Social equality is a rarity in this historic concession Han Kow, for the government and developers will demolish those disadvantaged local’s houses just for interest, which is pervasive in the nation. So what we designed is to avoid dispel this disadvantaged people. On the contrary, we need them stay to preserve the original Han Kow community tradition that can serve as the reminder of the intrinsic of the city. This project aims at three kinds of users: original local residents, tenants (most of which are young migrant workers) and small business shopkeepers. The Concession Utopia is inspired by the people’s commune in 1960s in China, we design a community with highly-sharing lifestyle to present local’s previous life with prefabricated units to lower the budget and give possibilities for the architecture to grow in the future.

Inspired by the structures of construction cranes and scaffold as well as the easily assembled designs of IKEA furnitures, this modularized frame structure is designed easy to assembly, decreasing the construction budget due to rapid building process and prefabricated units, which can benefit both the developers and the disadvantaged original residents. Function can also be re-adapted as the space and structures are configurable. I have designed a insertion joint to solidify the cubic structure. The easy operation is designed to allow space re-arrangement with clients’ need.

The project is designed to improve the locals ware-fare and to enhance old district competitiveness. I hope the project to bring benefit during the construction and usage period. Also, the mode can be a example for neighboring blocks for their renewal project.
During the construction period, because of the prefabricated material and easy standard building process, the previously-non-training locals can be involved in the business to increase the income
The modularized units offer the architecture the characteristic of expansion . Any new unit can be inserted for different use so the business is with high flexibility.
The project and its mode can be exemplar to other concession block renewal project for the rapid construction, low budget , better living environment and new commercial activities.
CONCESSION UTOPIA BIRDVIEW
CONCESSION UTOPIA OPERATING STRCTURE The Utopia Community can serve at 3 level. At individual level, residents will enjoy better living environment; at community level, the locals will feel sense of belongings because of the presence of original community layout; at society level, the project will stimulate the small business here and attract tourists to the old district.

PART1: OPEN STREET MARKET Description
Strategy
This part is the first to be built and will serve as a reminder of original Han Kow street market. This part presents the four major business on basis of the previous research: restaurant, message room, MaJiang room and. This market zone is opening to the public and can attract surrounding residents and tourist, both inject energy to this old community and increase the income of the disadvantaged people.
Based on the original spatial form of street market and in-community market, the OPENING MARKET part presents series of shops of original business linked by a raised-up zigzag street to the 3rd floor, which help visitors have a longer time to experience the local’s life. And the modular composition provides shopkeepers opportunity to expand their business. Also the market is set to connect the surrounding community and become a center for people to communicate.

PART2: ORIGINAL RESIDENTS COLONY Description
Strategy
This part is a renewal collected dwelling colony of original local residents. Just like their previous living environment, the colony is divided into several group, inside which 3 or 4 families share space like living-room, kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Owning their private bedroom, with which the basic size is 4m*4m per unit, and the family could choose 2 or more units to be combined due to their larger population.
The colony is placed at the top part of architecture so the residents can enjoy the privacy from the OPENING MARKET. The project present the sharing lifestyle , and the new apartment provide these disadvantaged residents with a more comfortable interior environment with new facilities, decoration and convenient walking system. And the roof so each family can get easy access to the roof garden for their outdoor activities, which is a rarity in previous district.

PART3: HOME OF TENANTS Description
Strategy
This part aims at those younger and youth workers who work the whole day and only regard here as a sleeping capsule. With huge living pressure in this big city, they always get to work very early in the morning and back here tire. The TENANT HOME will help them to find a scene of home with individual apartment and plentiful communication space with their neighbors. The complex is connected to the market so they can have great night life there.
The project provides these young workers with individual apartment but also offers enough communication space to connect them with their neighbors, which help them to share the pressure in the work. Also, considering the situation that youngsters are tend to have opening social life, this part is connected with the MARKET street straightly so they can get easy access to it.

