Urbanization has put increasing demand on China’s second and third tier cities to improve the quality of life for its citizens. The regeneration of city centers and adjacent industrial zones is one of the solutions. Xiuying Port is an old logistics port in the center of Haikou, China. Under the new positioning of Hainan as an International Tourism Island, Haikou as the provincial capital of Hainan faces challenges and competition from Sanya in the south. The port is being relocated and regenerated into a new mixed use hub. The biggest challenge is to find adequate land budget and FAR to make the relocation of port possible. The client and government leaders envision the site as a mixed use development with entertainment uses including marina facilities, local ferry port, office uses, customs and port uses, and high end apartments.

The port regeneration will be a catalyst project for the revival of Haikou’s city center. Economically the waterfront site near Haikou city center will have an appropriate mix of uses to attract investment capital. Our aim to develop an eco healthy district on this reclaimed industrial site is achieved by providing an interconnected green infrastructure system and implementing a green approach to limit impact on the urban environment. Social sustainability is achieved by creating a district to live, work, and play, attracting people to Haikou to enjoy the harbor life.

Urban design is not just about the design of buildings, but also about creating linkages through the spatial fabric and public realm. Our aim in this urban regeneration project is to connect Haikou’s past with future, connect the site with the city, connect urban development with economic prosperity, connect people with other people and places, and connect the sea with the land.

To test our vision for the design, a series of studies on waterfront developments, including pioneer projects in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and Hamburg Haffen City, have been carried out in order to find the most appropriate development path for Xiuying Port. Energy and wind models were used as an experimental way to test the “physical” quality of the design, and to adjust the design to optimize environmental comfort with efficient energy utilization.
ENRICH
The project aims to energize the city center with a waterfront destination to stimulate the cities’ vitality and accelerate the port’s transition from industrial to commercial uses, focus value and presence on the waterfront, and offer a mix of active landscape typologies located in pedestrian scaled urban environments which will promote walkability, thus reducing the impact of vehicular traffic on the urban infrastructure.

Waterfront Development Typologies
URBAN MIXED USE WATERFRONT At the project onset, we studied existing waterfront development typologies and models around the world to determine Xiuying Port’s development path. Based on the studies and in keeping with the government’s vision, Xiuying Port will be developed as an Urban Mixed Use Waterfront. This type of waterfront development integrates various waterfront typologies to create a vibrant, multifunctional destination for residents, employees, and tourists. The waterfront promenade becomes an important public element that connects people and places.

eucalyptus house bangalore, india
unique environment the house is located on the unique contryside environment in the middle of the eucalyptus forest with reddish soil, open view towards the natural lake, and fresh air in local cool temperature.
location and approaches a number of factors have been considered when finalising the position of the location of the building on the site. The house is positioned at the highest point of the plot maximising the views over the countryside and future lake to the north. Locating the house remote from the riding school increases the importance of the journey to the building across the site.
function and brief The Client has identified 3 main uses for the house; Family, Business and Hobby. The house needs to be a place where he can relax with his family while it will also serve as a place to accomodate his business meeting and activities. The client has also required special preference to design his house and its surroundings as base to enjoy his passion for horse riding with his friends and family.

47 HYBRID URBAN VILLAGE
CONNECTIVITY
the proposed Hybrid Urban Village is reconstructed by local resident through incremental process by utilizing available material & technology; and maintaining existing spatial organization (street pattern) which characterizes its unique environment.
connectivity to Urban Village is regulated by three bridges. First bridge connects the periphery (public street) of Urban Village to public road and community across the river. Second bridge connects the internal road of Urban Village to the Green space of former saint John’s University. The existing bridge connect the old part of university to its extension across the river. this bridge also gives limited access to public (who live inside or next to Urban Village).

Faculty: Li Xiaodong, Liu Nianxiong, Amy Lelyveld, Alexander Tzonis Critics: Wang Hui, Ron Henderson PROJECT DESCRIPTION Cities have always been for gathering, an essential function that telegraphs through all aspects of urban space, through its social, material and spiritual development. The leftover spaces of our cities suffer many slights. While they are a part of our cities they cannot, on their own, be defined according to set functional categories such as “entertainment” , “retail”, and “administrative” or urban categories such as “public”, “semi-public”, “street” or “plaza”. But leftover (often ‘negative’ spaces can be found within any urban or use category or take on any of these identities.
The project is to find a leftover urban space (‘death point’) and to activate it using design. This space can be either be an open infill site, calling for a new building on what is now a ‘negative space’, or an existing low quality building calling for repair or renovation. Students are to select their own site taking into consideration the functional, aesthetic, cultural and social requirements of urban space. Site should be located within the Tsinghua University campus, which act as model of urban territory. The intent of this studio is to explore new avenues of research and design in urban space and the social landscape. Such thoughtful investigations are critical at this time of increasing frustration with current modes of urban development.

It is about 15 km to the city center and 3 km to the main site of Shou Gang group. The factory located in the first green belt of Beijing, with the total planning area of 249 ha, and factory total area of 84 ha.
The abandoned factory remain a problematic issue and calls for new creative proposal which could address the new creative use, redevelopment and sustainability. The site now are surrounded by complex layer of urban fabric, comprises of migrant village, residential are, commercial center, large infrastructure, park, and ruins.
Shou Gang Er Tong Mechanical Factory was formerly the Beijing Second Mechanical Factory, which was founded in 1958 and went bankrupt in 1992. In 2002 the company was restructured and and moved to the new factory, left the old factory abandoned for almost 10 years.
The studio is divided into two part; urban planning and design, and architectural intervention (housing design). The studio conducted with design workshop, seminar on green building design and sustainability, site visit, and lectures on housing and green building design.

Wanping fortress is an ancient control gate to the capital palace of Beijing. It was erected in 1638-1640 during Ming dynasty, with the purpose of defending Beijing against Li Zicheng and the peasant uprising. It lies adjacent to the Lugou Bridge or also known as Marco Polo bridge which is well-known because it was highly praised by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo during his visit to China in the 13th century (the bridge was ater known in Europe simply as the Marco Polo Bridge), and for the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, which marked the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). A sporadic trace of historical settlement from Qing dynasty can be traced back along Wanping fortress and Marco Polo bridge to the west. These settlement are currently entrapped within the fast urbanization by the high density residential and industrial block. Same thing happen within the walled boundary of Wanping Fortress where old residential settlement are squeezed to the wall by the new linear commercial street. One can find a contrast appearance of the ‘shiny’ facade along the street with the desolate living environment behind the shops. The Beijing government plans to construct a visionary ‘Yonding river ecological corridor’ in the intersection across the path of historical patch is a promising opportunity to revitalize the historical patch while improving the living condition of the old settlement. This revitalization process seek a new design platform and approach from what has been generally implemented in urban development, such as commercialization of historical form for tourism and economic oriented purpose. The attempt to solve the ‘entrapment’ problem which dealing with housing density issue took a specific site of ‘marcopolo island’, which sits opposite the Wanping fortress and was cut across by linear accessibility from Marco Polo bridge. The theme ’Liberating The Marco Polo Island’ is to address the specific problem solving to the above problem.
