The site is located about fifteen minutes walking from the city center and is next to the historic railway path that transports the raw material from the mining industry to the outsides and into the port. The surrounding area is mostly configured by low-rise residential buildings with the exception of some medium high and one high rise building. The project envision to be a key culture knot in the future setting. After the closure of mining site and cargo rail road infrastructure, the brown field can be transformed to a series of green spines, connecting all public space and culture venues across the city.

The second step of the cycle will then be a museum and gallery, where the creation could be displayed and shown to everyone. Even though visual con nections normally take a major part of the way people perceive art works, the designed space allow the natural daylight to pass through the entire museum area, to activate “time” as another key dimension of art appreciation, to stir up the sensations of other senses - touchness, texture, temperature, humidity and sounds.
The organization of the build ing plan is a show case of how the type of open plan could allow and trigger the creation cycle of arts to happen. We envision the culture center at Antofagasta should not only be a shelter for art to be exhibited, but an incubator where for arts to be created and inspired, a public gathering forum for people to exchange their thoughts and emotion, a medium that allow form of arts to be transformed and re-in terpreted.
The cycle of art starts from the workshop, where all kinds of artists - professional, ame ture or general public create the arts through all possible mediums. The workshop space is the womb for creation.

With the central double/triple height space, the building can have better pas sive air ventilation system that can lift and pump out the hot air from the roof opening.
Learning from the building principles to create a passive thermal comfort environ ment by local ancestors, this project put together the architectural knowledge passed down through generations, with contemporary renewable energy devices.
With the implementation of the an addi tional roof layer, wind can go through the space in between and help cool down the roof panel heated up by the sun light.

Local weather resiliency vegetation planted above and under the ground level plaza also contribute the biophilic design principles to public hospitality and health awareness.
Operable windows inserted between roof structures and ground edge can further improve the air ventilation, to increase the inflow of fresh air from outside.
The combination of extended roof, eaves and set back building facade can help to cool down the temperatur, to create a comfortable social and public space.
By sunken down majority of spaces, direct sun light access will be limited. The soil volume can function as thermal mass to keep the space at lower temperature.

2021 Amsterdam Cycling Bridge Competition Non Architecture | Amsterdam, Nethearlands
The Netherlands are renowned for their popular biking culture, which made the country a world reference when it comes to cycling infrastructure. The city of Amsterdam embeds the value of slow mobility and biking, but today it lacks a cross river connection for cyclists and pedestrians. As designers, how can we think of a bridge that would match the conflict ing interests of citizens and authorities? How can a bridge become an architectural icon for the waterfront of Amster
Helijx02
Historicallydam?
the Dutch capital has developed along the south shore of the river Ij, growing along the water and expand ing in a radial way. The area across the water was for a long time neglected, mainly operating as an industrial zone. In recent years, Amsterdam-noord acquired a new focus for its proximity to central hubs and key destinations. While development is boosting, and further growth is still planned, the living density and attractiveness of this neighbour hood are transforming it into one of the hotspots of the city. For the densest areas of Amsterdam Noord, river crossing is operated via ferry, with very strong limitations in terms of availability, speed, and capacity.
Thousands of daily commuters must wait for the ferry in dedicated terminals, with an overall spent time up to 20 minutes and an often very crowded ride. In some locations this service is available only in given timeframes, leaving them com pletely disconnected at night time. The development of biking and pedestrian bridges, tunnels and cable cars have been considered by local authorities. There had been a continuous ongoing discussion for years, with a wide range of strate gic documents and studies that compared benefits and weaknesses of each solution. A crucial issue is the cruise termi nal, currently located in a very central area of the city, in direct conflict with the possibility of a bridge. Additionally, the Ij is one of the main water routes for freight boats, with very strict requirements for container height and accessi

Accelerated by the latest-opened northern extension metro line, Amsterdam noord constantly booming for future dwelling and invest ment object. On top of the 7/24 running shuttle ferries, a smoother and higher efficiency way of bringing people across the river should soon enter the horizon of future city transportation networks.
it forms a biological archipelago that helps to maintain the bio-diversity and natural habitats with urban area. The new bike bridge should also act as a biological passage across the IJ river.
Along one of the busiest waterways in the world, so many architectural destinations could be found spread out on both banks, most of them concentrated within the ring of A10 highway, behind centraal station. From the headqua ters for Clavin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, Silodam, REM Eiland, the Eye to NEMO, the IJ river is actually a contem porary architectrual wonderband never cease to surprise us with unique-designed architecture piece.
One of the dutch city-rural balancing features is the natural land in-between built-environments . From multi ple scales of green open ground to open waterbody in all shape, Amsterdam offer its citizen a rather close distance to the experience of nature. From city wildlife perspective,

The bridge itself could actually “embrace” the water.
After in-depth study of the site surroundings, the stra tegic location of the IJ linkage could potentially bring peo ple on both banks together and form a new mix-used living neighborhood. Can the bridge itself adds other uses to existed city facilities?
The key concept of the Helijx is to turn the limitation of river-crossing physics into its unique advantages. Ramps’ rise and run the length determined the length of the path, while the buildable site area is limited on both banks.
Instead of dodging between buildings, the Helijx take on a more water friendly engagement - water embracing. To reach designed height for container cargo ship to pass, the spi ral structure can not only provide cyclist with multiple panorama views along the journey, but also function as a gesture of water embracing. The elevated paths lead people toward the water, while forming a protection from the busy shipping passing along the IJ river.

