POLLUTION CONDITION STRATEGY

PHASE 1: Land Decontamination

Workers in factories are often exposed to high levels of dust pollution which cause allergies and lung discomfort

The neighbouring factories are always emitting polluting gas particles

The first step is to first cleanse the land by artificial and natural means

PHASE

Since the 1980s, the Nanhai district of Foshan has been positioned as a major industrial development area, with many factories being built along the river, such as oil tank factories, printing factories, furniture factories, etc.

Nearby laboratories dispose of toxic chemicals in rivers or on land, which not only affects the river and vegetation, but also causes harm and even life threatening effects on people, especially children.

The discharge of effluent from oil plants requires a lot of manpower and no resources for cleaning

Significant human and material resources invested in construction

Pollutants discharged into the

river

The original site was a disused oil tank factory with 15 tanks of various sizes standing on the river bank. The large scale of use made it difficult for healthy vegetation to grow on the land.

Already causing environmental pollution and large amounts of industrial waste pieces

Decontamination of abandoned industrial sites is very important and necessary

The second step opens up the watershed and creates an ecological wetland

PHASE

The final step is retrofitting of oil tanks to include recreational features

Highly contaminated land needs to be excavated for reuse and the soil can be used as the basis for topographical facilities

Phase Ⅰ LAND RESTORATION

Phytoremediation of land with low levels of contamination is cost effective and ecologically efficient.

Strip forests to keep out dust from high speed trains and factories.

MORPHOLOGY

MASTERPLAN

The final topography is derived from the treatment of the contamination of the land and a suitable road network is added to create the final master plan.

Phase Ⅱ WATER TREATMENT

Create wetland can protect and improve water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods.

Some of the larger tanks will have smaller spaces built into them, such as cafes, showrooms and lounges, so that people can get a sense of the scale of the tank interior.

Feel Space

One can feel the internal structure of the tank when entering this installation.

OIL TANK SECTION

Feel Garden Feel Height

Some tanks also have a skylight in the ceiling so that the sun can shine into the interior of the tank, providing a different experience.

Feel Light

Ecological wetlands

From the upper viewing platform of the big oil tank, people can use binoculars to look at the birds of prey in the distant wetlands and experience the biodiversity and beauty of nature.

The sunken square is designed as half water square and half amphitheatre, the water in the water square is relatively shallow and people can take off their shoes and play in the water. The amphitheatre allows for regular events as well as roadshows by neighbouring companies.

The tanks will be connected to each other with viewing bridges so that visitors can get a feel of the different heights and the tanks will be looking at each other.

Feel the Light

OIL TANK TRANSFORMATION
Some of the tanks will be elevated on a lower level so that people can climb the stairs to the upper viewing platform to look out over the distance. Some of the tanks will be hollowed out internally and transformed into a garden that will allow visitors to experience different natural landscapes. Visitors can experience nature in a hollow tank, such as sunshine trees, grass, flowers and wind.

STARTEGY 2 —— Corridor

STRATEGY 3 —— Natural Border

Vision of Natural Border Plantation

When the elephants have no choice but to enter the village, they will slowly descend into a corridor. This corridor has a slope to prevent the elephants from damaging the property of the residents, and at the same time to ensure the safe passage of the elephants.

Water Collecting

During the rainy season, when the elephants stay in their habitat, the corridor becomes a natural reservoir that collects rainwater and purifies it for use in agriculture.

Set different degree Dislocation arrangement Intensity from high to low Behives are placed in different area

Thoughts of Elephant and Villager

Camping Area

In order to promote tourism in the village and realize convenient transportation, vertical and horizontal landscape bridges are set up in the corridor.

Strategy Plan

Part of what is important in the proposal is to emphasize the place of the people, the open and visible market and strengthen the movements and contacts between areas in the city.

Oh no!! I hate bees! They will hurt me! I won't come here any more!! I am so happy that I can make a living depend on bees!

Plantation

In order to prevent elephants from destroying crops and increase planting space, we use the space on the ramp to grow food that elephants do not like.

Handmade Model

The handcrafted models allow me to better experience the relationship between the site and the elephant corridor, where the villagers and the elephants have their own flow and do not interfere with each other and live together in harmony.

In 2022, Europe will fall into an energy crisis. Many countries have energy shortages, and citizens do not have enough funds to pay electricity bills, especially in many places where there is insufficient heating in winter.

Plant-e's mission is to provide a high-tech, nature-based solution by generating electricity with living plants. By using this technology, we can power stand-alone electrical equipmentsuch as lighting and sensors - without connecting to the electricity grid and wherever plants and water are available. At the same time, we reduce methane emissions and store CO2 on.

The selected site is located in a planned green area next to two residential area in Mannheim, covering 53 hec. The population of residents living here is concentrated, and the demand for electricity is large.

Combined with interactive design, viewers can intuitively feel the process of plant power generation.

There are three different urban fabrics in Nansha District. The first is the Nansha New Area, which has been fully constructed. The second type is the Hengli Island area where urban and rural areas are combined. The third is the undeveloped Wanqingsha area.

The site is located between the undeveloped farmland in the water town and the modernized area, facing not only the villagers but also the residents of the community.

FISHERY CONDITION

About 48% of the residents near the site are engaged in the fishing industry There are many fishermen who mainly catch shellfish such as oysters.

Walking Route View Boat and car route

③ Divide into 3 parts

④ 3 parts located & Construct a new canal

⑤ Connect blocks and sight analysis

⑥ Block rotate and uplift

Fishermen can find a suitable place to sell, residents can come here to experience the culture of the water town and eat fresh seafood, tourists can learn how oyster shells are recycled here.

This venue is a selling ground for fishermen and seafood shops, providing a comfortable and efficient place to trade. Visitors can experience the culture of the waterfront and the sustainable use of seafood products here.
