SAO PAULO: THE RESCALING OF RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND NEW MODELS OF DOMESTIC LIFE LOCATION DATE PROPERTY ROLE
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL JAN.2017-MAY 2017 ACADEMIC TEAM WROK CONCEPT(70%) MASTERPLAN(70%) URBAN COMPLEX PLAN(100%) MODELING(50%) UNIT DESIGN(30%) INSTRUCTOR FELIPE CORREA, HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGN SPECIFICATION This project examines how the organization of mobility infrastructure and the rescaling of a long corridor can bring activity into the industrial area and the river. By the reorganization of highway along the canal and the relocation of regional heavy transportation, one site of the project introduces a recreational bar across Tiete River, bringing public outdoor activities at the end of the corridor and opens a close-water edge to the city. In order to fix blocks that isolated by the railway, the other site of the project takes the advantage of existing topography and relocates the railway that across the site to the underground. A continuous surface that goes along the elevated highway diminishes the other height difference in the site, creating a social hub that could engage transportation, commercial activity, public amenity, cultural facilities as well as two residential bars. Defined by different identities of adjacent open spaces, the feature of two residential bars are their shared spaces and various unit type that could accommodates all kinds of family types.

RESEARCH/ MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE/ INTERSECTION The study of topogarphy shows a geographical growth logic of the regional-transport infrastructures(railway, canal, highway). Such transportation system largely frame the city at its primary stage of development. While later expansion of the city and its domestic infrastructure system (metro,bus,major corridor) grow in an other pattern, they have to fit in the frame that was set by the existing as well, which result in an extremely complicated and compact overlapping intersections. Also, height difference that was provided by topography is another cause of the multiple layers in infrastructure nodes. (BOTTOM DRAWING) Multiple layers that exist in the huge transportation infrastrcuture nodes are the result of the city’s special development sequence and varied terrain. Those intersections enable the transportation mobility but at the same time are barriers to urban activities. (RIGHT DRAWING)
RESEARCH/ MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE/ TOPOGRAPHY Sao Paulo’s mountainous topography shows a geographical growth logic of the regional-transport infrastructures(railway, canal, highway). Such transportation system largely frame the city at its primary stage of development. While later expansion of the city and its domestic infrastructure system(metro,bus,major corridor) grow in an other pattern, they have to fit in the frame that was set by the existing as well, which result in an extremely complicated and compact overlapping intersections. (RIGHT DRAWING) Closely examination of cannal shows a city that is framed by both topography and urban grid. In the sections, there are layers result from varied topography as well as layers result from crossed infrstructure network. (TOP DRAWING)
RESEARCH/ MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE/ HISTORY
3
By studying the mobility infrastructure of Sao Paulo from three scales, we start to understand the forms, evolution and connections. The city itself is dominated by two main elements. One is topography and the other one is the frame of mass transportation. The unique characteristic makes different layers of mobility infrastructure coincide with each other in the city and generate different urban experience. The historical timeline illustrate the development of mobility infrastructure coincide with different epochs of the city’s growth. (LEFT DRAWING)

RESEARCH/ MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE
RESEARCH/ SITE LOCATION
A series of complicated overlapping moments in the city that often involves in three or more kinds of infrastructure. Those intersections spreads out through the whole city, which particularly concentrated along cannal and in the city center. Huge volumn and area those intersctions ocupied brings large influnece to their neighborhoods and become a feature of Sao Paulo. (LEFT DRAWING) Moments of different forms of mobility infrastructure meeting with its neighborhoods shows various relationship between them. Mass transportation infrastructure like railway, canal and highway cut through the city, causing barriers in the city while domestic public transportation like metro, bus and large corridors provides connection and places for urban activities taken place. (BOTTOM DRAWING)
From the previous research, we understand that Sao Paulo is a city that is framed by its infrastructure system and topography. If we look at the whole city, there is a considerable area of vacant land existing in the infrastructure intersections. For a high density city like Sao Paulo, these land are promising sites for urban development in terms of accessibility.
SITE FOOTPRINT
5
We chose two major mass transportation lines to have a close look of vacant lands. One lines is the canal-Tiete River, one is the railway. We find there are two typical infrastructure nodes along the river and the railway. For the canal, the exit ramps of the crossing highway create a lot residual land. For the railway, residual space often are left over space between branches of rail track.
VACANT LAND DISTRIBUTION
6
RESEARCH/ SITE CONTEXT If we look at the land use of neighborhoods along these two infrastructure lines, most of the existing usage are industrial factory and mixed-use low rise residential and retail. In addition of flooding issue, the whole area along and in between these two lines are now under development. 7
The total area of all the vacant lands in infrastructure nodes is near 1km2. Occupies 8 percent of the area that mentioned above.
8
PROJECT/ PROPOSAL By the reorganization of infrastructure that we could set free part of the residual land in the node back to use. For the canal, there are 12 existing highway exits, which is redundant in the current situation. After demolishment highway exits and relocation part of the highway underground, we have three sites that can provide waterfront experience that is so rarely found in Sao Paulo. For the railway, we rearrange the rail track on one side to recover lands.