3 Plan - Multi-functionals water playground
As a spatial organizer, the path of the bridge divide the on-shore and off-shore area into several zones, each of them can function as a water playground. From it’s peak to landing on both side, several panorama platforms, seating areas and water jumping decks pop out along the entire journey. The north and south pool could served as public pool, a SUP training ground, a water motor cycle perfor mance stage, a charging center for yacht and ferries, and more.

1 Mass Decease in Our City
Data in the states shows that people living in the urban cores of large metropolitan areas comprise more than half of residents who live in the counties with the highest COVID-19 prevalence. Residents of outer suburbs, smaller metropolitan areas, and rural America represent far small er shares of those living in high-prevalence areas. Persons living in large-prevalence counties are also more likely to be urban core residents. In contrast, fully two-thirds of those living in lower-prevalence counties reside outside of urban cores and their close-in suburbs.

Cross-disciplinaries Landscape + Urban Design Studio | Bogota, Colombia
2019 PennDesign LARP 704 Studio
This studio is a case study which seeks to formulate alternative urbanization scenarios and explore new design tools that will guide urban growth whilst simultaneously fostering habitat conservation and restoration in a symbiotic manner.
The Bogotá Studio is part of a larger research initiative in the landscape department at Penn. Richard Weller’s ‘Atlas for the End of the World’ has audited land use in the world’s biodi versity hotspots and identified the conflict zones between urban growth and biodiversity in these hotspots. The Atlas has identified that over 90 per cent of the major cities in the world hotspots are rapidly expanding in direct conflict with endangered species, and doing so in a rel atively unplanned manner. In association with the McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology the research is now focused on a set of 33 of the biggest of these cities, more or less one in each hotspot. In June 2019 the landscape department will host delegates from these cities along with representatives from the UN and major conservation NGOs to discuss how destructive sprawl into biodiverse landscapes can be mitigated.2 Bogota, within the Tropical Andes hotspot has been selected as a case study in this research project and is supported by the University of Pennsylvania’s Global Engagement Fund.

Without a an environmental/territorial/urban vision, it is not difficult to foresee that ‘business as usu al’ growth will result in a fragmented and dysfunctional urban system, in the virtual elimination of the remaining ecosystems, the loss of valuable agricultural land, the reduction of the production of flowers, and the encroachment of urbanization on sensitive habitats located at the urban fringe, on ecological cor ridors and patches, with a significant loss of biodiversity.
Bogota is the capital of Colombia and sits within the Tropical Andes hotspot where there is severe conflict between biodiversity preservation and rapid urbanization.
The project is a case study which seeks to formulate alternative urbanization scenarios and explore new design tools that will guide urban growth whilst simultaneously fostering habitat conservation and resto ration in a symbiotic manner.

The gentle topography of La Sabana, its mild climate, rich soils, and availability of water, with an area of 1,641.6 square miles, pro vides Bogota with a large amount of cultivable farmland, including the production of flowers -the region’s main export product-, supplying the huge demand of fresh-cut flowers in North America. While Colombia is the second largest flower produce country of the world, the Bogo ta area produces 76% of all the fresh flowers in Colombia.
3 La Sabana as Productive Landscape
The agricultural landscape of La Sabana is not only produc tive; it is also a cultural symbol of Bogota’s identity. How ever, due to its relatively low efficiency, the sprawl of the flower industry and lack of public transportation, the identity of La Sabana is eroding. Moreover, Bogota City is now import ing a large percentage of food from other countries and local farmers and flower workers are poorly paid. Based on our research, Clombia should strive to become like the Nether lands, which produces 5 times more potatoes and four times more flowers than Colombia with only 4.17% of its agriculture land.

The gentle slope and abundant wetland resource of La Sabana not only make it a perfect land for agriculture but also make it easy to be urbanized. According to 2050 demographic projections, there will be 4 million more people in Bogota and around half of this population will likely live in self-constructed settlements. Without intelligent urban planning it is not difficult to foresee that ‘business as usual’ growth will result in the virtu al elimination of the remaining ecosystems, the loss of valuable agricultural land, the reduction of the produc tion of flowers, and the encroachment of urbanization on sensitive habitats located at the urban fringe, on eco logical corridors, and patches, with a significant loss of biodiversity.

