a diametric pavilion named 'Moon View Pavilion.

The city was able to survive untill our time. It was able to sustain by itself. What can I use to future city?



• Planting plants that need big quantity of water ( for example: rise) since the MDome has water resourses enough

• Using boats as ecological transport

4. Investigation & Data Collection:



Present City. Venice, Italy

Venice was built on the lagoon of 122 islands (according to other sources - 118), connected by 400 bridges. This is a city-monument founded approximately in V. BC. e.

Most Venetian streets channels so narrow that the walls of the houses opposite can easily be reached by arms, while the buildings themselves usually consist of 7 floors. Сanals almost do not have shores, it looks like houses "grow" out of the water. Foundation of the city: Spile + special soil composition. In the first phase of construction was established dam, which delimit the space of land and water, only then hammered piles treated with special resins. Production of Venice had been focused on textile industry glass and beads (starting from the 13th century). Venice is rather a historical and cultural tourist center, namely tourism and resort business of its residents provide their welfare

Transport: Waterbuses, gondola



Venice is a result of the development of mankind, not only economically, but also culturally. Venice wasnot only able to survive , means to provide itself with the necessary resources, but also to develop themselves in aesthetically.

What can I use for future city ?- If I need to accomodate more people and have more space , it is better

to build high-rise houses- Also I can use air as the way of transportation and security- The apartments need to be used new technologies to have more space



6. Case study on the selected type of the future city