NEO-PLEASURE BAY
SOUTH BOSTON WATERFRONT INNOVATION DISTRICT [LOCATION] BOSTON, MA [ACADEMIC] 2018 FALL, GSD [INSTRUCTOR] YUN FU [COLLABORATOR] JUSTIN (MAUD2020’)
South Boston is a densely populated neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, located south and east of the Fort Point Channel and abutting Dorchester Bay. South Boston, colloquially known as Southie, is a predominantly working class Irish Catholic community and a recent hot spot for the millennial population. This project is the renovation of an industrial abandoned brownfield area at the port of South Boston. The predecessor of this area was an important oil storage and transportation hub in Boston. In the early 2000s, the oil tanks were removed and turned into a bare industrial waste-

land. According to MASSPORT’s renovation plan, new innovation zones will be established around this area. The land ownership of the project land is more complicated, so the basic design strategy of the project is ownership-driven. The land is divided according to land ownership, and each land is developed separately, while the consistency of development of different land is maintained. The project is a mixed-use community that makes full use of the coastal geographical advantages, extends the green space resources of pleasure-bay, and makes full use of the public space in the plot.

DESIGN STRATAGY The site where the project is located is still a distribution center for important logistics in the city, including large freight storage centers and docks. So the first step on the site is to distinguish industry from public interaction. For the groundworks, including circulation system and open-space organization, the scheme has two main characteristics. The first is that existing industrial infra-
structure is designed to be underground giving way to a walking-friendly system on the ground. The second is a open-space net is set to connect from pleasure-bay to the southern park and then a continuous waterfront pedestrian pavement system. The introduction of fluid ground spatial components aims to create the permeability of the block thus allowing more connection of the site with adjacent community.

For each individual plot, the composition of space and program will follow the following two basic principles. The first is that each individual plot must have at least one road circulation that is independently connected to the outside world. The second one is that each land block must be provided with an access to the road streamline at the junction with the adjacent block. Each “island“ must provide access to the the adja-

cent ones, in order to meet the needs for potential corperative development in the future. As for programatic composition, each plot will organized around its core area of a large public building(landmark) or public squares . In the south part, commercial is dominant so that the community will be served, including the new development and the large settlements on the south side. The development on the west side addresses the innovation center in and around the convention center. Therefore, the area will mainly provide high-density residential and mixed-use office areas.
In this urban design project, walking-friendly pedestrian systems were set up on both sides of the interlace. In the pedestrian system, different types of street section bring different experiences to users. The basic design guidelines follow a fluid outdoor open space and a continuous retail commercial distribution. While the penetrability of the waterfront space allows users to quickly reach the waterfront park during the journey and enjoy the nature resource.

PHLURK REBIRTH
PHLURK MINORITY CULTURAL CONSERVATION CENTER PROJECT
[LOCATION] PHNOM PENH CAMBODIA [ACADEMIC] YEAR 3 SEMESTER 2 [INSTRUCTOR] LEI PENG [ COLLABORATOR] TIANLANG YANG [SUBMISSION] ART-TECH 2017
Kompong Phluk is a small Cambodian southern village near Phnom Penh, which was once the biggest traditional bamboo weaving making village. But recent years of modernization impact the local handcraft business and attract most of the young generation to the big city, the area suffered a rapid decline. To preserve the tradition and Phluk Weaving craft, I design this village, the shape of which is inspired by local triangle weaving pattern. In the village, the weaving making workshops are placed along a street for visitors to experience the folk culture. In the end part of the village, there is a multi-function center containing cafe, theater, meeting-room and so on to meet the need of urban tourists. And the whole architecture is facing to the Phluk Lake so the visitors can get easy access to the nature. With respect to the construction, I still use the prefabricated construction method as the low-tech way is the most appropriate in this disadvantaged area. The folding door is applied to serve as sun-shade and rain cover due to the local climate.
VILLAGE DECLINE Cambodia is a traditional agriculture-dominance country. But recent year ‘s reform and opening witnessed a relatively rapid development in and manufacturing industry. While per capita income remains low compared to most neighboring countries, Cambodia has one of the fastest growing economies in Asia with growth averaging 6 percent over the last decade. The urbanization bring better life to the migrant workers who used to survive through very low income of agriculture. So those villages that locate near big city decline in a rapid rate.
Kompong Phluk is a small Cambodian southern village near Phnom Penh, which was once the biggest traditional bamboo weaving making village. But recent years of modernization impact the local handcraft business and attract most of the young generation to the big city, the area suffered a rapid decline. Nearly 75% of the young labor force moved to the capital radiant zone. So the weaving and textile tradition may fail to be handed down from past generations. The population loss is the biggest problem limiting the development of this area.