Two secondary ecological corridors and the variegated riv er system of the site provide opportunities to develop a sus tainable water management system and a green space system. By collecting water at the foot of cloud forest (highlands), building rainwater collection system through green boulevards, and expanding the wetland buffer at the sides of the two rivers run through the site, more water is collected for future uses, the urban wastewater and agriculture wastewater are recycled and filtered by the wetland and green streets. The linear green space system connects the Green Heart and the highlands at the north and provides essential animal migration corridor. Alameda, the city bike lane system, is also proposed along with the public green space, e.g., Green Heart, flower fairground and linear river park, to activate the open green space.
6 Green and Blue Corridors - A Comprehensive Environmental Infrastructure
Ecological corridors feed into and extend out from the Green Heart. Through a series of wetlands the Green Heart also con nects to the Bogota River, which we also propose as a riparian corridor of landscape restoration. This “Blue Vein” provides opportunities to develop a sustainable water management system and a green space system for the whole city.

We introduce high-yielding experimental agriculture fields and vertical greenhouses, supported by research institutions, and in proximity to new public Universities, and flower/agriculture fairground, and conference centers and a food distribution center. We are hoping this area can revitalize the food cultiva tion industry and culture in the future. By verticalizing agricul ture production, less land can produce more flower and food, crops that require different sunlight condition can be arranged on different levels, agriculture production can also be rotated easily. We also introduce international agriculture fairground landscape, conference center, agriculture expo programs, and flower labor union center into this area. In the short term, this program will invite more foreign investment to the flower indus try. La Sabana Productive Components
Agriculture of La Sabana is not only an important economic activity but also a cultural component of Bogota’s history and more recently so is flower production. However, productivity is low compared to other agricultural and flower production cit ies/nations, farmers are making low income, and large tracks of land are underutilized.

We envisioned the investment in such strategic infrastructure as a unique opportunity that will allow:
b) Providing efficient public transportation to the Airports and new districts. The city will be connected with the region, not only by the Metro system, the regional roads, the pedestrian and bike friendly links, but also by a light rail which take ad vantage of a right of way of a defunct rail way that for decades was the main linked Bogota to the lowlands and the internation al markets. BRT and bus systems, and bike lanes supplement the mobility framework, and provide easier internal connection.

This new airport is meant to handle predominantly cargo, leaving the existing airport for passenger travel. We propose a new air port city as a generator for the economic growth and ecological innovation for Bogota. Also, the building limit of the flight path makes the north and the south side of the new airport an appro priate location for industry, high-tech services and manufactur ing for Bogota.
c) Providing community-based stewards such as schools, hospi tals, libraries, sport facilities, etc., close to mobility systems, as also to prevent urban encroachment in the periphery of the districts onto agricultural land and protected areas.

16 View through the future La Sabana
Digital05 Counterpole
Libraries are one of the most fascinating architectural examples of the history of mankind. As the library of Alexandria and the more recent masterpieces of contemporary architecture, the library has always been the center of collection of collective memory. It has always been the place where human experiences could be preserved, crystalized, made eter nal. They could be passed on from ancient to new generations. In a way, the library has to do with eternity. It connects thoughts and experiences beyond space and time. It does so because it is a place, which human beings build in order to draw from the experience of their predecessors. It also does so because first of all the library is a great information
Therefore, what is the future for libraries? What is the library of the future? On the basis of these questions, the University of Genoa is delighted to launch Future Library. This is the design com petition that invites young people from all over the world to think about the future of places dedicated to learning and knowledge. Through architecture, they will design a completely new model of learning space.
Future Library Competition by CODE Honorable Mention | Genoa, Italy
Upcollector.todate,
history has been passing on such information through the union of paper and ink: books. Books used to need a specific archiving and consultation space. However, in the era of dematerialization, of virtuality and of the 4.0 world, information has become an impalpable sequence of codes. They are intangible sequences that any device can consult and decode in any moment and any place. Consequently, on one hand the virtual space is expanding. On the other hand, the physical space is losing ground. Now, including all the places that used to be constant elements of humankind over the centuries have to change connotations and features. The library is not a place of preservation and consultation any more. This is because now the access to information goes beyond books.
Therefore, the project position itself on this infinity dia logue. Furthermore, by deploying digital interface within the iconical industrial framework, to set up a pitching point between individuality and collectivity, public and pri vate, the solidity of knowledge storage and the fluidity of information flow.
When we look back into human history, from the establish ment of the first library to contemporary library archi tecture design towards the infinite future, the essence of a library as space has always lain between two key elements - individual knowledge storage and collective information sharing.

2 Strategy - A reversed bound of space and activities
Towards the future library, the project aims to demon strate the reversed relationship between the sub-pro grams and its spatial quality in the library. In the past, conference room and meeting room were all designated for the exclusive, private and formal meeting, while com mon study tends to be more open and public inclusive, welcome any kind of informal engagement to happen. Collectivity
Under the over-exposure of information flow along with and hyper-access to «the digital cloud», this bound could be reversed. In the digital era, the definitions of space tend to be fluidity, the boundary between individuality and collectivity becomes blurry, the difference between private and public now is not defined by the transparency or the enclosures of the space, but the accessibility to digital tools.
