BACK TO BLUE [Type] Urban stormwater Management Design [Location] Brussels, Belgium [Duration] 2 weeks, 2013.07 [Contribution] Team work refined to individual work [Collaborator] BenoĂŽt Suzanne (ULB), WU HUI(TJU) [Instructor]Marco Ranzato, Olivia Adamska
INTRODUCTION This was a 2-week international exchange summer school project refined into a personal work with deeper analysis and representation. We aim to enhance Brussels transition towards an integrated urban water management city. How to reduce the dependence of water input from external resources and the discharge of exceeding and polluted waters to downstream sinks? Is it really possible to create the conditions that allow absorbing the pressure and requirements of the water system within Brussels urban region? Those are all questions waiting for anwers.
SCALE
BACKGROUND Brussels initially had a complete water system, it was abundant of water. Until the early 20th century, the water of Brussels system was only one fifth of that in 1556. The city was under the threat of flood, which brought the rainwater management to emergency. While stormwater managements have been implemented to restore part of the river, the progress is very slow, and we hope to make Brussels rivers to get most of the restoration in 2040.

CURRENT SITUATION
CATC
A catchment basin is the area of land where surface water from rain or melting snow to a single point at a lower elevation and join another water body. Brussels has many catchments to easily drain the water but it also means easily become floods.
Now, water in Brussels canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t form a complete system, which limits the trasportation and drainage system. The Great Canal plays the main role of water transportation, but it needs to carry more responsibility for receiving treated water in the future.

LECTOR
S& COL HMENT
Built-up area are composed by real estate development and construction industries. Brussels has a high degree of urbanization, so the water is in great demand, meanwhile, it produce more wastewater and the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infiltration ability is declining.
SPACE
As the surface water is declining, the green spaces of the city are reducing. There are countable public green spaces left in city centre. And in the south, there remains a large area of forest. More green spaces will help the natural infiltrtion process.
A
BLIC ARE
OPEN PU
Roads, public squares and parks are considered public spaces. Brussels has a large number of roads and squares connecting the buildings. The incorrect material of the hard ground greatly reduces the permeability of surface.
SCALE1 - CITY The existing municipal water treatment facilities can solve part of the water problems. But when the rainy season comes, they still are not enough to withstand floods. So the distribution of drinking water receivers, water tower and purify station is re-arranged.

SCALE2 - AREA The case study is located near the Canal where the Maelbeek sewer collector is connected to the Senne river. A new development plan for the bank of the Canal promotes a mixture of small industries, residences and services. The new regulations will provide opportunities for an urbanity where surface water, green areas, industry and residential quarters can live together.

The Maelbeek Valley is the most urbanized and transformed watershed in Brussels. The lakes that followed the river helped to regulate its course and to keep a buffer zone from the residential lots. Between 1844 and 1854 most of the lakes in the upper part of the Valley, due to a bad maintenance, disappeared.

STRATEGY SCENARIO In the valley, we want to create more rain gardens, constructed wetlands and rooftop gardens for collecting and purifying waste water. And part of the half-clean water can be sent back to public plazas, used in daily washing, or released to the canal and the rest will be transfered to the water plant. The scenario is aimed to alleviate the pressure of urban pipeline system.

BACKGROUND The site is located in Yangpu District, Shanghai, lays at the intersection of Daxue Road and Zhengmin Road. The planning area is about 1.5 hectares. Unbalanced development is a common problem in most metropolises including Shanghai. Along the Daxue Rd, economics is highly developed. However, many old residential districts cannot keep pace with that, and form another kind of urban texture in which a slow and traditional life style is predominating. The site is close to the university area, innovation area and also the residential areas. Diverse urban environment background means more functional requirements.

WATER
Stormwater enters the site through ditches under pedestrian walkways and flows down the slope into the pond near the art gallery. Plants of the site will cleanse some of the water by blocking dust or removing some impurities. Then stormwater can be used for landscape, and surplus water will be either saved in the water storage pond or just pumped into the sewers. When the site is dry, the stored water can be used to fill the lotus pond.
PLAN OF LAYOUT To connect the morden life with the traditional community life, this design tries to influence both of them, integrating the two with nature. The site is designed according to the needs from all the surroundingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;natural process, waterflow and interactions between human and nature. So both local people and passersby can find a suitable place to relax, either accelerated or slowed down, their paces of life would be adjusted and conducted in harmony.

