Imagine reorganizing open Spaces in the context of Autonomous Vehicles

Contribution：80% design concept,mapping,site analysis,strategy,detail design,modeling

Contemporary urban white-collar workers, represented by young people living in first-tier cities, are facing great pressure.With the development of technology, the research related to Autonomous Vehicles is constantly progressing, The spread of Autonomous Vehicles is just around the corner.

So we wondered if it would be possible to apply urban design into the context of Autonomous Vehicles spread, which may help alleviate the widespread stress and improve the quality of life of people in big cities.

Redesign the landfill to promote the balanced development of the community

Urban Design and Landscape Architectural design Group work

Instructor: Li liang

Contribution：80% project leader,mapping,research,problems,strategy

Beijing,the capital of China,is an international metropolis with ancient and modern cultures.There are neat clean streets and rich entertainment life. Fast pace life take over People's daily life, However, behind the city's highspeet operation, landfills and incinerators scatter around the city, working day and night, quietly bearing the waste produced daily by its densely populated population.

Nowadays, there are 37 deomestic garbage treatment facilities in Beijing,with a daily treatment capacity of 22,000 tons. These land acts as the city's garbage can and are roughly closed when they reach the limit of affordability. But at the same time, its impact on ecology, cities and society is continuously going on...

Mapping of Waste Treatment Facilities

On average, every person produces one kilogram of garbage per day. With the workflow of Garbage transport,most waste end up burried or burned into landfills

These waste treatment facilities, in a way, play the role of a big trash can for the city.

03 Urban village reborn

Industrial revitalization of a dying village Urban Design and Landscape Architectural design Group work with Fan Yufei Location:Houqi Village,Beijing Time:2016.07-2020.10

Combining location advantages, transform the dilapidated village into a furniture distribution center

Instructor: Ding Yufei

Contribution:50% site analysis,design analysis,birdview drawing

"Urban Villages" in Beijing or other megacities in China has formed an incredible urban scene. On the one hand, it exists to provide necessary spaces for people coming to the city, who have made great contributions for the development of the city. On the other hand, the "village" they are living is becoming an extreme contrast from the modern city they built. The redevelopment of these villages cannot be only rigid demolishing-rebuilding process. An appropriate re-development always starts from the core: The villagers.

Houqizhuang Urban Village

The village is located in the South fourth Ring east Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

It's very convenient for both entering the city and contacting the suburbs.

RegionalAnalysis

Employment density contour line reveals the employment trend is significantly centralizing, which has inhibited the development of Houqi Village. However, Houqi Village locates in the very place of transportation junction in Beijing. Thus, which industry can offer new job opportunities while utilizing transportation advantages?

04 Boost Vitality at Night

Deal with the embarrassing situation of unused Shanghai people's park at night

Micro-update of People's Park to improve urban vitality at night

Urban Design and Landscape Architectural design Group work with Chang Shengran and Li Yi

Location:Renmin Park,Shanghai Time:2019.08-2020.06

Instructor: Wu Ruohao

Contribution:60% design concept,mapping,issue analysis,plan,strategy

Shanghai People’s Park, one of the most popular site, located in the center of Shanghai, is next to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. It is surrounded by many ancient architectures and internet-famous shops,which attracts a large number of tourists sightseeing here.

In addition,There are lively blind date activities during the day. Howevre, at night,people are crowded outside the park shopping,dancing,drinking and so on,but the use of the park is low.

We find out the reason of the low vibrant at night and come up with the idea to boost the nightlife vitality!

Reorganize the subway stations, sum them up into one commercial complex.

Make use of the height difference to build an outdoor cinema.

The commercial street in the complex during the day makes shopping easier and ensures that visitors never lost when they find the entrance of the subway station.
