THE CANTONESE URBAN VILLAGE

EVELYN PENG

THE CANTONESE URBAN VILLAGE General Context The major issue of urban villages in Cantonese cities is some historical problems left by the Chinese government. During the 1980s, early wave of modern urbanization has larged changed most of the urban textures in Cantonese cities. As traditional villages that originated from Cantonese culture. Unfortunately, some villages are nowadays surrounded by huge modern towers and become left behind spaces after 30 years of development of the city. Some of them locates at the city center where the land becomes very expensive and the government can not keep village in the same location anymore. Because of the expansion of the population in urban areas, the density becomes enormously high. Inhabitants are lack of public space to meet and communicate. Meanwhile, a lot of these apartments with low rent are rented by new immigrants who come to work in large cities. If these urban villages are destroyed and ﬁlled with modern towers or blocks of housing , the city will lose an important feature representing its history while the lives of current residents will be deeply disturbed.

Urban Village in Guangzhou, China

Design concept The city not only contains physical spaces, symbols of power and wealth, but also living bodies that can think, operate, regulate themselves and evolves with their own logic. The evolutionary development of a city is achievable through its intelligent components: people. For a true urban upgrading, it must be reorganized that physical spaces represent the redistribution the various social resources, balancing the interests of different hierarchies and make people live and work quietly. In addition, it is vital that the recourse related tp the people must be considered as positive contributors in the planning. Rather than relying on highly skilled professionals and experts, local residents who have a sufﬁciently long living experience in the area know what they wans. They must be able to inﬂuence their own city.

Create Public Space from Demolished Buuildings

During urbanism process of the village, there will be always some old, abandoned and demolished buildings. If we can keep the land empty temporarily and make them public spaces corresbonding to the needs of local neighborhoor, as gathering or relaxing outdoor spaces. The residents will feel that they are watched by others while using the space and thereupon pay more attention to improve the appearance of their home. In existing buildings, there are also volume you can simply turned into semi-public spaces (roof, stilts, the course etc..) and share them with friends. The public space will provide a possitive inďŹ&#x201A;uence on local the environment of the urban village. However, If we do the opposite way by just improving individual building,the inďŹ&#x201A;uence will be very ineffective.

In my opinion, the development of urban village has a critical demand for the participation of the inhabitants . For the reason that since the birth of the village until today, the exchange here is always alive and organize themselves of different forms. The designers should development the space that makes the local people feel comfortable.

In the project, the site was chosen as the central communal space by the empty ground by the lakeside with trees. As a coastal City, villages often originated by the water. It is also a traditional space for the villages to meet and gather. It can also become an ideal space for them to discuss the issues related to the village.

While the density of large cities increases, people are more isolated from each other and the spirit of our neighborhood disappears. The design with the participation of the inhabitants will be there a way for us to get closer. The challenge of the design is to find ways to create urban village to develop democratically. Architects, planners, administrators and developers can interact with the local Residents to create a place with participatory and flexible idea exchanging in different activities. More efficient communication will be established by playable architectural representations, education, models, filling in the gap between the professions and residents There is no denying that my project is difficult to achieve in China, but I am inspired by the sentence : "If you complain about the society , ask yourself first what you can to make the change . "- Hua Xinmin (one of the most important protectors of the cultural heritage in China).

A community who grow democratically.

v The grid system The scale of the grid determind the program of that platform. In this design, the maximun size of the grid is 8*8, which is suitable for a single planted big tree, two of this square can fit a mini bascket-ball field or standard badminton field or night table tennis, etc. ... Minimun scale is 50*50 cm which is a sitting scale. By classifing different programs into the site, the activies in this public space could be inriched, attracting, and the terrain could be used in a flexible and efficient way.

Model 1:200 in site context

EVELYN PENG

Concept The site currently is lack of program and platform to provide spaces for activities. This design is an experimental design aims to play with the minimun standard of scales. The project shows a ďŹ&#x201A;exibility of interpretation of the site: the program of the squares can be changed and replaced, depending on different demands and time. It has a protential to be compressed and expanded in future process.