TAKE A PEEK [Type] Kindergarten Architecture Design [Location] Virtual Site [Duration] 6 weeks, 2013.05 [Contribution] Individual Work [Instructor]QI GUANGPING
INTRODUCTION A 6-week work for architecture studio in the 4th semester. For the residential neighborhoods, the scale of the kindergarten is limited to six classes with 24 children each, and fewer than two floors. Kindergarten must organize a reasonable passage route and function partition. Because of the huge quantity of outdoor activities, low-rise buildings can facilitate childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full contact with nature. If the space composition of the kindergarten is too monotonous and straight, children are easily bored and depressed by environment. In addition, staffs and teachers are another important factor that also affect the design. Many functional spaces such as guard room, office and kitchen need to be arranged.
PATTERN
BACKGROUND On the one hand, children's perception of the outside world is not fully developed, pure and regular architectural forms can protect them. On the other hand, children has strong curiosity, interesting and introductory space can meet their needs.Children’s daily activity follows a pattern. From the children's perspective, they are curious about different aspects of the world. The very curiosity makes me think that we should provide children with a window to the world for their prying eyes.

BREAK THE ENCLOSURE [Type] Traditional Chinese Garden Design-Xi Garden [Location] Yangpu District, Shanghai, China [Duration] 2 weeks, 2014.05 [Contribution] Individual Work [Instructor]WANG MIN
INTRODUCTION A 2-week work for landscape architecture studio in the 5th semester. Traditional Chinese gardens are mostly for private uses and presented in a enclosed form to meet the leisure needs of the owners of the gardens. Ancient people were enchanted with water. They excavated ponds inside the garden, carried on activities around the water. Those are all within the walls as the boundary of the garden. However, a river go through the site which breaks the traditional gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enclosed form. Without an introverted boundary, how will the story be along the river? What if the water is not introvert? From private space to open space, it creats more possibilities for activities. From private leisure to public recreation, it breaks not only the boundary of the garden, but also the boundary of social class.

interaction between people and water in ancient china
As can be seen from the traditional gardening techniques, the morphology of water and architecture-water collaboration are the essence of classical gardens. From ancient poetry and paintings, we can also know the ancient recreational activities carried out on water or beside water. According to the current situation of the site, on the one hand, I learn from the traditional techniques and reform the shape of the river when it go through the site. On the other hand, I break the traditional pattern of the enclosed garden, creating more possibility of the interaction between human and nature.

INTERACTIONS Bridges, islands or the corridor over the water separate the large water surface, forming rich view layers. When visitors stand in different locations, they can feel the different forms of water, sometimes like a stream and sometimes like a river. The tail of the water makes the water seems to be a steady stream. Human and water have mainly several forms of interactions, for example: crossing over, in parallel, direct touch or overhead. When the water is no longer within the wall, this kind of interaction becomes especially strong. As plantation, lotus are chosen as the main scene in the pool. Willows and cedars are planted on the river bank which echo the water.

REIMAGING THE BOROUGH [Type] Urban Systems_Urban Design [Location] Wilkinsburg, PA, USA [Duration] 14 weeks, 2017.01 [Contribution] Team Work, Team Leader [Collaborator] Paul Moscoso Riofrio, Lu Zhu, Yidan Gong [Instructor] Stephen Quick, Stefan Gruber
INTRODUCTION A 14 weeks project for the Urban Design Studio II Spring 2017. The project began with the premise of envisioning Penn Avenue, the local main street corridor of Wilkinsburg, as the catalyst for regenerating this independent borough of 15,000 residents located at the edge of the City of Pittsburgh. Wilkinsburg has been undergoing a continuous disinvestment since 1960 and today is one-half the population of its heyday. The scale of the project quickly expanded to include the full Borough to understand the Avenue’s broader context as well as the effects and causes of the disinvestment process. Through analysis of the Borough’s attributes and present-day situation, the studio began to see that the problems were not merely physical, but also a combination of social, economic, and environmental factors that led to the Borough’s current condition. From this basis, the studio envisioned a robust series of actions to bring back this community. Rather than starting from the typical streetscape beautification scenario, the students developed a four-sequence strategy that begins with building the sense of community for all of its stakeholders before introducing strategic and catalytic actions that range from placemaking to create identity to a network of resident-led programs that strengthen community relationships.