2. INFRASTRUCTURE REORGANIZATION
3. BLOCK REFORM
4. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The site we pick for the project is this one that has three directionality, and site is split into two parts. Two highway split from the ramp on the waterfront, crossing rail track branches in the neighborhood area, the rail tracks break the block into two isolated one.
The main idea of the infrastructure reorganization is relocate the mass transportation that used to be in all the three directions to the left one, transform the right one to a boulevard that is pedestrian dominant, and the horizonal one to a liner green park using the recovered land.
New blocks wil be refromed after the infrastructure reorganization. Especially for the site on the south, isolated blocks are fixed.
Through the development on site, the whole project could work as a network by the transportation linkage. The development will revitalize the whole area as anchor points, and release the current pressure from the city center. 10
PROJECT/ ELEMENTS Three elements consist the whole project: one recreational bar across the river connecting a social hub by the pedestrian boulevard.
11
12
PROJECT/ SITE 2 There are 10 meters height difference from the north to the south on the second site. Our approach is – first combine the rail track to one side, then keep the elevated highway as it is, but create a continuous surface that goes along with the highway, covering the commercial and public amenities beneath. In this way, we diminish the height difference between the elevated highway and its neighborhoods. The surface then evolve into a multi-layered circle with mixed program and public space - a social hub.

EXTENSION OF SÄYNÄTSALO TOWN HALL (ALVAR AALTO, 1949) LOCATION DATE PROPERTY INSTRUCTOR
SÄYNÄTSALO, FINLAND SEP.2017-DEC.2017 ACADEMIC INDIVIDUAL WROK TOSHIKO MORI, HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF DESIGN
SPECIFICATION Säynätsalo Town Hall was one of the masterpieces designed by Alvar Aalto. It used to serve as the municipality of the town. As population declined rapidly during last decades, town hall lost its prosperity. The aim of this project is to come up a new senario for the future of town hall, through introducing new programs to the existing building as well as develping an extention building.
23
24
CONTEXT/ TOWN HALL Säynätsalo Town Hall underwent significant restoration work, becoming a legallyprotected landmark the following year.
CONTEXT/ LOCATION
CONTEXT/ PROGRAM
The town of Säynätsalo, located on a small island in central Finland’s Lake Päijänne, was first laid out in 1945. A few years later, the community organized an architectural competition to find a design for a town hall to complete their new municipality which was, by then, the home to around 3000 people. The civic complex was to comprise a council chamber, local government offices, a community library, staff apartments, and retail space that would ultimately allow the functions of the town hall to expand beyond their original parameters.
25
Aalto’s winning proposal for the project follows the traditional European courtand-tower model of a civic center. The complex consists of two wood-framed brick buildings: the rectangular library block and the U-shaped government building. These two buildings act as a retaining wall that allowed Aalto to fill the central courtyard with earth excavated from the slope of the site; thus, the courtyard is lifted one story above the surrounding landscape.
26
PROJECT/ CONCEPT
PROJECT/ EXPLODED AXON
Winery and sauna are two major program of the extension building. A winery that provide bottled wine storage and tasting area and a public sauna that also benefits local people. On one hand this could be a opportunity to develop local tourism by combining culture and natural resources, on the other hand it could relieve part of the social issue like the aging population and recessing local economy by providing jobs and demanding.
27
PROJECT/ SCHEME The architectural scheme is to hide most part of the building below grid to show a modest attitude to the existing building. The exposed and above grid part are determined by the space function. Circulation on the site is also taken consideration – one plaza for traffic circulation, another one for public activity, and one path (emphasis the existing footpath as a gesture to the hidden building but also as benefit to local people).
SITEPLAN
28
PROJECT/ MATERIAL Wood and brick are major materials of Town Hall. Same in the extension building, wood and birck are applied to present different spacial demands. For space like the entrance and wine tasting area, there is exposed wooden structure and large skylight; whereas in sauna cell, a more private and enclosed space is rendered by wood and side skylight.

PROJECT/ OLD AND NEW Connection between the existing building and the extention lies in the following aspects. Frist, the two have a programmatic connectivity. For the town hall, I keep most of its old program, adding more residential space to accomodate the tourist demand as well as a restsurant on the ground floor. Winery and sauna in the extension serves as a recreational place for people who visit town hall. Secondly, the old and the new building are spacialy correnspond to each other. The major plaza connects directly with stair from sencond floor platform of town hall and the entrance of extension building. The plaza also interupt the South to North path that brings people to this new center of gathering.