LIVING TOGETHER

EVELYN PENG

An intermediate form between habitat and activity center: In my project, I look for an intermediate form between the home and the neighborhood activity center. After survey of residents living in a Malian home in Montreuil, appeared to me that their home was like a "IIE isolated" in the neighborhood. Every year, they arrive in France, working for a few months but remain excluded from public life, not having the means to integrate. Social relations are low. So the neighbor relationship is important to them, to help them regain a social life. I would like to create a place that facilitates these exchanges, and stimulates encounters and interactions between residents, creating a center for various activities. At the same time, I wish to offer a home for the workers and migrant workers, with the aim of improving the quality of their habitat, often crude, and protect their privacy.

Different degrees of space To find a balance between shared space and private space, I suggest different degrees of space. The part reserved for the activity center consists of, first, a tea room open to the street which is a welcoming space for residents and passersby, and secondly, a multimedia room and a gym to meet the needs of residents. On the terrace, garden connects the center of activity and focus.

The spatial organization For the home, I am inspired the idea of a central court as "shared space": living room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. On the other hand, I retain the idea of a patio on the second floor to inform the "space shared "central on two levels. As probably many African societies, Malian society emphasizes the importance of collective life, individualism was often seen a very evil eye. The houses are often organized around a central courtyard, a meeting place for the whole family which also receives strangers, where we take the meals and in the evening we discuss in having tea. The court therefore has an importance in the traditional habitat and one could almost say that this is actually the main space of the house.

The colors of the earth in Mali In the Dogon villages, land is a primary building material. The colors of the earth are the dominant colors. Clay is pure lanche of color, but it is usually mixed with various materials that affect its properties hysiques; it is these impurities (iron oxide, manganese, copper, etc.) that color green, blue, gray, yellow, red u brown ..

Color Composition: Wall + door, window Door and window tinted in red, blue or green, counterpoints to bring its total mineral world of earth and sand.

Interiors with insertion

The site locates a prosperous area in the city of Toulouse. It sits between academic institutes, cultural venues and residential houses. It was chosen because of its unique location and its strong industrial character with a hall in abandoned and a large steel brick ﬁreplace.

The concept for the project is to keep existing structural hall and insert elements to create new interior spaces. On one side,internal partitions are inserted into the empty hall to cut out the repository, private meeting space, ofﬁce and medical space. On the other side of the structure, only a few partitions are inserted for showroom and workshop to remain an relatively undeﬁned and free space for the public anticipation.

Proposal The design proposal is to revitalize the existing structure into community center with a urban garden. It will become a vital space for multiple activities of children, youth as well as various vegetation in the city, which serves as an complementary natural science for the nearby schools. It would allow the youth to experience nature in the context of activities in the city center.

Program:

Between the inside and outside

Development of an empty ﬁeld and restructuring of an abandoned hall with existing structures --- A empty ﬁeld of 700 m² --- A herbarium colletion hall of 120 m² --- A showroom --- A 50m ² library (Cap. 20 people) --- A herbarium workshop 40m ² (Cap.2025 pers) --- A 21m ² room (Cap. 10-15 people) --- A kitchen with a 70m ² terrace --- Cabinet --- Washroom (2.5m ² for disabled)

The hall is covered by a transparent glass facade to build up a connection between inside and outside environment. Thereupon,the communication between the living outside landscape and the existing cold metal structure begin to emerge.Meanwhile, the roof is also constructed by glass and aluminum alloy.

Making the Ground Floor Comfortable The climate in South China very humid and often rainy season sometimes lasts for more than 6 months, making the ground ﬂoor the most damping area in the building Always being watched by people passing by and lived with more noise and polution ... etc.. The ground ﬂoor of a tower is not a pleasant place to live in.