TOPOGRAPHY ADAPTATION & GENERATION PROCESS Phlurk Village locate in a mountainous site with a major lake there. With a gradient of 7° or so which is a good potential for people to walk , I try to separate the site into two part and reform the slope terrain: the first is several big steps for a an workshops street , the second is a big flat platform to place a big center containing different function rooms. So the building looks like a small hill to rise up following the terrain steps.

MASTER PLAN (The time is consumed by walking)
Considering the influence of local economical revival and tradition cultural inheritance, I hope the project can serve not only one village but more villages in this area as much as possible. In this way, people from different villages can come to this center to start their business. So The project locates in the old Kompong Phlurk village site, which is just on the shore of Phlurk lake. And the site has a circle with maximum radius of 1000m to cover neighboring 8 villages to allow those handcraft men and other villagers to walk here within 20min. For visitors , the Phlurk lake is another resource to provide them with good viewing. Because of the hot and humid climate in Cambodia, I also choose this site to allow ventilation from lake to the building to create a more comfortable environment
Hill-like Facade The facade reflect the terrain steps
PROGRAM AND SPACE The minority cultural center rises following the terrain condition. The building is divided into two parts, one is the workshop street where visitors can experience local handcraft making through walking along the street and market, another is the main hall including theater, meeting room and other entertainment activity indoor space. I hope visitors can still enjoy comfortable environment and good service while they experience the traditional local culture, so I create a complex of traditional space environment and modern style space for visitors.

WORBURN POST-INDUSTRIAL RENOVATION PROJECT [LOCATION] WOBURN, MA
[ACADEMIC] 2018 FALL, GSD [INSTRUCTOR] YUN FU, RAHUL MEHROTRA [COLLABORATOR] JING HAI
The site of this project is located in Woburn, which is originally a satellite city about 40-minute drive north of Boston. Here, a large number of industrial parks, including logistics storage, factories, production bases, are concentrated here. Entering the 21st century, with the development of the economy , industrial innovation has enabled a large number of manufacturing enterprises to upgrade and transform. Lots of industrial warehouses will be abandoned. How to transform Woburn’s post-industrial factory has become the focus of this design.
with efficient urban texture, and to replace the original industrial site with the spatial combination of the autonomous region. Introduce the advantages of pedestrian accessibility in urban environments to the suburban area. The new development project can fully allow users to enjoy the rural life mode of the suburban area while ensuring the efficiency of urban fabric operation. Density plays a role in controlling the overall scheme. High concentration of program and diversity happens in the middle linear interlace. The two mechanisms are merged into a ten-minute walk with pedestrian system.
This design is located in Woburn within a narrow strip. The core strategy is to combine the rural living state of suburban Set the division of the site with an proposed new grid pattern (50m850m) to create different clusters that each has maximum of 300m as side length

H o u s i n g p ro j e c t s t h a t scatter on the edge of each cluster
In-fill space with articulated open-space with hierachy of private,semi-public and public ones
Final version of the the system
Because the design project adopts the autonomy-driven design strategy form-based code will become an important design guidance for each cluster and inter-cluster organization. In terms of basic building types, four fundamental rules are set to meet the needs of both walkability and multi-programmatic distribution. Based on the hierarchy of the road system, important public buildings in each cluster will stand by main road of the first episode with at leaste two stimulus arteries on both sides of the it to create a efficient circulation. Surface parking and parking towers erect near the
main landmark to provide convenience. On both sides along the main road, commercial building, including retail stores and office towers , are placed parallelly to form the linear urban fabric. While at the boundaries of the plot, housing projects are set to make full use of the surrounding natural landscape characteristics to form suburban living condition. With respect to inter-cluster organization, the main interlace will link the whole seven blocks with high-efficiency circulation system.
PHASING STRATAGY The phasing strategy is very important in this project. A large number of logistic and storage production factories are scattered in the site. The proposal is to utilize the existing infrastructure of the original site which were designed for this of these warehouses with huge volumes. The leading project of the very first phase is on both ends of south and north due to the accessibility of two train stations . After these two clusters are set, the land value near the railway station will be captured and the infrastructure operation will gradually improve, and the following urban development will develop towards the middle. Because the development scale and mode of each group have been determined at the beginning of the design, phasing strategy provided a platform and possibility for the city to expand to the middle during the implementation of the project.
Ground Floor Plan
When it comes to programmatic distribution, each cluster is designed for mixed-use by means of juxtaposition of both urban fabric in the middle while suburban fabric in the side. The synergies of these two fabrics is coordinated within 10-min walkability. With respect to compositional characteristics, the overall design is surrounded by the ecological environment, reaching
the original design goals that is a combination between concentration of diverse program of urban texture and natural resources of the sub urban fabric. It can be seen from the sectional design of the whole project. Sharing similar urban structures, the framework could bear extension to the adjacencies. A paradigm has been formed to renovate all those industrial suburban areas around Boston.
Different clusterss are connected through a central interlace to form an efficient urbanization fabric. The density of the clusters concentrates on both side of the interlace while decreas gradually to the edge. This feature shows the transition from urban texture to low-density suburban ones.

