Diverse workshop space will enlarge the field of economic types, especially in an industrial-based city Essen. Facing the life of long-tern reinhabiting a new country, culture, language. The fundamental and urgent issue is how to “make a living.” As the starting point of life in Essen, the way to assist refugees to blend into the local life and society is by providing working opportunities.

Mixed-use neighborhoods lead the living/working are centered in one area. To enlarge the possibility of human interaction and economic diversity by making a shopping street, a workshop industrial avenue, and a flexible marketplace encounter.

Farmland Section drawing

Farmland is one of the parts of the idea of self-sustaining. The self-sustaining aim to fulfill part human needs for a resource such as foods, energy, and water. By building up PV-panels shading devices to collect water and solar energy.

Also, the parking lot is a way to collect water and solar energy. Farmland is built for both food and scientific research.

Social Hub Section Drawing

In this project, the woody island is the social center, a circulation area that connects the other program. This area is the hub for various human social activities and social living spaces, including a dining building, research and study center, welcoming center, and dormitory. The design of Woody island was inspired by the land feature: woody and wet soil. So it elevates from the ground to minimize the damage to the natural environment.

Cabin Group Section Drawing

The cabin group aims to keep privacy and distance from the social area. This area includes diverse types of living space: duplex houses and studio cabins, which fit different needs for group size. Each house/ cabin is designed with a water collection system to capture rainwater.

Dexter rowing center aims to create spaces for athletes, public visiting, and boat storage. My design intends to blend the building into the dexter park site; the building itself is a part of the natural landscape instead of an “object” that sits on the dexter lake bank.

The citrus garden is a space for trans-passing, semi-indoor working. This is the intersection between different programs, a signage between life program and work program support for various activities: dining, drinking, meeting, working, event social interaction and entertainment, etc.

Citrus farming activities, visiting, seasonal fruits picking. Day use for both community members and public visiting.

Working station: working, meeting, social interaction. Kitchen outdoor seating, this area would connect to the kitchen area that can provide forest-like dining space for members of the public when the kitchen opens to the public.
