ACADEMIC PROJECT I URBAN DESIGN FOR COASTAL CITY Search For A New Future For Den Helder Den Helder, Netherlands 2011
“City Balcony towards Sea� In this urban design proposal for Den Helder city coast, efforts have been made to create a pleasant coastal atmosphere that people of Den Helder are dreaming of. Being a coast city, the seaside is not welcoming and accessible for years. Therefore, the objective of the new plan is to integrate the seaside area into the city and create a preferable leisure place for local residents.

Potential Analysis_ A new harbour is proposed in the east of the Dutch royal navy base, providing space for relocating offshore and clustered development for other sea-related industries. And the canal is also changed to connect the dyke with the elevated new harbour to formulate a safer coastal defence system. By doing this, the area next to the cultural center will be freed for the creation of public space that allows residents to access to the seaside. Being a strategic location within the “green finger”, the city balcony will help to create a higher quality of living environment and promote city branding of Den Helder.

Before designing, the focus has been put on research on the major economic clusters in Amsterdam Metropolitan Region, then came to a conclusive map that shows the connections between the main hubs in the region. They are working together to support the regional economy. At the same time, these close connections between them lead to the emergence of final concept- corridors with different functionalities which are business, logistics and residential, while other spots that bring importance for the region are more autonomous and create the nucleus system.

- between cities of Ijmuiden, Haarlem, Hoofddorp, Almere and Schiphol - residents travel daily to their work destination - Schiphol by using main roads or public transport
Logistics corridor
- between Schiphol, Amsterdam port, Alsmeer and logistics companies in between - fast and comfortable communication throught infastructure (highways)
Financial & Business corridor
- connects Schiphol, Zuidas, Amsterdam Center (together with Sloterdijk) and Arena - fast and comfortable communication thought infastructure (public transport)
Nucleuses
- individual small towns
Aerotropolis + Corridors/Nucleus + Polder Landscape

Hoofddorp Centre is located in the residential corridor. It is an important area in the aerotropolis because of the vicinity to Schiphol, only 4.5 km away. Moreover, the majority of Hoofddorp residents are employees of Schiphol-related business. In the regional master plan, a proposed rapid public transport connection will bring about enormous effects on local issues of Hoofddorp and make it a strategic location for the development of the Aerotropolis.

A Lively Public Space as Civic Centre to Realize Urban Regeneration_
10 A Multi-modal Public Transport Hub to Improve Regional Connectivity_
ACADEMIC PROJECT III URBAN REGENERATION UNDER GLOBALIZATION TREND Regional Planning For South American Metropolis Buenos Aries, Argentina 2012
“Breaking the Boundaries” Urban Regeneration can be considered a wide transformation of an urban area which takes care of all aspects of living. These kind of project interventions are called “retrofit and infill”. With small interventions aiming at converting a typical urban area into a hybrid urban area. Urban regeneration of Pompeya district lies on improving functions and accessibility, upgrading the centrality from a sub-centre to a major nodal position of the southern city with the concentration of retails for low income group and business space for start-ups as an identity. And at the same time naturalization of the polluted Rio del la Plata River will be of importance for improving urban environment.

The goal in Pompeya is to realize urban regeneration in local scale. To achieve this, two solid boundaries in the site should be broke and dissolved, which are the heavily polluted post-industrial area beside the river and the warehouse area next to railway. Near the river, the waterfront is being naturalized and the industrial areas are undergoing a series of functional shifting so as to optimize the life condition here. Also, the residential areas are being densified in order to accommodate population growth. By doing so, the function in this area is mixed in a balanced way and the connectivity and accessibility is better than before without any urban barriers.

ACADEMIC PROJECT IV MASTER THESIS URBAN REGENERATION IN POST-INDUSTRIAL SITES
Renaissance of A Derelict Industrial Area (Former Capital Steel China) Beijing Western Periphery, China 2012-2013
“Post-industrial Land in Transition� Since late in the 20th century, with decline of heavy industries and traditional manufacturing, there has been increasing number of derelict industrial areas with great potentials to be redeveloped and integrated into the city. As for these industrial dereliction, the typical development mode is profit-driven, while the public access to the real benefits is limited. Therefore, it has been becoming an urgent need to come up with a collection of strategies both on city and local scales to tackle with this issue.
Emerging Demand from Rapid Urbanization_ During the industrialization process early in 20th century in most of Chinese cities, heavy industries with contamination were initially located in city periphery when they were founded. But nowadays, these industrial areas gradually became part of urban area due to the rapid and large-scale urbanization and city expansion. Since late in the 20th century, with decline of heavy industries and traditional manufacturing, there has been increasing number of derelict industrial areas with great potentials to be redeveloped and integrated into the city. As for these industrial dereliction, the typical development mode in China is to demolish and then rebuild to maximize the profit of government and developers. However, this development mode may cause many negative gentrification effects and target only on certain groups of people, while the demands from the general public are being neglected. Therefore, it has been becoming an urgent need to come up with a collection of strategies both on city and local scales to tackle with this issue.

