Baoan district, located in the pearl river delta, has experienced rapid development in recent years, while the city has been plagued by rising sea levels and floods caused by severe and extreme weather. The rising sea level submerges the garbage collection points and seriously pollutes the environment. The project collects the steel garbage and fishery garbage generated by the traditional local industries, updates the abandoned old factories as the medium for the manufacturing of floating island components, and constructs a new urban garbage recycling system through the recycling of garbage.

Location Analysis Site Condition

The site is located in the airport area of baoan district, shenzhen, which has the huge potential to listed the focus of development after the shenzhen municipal government in the future.It is a large industrial area and export port of shenzhen, with relatively strong and intact industrial infrastructure system.The rapid development of industry,especially electronic products assembly and processing industry drives the exponential growth of economy, but also produces a lot of industrial waste... Industrial development brings more and more metal, plastic and other industrial waste, which is beyond the limit of urban waste treatment. Metal Garbage siege in inland city has become an urgent local problem.

Industrial Area Waste disposal

Under the greater bay area development plan, more of the ocean will be reclaimed to meet the needs of the growing population. But as time goes on, traditional oyster farming is threatened by pollution from Marine and industrial sources.The industry also produces a large amount of oyster shell and fishnet waste, which has not been taken seriously leading to the death of some Marine fish.

Current When typoon comes In the past

Our site is located in several industrial parks near the sea in songgang street. The garbage types in these industrial parks are mainly metal and plastic garbage, and they are suffering from and will suffer from the crisis caused by the rising sea level.

Design Generation

The layered diagram indicating the design progress of our team. We firstly generated the water direction line built by existing landform, finding that the top left part of the site contains relatively low sea level height hence would experience more water flowing during flooding. Therefore this part of site is chosen for further development. Each water running lines would eventually meet together to form a pattern, the intersection point in this pattern becomes what we call the water point. These water point is a location which needs more drainage. Hence we developed into our blue-green corridor design and a new street network. Smart sheds and new building fabric highlighted in red with original fabric in grey could fit this green corridor system in a suitable way.

Green Corridor --- Green Patch Framework

The Ecology of Landscape

The idea of the designed system focuses on the pattern of water and ecology system that is inspired from Forman's Ecoological strategy. The system represents a flexible, scenario-based approach for the proliferation of bio-connectivity. The method allows for the assessment of a range of scenarios based on varying land-use and water treatment practices. The blue-green corridors as the core links within the site act as the sponge of the city, connecting the green/blue patches (green areas, water system and urban fabrics) and improving the connectivity of ecosystem.

Shed Typology Matrix

The Smart Shed system is designed as natural system of urban fabrics for the basis of interventions, which creates the nodes and links to the blue-green corridors. The smart sheds create opportunities to develop a robust green network consisting of urban open spaces, public realms and green roof system integrated into urban green patches. In addition, it is investigated how the shed system can continue to evolve into vital social centre, which are well connected with the surrounding landscape and water system.

Smart Shed System Programs

Integrating land into architecture is a way to improve building performance and facilitate involvement of nature in the representation of architecture. It is a way to explore how to build harmonious relationship between human beings, urban contexts and nature. This concentration towards reconnecting local context, culture, traditions, and modern technologies enables environmental design methods to be integrated into phenomenological presence, stimulating new ideas to be generated during practice.

Emerging sustainable design strategies can shed light on the future development of landform architecture, thus allowing more productive and efficient systems to be integrated.
