Project Type: Acedemic, personal project

Architecture Type: Complex building

Instructor: Kai Yu

Study and research the existing space the urban villages vertically through the public areas, etc. Among them, the residential connection forms. By studying these existing space types and plane textures of Wuhan urban villages, and use the wasp plug-in of grasshopper as a tool to develop the steps of observation, extraction, sorting, and reorganization. It mainly includes residential Units, small vendors, residential units have various patterns, and the combination of various building types also has different proportions and existing space types, a new set of link logic is created to form a new vertical system.

The main layout and plane texture of the village

Wuhan is a city that flows through the Yangtze River. The villages the Yangtze River, and they are very dense. Hua'anli, the largest 100,000 people at its peak. The area is only one square kilometer, Although the house is dilapidated, it has very convenient living facilities is full of traffic. The urban village is one of the most important constituent often criticized by the world. However, if we learn its space type and achieve extremely low land use rate and extremely high Space efficiency

In The City

villages in the city are mainly distributed on both sides of urban village in Wuhan, was home to as many as kilometer, but there are more than 2,000 private houses. facilities and very low rent because the urban area constituent elements of Wuhan city. Its messiness is and link logic and make it develop vertically, we can efficiency

According to the analysis, the basic units are combined in a certain proportion.

Study and research the existing space types and plane textures of Wuhan urban villages, and use the wasp plug-in of grasshopper as a tool to develop the urban villages vertically through the steps of observation, extraction, sorting, and reorganization. It mainly includes residential Units, small vendors, public areas, etc. Among them, the residential units have various patterns, and the combination of various building types also has different proportions and connection forms. By studying these existing space types, a new set of link logic is created to form a new vertical system.

The automatically generated outdoor space is a very good activity place for the people of Wuhan. During the day, they can play cards, chat, play chess, and other different activities together. At the same time, you can see service areas such as electric vehicle storage places, as well as some canteens.

Two middle-aged women are chatting leisurely on the balcony in front of the house, and can experience multiple exchanges in such an outdoor space.

In the evening, when the sun shines in from the west, it is a good time to rest. An old man found a place where all kinds of flowers and plants were planted, and took a comfortable nap for a while.
