Development Control 2022 Webinar

Synopsis

As we gradually move out of the shadow of the pandemic, we have already witnessed prompt responses from both international as well as local architectural community in the way they overcome some of the unique challenges posted by the pandemic with resiliency and future proofing.

Likewise, our codes and regulations have been developing fast in tandem of the times. One critical topic that attracted much attention within our fraternity and the industry was the new Land Betterment Charge(LBC) that took effect from 1 August 2022.

Join us to catch up on these developments as we began the new normal in our practice.

Topics:

#1: The New Land Betterment Charge by Mr. Chia Pei Wei

The speaker will share about the new LBC, key changes from the old DC/DP regime and the key steps in the new workflow

#2: Design For Resiliency In A Pandemic by Ar. Ivy Koh

As we enter into a Covid-19 post-pandemic endemic era, we need to define new norms and patterns. Urban planners are challenged to invent new spatial typologies and imagine new products and services that support these environments – with the goal of elevating the human experience.

During the pandemic, Connect@Changi (C@C) at the Singapore Expo functioned as a purpose-built facility to meet Singapore’s changing needs and health protocols. Designed and constructed within 14 weeks, it was transformed into the world’s first business travel exchange, quarantine-free bubble facility – featuring meeting rooms with dedicated ventilation systems to prevent cross contamination. A mere five-minute drive from Singapore’s Changi Airport, C@C offers an integrated ‘test-stay-work-meet’ experience for inbound business travellers. The principle of adaptive reuse and modification of space was adopted when the situation evolved, and C@C was later converted into a Community Care & Treatment Facility, providing seamless healthcare services for children and elderly patients.

#3 Healthcare Design for Everyday Spaces by Ar. Joanne Gay

Our experience of the pandemic has brought greater awareness and need for our living environment to support health and wellbeing for a more resilient society, which requires an understanding of infection control, future-proofing and technology. This sharing will draw upon lessons and strategies formulated for Healthcare Design, sieving out transferable solutions that can be cross-applied in typologies such as Residences and Offices as well as back-of-house logistic spaces.
