Madla-Revheim Masterplan Proposal / MVRDV + Space Group
Location: Stavanger, Norway +Year : 2013 Architect / Urbanist: MVRDV with Space Group Client: Stavanger Kommune Environmental Engineer: NorConsult Photographs: MVRDV + Space Group Program : 780 Ha Housing Masterplan (4000 houses) including public spaces and .sports facilities
The city’s goal of the project is to develop a sustainable growth model, envision housing, commercial sectors, plan for transportation and provide amenities for residents and visitors. 4,000 housing units on the edge of the 780 acre site, preserving the heart of the development for open, green space, public programs and sports . facilities
Identifying two clearly defined zones – a green zone and an urban zone – allows concentrating development along the perimeter of the site in order to realize the collective quality of a large scale common space, a recognizable quality at .the heart of the development: Madla’s Green This allows for the development of a unique character that combines the inserted urban .qualities with the existing rural qualities
Madla Revheim is positioned at the point where the urban and the rural meet, the area seems perfectly suited to set a new example for how sustainable growth can be facilitated in .the Stavanger region
Due to the booming offshore industry the region has doubled its population since 1950 and is continuing to grow rapidly. Currently Stavanger/Sandnes has the second largest growth rate in the country. This makes . urban densification both a necessity and a desire

Zoning The complex includes 3 residential districts which are . united by a longitudinal garden together The design concepts of this garden are inspired by .traditional and old Iranian gardens Regional activities such as commercials, cultural and . religious buildings are designed along this axis Each district has a local park which is located in the middle part and joined to the central park by a pedestrian path. Main local buildings such as mosque, primary schools and open sport spaces are located in these parks and have easy pedestrian access to .residential blocks
Master Plan
The designer group traced 6 main strategies to design the master plan. First, having a main space to unite the elements of the complex, second, designing characterized spaces, third, observing the hierarchy from public spaces to private ones, fourth, observing the meaning of housing district, fifth, distribution of activities according to spatial hierarchy and structure of the complex and finally, having continuity in public green spaces.

Project Detail: Project Name: Port-Side Miami / PlusUrbia Design PlusUrbia Design : Architects Location: 1007 North America Way, Miami, FL 33132, USA Client: World Trade Center Miami + Port of Miami Type: Urbanism Area: 135000.0 sqm Project Year: 2013
PlusUrbia , an architectural and urban design firm, led the design of the new trade/commercial district in the Port of Miami. The team developed a concept coined “Port-Side Miami” to become the city’s new commercial district on the west end of the Port’s Dodge Island, which was designated by the “PortMiami 2035 master plan” to be developed into office space, retail, restaurants and a number of high-end hotels.
The master plan’s building disposition was designed to emphasize its iconic nature while using downtown Miami’s scale and intensity as reference. Port-Side’s master plan is envisioned as an immediate extension of downtown while maintaining its identifiable urban island feel.
In an invitation-only RFQ for a master plan, the designers were given a set of parameters that dictated an intricate solution by means of phasing the project over time in order to minimize the effect on the port’s functions and to retain the existing buildings until the last phase. In addition, PlusUrbia’s team, following the RFQ’s guidelines, refrained to design specific buildings and maintained a .generic/volumetric look to the design with the intention of later engaging other architects to provide the architecture
The proposal would become a destination by simply its physical attributes, engaging the water’s edge in a variety of ways (pedestrian and vehicular promenades, plazas and waterfront parks) supported by shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants on the water.
Endowed with a privileged location, the site affords its buildings with outstanding views of Miami, Key Biscayne and South Beach. As such, Port-Side was designed to become a key upscale destination for residents and visitors alike, including retail, office and hotels that would provide round the clock activity as well as supporting one of the busiest cruise ship and cargo terminals in the US. The project aimed to transform Port Miami into an anchor for South Florida as well as setting a new standard for waterfront development.
Green City Housing Complex / Chybik + Kristof Associated Architects
-Designed by: Chybik + Kristof Associated Architects -In Collaboration with BKK-3 -Size: 700 flats -Location: Graz, Austria -Green City Housing Complex project is work of Chybik + Kristof Associated Architects shaped for a location in Austrian city of Graz.
The concept is to create a clear hierarchy of public and semi-public spaces by means of simple volumes of apartment buildings. Their design is based on repeating the same three objects and interlinking them through a common yard ranked among three best projects. The main topic of the architectural competition for housing development, which touches the Styrian bio-corridor in the west, was to “live in the green”. The project is grounded on the logical continuity of various types of green spaces: whether it is the above-mentioned bio-corridor, the central park, smaller green square or the yard – a social terrace shared by several households. In this project, the architects tried to apply sustainable aspects of creating the environment.
creating the social sustainability within the project is understood as a way of forming the spaces so they can be used by a large number of inhabitants. Over the past 50 years we could see the development of the housing landscape, starting with anonymous housing estates of prefab concrete buildings
Master plan
By turning the facades of the houses to one another we can achieve sufficient sun exposure without overheating them.

AZPML. MEGA-CITY . Shenzen Bay
The project for a new mega-city in Shenzhen Bay is a unique opportunity to produce a new architectural expression for the Global Downtown of the 21st Century.
:SITE PLAN
:PLAN
:DENSITY Global downtowns throughout the world, generated by the pressures of consolidated • capital, population and infrastructure, aimed at attracting increased amounts of capital and human resources. The need provide high concentration and interconnection of employment and residential space to boost competitiveness can only be resolved on a unitary scale, rather as an expression of singular competing forces. The previous model of Downtown has become obsolete: the city of exceptions, based on the premises of corporate capitalism is unable to either enable or represent these emerging forces which is effectively turning the whole city into a single building. A new sense of unitariness and genericness will define the new generation of global downtowns. Shenzhen Bay will become the forerunner of a new breed of global new mega-cities characterized by a continuous physical system laid over natural and .artificial topographies

Project Detail: Project Name: Dongjiang Harbor Master Plan Entry by HAO and Archiland Beijing Architects: HAO / Holm Architecture Office Location: Tianjin, Northern China.
Type: Residential, Office, Commercial and Landscape Area: 185000 M2 (280.000 M2 residential, 40.000 M2 Mixed Use Office & Retail)
With the Dongjiang Master Plan we“ • aimed to develop a housing typology that allows for high density while emulating the natural surroundings of the site," said HAO founder Jens Holm. "The dune shape buildings create unique apartment layouts, all with direct sunlight, natural cross ventilation and direct connections to the adjacent .“sea and beach The Dongjiang Master Plan site is • situated within the Binhai area, 60 kilometers outside of the city of Tianjin in Northern China on a newly developed section of the coastline. The plan includes 280,000 square meters of residential development, with 40,000 square meters of mixed-use .office, retail, and public space
The dune-shaped residential development is designed to maximize sunlight, assuring that each apartment • receives a minimum of two hours of direct sunlight daily, while optimizing views from the individual .apartments as well as natural ventilation The western edge of the site provides vehicular access with drop offs as well as access to below-ground • parking areas freeing up the interior of the site to pedestrians, while the northern part of the site is .developed as a mixed-use office and retail development
The design evolves around the prime beach location with a central pedestrian boardwalk that services both the low and midrise residential housing blocks. The central boardwalk runs parallel to the beach, creating views of the water while taking the visitor through areas of gardens and retail within the new development.

The varying and spectacular forms that derive from this simple algorithm make it possible to fit a varied range of different dwelling types within the complex – the outer geometry is changed upwards through the building and consequently also in the flats, which range from two- storey ‘town houses’ and affordable smaller flats to exclusive penthouses in the peaks.
