URBAN DESIGN CIJIN ISLAND REGENERATION

(Kaohsiung, Taiwan)

The transformation of Cijin's discarded waterfront into urban complement, through the principles of culture-led regeneration "Cijin Island" a typical product of a post-industrialized region, once a flourishing industrial center, now forgotten due to a shift in economic focus, a decline in demand for heavy industry and the lack of a succession plan for the region. This critical problem is twofold, a local economic recession and a gradual abandonment of the urban landscape built to support the industrial sector. A current analysis of the Cijin region explores this common problem faced in China's Industrial cities and the regions. Regeneration efforts in Cijin remain challenging and the government's plans on promoting Cijin as an "International Tourism Island" as the solution to revitalize the area has remained relatively unsuccessful. Two case studies, "Bilbao" in Spain and "Glasgow" in Scotland, are analyzed to provide a comprehensive regeneration proposal for Cijin Island. Both cities have delivered successful regeneration an intelligent and integrated urban regeneration plan that focused on a culturally led regeneration policy.

Urban Land Nexus

Even though Cijin Island is administered under Kaohsiung City, its geographic isolation could be used as an advantage to develop the area as an individual component. Thus, its ingredients, the functional spaces, and the network connection between these areas are even more critical for the Island's future development. Urbanization or other forms of the regeneration process is associated with special concentration and various cumulative actions of clustering and sorting. This form of action is the foundation of a related feature that is called the urban land nexus. Nexus is defined as a form of connections, a connected series or group. The intention of the project is to generate a cohesive approach aimed towards the entire island development. Only to agglomerate the island's individual functional areas, to create interlinking spatial quality that would bring cohesive development in the region. This 'interlinking adhesive' could be either tangible or intangible depending on the desired outcome.

CULTURAL HERITAGE (tangible / intangible) Restore and enhance cultural heritage

LOCAL RESOURCES (location / material) Take advantage on local resources

REBRAND THE CITY IMAGE

Rebrand the city image as a marketing strategy

BALANCED POLICY

Consideration of both the private and public sectors with balanced "top-down and bottom-up" policy

RESIDENTIAL ORIENTED LOCAL IDENTITY (avoid placelessness)

Provide local identity through the consideration for the local people as priority

The Anchor- Intergrated Community It is crucial to provide a desirable living environment in order for people to feel a sense of belongingness and take ownership of their surroundings. The current composition of the site involves a cluster of poorly built metal-sheet houses, wooden houses, brick houses and concrete houses. Flow of circulation is poor due to the unorganized growing cluster pattern. The basis of the bottom-up cluster pattern is to tailor to individual needs. However, the non-regulated cluster growth has resulted in a disconnected urban fabric and a lot of residue spaces, and has turned the area into an undesirable living environment. Certain parameters should be applied to regulate cluster of buildings. Unused open lots are the residues of the random fabric and are closed off from the public. These open lots are to be transformed into green pockets and courtyards, and they are scattered throughout the area with respect to its current setting. New circulation paths are created to allow better flow between the residential areas and to the waterfront; enhancing the environmental settings and the integration of public and private.

P.ď&#x20AC;ľ

The Anchor- Kit-of-Parts Residential Units Five residential typologies are introduced to control the bottom-up pattern; this is considered to be a balance between top-down and bottom-up systems. The five typologies are: single family unit A and B, studio unit, apartment unit and street front store unit. The five typologies reflect the current housing situation, but they are designed to be a kit-of-parts that can be easily plugged into the current urban fabric or composing a new block. Similarly, the five typologies can also replace any of the poorly built housing in the area. The resulted fabric is an integration of the old and the new. The mix of the five typologies is intended to increase the cultural and social diversity of the residents. Naturally, economic abilities and social behaviors are linked to the affordability of the five typologies. It is a strategic approach to maximize the diversity in order to create a big cultural melting pot. Diversity is essential to spark creativity and advocate a cultural-led community. Therefore, the integrated community will perform as a functional model for cultural-led regeneration of the island.

The Lure- Waterfront Facilities The connecting waterfront area of the Lure is packed with leisure programs - retail, restaurants, cafe, bars and a 'pop-up' cultural center that hosts and promotes the hidden culture of Cijin Island. Service programs for the aquatic recreational hub, such as public bathrooms, locker rooms and information centers, are also found at this location. These programs are temporary developments, to be taken down when the area is fully activated. Thus, shipping containers will be used as a building module. There are several advantages in using containers, lower construction cost due to the local abundance of containers and flexible arrangements due to modularity.residents.

The pop-up cultural center follows the characteristic of modularity in the area. Containers are stacked and programed into offices / archive room, small and large scale exhibitions, corner lounge, active zones and green space. These individual programs can be creatively and flexibly inserted into the main core steel structure to accommodate the surrounding environment. This cultural center is given the name to serve as a traveling center that could be easily 'pop-up' at any area. It is proposed that this creative architecture, with its essential cultural heritage of Cijin, will travel around spaces and spread the Cijin story.

