01 Re[gene]ration East Beijing Road District Urban Design Fall 2017 | Studio project Tongji University Teammate:Wanlin Zhang,Zeyi Jiang Instructor:Ming Tong,Lei Pang

Using local resources to repair the disconnection among different old and new elements, this project carries out micro urban renewal through small-scale universal intervention. In this central city of Shanghai, the existing cultural activities and lifes habits of the site can be used as opportunities of restoration. By identifying high-quality architectural pattern language"genes", combined with corresponding spatial strategies, these genes will be reinserted into the site, regenerating and reshaping the vitality of the city.

1920S:Nanjing East Road Commercial Street The tourists and visitors always have a regular route from the Peaple’s park to Nanjing East Road Commercial Street and The Bund.They hardly know things back behind the prosperi-ty,which is the real life for Shanghai local people.

1930S:Lilong Area The migrant population accounts for more than 80%,which contributes to the breakdown of social connection in Lilong communities.The physical environment is also in low quality.

1950S:Hardware Materials Street Due to the intensive distribution of the hardware industry around Beijing East Road ,the function in this area is simple and the pedestrain environment is poor.Migrant workers usually stay at their hardware workplace,not having opportunity to visit surroudning area.

1930S:Historical Theatre Building

2000S:Riverfront High-rise Residential

Because of the mismatch of surrounding commercial operation and lack of appeal of contents,few people visited these historical theatres which hardly make a profit.

These residential area occupy the riverside beautiful scenary.Residents with high income always chose arterial road to commute,avoiding walking into the ruined Lilong area.

SITE CONTEXT Our site is located in the heart of Shanghai, the district in the north of East Nanjing Road and south of Suzhou creek.There are great merits of this site:The transportation is convenient.East Nanjing Road commerical Street is the most famous one in China,attracting a lot of visitors,where also many historical buildings exist. What’s more,the scenary of Suzhou creek is beautiful as attration for visitors. However, the problems are serious and complex because buidlings in site are built in different ages.The old traditional residential, called as “Lilong”,are at the backside of East Nanjing Road with bad environment.The hardware retail here is also decreasing because of transformation of contemporary consumption patterns.In a word,it is a site with both great threats and opportunities.

DIAGNOSIS AND EXTRACTION “Genes”are pattern language of relationship between people’s activity characteristic and physical space, which is influenced by urban form and distributed universally and relatively stable. The bad "genes" become the cracks in site,hindering the social connection and the identity of whole area.So we try to extract the good "genes" in site,which reveals local culture preference and life habits.Then we draw a mapping with photos of“genes” and diagrammatic sketches of good “genes”,which shows the basic pattern language exsiting in this area. We divided “genes”into 3 types based on kinds of space with different scales.Red ones are distributed around large important historical buildings;yellow ones are distributed within communities;Blue ones are distributed along the street.

REGENERATION STRATEGY & DESIGN PROCESS 1. Large scale: Regional boundaries & historical buildings

Utilize the important building nodes, adjust the relationship between resources and interfaces, open the passageway and the square. These methods can save the bad situation of Eastern Nanjing Road and Lilong community's disconnection, leading to interaction among different functions and activities of groups of people.

2. Medium scale: Lilong community & surrounding functions

Adjust resources of public space inside community area. Transform private-public space into the semi-public space serving for city.These methods can lead to complementary and sharing of functions and activities among different parts. The relationship among Lilong community, office area and historical buildings becomes further integrated.

The oldest urban area in Can Tho, Binh Thuy is home to historic temples and heritage sites that exist alongside traditional stilt houses adjacent to the water. As the city rapidly urbanizes, canals become roads, embankments displace stilt houses, and impermeable surfaces replace green space. Can Tho is at risk of losing its water identity and is more vulnerable to land subsidence and flooding.

We think that landscape and cultural conservation can be a driver for adapting water-based livelihoods into resilient growth. Conservation goes beyond preserving historic landmarks; It identifies vernacular patterns— wetlands, canals, dikes, docks, floating structures, stilt houses, agriculture and aquaculture—as cultural assets. And we try to develop these asset to adaptive typologies as a conservation strategy, which can not only protect the water-retaining landscape and promote biodiverse habitats, decreasing the vulnerability of Can Tho when confronting flooding emergency or sea level rise, but also can extend productive aquaculture and green spaces, prioritize locally-harvested food and diversify jobs, while achieving new urban development and growth.