The design site locate in the high-density residential zone between old industrial renewal zone and newly-development downtown where very little public space exist. The site is separated with 3 blocks, one is Han Kow prison which will be removed, one is migrant workers’ gathering zone which is planned to be set with CBD and the last one is an abandoned factory. Within the size of 390m*120m of middle block, we hope to expand the activity space to a bigger one . So we made the loop high line site to make the path longer. Also, to consider the safety of the
exercisers, we make a vertical hierarchy of different speed movement to place their tracks on different level. Doing so, the different movement will not interfere each other to make sure the safety for people using this system.

The site is located in the center of the connection zone of economic development zone and old industrial renewal zone . The site includes three blocks. The southern one is an migrant-worker-occupied zone which would be cleared for business center; the middle one used to be Han Kow prison which will be moved to other place; the northern part is now the Jiang Hu Soap factory which will also be set elsewhere. The current problem for the site is that the neighboring blocks are all high-density residential or office building with very shortage of public activity space for residents. Also, the site split the area with fragmented neighborhoods. So what I hope is to create a link part in this site to connect all the neighboring blocks and provide enough public space for residents. Considering the limitation of the boundary in the center of the city, I make a loop high line track, which is definitely longer than a linear street, for people to exercise and have other outdoor activities.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS This is an urban design project so the project is to be designed with different construction stage. To optimize the construction and offer the maximum enhancement of this area, I start with the middle block of the Traffic HUB and its adjacent commercial pedestrian street to serve the residents with basic public space, then start to build those high-rise to attract young generation to house here, and then start cultural facilities.
Fully use the original prison zone at present to build a pedestrian block featured with boutique commercial and cultural facilities. This first stage is to define the position of the block and leave the public a distinct impression.
After the image of the block has already setup, commercial high-rise and residential housing including shopping mall, hotel, office building and flats can be built as high-intensity development.
When the high-intensity middle part of development has finished, the block has basically taken shape. It is the proper time to construct the CBD district to enhance the district business competitiveness.
The last stage is to complete the hole area urban design. In the northern part, it is the final step to build the cultural center to serve for the whole area to increase the culture atmosphere of this area.

VENICE ARK
CAMPO ST MARGHERITA RENEWAL PROJECT

Venice is a city consisting of small islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges, but it got flooded from time to time. Our site Campo Santa Margherita is a quite big campo in Venice, where a large quantity of activities take place every day. As is known , campo , a conventional type of outdoor void , serves as a very vital part of Venetians daily life, providing a space for various activities. However ,when it is flood at a annual frequency, the campo would always be drown under a-meter-high seawater, which brings a terrible problem that not a single activity would take place again. So what we do is to create a floating temporary area for a campo to still work when flooding, just like Noah’s Ark. Here comes the design “VENICE ARK”
FIELD RESEARCH MAPPING
FLOATING SYSTEM LAYERS
The VENICE ARK project is designed on basis of field research of 18 major campos in Venice, during which we learn the space relationship with people activities in Venice, textures applied with the city and come up with the floating campo idea. During the field research, we found that near all the campos in Venice will be drawn during flood period , so we came up with the idea to create a platform for use in the flood period for both tourist and locals.
In ,I lift up the first two floor to make the connection of the campo and the canal. Inspired by Carlo Scarpa, I make several geometry steps lowing down to the canal, so when tide rises up and falls down during a day, visitors can experience the time changing.
DAILY TIDE SUNKEN GALLERY The Campo St Margherita is a void edged by the surrounding houses so visitors will find no clue of the canal which just besides them. In this part, in order to make a good relationship between campo space and the canal, I lift up the first two floor to make the connection of the campo and the canal. Inspired by Carlo Scarpa, I make several geometry steps lowing down to the canal, so when tide rises up and falls down during a day, visitors can experience the time changing.