PROPOSAL The concept of this project is to transform the ground level of the towers as spaces for exchange and conviviality. The ground spaces are deﬁned by glass circulars, which serve as meeting rooms for residents of the towers. They are semi private spaces of various sizes, which are suitable for various activities. The ceiling of these rooms are open so that people can access to raised gardens by stair. Sketches of the Environmental Inﬂuence on Ground Floor

The inner garden surrounded by glass circulars distinguish itself from the pandemoniac urban environment and provide a natural, warm and neat spaces for people. The clear glass creates communication and transitional spaces between the natural spaces and outside urban context at the same time

Wandering in architecture Residents can walk through the ground ﬂoor with the route deﬁned by the circulars, which increase the opportunities for people to meet. AS semi-private spaces with variable dimensions,it carries out various human activities and interreactions.

P3: Site Constructed P3A Site Translations P3B_Site Interventions Building on previous exercises students will continue to work within concepts of abstraction though an exploration of surface and form. This exercise also introduces key concepts of working with slopes that will further be developed in the ﬁnal exercise. The conventional topographic map is an abstracted, derivative drawing. Departing from the ubiquitous “pancake” model, students will be asked to interpret this existing abstraction to generate models that go beyond reproducing the topographic map toward the rigorous translation and fabrication of the surfaces, forms, and substrates of a dynamic site. The second exercise of Project 3 will further develop your constructed interpretations of the initial topographic maps, introducing concepts of terrain manipulation (subtraction) and structural augmentation of site (addition). The exercise builds on iterative practices that have been established with the previous phase and explores themes of abstraction and generation as a continuous, reciprocal practices.

Imagery Connection between Buildings

General Layout Plan of the Site

Human Scale is neglected. Due to the excessive demand, cars corrode plenty of space for human activities. The public spaces between buildings are not usually occupied by people. In most of the urban areas, there are little free space for people to sit. Instead of creating the desired landscape for human, a large many of spaces are designed as a showcase of the greatness of a city . As the type of outdoor activities are greatly inﬂuenced by their evironnement, more corfortable urban environment allows interaction between individuals, the more people are attracted to and use the site. However, there are little human activities between buildings. People are not encouraged to use the urban spaces and prefer to spend time in buildings.

BETWEEN WALLS

The city expanded with population constantly growing and thus increase the density of construictions. traditional horizontal inhabitation are replaced by large vertical towers. This change brings negative environmental impacts which reduces the recreational area, and consequently prevent the exchange between indoor and outdoor environment and social activities. If the wall is considered as the boundary between the private and the public. Can it be regarded as extra space to enjoy? Can it become the transitional space between the private and the public and acts as a fuzzy boundary? Yes it can.

P2: Site Precendent This assignment ask students to study carefully landscape projects, then apply the typrologies in these cases into their site. The elements what students should analyse are the threshold, windowing, enclosure in each project. Thinking about how these projects demonstrate these terms. The site is the same site as P1, a pocket space left over in a residential area. The projects that I have chosen are the Sonsbeek Pavilion of Van Eyck, and the Basel Headquarter designed by PWP.

EVELYN PENG

Our site is a pocket space, surrounded by residential buildings at three sides, another one side face to a path which connects the Second Street and the Third Street. This space is abandoned and has no use at the current situation. The aim of the project is to interpret the typrologies from foreign cases appropriately into this site and create a pocket public space in this area. As the site is very close to residential buildings, the side that facing to buildings should be less opened to give users privacy in a public space. And the side that facing to the street shuold provide interesting experiences and be more opened to encourage people get into the garden.

The first drawing is extrude from the first collage of P1A, I simplified the original image in lineworks by only keeping the contours of elements. In addition, I have added constrution lines in order to get the angel of their perspective.

Site Revealed P1A:Revealing Site P1B: Deconstructing Site P1C: Prohecting Site This assignment introduces the careful production and analysis of documentary site photography and collage. Students will produce a series of highly composed collages that communicate the conditions on their site. The intention of this assignment is to move beyond the “snap-shot” or “point and shoot” mentality and towards site photography and the use of imagery as rhetorical and analytical devices that help you see your site in new ways. Continuing with the ﬁrst exercise in Site Revealed, this assignment asks students to combine the lessons of collage and abstract spatial reconstruction in the production of composite analytical drawings. These composite drawings will combine sections, elevations, plans, and detail/moment of selected areas of the sitting out area in the same compositional space. Students may interpret aspects of scale and proportion when ﬁlling the A2 composition.