SYMBIOTIC GROWTH WITH ADAPTED WATER-BASED TYPOLOGIES Our strategy is Letting Water In and Water-Based Development based on different site condition.

For con son island, we promote agro-tourism by programing with local technique and remain its livelihood, as well as enhance its connection to mainland by water-based transit.

For Biny Thuy, we reintroduce lost canal as well as bring in new canals to form a complete canal system along with green spaces. And w e p ro p o s e h i g h g ro u n d development along canal as a new strategy for urban growth.

For An thoi site, instead of blocking out the water with world bank embankment, we make use of the existing green space along river to form a soft waterfront edge, building renovated stilt house upon it to let water in and absorbed.

Canal Through Urban Village For those going through urban village, we let canals go under pedestrian road and elevate other roads by using cut and f ill.

Productive Terrace For where the world bank wall has been halfy built, we install terrace and outreach platforms to purify water passing through and celebrate the waterfront view.

Elavated Stilt House For the area built out by stilt houses with more houses behind, water still needs to be kept out. So we build at least one more story as the embankment wall when f loods come.

Aquaculture Neighbourhood For stilt houses with green space behind, we build gradient edge. During dry season, it can be public space with topography; while in wet season it serves as water retention park.

WATER-BASED DEVELOPMENT

Agro Tourism For those going through urban village, we let canals go under pedestrian road and elevate other roads by using cut and f ill.

Extension & Growth For where the world bank wall has been halfy built, we install terrace and outreach platforms to purify water passing through and celebrate the waterfront view.

Productive Urban Forest along Canal For canals going through existing green space, we transform it to productive forest or farms, using the canal as there irrigation system.

High Ground Development along Canal There will also be high ground construction along some canals taking advantage of cut and f ill. Where we will build productive urban forest and multilayer new housing typology.

TEST SITE: LET WATER IN + WATER-BASED DEVELOPMENT

Combining Old One with New Water-Based Community This site is located in an abandoned land adjacant to an exisiting old urban village area. So we want to seek its opportunity on both conservation and development.

Because these high ground development are resilient. So after using techniques, we also implement several programs to treat this community as a public facility corridor, such as public program like stewardship program, supermarket, recreation program like fishing pond, The most importent connection is community corridor, these elevated wood decks can function both as gathering space but also rainwater collecting point, which could embrace the existing urban pattern into the new resilient livelihood.

02 3 Foodbay Urban Design of Hudson Valley, NY Fall 2018 | Urban Design Studio II Columbia University Teammate: Zeyi Jiang, Huiwon Hong, Tanaya Kadam, Jianqi Li Instructor: Lee Altman, Justin Moore, Wendy Andringa, Jerome Haferd, Christopher Kroner, David Smiley

FOOD BAY is a new model for the regional foodshed, joining small-scale farms with local and regional markets. Since more and more farms in the Hudson Valley suffer from insufficient or obsolete infrastructure as well as lack of affordable access to marketing opportunities, the HUDSON CITY FOOD-BAY proposes a new sharing economy, sited along the historic waterfront, to enhance and join farming, production, and distribution. A new food hub benefits local residents and farmers, as well as tourists, enhances waterfront viability and, at the regional scale, sets up a distribution system using the Hudson River once again as useful infrastructure.

Historically, agriculture was central to many communities in the Hudson Valley, and supported many sub-sector infrastructures such as storage, processing, distribution, equipment and even banking. In recent years, however, food deserts have emerged as part of the long-term disinvestment that has made life in the Valley hard for many residents. Part of this decline has been the declining profitability of the region’s many small farms, and the disappearance its necessary infrastructures.

So too have Hudson Valley waterfronts declined. Once home to commercial markets, warehouses and docks, the waterfronts were eclipsed by railway, and then highway, systems.

The Hudson City Food-Bay creates a new hub or node in the regional food system. It connects individual growers with distribution operations at the waterfront. More broadly, the Hub opens up the bottleneck between farmers and markets by creating shared processing and distribution operations, enabling micro-food businesses, teaching new food-related skills, and offering locals and visitors access to healthy, locally-produced food. The Food-Bay dramatically activates the Hudson City waterfront and reconnects the city with the river.

