This is the final project of ENBE, which involves the built environment. In groups of 4 (or 5), students would have to propose a new sustainable future city and build a model of the city. There are two parts in this project, the first part is an individual task, where students would have to propose their own city and produce a report and a video presentation. The second part of the project is a group task, where students would choose one city among the group members to make a model of the city along with presentation board, to be presented on the exhibition booth day.
Part One - Individual Task: Report and Video Presentation
The first part of this project students are required to propose our own city. But before we can propose a city, we had to choose one situation for the city to grow. There are five choices, that are underground city, underwater city, floating on water city, a city in the air, city on land next to the river, and our group had chosen floating on water city, so the whole group would have to plan a city floating on water. My city is called West Waves City, because it is situated on the west sea of Malaysia. There are a few factors set when proposing the city:
1. The city is smaller than 40 kilometres squares.
2. The population is in between 150,000 to 300,000.
3. The people of the city are Malaysians.
4. The shape and structure of city
5. Zoning of the city
6. Transportation and Networking
Report
Video Presentation
Part Two - Group Task: Model Presentation
In our group, Shirley's model had been chosen, it is called the Zelos City. It is shaped as an octagon. It fully utilise solar energy as it has large triangular solar panels above most buildings. This is because on the sea, sunlight would reflect everywhere, and with that, the solar energy can be reflected to the solar panels easily. Other than that, Zelos City also utilises the wave energy through a waves chamber.

Reflection:
From this project, I learned that building a city requires a lot of researches and considerations. I also learned to find for the right type of information that can be compiled into an informative piece. Through this project I had researched a lot for building a city and the elements in a city, to realized that sometimes, trying to combine the right information together is as important conveying the information correctly.