VENICE ARK DURING NON-FLOOD DAYS [INDIVIDUAL] During most period of a year , the campo St Margherita will stay dry and be a very popular square for visitors to gather. In this campo, a very interesting thing is that it has two well systems, which once served as the basic living supply for locals. During the field research, I found that the reservoirs are two big underground space being able to containing tens of people. So I created a tunnel to connect them to make a underground museum for wells. Also, in the middle part of campo there is a house that belonged to an executioner. I made use of its wall as screen for movie for both locals and visitors.

The campo is above the official zero mark--but flood is high enough to inundate site Campo Santa Margherita, which is prone to tidal flooding. Every year during December to March, both visitors and the city tourism will suffer from the flood .So the design focuses on the campo itself, aiming to let people use the campo even when it is flood. The floating platform will rise with water so the surface will always be dry for people to occupy.
In ,I lift up the first two floor to make the connection of the campo and the canal. Inspired by Carlo Scarpa, I make several geometry steps lowing down to the canal, so when tide rises up and falls down during a day, visitors can experience the time changing.

SEA LEVEL RISING ANALYSIS According to scientists from Italy and France,the Mediterranean will rise by up to five feet (140cm) before 2100. The Venice will just be under water in a century, and all the current tourism will disappear. I make a prediction of sea level in a century and propose the operation of this Venice Ark. And this mode can be generalized to any other campo of Venice to provide more public space during flood period`
Current Currently, the Venice Ark will provide people with platform during December to March
2025
Short Term: 15cm
In 2025, some part of suken gallery will be submerged with rising sea level
2060
Mid Term: 65cm
In 2060, the sunken gallery will disappear because of the sea level and some part of campo will be under water for whole year.
2090
Long Term: 120cm
In 2090, the whole campo will be under water and the ARK will be the only outdoor public space for people to use.
07 RESEARCH: PATTERNED JUSTICE JUST CITY LAB: URBAN PLANNING RESEARCH PROJECT, 2019 SPRING

“One of Griffin’s most important innovations is also one of her most concise. The Just City Index is a roster of “50 values that we have intended for use by different communities and cities to develop their own visions for what it would take for their locales to be more just.” The Just City Lab mission statement describes the Index’s purpose: If a community articulated what it stood for, what it believed in, what it aspired to be—as a city, as a neighborhood—it would have a better chance of creating and sustaining healthier, more vibrant places with more positive economic, health, civic, cultural and environmental conditions.”
08 RESEARCH : POST -EXPO STUDY GSD INDEPENDENT STUDY, 2019 FALL

Post-Expo research is an independent and independent research conducted by Joan Buesquets. This research project aims to conduct a comparative study of the urban space during EXPO period, taht is condition before the completion of the Expo, the state of spacial operation when the World Expo is completed, and the actual condition of the site after the World Expo. For this semester of research, I chose three different World Expos: the Louisiana World Expo in 1904, the Berlin Expo in 1957, and the Brussels Expo in 1958. The spatial analysis of the three World Expos being taken with the same research methods extracts the spatial characteristics of the World Expo to study its urban spatial value.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, commonly known as the Saint Louis World’s Fair of 1904, was the last great international exposition before World War I. The fair, built on a 1,200 acre site, included hundreds of thousands of objects, people, animals, displays, and publications from 62 exhibiting countries and 43 of the 45 states.
Expo 1958 is the World Expo held in Brussels, Belgium from April 17 to September 19, 1958. It is also the first large-scale international expo after the Second World War. It attracted 41.45 million people to visit. The atomic ball tower built for this expo is still preserved after the expo and has become a landmark in Brussels.
Different from other expos, during interbau 1957, the architecture itself served as both pavilions and products, with five different types of buildings being organized in the park to show the logic of modernity. Two main city avenues were preserved as main axis to organize the campus set alongside the automobile ways with different zones of various types of buildings, including towers, slab buildings, linear buildings, bungalows and special buildings. Touring path and flow were designed following by the sequence defined by ankor points by major public architectures.