At the regional scale, the FOOD-BAY “Floating Farmers Market” connects Columbia County farmers to other cities in the Valley and even to New York City, creating a more diverse and sustainable HV food system.

People's memory can be recalled through potential features of spaces in dailylife, so the overlapping of spaces with different features can produce strong intentions visually and mentally. Located in where the industrial recession and the creative industry development is happening, this project could be a node as an emblem of creativity to reunite the sense of identity and vitality of the region.Scenarios on overlapping terrace,multi-height plantform, are undertook to evoke memories of local residents and provide possibilities for new activities.

HISTORY OF YANGPU DISTRICT

1900S-1920S

Several famous universties were established in yang-pu district.

1950S-1970S

Many industries established here to promote development.Their workers lived in the“worker’s village”.

1990S-2015

traditional industry decreased. Making use of universties to reinforce the development of creative industry. Many creative industries gathered here.

FUTURE OF YANGPU DISTRICT: CREATIVITY&INNOVATION

FUTURE PROPOSAL The metabolism of industry mode was followed by transformation of workers—from industry workers to creative workers. But the metabolism of residents are delayed and need a “harmonious transition”-appealing the new workers to come in while respecting the history and life habit of old residents in workers’ village.

Use exsiting centers of creative industry circle and creative parks as new hub to :1.promote the interaction among the universities,creative industries and woker’s village communities. 2.redefine the identity of Yangpu District as region of creativity and innovation.

SITE PLANNING & LANDSCAPE DESIGN Siping road is connected with metro line10 near the site. And I found that the site was located among the Tongji universty,creative industry and workers’village residence, which can be a potential attraction and promote the interaction among different people. So i arrange the streamlines to interweave three different disctrict together and to intersect at the “red iron ring”, recalling people's memory of this site. university

TERRACE TYPOLOGY- MULTI-LEVEL PLATFORM TO COLLAGE LOCAL MEMORIES This site potentially can be a new hub for the district that could reinforce interrelationships among students, creative workers and residents by creating a shared visible symbol and platform for activities of a diverse population. Accordingly, I tried to redefine the site by collaging different daily activities‘ “details” to form a multi-level platform, in which specialized landscapes could fit existing activities in three areas: university, creative office and workers’ village community. The visibility and collaged landscape could support multiple activities and give people a new sense of the whole district as a creative place, recalling people’s memory and linking surrounding areas physically and mentally.

5 Informal Intersection 04 Hong Zhen Old Street Residential Construction Detailed Planning Spring 2016 | Studio Project Tongji University Instructor:Yao Cheng The commercial in the old Shanghai community is spontaneous where people encounter with each other. By morphological study on the relationship between formation of informal commerce and road intersection, the prototype is applied to the modern residential area planning.Thses informal intersections was set as node to build public facilities and define publicity and privacy. I hope that this is an open, mixed and well shared residential community which ensure the exclusive enjoyment of resources and activities for every particular population.

SITE ANALYSIS Residential type

Urban public facility

Using the mapping and field condition to analyze the perceptive appearances and actual situations of urban&green program around the site are exposed and illustrated.It is clear that various types of residential area with entrance guard block the openness and continuity of the public and greening system, aggravating social injustice.On the other hand,urban public facilities are decentralized in site and fails to present a continuous system.

Through observation, it is found that due to the lack of planned early infrastructure, the emergence of formal and informal businesses are spontaneous, which mostly are built by residents themselves. These commercial or grocery nodes are mostly distributed at informal road intersections. The characteristics of these intersections are different from ones perpendicular to each other.They tend to be the intersection of different urban grids.

05 6 Transformative Design for Urban Village Fabrics and Typologies: New York City - Global Liede Village, Guangzhou, China Fall 2018 | Urban Design Seminar Columbia University Teammate: Zeyi Jiang, Jianqi Li Instructor: Richard Plunz

Liede Village is located near the new central axis of Guangzhou. This central district used to be a rural area. Due to sprawl, the farmland was requisitioned by the government to become urbanized. Large areas of farmland were occupied for development. The government compensated the villagers and left a few plots for the villagers to build their own houses. Therefore, the houses in these few plots grew freely and gradually increased in density, forming today’s “urban village” with traditional fabric. Surrounded by new high-rise residential and office buildings, the contrast between the two fabrics forms a kind of “urban psoriasis”.

