    Plan 2 - Administration and Sales Area

    The Sun Cone is running from the Hawkers Market roof down through into

    the Administration Area. Sunlight is thus provided into this area. Reflective

    copper panels are welded surrounding the column system, reflecting sunlight

    into different directions. These copper panels intentionally create different

    shadow in the interior.

    At night, lighting in the column system luminates, creating totally different

    atomsphere from daytime.

    The principle of the treatment of sewage by Reed Beds is relatively simple.

    The Common Reed ( Phragmites Australis.) has the ability to transfer oxygen from its leaves, down through its stem, porous speta and rhizomes, and out via its rootsystem into the rhizosphere ( root system.)As a result of this action, a very high population of micro-organisms occurs in the rhizosphere, with zones of aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic conditions.

    Therefore with the waste water moving very slowly and carefully through the mass of Reed roots, this liquid can be successfully treated, in a manner somewhat similar to conventional biological filter bed systems of sewage treatment. Earlier Reed Bed Sewage Treatment systems, used the horizontal flow type of reed bed,where the liquid flows horizontally through the bed.

    One factor hesitating people to participate in park activity is storage. Imagine someone lives 10 min away from the park. For each time planting, he needs to carry tools and materials from home topark, which is exhausting.

    In order to persuade people planting their ownfruitages in the park, a storage area is set up.These storages are lent to participants to storetheir gardening tools, fertilizers, cultivated soil etc. Remaining storages are free to lend to residents living in that area.

    Park LevelPlanting slots are installed in the rejuvenation strip.They are free to lend to any interested residents living in that district. Those who are interested to plant their ownfruits/vegetables in the park are welcome to go to thehub to register a slot.

    Once a resident register, he is given a package of culti-vated soil to plant any kinds of fruits/vegetables within the slot. A name tag is attached in the slot to notify people the slot is occupied. Fruits/vegetables grown are belonged to the participants.

    Since there is a water storage in Australia, the vegetation project maybe constrained by the water supply. In order to provide sufficient water to the plant, a rain water storage system is developed at the barbe-cue area.

    The Roof of the barbecue area is made ofpolycarbonate sheeting. Rain water will flow along the roof to the water tank embedded in the landscape. Water isstored for plant irrigation.

    No toilets in the park. People have to walk 5-10 min back to their home if they need.said one park user.

    There is a demand of public toilet in the park.It is one of the barriers for park occupants toutilize the park. In the rejuvenation strip, 3 biolytis toilets are installed. The toilets aretrying to solve the public issues as well asusing the organic waste as liquid fertilizer for the vegetation

    The process of converting human excrementinto safe and usable compost material can take 3 months to a few years depending onclimate, temperature, and the compostingsystem. In 4 to 6 years there will be highlymineralized soil. Some composting-toiletmodels concomitantly turn urine into an odor-free, pathogen-free organic liquid fertil-izer. Some countries, for example Sweden, allow this liquid to be used in agriculture afterit is stored for 6 months. In full-size compost-ing toilets, urine goes through a processcalled nitrification, resulting in an odor-freeand practically bacteria-free liquid fertilizer.

    the government set up a hanging area for them.