Objectives_ The objective is to develop a collection of strategies for redeveloping this site that will balance the preservation of industrial heritage and implementation of new urban functions in a ecological way, and at the same time meet the emerging demands both from city and local perspectives. The approach is culture-led regeneration in this large brownfield, namely, culture will be catalyst for new development and generate new economy related to culture and creative industries. During the regeneration process, the concept of positive gentrification will be introduced to guarantee the benefit of public, promoting social equality in this decaying area in problematic condition left by post-industrialism.

Site Context_
Scale Comparison_
The site chosen for the project is the former Capital Steel Complex, known as the Shougang Group, which was the largest and most important steel production complex in Beijing. It has witnessed the history of heavy industry development in China since it was founded in 1919, and enormous contribution to the city development was made by this huge company which has been functioning as the pillar of local economy. Due to city image and environmental concern, the industrial complex has been reducing production until it completely halted in 2010, which indicate the end of a grand age of this steel industrial area, leaving a 8km2 industrial dereliction with heritage value and huge potential for redevelopment in a strategic location in western Beijing.

Project Site Shougang
= 3.9 km
8 KM2
The first step is to completely demolish the buildings on the site to maximize the availability for new development. Since the existing built environment is usually seen as obstacles. Although demolition can be very expensive, it is a simple way to get a complete vacant lot. Normally, the local residents do not have opportunity to be involved in the decision-making process, and the development strategy is often profit-oriented.
Problematic Development Mode: Profit-Driven_
4.9 km
After the clearance of the site, new urban programs will appear in an ‘airborne style’ which is based on the high-density and upscale principles, aiming at attracting high-class groups. The top-down decision-making process contributes to the short planning and construction period. The new development is often mixed by offices, hotels and luxury apartments.

A New Centrality Formed By Overlapping Layers The the mono-centric city structure and increasing urban pressure in the inner city area has resulted in the need for development of city periphery, in order to disperse the pressure to a certain degree, while the available land of the site provides diverse possibilities for redevelopment and potential to contribute to a more balanced urban development in western Beijing. In the big scale which covers the main urban districts of Beijing, the strategy is to implement three overlapping layers (ecological renewal, industrial heritage preservation and culture-led regeneration) to respond to emerging demands from the city and local advantages of the site itself. The proposed three layers indicate three key notions about this redevelopment project, together forming a new centrality in the west of Beijing.

Key Intervention: Creative City_ The concept of Creative City is introduced into the largest factory building within the area which was former steel-making plant. Small part of the building is demolished to give space to the new road. The idea is to preserve the steel truss and create a city-like environment within the building by inserting separate boxes as individual studios or galleries and even homes of the creative class who have just started their career. Two passages across the building, breaking the enclosed facade for public access. Besides, related incentives will be provided by government or the land owner to encourage entrepreneurship, creating a preferable air that is attractive to all class for investment.

Key Intervention: Market Hall_ The market place is converted from enclosed factory building. With proposed passages through the building and added new architectural elements that recall memory about the old structure, this place will be a bustling market place, facilitating daily needs of local residents, also providing place for exchanging creative handiworks by artists. And the former industrial railway outside the market hall will be partly preserved and semi-paved to become pedestrian space, integrated into the whole public space network of this area.

PRACTICE PROJECT I URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN
International Urban Design Competition First Prize Award (Collaboration with Paul Andreu Architecte Paris) Shantou, China 2013
“Return to Shantou” Shantou is located in the eastern part of Guangdong Provence. A Spatial Planning Strategy has been proposed for the larger area north and east of the city centre. The design approach is to realize a huge land reclamation along the shore of the sea, east of the city centre. And based on “Garden City” model, a new city coastal area will be developed with multiple centres, creating a pleasant environment for residents to live and to invest as well.