BACKGROUND The borough’s decline After the completion of the Parkway East, a limited-access freeway,the area’s commuters began taking the new, faster artery into and out of the city, significantly reducing the traffic flow on Penn Avenue through Wilkinsburg. With better transportation and access and relatively new and inexpensive real estate development catering to the middle class began to occur in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh. At this same time Wilkinsburg’s white working class also began buying new homes in the suburbs, this marked the beginning of Wilkinsburg’s population decline which continues today. The population of Wilkinsburg was hit harder than most communities as its residential population decreased by more than a half. And along with the flight to the suburbs, Wilkinsburg’s demographics changed from majority white to 2/3 Black. Vacancy Due to impacts of freeway construction and suburbanization, depopulation within the Borough led to the lack of commercial investment. This process of commercial disinvestment paired with population loss compounded to leave many vacant commercial properties, residential lots, and homes in the borough. Auto-Centric Uses Wilkinsburg’s newer commercial developments on Penn Avenue are more auto-centric and less vibrant with respect to creating an active street life on many weekdays, with the exception of the 700 block of Penn Avenue. As the photographs tell, many auto-oriented businesses, such as the fast food drive-through businesses, face this regional corridor having replaced former street and pedestrian-oriented storefronts. Unlike the vibrant street life of the 1960s, today’s Penn Avenue main street corridor is now marked with many vacant lots and long blocks that are much less attractive for pedestrian foot traffic.
Property Value The income distribution also reflects property values. Property values east of the Busway are relatively low compared to the Busway’s west side and the borough’s central business core has a high rate of tax delinquency. This shows a very unhealthy property value downward spiral: foreclosures and abandonment decrease nearby property values, with each instance fueling the spiraling effect and a greater number of tax delinquencies. The borough’s household tax delinquency is now as high as 25 percent.
Informal Businesses When traditional businesses have difficulty keeping their doors open, the economic situation often leads to development of an Informal economy and the studio found this to true in Wilkinsburg. Wood Street and Penn Avenue provide many Wilkinsburg unemployed residents with the ability to make some cash ferrying residents throughout the Wilkinsburg and neighboring Homewood communities. A local soul food business run by a traditional American food kitchen owner, Hosea Ghafoor, has worked with his wife over many years to cook for parties or provide on-demand catering services for other catering businesses located outside Wilkinsburg.
Regional Competition Wilkinsburg’s Main Street Business District, located along the regional Penn Avenue corridor, is not competing with the other commercial centers. On the other hand, the borough’s strategic employment and business location along the East Busway has not resulted in enough economic development and job opportunities for the community to become selfsustaining. The borough has an assortment of ethnicities. The borough’s two most dominant ethnic groups are blacks and whites. These two groups are disassociated with one another due to physical boundaries such as the busway, and economic disparities.
Commuter Flow The Wilkinsburg Busway Station has the highest ridership of all Busway stops, and a high volume of commuter traffic continues to use Penn Avenue in both directions. However, these groups of people are just passing through the neighborhood. With the Busway station’s location set away and not visible from Penn Avenue and the deterioration of the Penn Avenue corridor with its little street life, there is little incentive for commuter traffic to contribute to Wilkinsburg’s economic benefit.
Impervious Surface Impervious surfaces are abundant due to the many downtown parking lots, including the 700+ space Busway commuter parking lot, and the tree canopy and landscaping coverage in the Main Street District is sparse and not well maintained. While the parking lots are supposed to capture revenue for the borough, they remain relatively unused, and the lack of street trees is a deterrent to encouraging an active pedestrian experience.

Amenities Wilkinsburg possess rich assets ranging from local food businesses and schools anchoring different sections of the borough. The abundance of neighborhood churches, an asset of “the City of Churches,” provide many programs for young children and seniors; however, due to the declining residential population, they do not appear to be collaborating with social service organizations to sustain a strong presence in the community’s revitalization.

