The Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park in Singapore, designed by studio Dreisett, is a remarkable example of sustainable and innovative urban park design. The park showcases a harmonious blend of landscape architecture, water management and ecological principles creating a multi-functional green space that serves both recreational and environmental purposes.

Studio Dreisetl's emphasis on water-sensitive design is evident throughout the park, with features such as bio-filtration swales, rain gardens and wetlands that help manage stormwater runoff to improve water quality.

The integration of sustainable technologies and green infrastructure in the park is commendable, providing valuable ecosystem services while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the space.

However, certain areas of the park may feel overly engineered and lacking in bio-diversity which may potentially impact the overall ecological balance of the park. Despite this, the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park stands as a successful model of sustainable urban park design that prioritizes environmental stewardship and community well-being.

Portland cement is the most common type used in concrete production. Aggregates : These are the solid materials that make up most of the concrete's volume. Aggregates include: Fine aggregates (such as sand) Coarse aggregates (such as gravel or crushed stone) Water : Reacts with the cement to form a chemical bond, creating the hardened material known as concrete. Admixtures (optional): Chemical agents added to alter the properties of the concrete, such as accelerating or slowing th...

COLOUR , plays an important role in the appreciation of our immediate and general environment and without it we would be lost, find our-selves devoid of the stimulation to our visual senses. So how does a human eye perceive colour?  First, a brief overview of how the human eyes work.   In order for us to see, light rays must be bent, or "refracted," so that they can reach the retina . Once the light reaches the retina, it's picked up by millions of "photoreceptors," or light-sensitive cells, called cones and rods. These cones and rods convert the light waves into information your brain can process, like colour , shape, and motion.(Levine,2017, Para.2). Basically, rods interpret light, and cones interpret colours . Animals that are truly colour-blind  completely lack cones, and animals that can only see during the day completely lack rods—but   these extremes are uncommon , and most animals have a combination of cones and rods. (Levine,2017, Para.3). A schematic ...
