Collective Memory of The City Museums in the historic district

2018 Guangzhou Instructor: Peng Changxin Individual Design Work Email: arcxpeng@scut.edu.cn Tel: +86 13922234890 The site of the museum is located at the historic district of Guangzhou. The site links between the historic bamboo houses community and the Liwan River. However, the original building in the site blocks residents’ way to reach the river, which reduces their activity space.

The goal of this project is to re-establish the relationship between the river and the community, reshape the atmosphere of the place, and allow people to retrieve their collective memories of the city.

In the design, the scale of the street and surrounding communities was used to restore the atmosphere of public spaces in the alleys and alleys of the 1960s, and many small squares were designed on the street to provide residents with space for daily activities(chat, sunbathing and clothes drying) to evoke residents' collective memory. In the interior space design, reference is made to the spatial pattern of traditional architecture. Through the combination of the space of the bamboo tube house and three two-lane houses, an open exhibition space on the first floor and an exhibition space on the second floor are formed. The similar space atmosphere restores the original living scene and stimulates the individual memory.

Analysis of the Memories

1960s-Residential

1990s-Antique Market

The Broken of The Memory These two plans of the site show that the new building ignores the texture of the city. It blocks the residents from approaching the river directly and decreases residents’ public space.

Formal Public Activity Space

Informal Public Activity Space

The Collective Memory Public spaces can be divided into two categories, Formal public spaces have pre-defined functions. Informal public activity area spontaneously formed by residents and the environment.Its function changes with the population and time.

The Individual Memory Residents live in traditional architectural spaces

Site Existing Activities and Living Condition These axon shows that the buildings in the site make the riverside public space smaller than before. What is worse, the buildings block residents’ way to the riverside, which decreases the activity around the river. Nowadays the residents can only doing activities around their house.

The Collective Memories

Terrance:

When residents dry clothes on the balcony, they always chat with neighbors who also do housework on the balcony, and occasionally say hello to passersby

Alley:

Alleys and empty squares on the streets will be a good place for residents to rest, and also an amusement park for children

Patio:

Very central public space, often used for events

Urban Design of Chancheng District

2019 Foshan Instructor: Lin Zhe Group Reasearch &Individual Design Work Email: linzhe@scut.edu.cn Tel: +86 19802018052 Foshan is a city with a long history. Because of its proximity to the river bank, the former Chancheng District was the economic development center of Foshan. Most businesses and trade unions gather here. However, over time, the construction of roads caused river traffic to cease to be a decisive element of the economy, so the economy began to shift to the religious spiritual center on the south side. With the economic transfer, various other elements also evacuated from Chancheng What's worse, the riverside area, which was not suitable for economic development, has become a new business center. The middle of the two bustling business centers, the most prosperous area, is now the most dilapidated slum.

For the development of the entire region, this region should assume a more important role than before. It needs to activate its own vitality to connect the business districts on both sides and form a large economic zone.

In order to ensure that the site has better vitality, it is also very important to connect the traffic that was originally blocked.

In order to activate the site's vitality on the basis of ensuring its historical and cultural values, we decided to use a point-like intervention site. In operation, by increasing the activity space of residents, the quality of life of the site is optimized, and more people are brought into the site.

The Lack of Culture Connection Foshan used to be an ordinary small fishing village. With the commercial development along the south bank of the Fenjiang River, Foshan gradually developed into a densely populated city.

Panchong District, located in the middle of Foshan, is planned to be a mixed area of industrial,commercial and residents.

In the development of commerce, Chancheng District has gradually become the commercial center of Foshan and even Guangdong Province.

Elderly Community Center 2020 Guangzhou Instructor: Alfred Pun Wang Shuo Individual Design Work Email: shwang@scut.edu.cn Tel: 020 87111614 The community center is located between the two universities. The community is surrounded by college students and looks very active. There are many facilities in the community that serve young people. However, there are many retired faculty and other elderly people in the community who do not have a place to host their activities.

In this neighbourhood between the two universities, most of the facilities arranged along the street serve college students. Their activities are mainly carried out on the main street and the street-side shops, while the main activities of the elderly in the community are located far from the main street. The activities of the two groups rarely overlap. Because of that, the goal of this program is to create a space for the elderly in the community.

Isolate external disturbances and create a peaceful place for the elderly to pass the time quietly.

In the design, the site is divided into two completely independent spaces to serve the two groups of people in the community. The two kinds of people are in the same site, but cannot reach each other's space, so that the elderly can get a quiet space by the noisy street, but also let the surrounding young people feel that peace in the site.

