SportsFIT leverages the existing competitive athletic culture of Chicago. The city of Chicago supports a wide variety of professional sports teams that rivals any city in the United States. Chicago also has a rich history of Athletic clubs that have provided a space for professionals to compete and socialize. SportsFIT aims to provide the average Chicagoan space to create his or her own athletic community. The retrofitted Fleet and Management building will be at the center of ChicagoFIT as an Athletic Club, managed by LA Fitness. The Athletic Club will provide a space for residences and members to compete during the winter months, exercise, and socialize. The overall development will include several courts and playing fields that can be rented out and will have programmed competitions for the different companies within the development. The site will provide spaces for cyclist, basketball teams, soccer teams, football teams, tennis players, and softball leagues. It will also leverage the river to provide spaces for recreation and additional courts, along with greenspace for community use. RIVERFIT leverages the North Branch Chicago River as a key opportunity for development and recreation. The proposed development follows a central axis that ends at the recreation space along the river. The public space along the river provides a potential interchange for the future extension of the 606 and the ChicagoRiverwalk. Along with utilizing the river, ChicagoFIT will remediate the site where needed, and proposes a network of stormwater bioswales and cisterns to protect the river from existing contamination due to the sites industrial past. CommunityFIT leverages the existing culture of Chicago as well as the assets of the proposed development to encourage social interactions and networking. The development will be built around a central corridor and plazza that provides a space for the ChicagoFIT community and surrounding neighborhoods to gather, celebrate and compete. The development will provide a variety of spaces for restaurants, bars, and coffeeshops to attract both visitors and residents. 2

Land Acquisition and Selling Strategy There are two pieces of land that need to be acquired: the Fleet and Facility Management site (Block F), and Block F on the west side of the river. Although Block G will not have new development until Phase Three, it would be wise to purchase it in advance in case the property value rises. We plan to complete the purchase of both lands in year 0, and start the brownfield remediation process. Block C, Block E and Block G, the existing properties of WCI, as well as the newly-purchased Block Seven will generate revenue and relieve some of the financial burden at the beginning of the project. Block H is currently owned by WCI. However, the block was across the river, and was not well connected with the main site spatially. Therefore, we think it would be better to sell it to the government for public investment such as the extension of 606 within the block. In return, WCI can get some tax credit when purchasing the Fleet and Facility site.

Source Phasing We divide the project into three phases. The concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;competitionâ&#x20AC;? is gradually developed and extended within different phases. A strong anchor within the site characterizes each phase. The aim of Phase I is mainly to gain popularity and build up the core character of the project. The focus of the site is Block F, the original Fleet Management site. Given the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical condition, we decided to renovate the vacant warehouse into a fitness complex, which will be the anchor for this phase. Phase II aims to strengthen the anchor of the project by building a multi-functional football stadium. In the last phase, we aim to develop across river to bridge the communities in Lincoln Park. We will also continue to build a more comprehensive community by developing Block C and E as SOHO.

Rebuilding Memory Regeneration Design of Architecture and Landscape along the crossing road in Datong the Ancient City The innovation design faced serious problems as the ancient city has being destroyed, and the new constructions ignored the history. Inspired by the memories of citizens, we came up with the idea that the new city should reestablish the spaces connecting to such memories. With flexible land use policies for the land owners, traditional yards and routes are created in modern forms. The new design offers both the city and residents unique chance of cultural and economic development. The relationship between modern roads and historic context is the most critical topic. By widening the pedestrian sidewalk and adding green space along the street, we generated a 4-lane road instead of six-lane, which is the current situation. The crossing area of the streets has civic historic buildings. So the traffic volumes are guided along the specific buildings. Summer 2015 3 months Contribution: 25% Total building area: 63.5 hectare

Solutions for Storm Water Management
One of the main accomplishments of the conceptual plan is to increase the street connectivity from a few entrance to many intersections, extending street grid from Downtown. Also, we remain the two buildings and a symbolic tree with square, as a way of respecting its history. These remnant buildings can serve as a community space. Taken motif from here, we conceit of similar scale fenced public squares in terms of junction among mixed neighborhood. less than 40 feet in width between buildings, are as much a part of a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street network as larger streets. While they may not carr heavy loads of through traffic, they provide access to properties and are often integral parts of the non-motorized street network.
There are three types of park. One is to slow the water down, the second is to let the storm water going throug. The third is to detain the water when the big raining. All the related pavements, and types of trees are serving for the stormwater purpose. While they also serve for differn activities and strong connection to the neighborhood.

