HISTORY OF MARIN CITY: DISPLACEMENT OF CO-MAKING CULTURE Gateway Shopping Center Flea Market

CO-MADE MARIN CITY
Public Housing
Ship Yard
Distressed Public Housing
Spring 2022 Urban Design Studio | BERKELEY CED Individual Work Location: Marin City, CA Instructor: Geeti Silwal, Peter Pfau, Oblio Jenkins, Yao Lu, Ettore Santi
Marin City has been historically and systematically segregated, and is experiencing a high ratio of distressed houses as well as the lack of education and job opportunities. The neighborhood here suffer the most serious flooding issue in the Bay Area. The site of the former flea market, is now the Gateway Shopping Center, which is now declining. The project intended to transform the dead mall to a Making Hub, to bring back the Co-making Culture to Marin City. The Making Hub can serve as a center for recycling and renovating houses, and an educational and career training program for the local youth, as a self-sustaining model, to make sure the outer investment is truly spent on the people and the land of the low-income neighborhoods. Industrial and Maker Cluster providing professional makers and maker businesses with affordable workshop space, access to equipment and the opportunity to become part of a supportive community of fellow makers. The Education Cluster operates regionally as a resource of knowledge, and locally as the place where locals become experts on materials. An Exhibition Cluster integrate the Hub into the city and invite visitors and residents to come in.
1944 - SELF-CONTAINED HOUSING
1960 - FLEA MARKET
Marin City was developed to shelter shipyard workers, many were African-Americans. Residents developed a small-business hub in the neighborhood with black-owned stores and black service providers.
1990 - SHOPPING MALL
After war, while White families were able to relocate, AfricanAmericans were kept from these same housing options due to exclusionary covenants. Residents organized a windswept flea market took place every weekend.
The Gateway Shopping Center was developed on the site of the flea market, displacing it despite community protest. The change meant a loss in the “entrepreneurship op- portunities” the flea market provided to local residents.
The shopping center has struggled to re- tain tenants. Several stores have come and gone, and many of the stores are vacant.

COMMUNITY MARKETPLACE
COMMUNITY & BUSINESS
COMMUNITY MARKETPLACE The centre of the plan rebuild the Marketplace as an anchor: it serves as a ‘Community Center’ of sorts — a green, productive and philanthropic heart of the area.
LEARNING CLUSTER A school to teach vocations to a younger generation of makers and fabrication laboratories where students and residents can explore and innovate.
INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER People living in the area trade in their objects or donate them as a material to the recycle center. Thus, materials are exchanged between the recycle center, school, workshops, businesses and households for reuse and repurposing. There are many small businesses on the site, to help repair, sort, reuse and exchange objects.

LIVING WETLAND The Wetland restoration will last throughout the process of the systenatic changes in Marin City, in response to sea-level rise and flood in the approaching decades. A bridge is built to connet people to the waterfront.

FEED RICHMOND Fall 2021 Urban Design Studio | BERKELEY CED Teammates: Jingyu Ru, Zijing Sun Location: Richmond, CA Instructor: Margaret Crawford, Scott Elder, Ettore Santi, Pol Fite Matamoros
The Project is focusing on making the City of Richmond more sustainable places, convening multiple interest groups to achieve social, economic and environmental justice through building a community-engaged food system, which can not only satisfy the actual demand of local communities but also complement the food industrial structure of the Bay Area. The system would include three main functions to form the industrial chain: ● Farming on both normal farmland and toxic land. ● Food process/delivery. ● Bioenergy generation and food waste biodegradation. The system is expected to improve the ecological environment with bioremediation technology gradually, producing affordable fresh food to partly fulfill its own needs, in the meantime providing affordable social housing and thousands of community-engaged green collar jobs to involve vulnerable communities. Through the cooperation of multiple agencies and various ways of community participation, the living environment of vulnerable people would be improved practically and effectively.

WORKING-LIVING TYPOLOGY STUDY | Centralized to Individualized
URBAN VILLAGE CAMPUS
Summer 2018 "Light of West" Urban Design Competition Individual Work Location: Shenzhen, Guangdong Instructor: Yuhang Liao, Nan Chen Nantou Urban Village, negative space for the Shenzhen city, surrouded by Hi-tech Industrial area. Because of the low rent, there are a lot of young migrant talents living here. This project introduces an alternative to the sprawl of segregated residential and office buildings that are now being built in the city. This arbitrary division of living and working is strangling the start-up culture upon which any high-tech economy depends. "Layers Structure Modules" in Village Campus responds, not only to the fracturing of this vital culture, but also accommodates the diverse programs and individuals that operate within it. The modules constitute multiple experimental sites in which specific live-work models are reinvented to accommodate the various needs for individual live spaces and collective work areas.

REBUILD THE STAGE Spring 2022 Thomas Church Competition, 1st place Teammates: Shuqi Li, Jingyu Ru, Sen Du, Yaoyao Ding Location: Jacksonvile, FL
Inspired by the astonishingly indomitable spirit and determined effort of Jacksonville’s citizens fighting for their own rights, we propose the concept of “THE CITY STAGE” in the renovation design of James Weldon Johnson Plaza. Concept “THE CITY STAGE” has two levels ofmeaning. For the one hand, citizens in Jacksonville have been through a tough process to make themselves heard. They are no longer content merely to regain the political rights they were born with, but also desire to show the world their splendid art and culture. The design was centered on a big stage where the events take place. We place the audience seats at the south of the stage, so the city hall on the northside can become the backdrop for our stage. The relatively higher peripheral stage facing north is also expected to be a podium and viewing area of the possible civil speech. For the other hand, we treat the plaza as a cultural and historical center and the core of tourism system in urban design scale. We expect the plaza to be the first stop for tourists to depict the initial impression of the city and guide them to a further exploration. Tourists can view from the bridge of the activities and monuments and be led to either explore the plaza or begin their advantures in the city with the largest park system in United States. The underbridge area can be used as a covered promenade to the station and a hanging ceiling for the specific equipments, bringing more possibilities to stage setting.

TRIPLE INTERWEAVE Summer 2019 Urban Design Competition of National Committee The Honorable Mention Teammate: Liyu Mo Location: Nanning, China Instructor: Yuhang Liao, Nan Chen
In the past, Nanning thrived along the river. However, in the rapid development of the city, the stream in the site block was turned into a greenbelt culvert. The nearby residents could not feel its existence, and the relationship between people, cities, and streams gradually weakened. The design try to restore the stream and use it as a strong bond in the block by introducing three slow traffic system: walking, boating, and biking. Three systems interveave with each other and closely connected with the public life of the block, creating a variety of waterfront interfaces and public interfaces. The triple interface enable residents to enjoy the river in their lives and transform Nanning into a city surrounded by water

INTEGRATE THE EDGE Spring 2019 Architecture Studio | Canopy Design Individual Work Location: Hongkong Instructor: Hongduo Zhuo, Xiaonan Yang The site is located in an old area of Hong Kong. Most of the existing public space and commercial facilities are old and cut off by elevated roads, which has not matched the behavior of surrounding residents. In the high-rise environment of Hong Kong, finding a solution to survive in the cracks, providing compact and flexible architectural space, and improving the overall quality of the street experience is the hope of this design. The design re-deconstructs and organizes the existing three-dimensional traffic, public space, and vertical city in the existing space, making it closely connected with its surroundings. While retaining people's memory, it brings a brand new public space experience.