VIEW FROM AMPITHEATER
CONTEXT/ LOCATION
CONTEXT/ TRAFFIC
As an internationally renowned tourist city, Nanjing has abundant tourism resources and it is one developed tourist city. Among all the natural scenic spots, historical sites and monuments, the area of Purple Mountain are called Zhongshan scenic area, which is the largest tourism spot of Nanjing. The adjacent Xuanwu Lake is the largest water area in the city.
The site is adjacent east to Longpan Road, which is the main road of Nanjing inner ring. From north to south, there are Zhongyang, Xinzhuang and Gangzicun traffic nodes that connects site and the city center. In addition, Jiuhua Tunnel passes by the site under Xuanwu Lake; metro line 3 and planned line 4 pass though the north and southeast of the site, all of which would provide tourist and citizen convenient public transportation.
With the urbanization of process of Nanjing, Purple Mountain and Xuanwu Lake have been gradually developing from a surburban graden outside the old city into a large public green space surrounded by both new and old city districts. The 35 square kilometers large, continuous landscape has became a "central park" of Nanjing.
The traffic analysis formed my basic understanding of the traffic situation in the site : 1. Although a major road is near the site, the traffic is not smooth between site and the city center as the connection nodes are already overload. 2. There should be convenient path from metro station to the site as well as a pleasant walking system for pedestrian. 3. The free footpath along the lake shore should be preserved.
The location of this project is right on the node of the mountain-lake axis, which is also the center of "central park". Therefore, the Scenic Spot Tourism Distribution Center has the equivalent significance in terms of forming landscape and highlighting the city context feature as well as its cultural and spirtual fuctions.

Famous for its urban structure of "Landscape City", Nanjing combines natural scenery with urban life in an ideal way. To fully show this city charm to tourists, the main part of this project-the performing theater- is designed to be an half-opened ampitheater, which is also the renovation of the existing building(sun palace). In this amphitheater, Xuanwu lake is the set, city center is the background and Purpule mountain is the curtain.

SPECIFICATION Silently lurking under the land of vibrancy, the building is like a gentle creature, attracting people to explore. The inside of its "body" is a world of art; the ground it diving in is a city of culture. The culture and art center including: 1000-seat theater multi-objective hall with 300 variable seats an art cinema
52
CONTEXT/ THE CULTURAL AXIS As the ancient capital of China, Nanjing enjoys a worldwide reputation for its history and culture. The site for the Art and Cultural Center is located in the Changjiang Road Historical and Cultural Block, adjacent to the Meiyuan Historic Community. Located at the end of the cultural axis of Nanjing, the project is an other large public cultural facility and also a new landmark.. A number of important public and cultural facilities and tourist attractions are along the axis as shown below.
CONTEXT/ INFRASTRUCTURE TRAFFIC FLOW
As one of the major roads in Nanjing, East Zhongshan Road connects the city expressway directly with the city center. Changbai Street is the route of several public bus lines, which also plays an important role in municipal traffic. Hanfu street is the main road for Meiyuan community to connect with the city. The design need to take the heavy traffic condition around into consideration.
POPULATION COMPOSITION The composition of population in the district is relatively complicated. Besides a number of public facilities and tourist spots, there are quite a few residential communities and office building in the area.
PUBLIC SPACE Although there are many public facilities in the block, public space is not enough compare to the passenger flow volume. Sometimes especially in holiday, crowed people migtht even block the traffic at the tourist hotspot - the old President Palace. To relieve traffic pressure and disperse pedestrian flow, several public spaces should be provided in peoject site. 53
54
CONCEPT
The project is aimed to create a cultural facility with public space as much as possible for citizens visiting and recreation, and consequently bring vigor into the block, meanwhile balancing the pedestrian pressure from surrounding public facilities.
CONCEPT/ GENERATION PROCESS
55
1.EXTEND THE AXIS Being at the end of the historical and cultural block, the site is perfectly divided into two parts by the axis.
2.CUT FOR ENTRENCE Street corner is the easiest access to the site. Squares at the corner signify the entrances and whould minimize the overwhelming feeling of the building.
3. PUSH FOR OPEN SPACES The corresponding open sapces leave the heavy traffic in south and the small garden in north a breathing space and would draw pedestrians inside the site easier.
4. PENETRATION OF URBAN SPACE Transparant enclosure with the lifting roof visually lightening the volumn, enable visitors to enjoy urban view from different angles.
5.CURVE THE ROOF One roof is bent to the ground for easy crossing, which would bring people into the building and activate the site.
6. PLACEING FUNCTIONAL VOLUMNS Three major functions - a main theater, a multiobjective hall and an art cinema - are placed into the building envelope.
7. LOWER HEIGHT FOR ABUNDANT SUNLIGHT NEARBY. To minimize the adverse impact on the sunlight of the residential buildings in the east, the main theater lower its east side to 12m.
8. OUTDOOR STAGE FOR PUBLIC ACTIVITY. Various activities can hold on the out door stage. Its a place where citizens and nearby residents can enjoy their urban life even when the main part of the culture and art center is closed at night.