PROBLEMATIC ( Explore issues )

max. building height: 42.24m

"D": This factor can suggest building height along side the street.

We wish that this analysis could be one of the very first approaches for us to understand Yangon's environmental conditions. Progressively, using these data with critical observation during on-site inspection, and finally be able to develop further projects.

METHODOLOGY ( Digital simulation)

DISCIPLINE ( Lessons to learn)

The environmental aspect of Yangon remains as one of the most essential characteristics when anaylsis this city. These The main environmental topics that we will develop at this stage are the Shading, Radiation, and Ventilation, in certain patches of downtown Yangon. Accompagned with analytical diagrams, we will raise questions that should be paid attention to in each domain, than making efforts to evaluate these questions by systematical research method.

The shading factor gives direct spacial influences from buildings to the street. These "P": Where are the most shaded area in downtown Yangon? What's the limitation in relationship to the shading factor

In order to have necessery sun shine on the street in winter, annual sun path mainly affacted by the winter's sun angle.

D Street width=33m

S-N oriented street W= 29m

Temperature and precipitation The number of hours that one street can receice per day is affacted by the daily sun path and the proposal of the building height and the street width.

42.24M The winter sun angle is 52°, this factor mainly affect the direct sunshine to the street during the coldest days. In order to provide sunshine during winter days on the street, the buildings locates at the south side of the street should be lower than 42.24m.

This research will mainly focus on three aspect of the key issues:

S': 4h 26min W': 3h 40min

The direct sunshine that the street can receice per day various from seasons and mostly relative to the porpotion between the street and the building height. For example, if the buiding at the east side of a 33m wide street, the direct sunshine that this street can receice in winter is 7h20min, and 8h30min in summer.

"M": The methodology that we use to evalutate the environmental factors. For example, how does the shadow range of the buiding mass on the ground level changes in a year.

S-N oriented street W= 15m

H: 57.2/45/26

"D": The discipline that we want to conclude and suggest, after analysis the environmental factor, for futher design. Such as the building height should be limited by the sun angle and the street width, in order to garantee enough sun shine.

The sun path over the street's period's variation could be analysised. The last diagrams shows these variation in different points. For example, point B which situate in a 29m width street can get direct sun shine from 9:30a.m. to 6:30p.m.

"P": The problematic which can describ the issue that we are interested in. For instance, the shading of building mass and its influence of the street.

Summer monsoon

S-N oriented street W= 7m

Winter monsoon

The higher level the surface situates, the more ventilation it could receive.

The maximun radiation of the year is 5380W/h, during winter days, it reduces to 4320W/h.

MICRO-CLIMATE The radiation value varies from street to street which means the micro-climate differences. The wider street is cool than the more narrow ones.

The ventilation in downtown Yangon is much affacted by its grid form urban pattern.

+ 18m

1. "P": How the wind get into these street and block? How the ventilation change in different level.

"M": Stimulate the total radiation of the selected pacth, we can see that the more narrow the street is, the less radiation it contains, which means a cooler physical experience, vice versa.

"M": Stimulate the ventilation with summer/ winter monsoon and see the seasonal change of the wind. Also to rise the analysis surface in different evelations.

"D": Different spatial experience various from time to time, public space should provide possibilities for people move from one to another, thus this kind of net work is essential in urban design.

"D": The ventilation is better in the east-west than the north-south oriented street. As the level raise up, the density of the building reduce and more wind get into the block.

WEST-SOUTH The monsoon is significant during summer period, it comes from west-south direction. However, as the west-south oriented streets are narrow, few ventilation get into these street.

1.4M/S The maximun wind speed on the groun level is 1.4m/s. The wind pass faster in the east-west oriented street than the north-south ones. as the level rise, wind pass faster.