The Lure- Waterfront Activation The interesting feature of this site is a U-shaped boardwalk extension that hugs its waterfront with approximately 25,000 m2. This area will be converted into an aquatic recreational hub, the Lure, to promote athleticism and act as a luring factor to energize the waterfront. The Lure will break the boundaries between the land and the water, create waterfront accessibility, as well as promote interactions between local residents and visitors. The Lure is served as the icon representing athleticism and local participation, as similar to the Guggenheim Museum being the poster child to Bilbao. The aquatic recreational hub is designed to accommodate different age groups and activities, ranging from a baby pool to a six meters high diving pool. The program is comprised of a sun bathing deck, baby pool, a lap pool, a water polo pool, a water volleyball pool, a diving pool, a water park, a lounge and an amphitheater. Vegetation is planted on the northern edge of the hub to for sustainability reasons. A solar powered filtration system is used to supply clean water by intaking seawater at the site. The activation of the water hub is a strategic approach that will trigger, stimulate and create a chain effect activating other parts of the island.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN SUSTAINABLE WATER SYMBOL

(Beijing, China)

Creating a sustainable water symbol for the city of Beijing by applying the parametric tool of "tiling".

Overview of YongDing River

Evolution of Water Presence

Government's Actions

During ten thousand years, YongDing river have changed gradually and left many old riverways which swang from north to fouth, and finally the YongDing river has formed into to today's location.

Yuquan Spring formed from the underground water from ancient Yongding River. It had once become the most abundant and steady source of Beijing. Therefor, lots of traditional gardens had been built, which formed the most beautiful and prosperous scenery in history.

1. Beijing-Miyun Water Canel (main source for the Summer Palace and even greater Beijing region) 2. The South-to-North Water Division System (main source of living water in Haidian) 3. The Recovery Project on Yongding River (50 years to make the level of underground water up to -10m)

PROBLEM No.1: Small Lake Huge Burden The supporting strategy doesnt totally meet the desperate need of water from the downstream, even if the river bank and river bed are water-proof. Water level in ancient gardens is continously decreasing and the water supply does not meet the desire maximun need.

PROBLEM No.2: Soil Does Not Hold Water Anymore Since the level of underground water decreased, the soil became drier and desertified which results in the decreasing capacity to hold water in soil. If we can use the water going deep which are not been fully absorbed by the roots, we can save lots of water in irrigation.

Rain/irrigation: water quickly infiltrates into the ground.

When water approaches roots, portion of the water is absorbed by the tree.

Water percolates through the soil faster than the tree can fully absorbe the water. Thus, the soil become dry again.

10 hectares of nursery garden in the site, which need large amont of irrigration.

Program and Design Concept Educational: By demonstraining the sustainability of a virtuous water cycle through a mixed-use program and water recycling: housing + agriculture. Functional: Natural treatment of water, rainwater collection, using water in residential and commencial, refill the groundwater, etc. Landscaping: Using the benefits of water for landscaping and optimizing views on the great landscape. Optimizing the Program: -Water used on the site should be treated locally and naturally. -Recycled water from housing should provide enough water for watering the whole site. -Housing is re-using grey water for toilet flushing (25% of the total need) -Taking into account the water reservoir size (33 Hectares) Optimizing the ratio housing/green areas in function of water use 10,000 people Inhabitants 400,000 m2 Housing floor area 200 units Number of buildings (4 storys, 500m2 floor area) Water treatment pond Water reservoir Reusing grey water in building (25% of total water use) Green land (agriculture, parks)

Creating Water Sufficient Cells The Site is devided into seven cells according to the amount of water needed.

Roads Networking Connects the Main Entry Points Roads are located on the ridges of the new topography: thus, the roads are protected from flooding.

The Water Usage and Recycling System

Integrating Buildings in the Slope From historical surrounding hills, the site looks like an entire greenland area: buildings are intergrated in the topography, always facing south.

Existing Land Will Benifit from the New Water System New topography is shaped to optimize the water flow; every inch of land is naturally watered using gravity.

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN ARCHIPUNCTURE STUDIO PLAY

(Beijing, China)

Archipuncture = Architecture + Acupuncture. Tsinghua University campus place making. Archipuncture is build up of two independent definitions: Architecture and Acupuncture. This project focusses on locality and specificity of architecture as routed within a site, and this site as ambedded within an overall framework, analogue to the theories that underly Apupuncture. The project uses a holistic approach, intergrating site conditions, architectural opportunities, materials, and program to create an architectural intervention that is not just an object itself, but rather a place embedded within the tissue of the overall framework. The project deals with the definition of space, the creation of participative places and the investigation of open-ended spatial design that can lead to healthy surroundings in which quality of region is embedded within a specific architectural intervention, creating unique sense of place.