Water makes cities more attractive, especially in environments where water and green are in close harmony. Shantou area is in particular suitable for developing a “green-blue” city, a city that attracts people to live in and is sustainable on the long term. The natural environments of Shantou are of high quality. The rivers, mountains and sea create a diverse natural and ecological landscape. In a city with these outstanding natural and ecological qualities one has to be careful for the negative consequences of major developments. The New East Coastal Area can be considered as an urban extension that has limited effect on existing nature and ecology.

Context_ BAIC New Headquarters is a combination of research and development laboratories, offices and conference facilities. The building location is divided in two plots. The lower building volume on the northern side is a 24 meter wide dedicated laboratory building that contains most of BAIC R&D facilities. The higher building volumes on the south side contain most of the offices in 16 meters wide twin towers, which are united at the base by a grand lobby banqueting and conference hall. Both sides have been connected by sky bridges on different levels that relink the entire 80.000 square meter building program and provide shortcuts between all major functions.

PRACTICE PROJECT III URBAN PLANNING & URBAN DESIGN
National Capital Integrated Coastal Development Master Plan Jakarta, Indonesia 2013-2014
“Great Garuda� The Master Plan of the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development is a joint project by Government of Indonesia and the Government of The Netherlands. The Master Plan for the Integrated Coastal Development of the National Capital Jakarta aims to provide a solution for long term protection of Greater Jakarta against flooding from the sea. It creates new space to the National Capital, by expanding seaward in a planned matter, and also helps to solve the current connectivity problems of West-Java and Banten and addresses many of the current environmental problems of the coastal development of Greater Jakarta.
An Iconic Coastal Development_ The final implementation model and the preferred development of a waterfront city of 1.250 ha are elaborated in a spatial design. The design strives to develop a waterfront city with a maximum added value considering spatial ambitions from the city. This development of the waterfront city of “Great Garuda” provides a vista on developments for the whole coastline, resulting in a development framework for Northern Jakarta. “Upgrading existing sea defences” is a starting point. For the locations Pluit and Kali Baru pilot designs have been made that serve as examples of how reinforcement of the existing dike and spatial planning can be combined.
36
Coastal Defence_ There are three principle solutions regarding to coastal safety issue. First is to abandon the National Capital, which is obvious not feasible. Second is to build an onshore protection of high dykes closing the entire coast area, and this solution is feasible but will create more urban problems. And last solution is to built a giant sea wall offshore to protect the city from flooding. Based on these considerations, the offshore alternative is chosen as the basis for further design. This means designing an outer sea wall as a long term solution, integrated with a large retention reservoir in a revitalisation of the coastal zone.
An Iconic Land Reclamation Area_
37
The shape of the Great Garuda was chosen as iconic design for the planned coastal defence and land reclamations. The Garuda will protect the city and will bring safety and prosperity to the National Capital. It will offer Greater Jakarta a new image clearly visible and recognizable from the sky- a capital ready for the 21st century to be proud of and to be enjoyed by all.
38
Great Garuda As New Urban Development_
Coastal Development Integrated With Safety Consideration The Great Garuda will be the prime location for investors. For new residents it will be a new, modern place to live and for Jakarta residents the place to escape from the crowded city without travelling for hours, a place where they can spend some time on the water front with clean sea water and a fresh breeze. Poised in the middle of the great wing-shaped sea wall will be a new central city area, positioned as a natural extension of the central spine area of Jakarta, it will provide a spectacular and warm welcome to all who come to the nation’s capital.

PRACTICE PROJECT IV CONCEPT & STRATEGIC PLANNING
Conceptual Planning for Islands in Xiangjiang River Changsha, China 2014
“Celebrate the River” The competition is held by Changsha Urban and Rural Planning Bureau. The aim is to highlight the characteristics of Changsha City, and to strengthen the concept of “Landscape Islands City” while enhancing the image of Changsha as a tourism destination. Because of the natural scenery, special attention should be given to the opportunities of each island. This challenge has been the inspiration leading to an unique concept.
Each island has its own natural and / or human populations being respected during the formation of the ideas so that these become the foundations for this proposals. Where people are living on an island, the focus has been put on the integration of their settlements into the plans, trying to find ways to give these people greater opportunities to develop themselves and find new forms of employment in urban farming, hospitality, environmental management, tourism and so on. The natural components and each island, plant and animal life, are essential ingredients. A healthy ecosystem will be the backbone of the nature-driven, tourism, leisure, recreation and education strategy.