INTERVENTIONS
Building the Community While existing assets within the borough are robust, they have been underutilized for decades resulting in a decreasing of quality of life. Beginning with these assets as the foundation for eventual revitalization, the first intervention begins by capturing and developing the nearby social services to create synergies among them as the means to accentuate the vibrancy of the borough. Vacant Buildings and Lots already cleared of derelict buildings will fall into the ownership of the newly minted Wilkinsburg community Lank Bank & Trust, a dual agency capable of preserving lands and offering lands for development With these agencies in place current residents can have the ability to claim ownership of vacant parcels adjacent to their lot, adding equity to their home, and neighborhood by having the power to maintain or develop more land. Items performed during this time - Borough pauses vacant buildings demolition - Community Center (former Wilkinsburg H.S.) - Daycare - Community Schools - Commence evening adult education classes - Church/School coalitions on vacant lot programming - Land Bank/Trust - Retention & development of vacant lots - Side lot program begins
Strategic Interventions Diverse housing strategies will be introduced during this sequence. With a focus on an overall reuse of existing assets, a focus on strengthening the businesses along the 800 block of Penn Avenue will occur through incentivizing new businesses to enter the borough while also offering tax breaks to those small business owners from the borough, to make informal business activities formal with a storefront shop. The Port Authority starts to get engaged in the renewed measures in the borough And works with the Borough Parking Authority to strategically relocate parking to existing borough lots, allowing for the development of the Port Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s park and ride lot. Items performed during this time - Land Trust - Churches and Schools use vacant lots as urban farms, and educational agriculture training - Penn Avenue new businesses (via subsidized measures) - 800 block bldg. renovation - Community Center (former Wilkinsburg H.S.), re-programming for more social service - Churches - Job Training, After school care - Port Authority Parking Lot reduction - CBD Parking Lot Incentive - New Busway Station Construction - Co-Housing
Building New With the repositioning of resources and growing identities taking foot, new investment in the vision forward commences with new construction and programming. Within the neighborhoods of the Borough Co-Housing pilot projects begin across a demonstrative blocks, infilling blocks primed for redevelopment with affordable and market rate homes. Valuable development land for mixed use and diverse residential homes, commences around the TOD development. Further development of lands happen as the market finds them suitable. The creation of a secondary daycare and constructing a parking garage to service all the new destinations within the TOD area happen as relationships with the existing co-working and light manufacturing spaces begin to be created. Items performed during this time - Co-Housing - Pilot Blocks across 3 blocks - Subsidized Senior Living - Busway Station - Parking Lot TOD Development continues - TOD Preschool/ commuter daycare opens - Underpass connecting west industrial corridor with Susquehanna project - Strengthen industrial â&#x20AC;&#x153;maker-spaceâ&#x20AC;? identity West of Busway to Susquehanna form community connections with surrounding neighborhoods
Market Established As the market begins to understand the catalyst effect and the borough starts to grow by itself, the business climate starts to re-engage the borough, redevelopment of other open parcels will commence With lands head in the stewardship of the Land Bank and Trust start to attract development attention, further infilling of homes via Co-Housing takes off across the borough. The last portions of the Port Authority lands infill with new development as a defined industrial/office corridor takes shape in and around the TOD. Items performed during this time - Infilling vacant lots/renovating vacant homes - Bike lanes & trail network - Allison School residential conversion - 900 block mixed-use development - 700 Penn Ave + Westside of Busway - Co-Housing spreads throughout borough - Community Farming - Fully develop urban farm system (ripple effect) - Partly renovation of the watershed with green infrastructure - Preserve green pockets along Penn Ave - Identify & promote entrepreneurs to infill vacant bldgs/lots
25
CIVIC CENTER The section from Hosanna House to the South Avenue United Methodist Church (South Ave UMC) has the most gathering spaces and has the best visibility of the Civic Center area along Penn Avenue north and south. The tactical changes begin within this space. The streets are painted and temporary planter boxes are placed along new bike lanes. As a result of the added amenities more residents start to use low-cost materials and tools to make subtle interventions. People acquire all kinds of information and share resources by engaging in community events hosted in newly activated vacant lots. Civic center begins using spaces in unique ways to create more flexible program space, and improving civic presence. The community and social programs housed within the former Wilkinsburg High School complement the array housed in Hosanna House. Both centers work in hand with the adjacent religious institutions to provide safe indoor activity spaces to kids and adequate outdoor space by using the vacant lots, with flexible programming such as outdoor classrooms, playgrounds, basketball fields and street chess games. The existing schools expand their service to support the whole person and engage a broader audience. With the story of Jennifer, who is a single mother living in the neighborhood, we can have a sense of the life experienced by residents utilizing the City Center. Jennifer’s morning starts from dropping off her oldest son, Kevin, at Turner Elementary School. She then drives down to the former high school which is now repurposed and programmed with a daycare center on the first floor. Her youngest son, Chris, spends the day here with other kids and the church next to the high school serves as indoor playground for kids so the younger kids won’t need to cross the busy street for playgrounds. Jennifer parks for free in the parking lot in front of the high school, then walks through the pocket garden cleaned and greened from it’s former disuse as a vacant lot. She grabs her breakfast at the restaurant next to the garden and walks along Penn Avenue to the bus station to take the bus to downtown. Later in the afternoon, after dismissal Kevin leaves Turner School and takes the bus circulator to Hosanna House for after-school programs. Jennifer comes back from work to either co-teach the kids or take further education courses via adult education classes . With the knowledge gain within the borough’s expanded educational offerings, Jennifer is able to apply new skills first hand managing the community kitchen and farm next to the South Ave UMC. By attending the events in the church, Jennifer has the chance to meet another single mom and they makes an agreement to rotate babysitting their kids so that they both have free time to run errands and shop at the new Market along Penn Avenue.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT The new mixed-income residential section within the strategic development area is a place where new residents, families, and existing Wilkinsburgers can engage with the borough. Taking advantage of the location of the station, and the services and amenities that the station has to offer, residents in the new areas of the strategic development can benefit from living within walking distance of multiple options for commuting to work. The new iconic station with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accentuated canopy, will heighten the highly used station and signify a new plaza surrounding it. The plaza will help facilitate the capacity for increased ridership as the neighborhood grows. Within the plaza will be support services like a daycare, and breakout space for food trucks and cafes to service the scores of people crossing paths from business to home. Working with developers, the acquisition and repurposing of the 401 Penn Avenue building, adjacent to the busway, into a mixed industries building with a new market as its anchor tenant will create a destination point along the busway to travel to, for those in search for fresh food options within the East End. Within the Plaza space for the TOD station, the opening up of the viaduct of the busway and rail line allows for more visual and physical spatial connections to other sides of the busway feel more natural. Thanks to the porousness, the plaza will inspire an atmosphere that invites commuters and locals to linger and interact. The renovated historic train station and the western edge of the CBD become capable of blending seamlessly with the new busway station, ensuring the sites are connected with several points of attractions and serves as a model for the development of the whole area. With the story of Thomas, who is a younger adult living with his family in one of the new residential developments we have a sense of the typical life of a resident within the strategic development site. Thomas works nearby and usually walks his kids to school before continuing on to work, while his wife commutes downtown from the station. The busway station becomes the final gathering point for the family as they grab breakfast before continuing on their daily routines. During the afternoon or weekend, the station is again the spot of interactions where ones can meet friends, or make new connections.

