Reclaiming The River

a New Vision towards Border Vaccum, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Individual work, Master Graduation Thesis 32-week Academic Project / 2015 - 2016 TU Delft Tutor: Prof. Dick van Gameren, Dr. Ir. Nelson Mota, Ir. Sjap Holst, Ir. Anteneh Tesfaye Ethiopia is now suffering from pressing housing issues resulted from the urban sprawl and rural-urban migration trend. Another problematic element that aroused my attention is the river, which used to be one of the important triggers of urban transformation in Addis. However, with the rapid paces of urbanization, rivers are no longer the irreplaceable source of food and water. Rather, they gradually become an underdeveloped urban grey zone instead of exerting their advantages. The border effect along rivers reveals the third problem, a severe fracture of urban infrastructure layers. How to reclaim the underdeveloped river banks as a new strategy for the massive housing demands and a new sense of the social identity in Addis? How to break the negative border to achieve the continuity and synergy between different urban layers?

'BORDERS TEND TO FORM VACUUMS OF USE ADJOINING THEM.' JANE JACOBS This is a typical case of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the curse of border vacuumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. On the one hand, the rivers run across the entire city, forming a massive border that hinders the communication between two sides. With fewer users, fewer purposes and destinations, the rivers and their perimeters become a deserted and negative border vacuum, and further evolve into a domestic dump for the residents in the surrounding neighbourhoods. On the other hand, the stench and polluted water have further intensified the border effect along the rivers, which sets up a vicious circle.

Cinematic Architecture

Campus Hypermedia Centre Design, Nanjing, China Individual work 8-week Academic Project / 2013 SEU Tutor: YU Chuanfei & YU Gang We focus on the multi-operations of certain sites on campus with parametric design methods. VC programming helps to provide pedestrian simulation. The site is divided into module units and aims to stimulate a wide range of public activities. The whole site acts as a multi-operational modular surface. The site is located on the campus of Southeast University, which is the original site of National Central University with lots of historic buildings and forbiddance of big constructions. The four lawns are originally designed for landscape use, but in a long term became deserted. tried to reform it into a low-rise landscape building, activating the site and creating a direct link between Zhongshan Building and Qiangong Building.

Theory of Algorithms

1. Generate the node vertical height according to the calculation.

2. Alter the heights with the activity circulations added.

3. Create the roof based on the height vectors.

4. Split up the surface in cataclysm parts of the vectors.

5. Adding the activity circulations again to create triangle subdivision.

6. Alter the subdivision and materials according to various activities.

Garden Vibe - Plantage Identity New Bloom for the Plantage, Amsterdam, Netherlands

16-week Academic Project / 2015 TU Delft Tutor: Prof. Antonio Cruz, Ir. Muriel Huisman, Ir. Ger Warries Collaborator: Ruofan Gan In the past, the Plantage area was used as “an idyllic spot, where people could walk around and enjoy nature”. “Promenades” characterised the public space of the plantage in the early areas. Gardening and walking were in fashion. However with the rapid urban development, the current Plantage has gradually lost its past identity, a green promenade area for the public. The past prosperous Middenlaan and waterbanks are now occupied by motor traffic and parking. The rigid borders of Artis suppress the potential of waterbanks and the square becomes deserted. In view of this, we try to help this area regain its past prosperity by bringing back the past “garden vibe” to the Plantage. Through this, we want to create an area where the public can not only enjoy the result but also take part in the process of gardening and farming. Also, we reorganize the urban street network in order to release the Middenlaan to pedestrians. A new scenery axis and a new form of identity are estabished by the integration of the existing situation and this intervention.

Palazzo Enciclopedia, Park Of Trace Public Building | Vertical Studio Istanbul, Turkey

Individual work 16-week Academic Project / 2014 TU Delft Tutor: Oscar Rommens, ir. Marc Schoonderbeek, ir. Micha de Haas The site locates at the Haydarpasa Terminal. Until 2012 the station was a major intercity, regional and commuter rail hub as well as the busiest railway station in Turkey. As of 19 June 2013 all train service to the station has been indefinitely suspended due to the rehabilitation of the existing line for the new Marmaray commuter rail line.The station building has become a symbol of Istanbul and Turkey and is famous throughout the Middle East. The artefacts of my collection is trace, which is one of the representatives of memory. In my eyes, the most striking and distinctive feature of Haydarpasa Station area is the old railways that once led to different places. However, the motion on site stopped once the train stopped. It is time for a new intervention to re-activate the site.

- 44 -

- 45 -

The whole site makes up my Palazzo Enciclopedico, a park of trace. There are mainly three kinds of â&#x20AC;&#x153;traceâ&#x20AC;? in this project. The first one is the railways on site, the trace on the urban scale.

- 46 -

The second one is the exhibits. It can be physical objects, such as scratches in an old chair with a good story, or traces created by multi-media. These traces are carriers of old memory and may strike a responsive chord in the hearts of the visitors.

- 47 -

The last but the most important one in my project is the traces created by daily use of the palazzo.

1. Activate & Connect: Major railways that connect the surroundings (platforms, roundhouse, city roads etc.) where people mainly come from.

2. Extrude: Transform the traces from the 2d plane to the 3d space by extruding the major railways into walls floating right above.

3. Insert functional blocks: Formal exhibition; The site: Informal encounters & exhibition

4. Adjust the height according to varying functional needs and body scale to merge into the surroundings.

The interactive exhibition allows visitors to participate in the trace-making. Also, Tracks are in a chaotic state and the building offers a plan without hierarchy in which rooms with varying properties connected directly to each other. One has to pick his own route. Encounters occur in this wandering and create unique traces and new memories for the visitors. In this way, the content of trace would be extended both in time dimension and spatial dimension.

Rehabitation Hospital Design, Hainan, China International Collaborative Research, Design & Education Project Texas A&M University, Southeast University, University of Oklahoma in collaboration with HKS, IPPR and Miles Associates 8-week Academic Project / 2012 SEU Tutor: ZHOU Ying Collaborator: XU Yuping Good rehabilitation environment consideration should be given to both indoor and outdoor. We hope to obtain equilibrium between them. The starting point of the design begins with "internal" and "external" relationship. The long vertical courtyard conducts people to ramble in it, and at the same time connects the module units; Integral layout discretion of the modules is united with dislocation, creating rich-layering elevation and scale-pleasant platforms and corridors with the medical area as a background. Linear space interweaves with block space with distinct contrast.
