Art district, or Artists Village, is a new spatial outcome in China’s economic and urban transformation. Since China’s economic reform started in 1978, ideological and political control over art and culture have been gradually loosened, allowing exposure of Western avant-garde art to art enthusiasts. The rise of self-employment and easier migration has further allowed Bohemian artists to practice in their preferred cities. As such, China’s art villages started to take shape in the 1990s. Some well-known art districts artist villages, such as 798 art zone, Songzhuang in Beijing, have become artistic and cultural symbols in these cities.

Art villages in Beijing are a spatial outcome of China’s economic reform, characterized by loosened control over ideology, employment, migration and expression of ideas. The desire to develop creative urban economies in government policies provides further support to the growth of art activities. In the past two decades, art villages in Beijing emerged and prospered, presenting a new sector of urban development in China.

explain the location of artist village

The model of developer-oriented and over commercialized 798 art district and bottom-up artist cluster settling down in the warehouses indicate a delicate balance between the demands of the market, policy pressures, and creative ambitions.

As artists who not only look for an affordable place but also spacious studio space now resides in these post-industrial warehouses as their temporary solution for workspaces. The north-east side of Beijing has become a giant creative factory, around 30 art districts were created from the 1980s. Artist village in Beijing is presenting new patterns of urban development formed by governments, international organizations, investors, collectors and property developers as well as the artists.

Diagram of artist relocating process

Since the urban expansion is swallowing many of the suburb areas in Beijing, for the artist who live in villages are also become the victims of the procedure. And even worse is that artists are facing the same situation again and again. They come to a warehouse area, renovated them into housing and studios, but not long after that the area was planned as a site for new development. Even they go on protest but they still cannot find a stable place to settle down.

“The Warm Winter” art project is a demonstration against inhumanine demolition and expulsion by developer and police. This photo above is one part of the art projects called “Day Dream”. The homeless artist sleeping in the snow reveals the strong conflict between the urbanization process and artists or other residents.

The chosen site is called “Black Bridge Village�, locating in the north-east suburb area of Beijing, surround by a loop railway for train testing. This isolated place uses to be abandoned by the urban planners because of the poor connection and transportation with the city, the whole place just like an island in the urban area isolated from the city of Beijing.

Site analysis

The Black Bridge Village is one of the fastest growing artist villages of Beijing after the economic crisis in 2008, there are proximately 700 artists work in this area.

And the reason it still remains alive is mainly contributed by the loop railway as a natural shelter separating the village from the city, it’s like a micro great wall protect the village from the interest of developers.

Pre-emptive defense strategy

798 is the biggest and most successful art district in Beijing, even though there is not many artists living inside, it is still the representative of Beijing art world. But back in 2002, 798 used to facing the same situation of demolition for new development. But after a series of art festival and exhibition, the municipality started to reconsider their plan. After a long time of negotiation between artists, developers and municipality, 798 had been rezoned into a art district and became what it looks like right now.

Design strategy diagram

Back to the black bridge village, right now there are 700 artists are living inside the area, instead of waiting for the developers coming and change it into a new housing block, we should take the action first and strike back. And what we can do is to use the power of artists, make the place dynamic and desirable, attract the public coming in to the area, using the cultural value and economic value as jetton to persuade the municipality, express the potential of artist village and use it as a tool to keep artist stay instead of moving.

15

The first move is to occupy the warehouse area by invading the area with artist and independent galleries. More importantly is to create a community centre for the artists living nearby in order to strengthen the connection between the artists.

During the first stage, the main purpose is to let artist occupy the space as much as possible.

The warehouse will be divided into small sectors and rented out to the artists, and this is one housing prototype for the artists.

16

Artist studio prototype 17

In the second stage more and more artist housing will emerge and galleries will expand their spaces. Some of the building will be tore down for the sake of new path connecting surrounding area. When more and more warehouse are occupied, the clusters will be formulated in between them. New public space will be provided to change the atmosphere of the street and impression of the area.

18

Public space atmosphere 19

The third stage will focus on the in-between space, the middle part of the area is too deep to approach from the street, so voids will be created inside of the warehouse area to make pedestrian path, expanding the program to the streets and make a dynamic urban life.

20

Indoor & outdoor exhibition 21

The last stage will trying to explore new ways of exhibition and make it as the special identity of the artist village.

The art district will no longer only be an exhibition and public space but also a space to bring artists and public together. Exhibition will not only be shown in the galleries but also the studios, the streets and the plazas. When public are visiting the areas they will also experience the working process of the artists, and if they ready enjoy a painting, they could just knock at the artist’s door to talk to him.

22

Integrated studio & exhibition space 23

The Nordic welfare state has its start in the common mentality and responsibility for these individuals who perform difficulties with ‘caring for themselves’.

Unfor tunately the original romantacized concept of social mutual care has been undermined by strong bereaucratisation, professionalisation and institutionalisation. As a result the excluded individuals concentrated in danish ghettos become victims of the system. The project will propose a new type of social housing to seek for a better integrated community.

The new housing units will be replicable and extendable due to different geographic location, each unit will share its courtyard with several other tenants. Instead of the homogeneous modernist blocks, the project will be integrated with a full range accessible roof, which is also the main traffic space to each housing units. There will be no more endless boring corridors and staircases, new housing area will be as simple as landscape and housing underneath it.

