01 NEW WEST END OF OXFORD Exchange term in Oxford Brookes | 2016 Autumun Urban Design Studio II Oct. 2016 - Jan. 2017 tutor: Laura Azevedo, Regina Lim individual work Site: Oxford, England

This project is following the previous urban planning of group work. One area is selected by each member of group as a framework to developed 2.1 Site Analysis 2.0 Existing Site Area deeply. Our group work will be introduced in other works of my portforlio.

Context A34

Midlands

Known as “The City of Dreaming Spires”, Oxford is globally recognized for its excellence in education and its rich heritage and history. The Oxford City Council has acknowledged the West End as an area needing redevelopment and it is believed to be of great potential in terms of creating the distinctive sense of a good place and a strong gateway to the city but currently isn’t being used to its full capacity.

VISION Based on the mixed-use plots in Studio 1, I hope to design more diversity in multi-dimension. Meanwhile strengthen the character of public centre, create lively and intriguing-designed public space. I also aim to build collective sharing neighbourhood with slow lifestyle and eco living environment.

Img.2.1 UK and Site Connections

Img.2.2 Oxford and Site Connections

Img.2.3 Green and Blue Networks

Our site is situated on the south west side of Oxford, 59 miles east of London. The site has good links to the train station, being at the north of our site and the A34 can be accessed, easily providing easy routes to the rest of the UK. We must consider this in our design as it means that, if the scheme is set out correctly we will be able to have a large catchment area for our proposed cultural amenities.

When walking our site you notice there is a lack of connectivity which hinders the way in which you travel throughout the site. At the moment the buildings in the site are grand and domineering, making the pedestrian feel alienated. This, the lack of legibility and the large block sizes give us the opportunity to create a new area in the site, which will be vibrant and be at a more human scale. At the moment the buildings in the site are grand and domineering, making the pedestrian feel alienated.

This site of West Oxford is interesting due to the way in which it is bounded by water however this isn’t utilised, or in fact seen in most of the site. With this in mind, we have decided to look at the ways in which we can introduce the blue network into our site. We found that there is a lot of green space at the bottom of the site by the ice rink however, again this is no being fully utilised. There are also small pockets of green space within the site but these are sparse and few and far between. Page 2

DO1 DESIGN THE DIVERSITY

WHY

Successful places – streets, spaces...– tend to have certain characteristics in common, one of the most important qualities among these characteristics is - diversity. a mix of design can contribute to the creation of more attractive places, increase vitality and character, and ensure the space is activated day and night.

Do1.2 Resilience Design plots distrubuted to different groups of architects generate a rich mix of building types and uses, which could also include building cooperative groups and/or self-builders, cohousing groups.

flexible design codes

Lively street frontage based on self-design codes

provide a degree of freedom for the locals to produce their own distinctive neighborhood within the framework to meet their own demands and priorities.

Since the ground floor plays the most important roles on influencing the active degree of street frontages, I aim to create more diversity and intriguing design along Oxpens Roads.

3 meters spaces will be given in front of the stores for selfdesigning area, as well as the facades of the store with 3 meters high. A variety of facades and heights along Oxpenns Street operators could design the frontages with their own identity on colors, materials, graffiti, decorations, and place the furniture in this area

DO2 SHARED &NAKED STREET WHAT

Naked Street – Create the naked street, which means Removing standard kerbs, barriers, highway signs and road markings forces motorists to use eye contact with other road users and pedestrians, for which they need to be travelling at less than around 30 km/h. And give the priority over to walking and cycling. The street is paved by the brick pavement and have potentials to run a variety of activities in different time.

DO1 DESIGN THE DIVERSITY

Shared Junction DO1

DO2

– The shared junction is creating a greater sense of uncertainty and making it unclear who has priority, drivers will reduce their speed.and the junction will be built on a bit higher level than the naked street, with the same pavement as the sidewalk in order to make drivers to notice pedestrians .

DO2 SHARED & NAKED STREET

DO3

WHY DO4

－ Recent experiments have found that removing the the conventional highway components of signals, barriers, bollards, bumps and signs achieve advantages for traffic movement, safety,less congested, accessibility and environmental quality. As is reported, the result is slower, more careful traffic, increased safety for cyclists and pedestrians and a more attractive urban environment overall—in which local architecture and culture prevails over standard traffic infrastructure. － Shared space design also avoids the cost of installing and mantaining a wide range of expenditure.

WHAT

develop urbanity sustainable and strengthen the character of public centre, create lively and intriguing-designed public space.