THE RIVERFRONT YARDS [Type] ULI Urban Design Student Competition [Location] Chicago, USA [Duration] 2 weeks, 2017,01 [Contribution] Team Work, Team Leader [Collaborator] Yidan Gong, Aditya Bhandari, George Wu [Instructor] Stefan Gruber
INTRODUCTION A 2 weeks project for the ULI Hines Student Competition 2017. On August 28, 2016, Mayor Emanuel announced that the Chicago Department of Fleet and Facility Management will be moving its headquarters, located adjacent to Goose Island on a site bordering the North Branch of the Chicago River, to Englewood on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Side. The equipment maintenance facility as well as 200 employees will also be moving to the new headquarters. Goals of the move include spurring economic development both at the current site and at the new location, and improving operations and efficiency. Under the competition scenario, the team was as master developer to create a successful bid for the area. The task is to analyze the current conditions and provide a vision and growth plans that create a comprehensive environment that is programmed, designed, built, and operated with all the elements necessary to promote the site as an integrated part of the city, dynamic for its workers, visitors, and residents. As master developer, the team has entered into an agreement to evaluate the benefits and financial possibilities of buying the Fleet and Facility Management site and potentially combining it with certain parcels to redevelop or sell as one comprehensive development site.
PROJECT STATEMENT The Riverside Yards aims to help the districts along the North Branch Chicago River FLOURISH in four domains: sustainable landscapes, energetic communities, economic strength and diverse neighborhood. In particular, the Yards will reshape the neighborhoods by establishing a regional green space corridor, cultivating a recreational environment, constructing more space for offices and residents, and improving access to smooth work-life transitions.