The project will also introduce an integrated office area as the financial driver, which could provide economic support and also social assistance. Social housing should not be separated from the society anymore, office block will be the monumental symbol for the welfare state.

SPATIAL DEMOGRAPHY

Most small towns in Denmark is facing the same problem where population is shrinking and growing older, as the younger inhabitants is moving towards the cities for education and work. Rødby was once a flourishing harbour town – a harbour that was later reclaimed for agricultural land. Despite its recent challenges, it has a strong community that is passionate and active in its fight to survive and retain access to public services.To deal with these challenges the project utilises 3 tools to develop a variety of possible interventions of both municipal and Urban iso existing 1:2.000 community level.

Through analysing demographic data on a scale from national to local level, it appeared that the cause for ageing was shrinking. By analysing the historic development it appeared that the town where once a flourishing harbour town organised along the main street. By investigating deeper - population, social and urban fabric - it appeared how t he tow n w as com pos ed be ne ath the s tr ict architectural level. It also appeared that the inhabitants had a strong community through etc. social media.

On this basis 3 prototypes where developed, dealing 32

with the challenges on an extreme level for 3 different development scenarios. These 3 prototypes where presented for the inhabitants and a discussion raised both via meetings, social media and through the regional newspaper, generating a variety of possible interventions. A masterplan was proposed implementing the interventions over a span of years rethinking how one intervention can make the next possible through bottom-up community actions.

Both Denmark and China face significant ageing of their populations in the coming decades, with the anticipated swelling of seniors identified in the popular media through terms such as: the age wave, silver tsunami, or the demographic bombshell. The exhibition Age and the City: Copenhagen Experiments investigates the implications of these pressures on a range of urban areas in and around Denmark’s largest city, Copenhagen, and explores potential architectural and urban responses to them.

The investigation takes place inside the Baitasi Beijing Design Week area; the main research tools used are mapping, interviews, photographic documentation and spatial analyses. The method adopted is organized in three phases. Starting from an accurate study and portrayal of the hutong’s current conditions, it follows a phase of identification and interpretation of its existing problems that ends with the suggestion of possible resolutions.

Within the exhibition, there are displayed the results of this intensive one-week workshop and a possible future vision for the Baitasi neighborhood.

The Sohoyuan recreates the traditional Siheyuan, the initial cell of a hutong neighborhood. Based on the historic principles of a dwelling, Sohoyuan provides high life quality to its users and has a contemporary reinterpretation of materiality. It does not merely copy the exiting, it adjusts to our time and society. The Sohoyuan uses the principles of the Siheyuan to recreate a compact courtyard on a smaller plot. The simple volumes are arranged along the enclosing wall with the main residential space to the north. Through the main gate to the south you enter the entry court, giving direct access to both the workspace and the courtyard through a screen wall.

The Courtyard reintroduces the logic of the historic courtyards. The project consists of four separate units surrounding a maximized courtyard in the middle of the plot.

There are two entrances in otherwise closed street facades. The Main Gate leads to a smaller Entry courtyard. Through a Screen Wall a guest enters the Courtyard.

Separated courtyards and entrances provide a public entry for the office, and a private area for living.

Each unit could be used as working or living space in order to provide flexibility as much as possible, which would be necessary for home office.

The project is about tranforming an abandoned shipyard into a new grand thermae at the bank of the river. With the old building we only reserve the columns as a memorial hall, and the gas from the thermae will generate uncertain vision of the structure. In that sense, the project will discuss about planting a memorial space into an recreational building, the mental conflict will become a dynamic subject to be explored.

In the city of China, there are hundreds of high-rises and huge public buildings under construction everyday, by there is no space for people to build something small and delicate. Until we find this small cafe on the hill, we won’t believe it’s built by the owner themelves.

Under the big development of the urban construction by the goverment, this sort of small building become even more precious. We are trying to analyse this case to recreate a more sufficient building for the owner.

The main purpose of the building began with music, which we would reserve and expand to a multifunctional building. So we cobine the rehersal basement, auditorium and semi-outdoor stage and as well housing into one integrated cafe, with the cafe and livehouse on first floor, living room on second floor, and bedroom on third floor. Seperating the entrance for different functions in order to keep the space physically independent but sensorially connected in a blurry way.

“City In Sky” is an experimental project in order to try using such kind of project to explore the boundary of architecture. “City In Sky” is not designed by a certain architect, but 39 children, the “kid-architects” demonstrated the design in their minds by sketching and modeling; I’m even not willing to see it as a complete artificiality. Due to the alive bamboo as part of the structure, that makes it possible to allow the floating city to grow.

From Bamboo to Forest We transplant alive bamboo to make two bamboo houses by 3m*3m*8m standards. Jointed and fixed by transverse components, as open-air terraces and playroom for children, the bamboo houses are also part of the whole architectural landscape.

Planting Process We use natural bamboo as bear loading structure of “City In Sky”. The building is separated into 8 bamboo structural units by 3m*3m standards. We create 90m2 floorage by using only 3m2 foundation area. The inverted pyramid form makes the houses seem floating in the air. Two “planted” building can be regarded as space prototype of upward cities. Every kid could work on their own house. And the gathering of bamboo houses make it a urban spatial form of neighborhood.
