The large-scale generation of clean, renewable energy from the
oceans tides has moved one step closer with the news that the
Chinese National Energy Administration has commissioned an economic
assessment into the viability of building a Dynamic Tidal Power
(DTP) facility off the east coast of China. The potential facility
would involve the construction of a dam stretching 60-100 km
perpendicular to the Chinese coast between Xiamen and Shantou, and
in the entrance to the Bohai Sea. The dam would capture power from
the tide through a network of 4,000 turbines that would generate up
to 15 gigawatts of energy. This is the equivalent of six large coal
or gas power stations and would provide energy for more than ten
million homes.
A consortium of eight Dutch companies, including ARCADIS, is
leading the development of this new, patented technology with the
Chinese Government, known as the POWER
Programme. Following a series of feasibility projects over the
past three years which have demonstrated the proof of the principle
and assessed potential locations, the current economic assessment
will look at the design and construction costs which are estimated
to be in the region of US$40 billion. In addition to China, a
number of other coastal locations around the world have been
identified as having potential for dynamic tidal power. These
include the Korean Peninsula and in the North Sea off the coast of
the UK and Northern Europe. The Chinese economic assessment is
expected to be completed by the end of 2014. If successful, the
next stage is the testing and final design with the project
potentially being completed by 2020. More information at:
www.powerdtp.nl, or: www.arcadis.com.
Generation of tidal energy in China edges closer
In 2007, Citi set a landmark goal to direct $50 billion over 10
years to activities that mitigate climate change. The scope of this
initiative includes internal operational projects as well as
financing for alternative energy, energy efficiency, investments in
clean technology, and lending for green affordable housing and
other community assets. On 23 April Citi announced that they have
reached this goal three years early, directing $53.85 billion to
these initiatives through the end of the year.
Citi Director of Corporate Sustainability, Bruce Schlein, said:
The reaching of the $50 billion goal is something we can all be
proud, and especially the numerous teams and individuals at Citi
who contributed. While we're very proud of what we've accomplished,
we know there is still much more to be done. We are now preparing
to establish a new environmental finance target, which would
include climate mitigation activities as well as other financing to
support the environment and help communities and cities adapt to
our changing climate.

In May, the Associated Press reported that, three years ago the
operators of one of the nation's dirtiest coal-fired power plants
warned of "immediate and devastating" consequences from the Obama
administration's push to clean up pollution from coal. Faced with
cutting sulphur dioxide pollution by 80% in less than a year,
lawyers for EME Homer City Generation L.P. sued the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to block the rule, saying it would cause it
grave harm and bring a painful spike in electricity bills. But,
none of those dire predictions came to pass. Instead, the massive
western Pennsylvania power plant is expected in a few years to turn
from one of the worst polluters in the country to a model for how
coal-fired power plants can slash pollution.
For more than 40 years, Homer City has spewed sulphur dioxide
from two of its three units completely unchecked, and still does
because it is largely exempt from federal air pollution laws passed
years after it was built in 1969. Last year, the facility released
114,245 tons of sulphur dioxide, more than all of the power plants
in neighbouring New York combined. The owners of the power plant
have committed to install $750 million worth of pollution control
equipment by 2016 that will make deeper cuts in sulphur than the
rule it once opposed. The EPA estimates that about 30% of the
coal-fired units in the U.S. are operating without scrubbers,
pollution control equipment to control not only for sulphur
dioxide, but also mercury, a toxic metal that will be controlled
for the first time from power plants next year.

Atkins has completed a plan for the Dongliang River restoration
and landscape design which creates a new ecological leisure
destination in Chongqing, China and mitigates existing
environmental risks such as flooding and poor water quality.
Chongqing has 29 million inhabitants and it is hoped the enhanced
river landscape will also encourage new waves of tourists that will
help bring growth and regenerate the surrounding district. It is
one of the first projects in China initiated to tackle the major
urban problem of water contamination and ecology civilisation which
is gaining increasing political and social importance both at the
city and Central government level. Dr Yufeng Guo, Atkins director
for water engineering in China, said: Development of the Chongqing
area meant that the city needed a design strategy for dealing with
flood and poor water quality issues affecting the central Dongliang
river. This was a heavy engineering task but it had to be handled
sensitively as our other prime directive was to ensure the waterway
evolved into an attractive urban feature. The scheme will include
support facilities for activities such as water sports, fishing and
rock climbing. We also aim to establish a cultural waterfront
development and a visitor centre along the riparian landscape,
ensuring the whole area is walkable and cycle-friendly.
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts continues its assertive global
expansion with the announcement of Rosewood Guangzhou scheduled to
open in 2017. Rosewood Guangzhou guests will have an eagles eye
view of the metropolis with the hotel occupying the top 16 floors
and podium of the 530m Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre currently
under
development. This will be Guangzhous tallest building, amongst
the 10 highest in the world, and is expected to have the fastest
high-speed elevators in the world at 20 metres per second. The
ultra-luxury hotel will feature 251 guestrooms at a minimum size of
55m2 and 355 Rosewood Residences, 23 of which will be duplex
apartments. Rosewood Guangzhou will offer seven food and beverage
venues, and open-air dining and entertainment spaces will abound.
Of the nine private dining rooms in the Chinese restaurant, three
will be free-standing outdoor garden villas. On the 107th floor, a
contemporary, cosmopolitan restaurant and a sky bar with cigar
humidor area and fully equipped wine corner and cellar, will
incorporate both indoor and outdoor space. The bar will have the
distinction of being the highest situated bar in mainland
China.