Forest Fire Risk Z ones Mapping and Fire Infrastructions in San D iego, CA Introduction
Accessibility
Wild fire in San Diego is a big issue we need to pay primary attention to. The cost on firefighting in a single year of 2007 reaches $80 million. Therefore, by doing this research, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to answer the following 3 questions. 1. Where are the places with the highest possibility of wild fire? 2. How is the accessibility to these locations from the fire stations? 3. In what way can we improve the condition? Our research covers two parts. The first part is a fire risk analysis with multiple geological features including elevation, slope, aspect, land use, distance to road and distance to settlement. Each is with a standard scoring rule and a specific weight. Thus, we can get a map on overall score evaluation of each cell. Next, with the high-risk value areas generated from the map and the location of the existing fire stations, we will conduct a network analysis on the fire infrastructures. By building the service area for the fire stations and calculating the distance from the high-risk areas to the closest fire stations, we can answer the second and third questions.
The result indicates that for 75% regions with high possibility of fire, the accessibility of fire services is less than 6 minute. 90% regions could be reached in 10 minutes. However, some of the regions have relatively low fire-saving accessibility. Some of them could be as long as 20 minutes. For thouse regions, the service of fire station is in need of change.
Hot Spot Analysis
The maps above show the accessibility to the fire stations from the fire stations. The green cross represents hazard regions within 10-minute service area. The orange cross represents hazard regions out of the service area. They are generally located in the south-east part of San Diego where there are fewer fire stations, and fewer roads. The red cross represents the hazard region not accessible by current network, for which we need to build more roads for the fire stations to reach.
The data analysis is focused on hot spot analysis of target hazard regions. Unising ArcScene, we redefined the region average fire hazard score in hot spot areas. Combine with the street network, it is clear that most hazard zones are located in low-density street area. In hot spot, most of the value that determines whether it is easy to cause fire is relatively high. The demand fire instucted area is the combination of two hazard area-one is areas lack of fire-saving infrastures while the other has higher possibility of fire-issues. Most of the high-demand fire instructed areas are outside the central city while some of them are located in further suburbs. This indicates the suffiency of fire infrastructures in different small areas. Reference:

the possibility of catching wild fire in different areas. By analyzing features and reclassification, we can get the evaluation score of each geological factor (elevation, slope, aspect, landcover, distance to road and distance to settlement), and by assigning different weight in raster calculation, we can get the overall evaluation map. Then, we extract out the areas with high risk and transform into polygon and centroid points. By using the network we built with the road data, we can get the 10-minute service area of the fire stations and the time it takes to each hazard location.

Intermediate Results 1. DEM and the result of reclassification. The class division is set at 500, 1000 and 1500. Higher
elevation is easier to catch fire. 2. Slope and the result of reclassification. The class division is set at 5,10,25, 35. Higher elevation is easier to catch fire. 3. Aspect and the result of reclassification. South facing region is the easiest to catch fire. North facing region is the hardest. 4. Distance to settlement and the result of reclassification. The further away to residential area, the lower the risk is. 5. Land cover and the result of reclassification. The order from risk from highest to lowest is nature, agriculture, human landscape, urban and barren land. 6. Distance to road and the result of reclassification. The further away to road, the lower the risk is. 7. The total evaluation score. The risk of the east region is higher than the west, but the high risk regions still scatters in the whole San Diego region. 21