Site Analysis

In this neighbourhood between the two universities, most of the facilities arranged along the street serve college students. Their activities are mainly carried out on the main street and the street-side shops, while the main activities of the elderly in the community are located far from the main street. The activities of the two groups rarely overlap.

Typology Study

Typology Study Through typological study, according to the differences between two groups, the positions of the walls in the two directions are organized, so that the two groups have independent activity spaces in the building. However, through the control of the opening positions of the walls, allows two groups to perceive each other, but unable to generate more communication

The Same Group of Pepople When opening windows on the wall between spaces with the same attributes, the opening heights are close to ensure that the sight lines on both sides can pass through, and the two sides can communicate

Different Group of Pepople When opening windows on the walls between spaces with different attributes, control the height of the windows and the height of the floors on both sides, so that the people on both sides cannot communicate with each other. People on both sides can see the people walking on the other side through the open window, but they cannot communicate with sight

Or you can control the line of sight on both sides by controlling the horizontal position and window size of windows of the same height, so that the lines of sight on both sides cannot be easily communicated

Through the combination of the walls, different spaces are created for the two groups of peo because the front and back sides of the wall itself, or even different parts, may form spaces t serve different groups of people. The seemingly continuous walls do not belong to the same sp supplemented by the communication on the line of sight, so that the two groups can imagine the sp in which each other is located.

2020 Taishan Instructor: Peng Changxin Individual Design Work ( Final Project) Email: arcxpeng@scut.edu.cn Tel: +86 13922234890 The Kung Yik Port is located in Taishan City and was built in 1902. It was built by overseas Chinese in the United States based on Manhattan's urban planning. It has a very long history and high cultural value. The Kung Yik hotel is the earliest building in Kung Yik. At first, it was the most prosperous hotel in Kung Yik port, where people enjoyed life.

However, in more than one hundred years of history, his function has undergone many changes due to the needs of different historical periods. In order to adapt to different functions, it has also undergone many transformations. Now, for various reasons, the Kung Yik Port and Kung Yik Hotel have become very depressed. It has lost its original vitality and has become very dilapidated.

In the design, in order to be able to reproduce the original glory of Kung Yik Hotel and allow people to feel the original historical memories, the project restores the original atmosphere on the basis of strengthening its structure by retaining its original structure.

Restore its original spirit through the original space, structure, and activities to reproduce its value

The Original State of Kung Yik Hotel Tai Shan's History . (1995).

Kung Yik Hotel is a building built at the beginning of Kung Yik (Guangdong, Taishan). It has a history of 100 years. It is located in the northeast corner of Kung Yik, covering an area of 700 square meters. There are four stories in all, which is the tallest building of that year. At first, it was the most luxurious hotel in Kung Yik, which was full of people and bustling day by day.

Through research , we found that for transport by river to train again to the highway, the economic status of Kung Yik, which located along the river, began to gradually reduce, leading to its transformation from a commercial center to an industrial town. Because of the changes in its functions in this century of history.

It carries a series of functions such as shops, tea houses, dance halls, dormitories, warehouses, and classrooms.

ARK079 Nordic Architecture: Nordic Women [Time] 2022.01.18-2022.02.04 [Instructor] Tabita Nilsson, 0709-615052 [Group Work] Sophia Andersson, Charlotta Gatenbeck, Maria Karlsson, Yongting Lu, Ellen Ömmelspång In this course we have an in-depth understanding of Nordic architectural styles through the study of Nordic qualities such as site adaptability, space, light and materiality, as well as collective, flexible and critical practice. The theme of this year is the design of Nordic female architects. Our group's object is making Ebeneser House's model designed by Wivi Lönn.

We have a deeper understanding of Finnish Architecture and life in the 1990s by consulting research, historical photos and interviewing Taina sillandää of ebeneser House Museum. The building is a combination of housing and kindergarten. In order to distinguish functions, the designer has made a strong distinction between "housing" and "Kindergarten" in facade, streamline and plane.

Drawing by Camilla Erlandsson

This course is working on an on-going exploration of architecture that departs from existing environments, buildings, and materials. This involves extending the architect’s engagement with “a project” to include a longer time span and untypical responsibilities.

We will begin by developing hybrid ways of representing and mediating the building in its current state, from drawing and modelling to scanning and photography. This will include producing an atlas of the building’s layers and materialities, its proud moments and flaws, as well as its traces of previous activities, to define its overall traits and character. Based on the atlas, the building will undergo a series of transformations that takes notions of time, material, and activity into account.

It is hoped that the sustainable operation and development of the village will be stimulated through the homestay.

In our eyes, rural construction has never been a simple matter. Today, a large number of rural buildings are crudely manufactured. We hope that our design can meet the needs of modern life while recreating the context and atmosphere of rural life.