Benoy has unveiled the design for Taiwan High Speed Rails (THSR)
Hsin Chu Station Mall. Presented at the recent contract signing for
the scheme, the practice revealed a green architectural design that
melds into the landscape of the site. THSR appointed Benoy to
conceive a low density retail project which would also deliver a
green environment to benefit the community of Hsin Chu and
surrounding residential developments. Following the current trend
to create more diverse and vibrant transportation hubs, the
development will be built on a 30,000m2 site directly connected to
the Hsin Chu High Speed Rail Station.
Benoys design has prominently featured environmentally-friendly
initiatives to support THSRs green vision. Sustainable building
materials, sun shading, green roof insulation, rain
water collection, grey water recycling and solar power have all
been integrated into the design. The North-East angled plots act to
mitigate the windy climate and the landscape will be drawn up to
the roof of the low-rise retail buildings to create
multi-functional green spaces. The three-dimensional retail
experience has preserved a large portion of the landscape for the
users. The green slope design will be accessible from ground level
and transformed into outlets for dining, restaurants and
entertainment. The landscaped scheme will also feature an
amphitheater and eight cinema houses alongside the retail
offer.

May 2014 was a month of celebration at Pomeroy Studio as the
practice won a number of green accolades, including the Singapore
Building and Construction Authoritys [BCA] Green Mark Platinum
Award for B house the first operational carbon negative landed
property in Singapore, which is scheduled to commence construction
imminently. The B House, led by Jason Pomeroy and supported by
Associate Principal Yoshi Shimada, is a house that pushes the
envelope of passive green design to optimize natural light and
ventilation and drastically reduces energy and water consumption to
the point of being almost zero carbon. But the installation of PV
cells to the roof, equating to under 1.5% of the building budget,
makes it carbon negative generating more energy than the house
occupants can consume. Despite its far-reaching green design, the
house is the same cost of average landed bungalows in the
vicinity.
At the BCA ceremony on 22 May, Pomeroy Studios Sustainability
Consultant, Deepshi Bhogal, said: Were delighted to see B House
receive the recognition it deserves in order to demonstrate to
developers and designers that the key to zero carbon design is a
return to passive design with optimized environmental
performance.
Pomeroy Studio scoops green design awards
Luxury hotel The Royal Garden is located in Kowloon, an urban
district with one of the highest densities of population of the
world. This 5-star hotel is surrounded by narrow streets crowded
with people and traffic. This environment presented a great
challenge for the company Teamfield Building Contractors,
responsible for the extension works of the hotel, which will grow
from the current 12 floors to 15 floors by the end of 2014. Due to
the requirements of the project, it was necessary to have a tower
crane on the roof, but the height of the building and the narrow
streets surrounding the hotel were quite an impediment to erect it.
The 10CJ140 tower crane from Linden Comansa, was the obvious
choice. Its modular and lightweight sections and components ensured
a quick and easy erection, and by its technical features (maximum
load of 8 tons), the crane was the ideal for the work on the roof.
Proficiency Equipment Operation Manager, Paul HH Hung, said:
"Teamwork between all stakeholders has been fundamental to come up
with the best solution. In addition, we have had to negotiate with
the authorities and managed a very tight plan. The experience has
been a little stressful but very satisfactory for all parties".

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) held its
sixth Hong Kong annual conference in May. With the theme of
Integration: Where Do the Opportunities Lie?. Renowned
international and local speakers came together to discuss the
importance of integration in the development of Hong Kong, with a
particular focus on integration with neighbouring regions and the
role Hong Kong will play. Director of Property of The Hong Kong
Jockey Club, Michael J Moir, said: Integration of Hong Kong and the
rest of the Pearl River Delta has always been inevitable, largely
as a result of the regions geography. Further integration can
create opportunities for businesses in Hong Kong to acquire land
for growth in ways previously not possible. Ultimately, Hong Kongs
relationship with neighbouring cities such as Guangzhou can
certainly be a complementary one. Chairman of RICS Hong Kong, Dr
Daniel Ho, said: "Urban Development in Hong Kong is very important
to Hong Kong's international image as a city and Hong Kongs
competitiveness. As an international city, Hong Kong should focus
on integration with our neighbours while keeping an international
perspective. Taking our limited resources into consideration, we
should also consider how to create opportunities through
cooperation with neighbouring cities as this regional integration
occurs.

Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet has choosen BIG to
expand its historic headquarters. The 2.400m2 pavilion will be a
striking landmark to precision seamlessly integrated into the local
landscape - reuniting the buildings with the undulating fields of
the valley. BIG created an intertwined spiral shaped pavilion which
is conceived as a storyline for the visitors; blending old and new
and guiding the visitor through a linear sequence of spaces and
events, from the entrance through lounges, galleries and workshops,
to the attic of the heritage building in the workshop where it all
began. BIG Founding Partner, Bjarke Ingels, said: Watchmaking, like
architecture is the art and science of invigorating inanimate
matter with intelligence and performance. It is the art of imbuing
metals and minerals with energy, movement, intelligence and
measure; to bring it to life in the form of telling time. Unlike
most machines and most buildings today that have a disconnect
between the body and the mind, the hardware and the software, for
the Maison des Fondateurs we have attempted to completely integrate
the geometry and the performance, the form and the function, the
space and the structure, the interior and the exterior in a
symbiotic hole.

The Wanda Group commissioned Make Architects to design the
unique facade for the recently opened Wanda Reign Hotel in Wuhan,
the most populous city in central China and a major transportation
hub. The design of the luxury hotel facade is characterised by a
compilation of 902 hexagonal modules which create the effect of
multiple windows as eyes' looking out over the city from the guest
rooms. Each hexagonal module is composed of highly reflective
aluminium and angled in both plan and section to protect the rooms
from solar gain and create a dynamic texture on the surface of the
