Rough+Work

Back to Arcology Home Page Thanks...

I removed it :) Joelle: Could you please remove the empty table from recycling section because I tried but I couldn't. Thanks @Armin and Ramin- can u update the new land size that u calculated in the intro and in the energy section please. thanks

Looks Good Thanks:)

Joelle: I have uploaded the diagram in the introduction of our project, the one you asked me to draw on Visio, please have a look on that and let me know if it needs further changing.

Amerta

I have just uploaded one of the parts of project into the main body page. Still I got to do more work on it. I couldn't figure out the power utilization and number of man power for each recycling plant, also I was wondering that we might want to install couple of only those manufacturing industries in which the inputs are recycled material such as : Recycled paper, plastic, metal, and glass. I have done simulation for manufacturing companies on Arena software which is just the animation of workers working at each station. I couldn't upload its video on the web due to its size, however I will show you during our meeting today so that you may have a look on it and please recommend me that do we need to include that simulation in our project?Also please let me know if anything is missing in Recycling.

I'm working on the intro stuff- joelle

Should we place our island somewhere south of canada? cause it was second highest in our decision matrix. We probably have to pick an actual existing island to put our city right?

Here are the new, in depth, Energy resources and Essential natural resource. We would do its referencing section soon. Armin and Ramin Energy resources and Essential Natural resources Agriculture.docx

Here are the explanation for weighted decision matrix tables, I have done very small changes on the table we had to be more convincing: Armin and Ramin Table 1 and 2-Weighted Decision Matrix.docx Table 1 and 2 explanation.docx

Residential Structures 2.docx--- 2nd draft of residential stuff

-not in school but I'll probably be there around 6 cause I have a 6:30pm class-joelle

==Hi is there anyone school, anyway I just spoke to the prof about my model, he said its ok if we group the buildings together. Trying to get the layout down might be a bit confusing, we should need as soon as we can. If anyone is in school please kettle me know. -Daniel ==Wow that's allot of info to work out a floor plan for all of these especially the locations an connections. well I'll keep trying to figure it out.== -Daniel

==**Daniel:** I have done estimations for number of schools according to students' population, please let me know if anything is wrong in following Estimation.==

Amert**a** **Education System in Island City**
** Student Population Estimation ** 84000 People in Families 7% =5880 (Pre-Primary school age≤5) 16%= 13440 (6-14) 24% = 20,160 (15-24)   · 43% (15-18) of 20,160 = 8669 · 57%(18-24) of 20,160 = 11491

** Estimated Number of Schools and Universities according to Students Population **

 * **Type of School** || **How Many** || **Average number of Students in each School** ||
 * Elementary schools || 5 || 500 ||
 * Middle schools || 9 || 650 ||
 * High Schools || 12 || 700 ||
 * The University of (Island) comprises number of campuses and spread across || 2 || 2750 ||
 * Colleges || 3 || 2000 ||

@Joelle, i don't think we need to meet on Thursday. If we have to meet, I rather we meet in weekend so everyone can finish their parts but that's just my opinion. Armin

BTW. are we meeting tomorrow?

Amerta- We need to have a few elementary, middle school and high schools. then maybe a university and a college. You can assume the number of schools we need based on the estimates of population I made b//elow. Once you make the estimates for the schools please let Daniel know.He would need the numbers//

Armin - Ok, you have a point we'll keep it as is then.:)

60% families = 84,000 people Assuming average family members of 5, there will be 16,800 families - Please allot 11,760 Lots (single detached type) for 70% of the families and 504 Lots for 30% of the families that will be living in the apartment-like structures I would make 10% couples = 14,000 people = 7,000 couples Please allot 1400 lots (single-detached type) for 20% of the couples and 560 lots for the 80% of the couples who would like to live in the apartment-like structures 20% Singles = 28,000 people Assuming 40 singles per structure - please allot 560 Lots of apartment like structures 10% Elderly = 14,000 people Assuming an average of 100 elderly per structure - please allot 1400 Lots of senior home- like structure 7 resorts as well for vacation and for tourists.
 * Daniel**- Based on the population we have 140,000, Here's the assumptions I made for residential structures:
 * Please also put 20 beach houses on one of the beach fronts that we'll allot for rich people and for rental on vacations.**

--> ---We also need 1 small airport, 1 pier for people transportation and 1 pier for goods transportation
 * let me know if I got you confused lol.

