The design of Star
City is centered on people and attempts to emphasize the
closeness between human beings and the natural
environment. It also highlights the importance of
privacy to the internal environment. It utilizes the
following to create spatial richness in the design.
First, a line, is formed
from the N.E corner to the S.W corner, which perfectly
fits into the direction of the main view of the land, A
visual aisle is placed on this line. The big oasis
shaped by this aisle forms the public playground for all
the residents. The view, with this basic theme, enriches
the concept of environment design.
Second, 17 clusters are
formed within the residential area; each by 6 to 11
residential buildings. With the elegant decoration of
the entrance and the separation of noisy and quiet area,
a quasi-private space is formed. We call this the small
oasis, which will be used mainly by the residents within
this cluster, and has its own main entrance. Vehicles
are prohibited from entering this closed cluster. This
environment will benefit people's communication and
increase the sense of safety. It also encourages better
management.
The small and big oases
are the spirit of this design, materialized by small and
big circles. Walking paths link the small and big oases,
and the residents will be able to enjoy this green,
fresh environment safely and comfortably. The big oasis
has the quiet area especially designed for the elderly
and the noisy area for kids and youths. Within the
center of the oasis, a central club is built to serve
all the residents.