WHY

In original site, there is one ice rink, which is developed to one land mark and a leisure center in studio 1. Then I aim to strenghthen the function of public center to influence the surrounding neighbourhood. Create more lively and active public space since they form vital components in a city and affect the overall quality of life for the local.

Team Work contribute to the green productive corridors in Södertalje contribute to community garden in Södertalje Centrum Site: Södertälje, Stockholm, Sweden

CONTEXT

In Södertälje, the issue of social segregation and exclusion has been a prioritised question in the municipality for a long time. A total of 39% of inhabitants in Södertälje have a foreign background. Many of these immigrants arrived in Sweden as refugees escaping from wars in their home countries, having chosen Södertälje because of connections with peoplefrom the same background already present in the city. But apart from the ethnic fusion they need more job possibilities and enjoyable city life.

CPUL - CONTINUOUS PRODUCTIVE URBAN LANDSCAPES Urban agriculture involves the production of crops and animals in direct synergy or competition with urban activities and use of resources ( Berg,2001 –Clair Oude). This composition of production and recreational facilities increases the meaningful complexity of the urban fabric and is called a Productive Urban Landscape. In our project we aim to practive CPUL in the site to realizea a healthy and sustainable balance of local production and consumption, as well as the reduction of This reduction of embodied energy and social segregation.

This project aims to explore new productive urban spaces in Södertälje that will tackle spatial and social segregation in the city whilst approaching sustainable urban development.

——Agriculture Park in Södertälje

AGRICULTURE PARK PROPOSAL CREATING BIOLOGICAL CORRIDORS

The central idea of Agriculture Parks is to create biological corridors activating the existing green areas and linking them together. These corridors will have productive elements like Urban farms and community gardens but also recreational green spaces. The physical barriers such us highways and car streets will be adressed through architectural projects like green bridges and understreet tunnels.

public spaces problems:

abundant greenings but not used well

advantages:

There are many vacant or abandoned buildings or areas which could be better uesd.

problems:

public space without staying user

parking areas cut off the continuity

unactive neighborhood atmosphere

waterfronts

advantages:

There are many existing nice public spaces.

negtive environments along waterfronts

unactive interfaces to waterfronts, few stayig people

1.site The site is located in Södertälje city center, which is one part of corridor in large scale. City center consist both advantages and disadvantages from this area. Studying how to develop comunity garden in a dense space with social problem is one of our aim. registered residants in site : 1829 resource : http://www.hitta.se/

there are a large number of potantial greenings which could be combed with agriculture.

one commertial pedestrain with friendly environment

there are lots of potential spaces: underbridge , parking areas...

potantials:

Basen on urban farming, form continious greening system and create friendly neighborhood environment

Productive greenings could be used to connected seperate public spaces and in them, combining commercial activities.

Create commercial interface to attract people to stay here; make most use of waterfronts and vacant areas with productive landscape.

2.Public Area In this site, public area including public greening areas such as meadow, waterfronts...... and public grounds such as square, playgrounds...... as well as other vacant or available spaces such as parking field, abandoned field. public greenings: 45970.1 m² public grounds: 10218.7 m² vacant area: 11636.3 m²

CONDITIONS URBAN AGRICULTURE

4.1 Scale of Production Units Analysis 0.0018 ha [crop strip] 0.03 ha [allotment garden]

The scale of space decides the planting types and the spacial function. There is a difference between private and commercial production.

0.01-1 ha [farm:non-edible]

when designing a productive landscape the spatial configuration and technical requrements of production systems need to be taken into account. The present situation of organic fruit and vegetale production in the open should be taken as the refernce to genenrate production principles.

1-4ha [fruit farm]

The scale of production units for fruit, vegetables and ornamental generally ranges from 20 squares uo to 7 hectares. (LEI.2003) Different crops could be planted based on different scale.

2-8ha [allotment garden complex] 0.2ha [production plot on farm]

7.3ha [farm:vegetables in the open] scale of production units

4.2 Size and openness of community garden greening landscape park

In this project, the community garden should be emphasised the public ,the openness. The private yard is suitable to plant or be used among families while the strong public space with greening are more emphasised the ornamental, usability.

The degree of privateness or openness has a strong influence on planting types and spacial functions.

Therefore, community garden will be chosen in the public space but not the public degree to municipal level , which is the neighbourhood public degree. Moreover, the forms of community garden with different scales could differ flexibly, from planting pot, urban furniture to plot, farmland .