Hi Everyone. I was doing simulation for manufacturing process because I was wondering we might want to add few manufacturing industries other than those recycling industries.. I am done with all simulation and few calculations about cost, resource utilization etc, only the thing I wanted to know what kind of manufacturing industries do we need to install in our city and how many? But If you think it is not necessary to install any manufacturing industries in the city then we can use that animated simulation for recycling industries too. Are we also going to add Hospitals, schools, university and food stores such as Tim Hortons or Starbucks etc? If yes could you please suggest me that should I also do the simulation for food stores? Amerta

Hi does anyone have the number of buildings and for what purpose, it will take me a while to get the structures and especially the road connections between them without all that information -Daniel

@ Joelle, I don't see why we can't justify it. It is our decision to make and if we want to go with that population, no one can oppose it. Also I think if we decide to have all the Energy Sources in the our island, it would take most of space that we have. If we have unused space we can dedicate that space for future population. But if you really feel that way, we can change it. Also me and Ramin would take care of that paragraph but I want to have that paragraph right after the Decision Matrix. Armin

Energy resources and Essential Natural resources Agriculture- edited.docx

-I edited a couple of spelling errors on the "Energy Sources" file. I also have a few suggestions to add for that. Can you put the Values you provided in the table for 75000 people? Also, it would be nice if we could add a paragraph at the beginning explaining in words why we are writing about Solar, Wind and Tidal energy. Thanks

Haven't done industrial ecology yet. So go ahead. I was thinking about our population, Our land area is quite big and our initial population is quite small. I understand that it's just an initial population but I was thinking of how can we justify that number? What do you think? -Joelle

hey everyone, I'm not sure if anyone has done this before or not but I'm working of the industrial ecology. If you are working on this let me know. thank you

Armin Jamshidi

Here are the modified "Energy Sources" and "Natural Resources/ Agriculture" parts: Energy resources and Essential Natural resources Agriculture.docx



Concept Map Draft -CMAP Tools I was playing with CMAP and I came up with a simple map. Try it to and see what we get in the end.

Here's an initial file for the residential structures. More to come later on with diagrams and pictures Residential Structures.docx

Here is just a little on what I have been working on. I couldn't find the sims city, so I decided to use Cities XL, which produced many complexities that would require us all to make agreements. any way I stated using AutoCAD to try and come up with a little model which I have included in the word file. LayoutZoning.docx Still need to work on the road network, transit systems and a more organised layout. The attached file is one of the sub-topics of our project, i.e "Recycling". Recycling (Arcology).docx

Table 1 Weighted Decision Matrix for Choice of Location for the City.docx

The link below shows an AIR CITY, please have a look because we might want to add it in our design matrix. Thanks

Possible ways we could divide aspects of our project:
 * Structural design of the buildings/houses: Joelle
 * Overall layout of the city:Joelle, Daniel
 * Systems Design: Transportation, Industries, Health care, Employment, etc.: Daniel
 * Energy Source: Armin, Ramin
 * Natural Resources/ Agriculture: Armin, Ramin
 * Recycling: Amerta

BRAINSTORMING __Headings:__ Energy: Recycling: Sewage: Transportation: Housing: Commercial Buildings: Natural Resources: __Ideas:__(Please add new ideas, including the ones I missed from the Professor)
 * Replaceable Apartments (Unit Apartments)
 * Structures, including buildings, built with ease in replacement or repair
 * Expandable or fixed population size

Location Possibilities:
 * Desert Areas
 * Canada (Lots of empty land)
 * Places that has been attacked by natural calamities (Australia, New Orleans, Haiti....etc..)
 * In the Ocean?
 * In a private island?
 * In space?

Herer is another one that I looked at. It is named Venus Project.

Here's another link: []

-I'm hoping we can design something 2012-proof lol.. -Maybe something that can withstand all or as many calamities as we can.

Check out these two designs :

Ø Masdar city, Abu Dhabi : [] []

Ø Crystal Island, Moscow: []

Maybe we could start listing our Problem Statement, like what we want our city to do, to have, etc... Also, I was just wondering if any of us can draw well using CAD or whatever? It would be cool if we have visuals like the above examples.
