11 Critical thinking of cycling lanes in Sydney

The cycling lane has been constructed in Sydney for many years. Some lanes are still being constructed. The cycling lanes are funded by the Sydney City Council but will be constructed by contractors managed by RMS. The construction of bicycle lanes is part of the City Center Access Strategy of the NSW Government
 
The cycling line projects have a slow process and are not connected, which are not convenient for riders. In another word, this is cannot encourage sustainable transportation as well. Because of the unconnected of lanes, bicycles are easy to drive with pedestrians or motor vehicles, which is very dangerous. Another negative situation of cycling line in Sydney is that many vehicles parking on the cycling line, especially in the residential area, which makes bike riders rider on the motorized lane. Therefore, comparing with the Bicycle path is not perfect, lanes management is more important than construction. In my opinion, make the traffic more legally is the first priority.

4 Case Study of Singapore PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel

图片
Case Study of PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel is a green building with green mark certification in Singapore City, which earned BCA Green Mark Platinum Award (Awarded 2012) and Solar Pioneer Award (Awarded 2011). This hotel located in the Chinatown at the gateway to Singapore’s Central Business District. The most unique feature is large of the area of tropical plants on the building’s balcony. Palm trees, flowering plants, shrubs and shady trees are planted outside the hotel. This green building method could absorb more carbon dioxide and decrease the heat radiation from the sun to cooling the indoor air automatically as a passive design. In addition, these plants also could form the light route naturally. Quoting the words form Lee Kin Seng, the hotel’s Director of Marketing Communications, “bring lush greenery into the guest rooms and internal spaces, enhancing the quality of life and reinforcing Singapore’s tropical image.” This design is both ...

22 Case study of World Trade Centre Bahrain 2

图片
World Trade Centre Bahrain has an amazing design which is the wind turbines. The generator windmill has a rotor speed of 38 revolutions per minute at full load and is powered by a series of gearboxes placed in the engine compartment to run the generator at 1,500 revolutions per minute. The optimal power generation design is approximately 225 kW at a wind speed of 15-20 m/s. Moreover, the fan rotor has a diameter of 29 meters and is made of 50 layers of glass fibre. When the wind is strong or needs to be transferred to a standstill state, the top of the fins will be pushed outwards, increasing the total torque of the rotor and achieving the purpose of deceleration. To protect the building from the natural disasters. The maximum wind speed that the wind turbine can withstand is 80 meters per second, which means it can withstand Class 4 hurricanes.   There are some really difficult challenges when this building is building. The first challenge is the design of wind turbine impel...
