 Overview |
|
|
We propose station as a solution to major problems of Yangon, traffic
problems, inadequacies of disaster countermeasures, power shortage. The station
we propose here is not only a facility to serve as a base for carrying people,
but also a building to which people, things are supplied. Also, in order to
design them with multiple people, we will clarify the design procedure and
establish a platform to be the basis. By creating a platform, we will make it as
a point of design by the team. Furthermore, we will design with consideration on
how it is used after construction.

| ■Comment by Prof. Yasushi Ikeda, Chief of VDWC Executive Committee
The theme of this year Yangon, Myanmar, made the participants sharply conscious
of issues that are common for large cities in Asian developing countries
such as traffic issue, energy issue, and countermeasure to disasters. I
think that it could have raised the awareness of the participants in linking
BIM and VR technologies to the sustainable development from a global perspective.
I could clearly see this consciousness on every awarded work, and what
decided the winner was their skill to use technologies in addition to their
design concept. The flow of creating a work not on paper but in VR seems
to be rooted to some extent, and each nominated work was consciously created
to look better than the exterior perspective view of its still image. For
example, one team showed the work from macro scale to details as a consecutive
design issue, and another team expressed a realistic experience that has
time flow by using walk through and fly through well.
However, one of the advantages of a proposal with digital data is that
we can comprehensively design various study items after accurately predicting
the situation of real usage. The works won the World Cup Award and the
Excellence Award were much superior than other works in terms of this point.
Both teams reflected analysis results obtained by several simulations on
the design of their works. Every work will be more persuasive if differences
of effects in alleviation of traffic jam and evacuation guidance are shown
by comparing multiple designs and scenarios, since simulation is a scientific
proof. I think that the participants considered these factors during their
designing. However, not only the final proposal but how they find a solution
by using a variety of BIM tools are the point to be evaluated in this competition.
It is because that it can be an important evidence insisting the validity
of the work beyond language and culture.
It was hard to choose the winner from the top two works, and actually,
both teams were the applicants from the same university. This university
ranked high as last year and showed the ability of the competitive school,
and it resulted in raising the level of the competition. As pointed out
above, however, there are still many possibilities in designing with BIM
and VR technology. We look forward seeing works competitive with this high
level of works next year.

This is an international design competition for students
to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative
architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR
technologies.
Every year students compete for the top prize
which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined
theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and
creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme
and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented
to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry
out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will
make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect
a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating
various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum (3D cloud BBS). The
script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster"
(A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission
and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment".
We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all
means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your masterpiece.
We encourage students from different departments majoring in different
field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to demonstrate
that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline.

Theme2017
"Yangon -Aiming for an ideal and sustainable Asian city" |
Since 2011 when democratic transition began following the official dissolution
of military dictatorship and the release of economic sanction from the
West, Myanmar has been making significant changes. Yangon, though stripped
of its “capital city” status in 2006 for Naypyidaw to take over, still
reigns as Myanmar’s economic capital with the country’s biggest population
at 7,360,000, promises a high economic growth rate as “Asia’s last frontier”,
and rapid increase in the number of road vehicles and cell phone carriers
now close to the entire population marks the beginning of the city’s ascent
to economic stardom. However, many issues are arising as by-products of
exponential economic development that the country has not been able to
clean up.
The first is traffic problem. It goes without saying that congestion and road conditions are becoming worse every year and lack of awareness for traffic rules such as traffic lights and pedestrian’s right of way to cross a street makes the situation even worse, causing an increase in traffic accident fatalities, a serious concern. Parallel parking seen all too often on roads of Yangon where there are limited number of parking lots in buildings, and the fact that the country still follows right-hand traffic even though more than 90% of cars in the country now are used cars from Japan with steering wheel placed on the right side are causing traffic problem in the first place. The second problem is in disaster management. Situated in the delta region, Yangon is subjected to frequent flood during rainy season, consequently causing health issues, and this is due in no small part to the lack of drainage systems that we should see more of given the speed of infrastructure development apparent in the city today. The third problem is lack of electricity. As in the case of flood drainage systems, the demand for power too now far outweighs its supply causing power outages almost every day. This unstable power supply is obviously hindering economic activities, and is standing between the city and economic stardom.
All these issues originate from the abrupt change in the society. But if we look on the bright side, slow economic growth before democracy due to suppression of Yangon’s economic activities has contributed to the preservation of much of its environment and ecosystems including rich forests and lakes, and historic architectures built during colonial period, when it earned its name “the garden city”. If these resources are secured and used intelligently in urban development, the city will become one of the most attractive cities in Asia. More importantly, the good nature of people in a relatively peaceful Myanmar with a vibrant mix of many different ethnic groups, among them those with strong Buddhist virtues, will no doubt become the driving force of urban development.
The target site of this year’s VDWC comprises important urban elements
such as heavily congested arterial roads, downtown area that flourished
in the colonial period, central station, parks, and lakes. This region
is typically the area within Yangon where the above-mentioned issues and
potential for exponential growth co-exist and are most apparent. Comprehensive
and practical design solutions for these complex issues that drive unprecedented
growth of Yangon must be effectively simulated and persuasively presented
with innovative VR and simulation technology. Needless to say, these issues
are never neglected in reality as master plan for changes led by the government
is being updated and released every now and then. For instance, a height
restriction on buildings and infrastructures to keep the clear view of
Shwedagon Pagoda, the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar respected
by many reverent Buddhist disciples in the city, must be considered for
the citizens. A proposal that effectively incorporates these considerations
in the existing master plan, and demonstrates the kind of urban development
feasible by the Yangon especially because it’s “Asia’s last frontier” with
a potential of turning the city into a sustainable model Asian city by
making most use of different types of provided software using methodologies
supported by data, are expected.