The current site is a mix of commercial and residential built in 2007, after demolition of Liede Village. The new fabric lost the scale of social space and original cohesion of the villagers’ lives. Our proposal restores the social qualities of the original fabric and returns neighborhood life to the residents. We reinforce three important spatial characteristics of the village. 1. Because it is easy to drain, the road structure of site is a “fishbone” pattern with the main road paralleling the northwest Liede River and the houses arrayed along the branches. 2. The temple remains in the northwest area near the river as an important social place for villagers. 3.

Street activities are reinforced, as people lack available indoor space, so they are inclined to put the original indoor activities like cooking or watching TV on the street.

Our proposal focuses on re-establishing the sense of village scale and social space, while reducing the density of the “urban village” to ensure adequate daylight and ventilation. For the ground plan we propose a tributary to introduce Liede Chong as the main public space, while also functioning as a rain garden. Multi-story dwellings face the temple in northwest corner, showing a “fishbone” pattern. Sky corridors and public spaces connect to elevator shafts between the buildings. Residents can enjoy multiple paths and walks through small public spaces during their journey home, increasing the chance of encounters. The apartment units become residential “capsules,” with implantation of a small movable living unit. The proposal changes the public-private spatial relationships through minimizing the private space while maximizing the sub-public space as a new kind of living room.

06 7 Breaking the Barrier Urban Design of Broadway Junction, Brooklyn, NY Summer 2018 | Urban Design Studio I Columbia University Teammate: Zeyi Jiang, Greg LeMaire, Aniket Dikshit Instructor: Kaja Kühl, Brian Baldor, Hayley Eber, Sagi Golan, Tricia Martin, Shachi Pandy, Austin Sakong The East New York IBZ contains about 250 businesses housing about 3,000 jobs. The City and the Economic Development Council have plans to double these in the next 10 years. Towards the IBZ’s western edge is an elevated structure carrying the L train south, below which there is a depressed “trough” area which is between 100-130 ft wide and 25 ft below street level. This cut currently acts as a barrier between the IBZ and the neighboring Brownsville, which is home to 86,377 residents and has an average unemployment rate of 16% and poverty rate of 37%.

Our intervention is a multi-use, multidisciplinary education and skill building campus which aims to turn this barrier into a catalyst for symbiotic growth and capacity building. Using a modular system constructed on site by local IBZ businesses, we are activating the structure under the El to create 3 main skill campuses for current and growing fields: Green Tech, Industrial Tech and Kitchen Tech. Each concentration will have classroom and hands-on learning components in conjunction with local partners, and “bridge” training will offer general ed, certification classes and apprenticeships. Linking these campuses, a greenway will allow for easy circulation between, counteract some of the negative IBZ effects, and provide a new green space for the community.

BY PROCESSING WITH PYTHON Fall 2018 | Data Mining the City Columbia University Instructor: Violet Whitney

INTERACTION AND VISUALIZATION 1. Import a map with bird habitats.

ABSTRACT In this programming project, we try to use simulation model to test the importance of different factors’ effect on bird migration. The simulation model also can give a guideline of existing habitats protection. The logic of algorithm is based on the assumption that each birds can make a wise decision based on their energy consumption on each possible migration route. The factors used for environmental impacts on birds choices of migration including location and size of habitats, maximum flying distance per time and distance between two habitats. In terms of interaction and practical application, users can implement different size of habitats based on their research area’s condition and find out which habitats and migration route should be protected urgently. Learning from this model, urban designers can use this for habitats ot other kinds of resources’ protection guideline to lead their strategy on urban development, children and people in society can realize the importance of protecting each habitats.

2. Use mouse to drag the start and end points on map.

4. Press simulate to start the simulation.

LOGIC OF ALGORITHM A. Establish habitats and connect different habitats

D. Calculate the energy consumption Calculate the energy consumption of all possible paths from the start point to the end point by algorithm.

B. Filter out the paths connecting habitats which are too long.

E. Get birds density of each routes Get the number of birds flying on each route through an inverse ratio equation: birdsamount= int(birdsamountfactor/energy) C. Energy consumption rules The energy consumed per unit of flight distance is constant. At the same time, birds can replenish energy while they reach habitat. So the equation of energy consumption is:

The birds amount of each route= a predetermined parameter/ energy consumption of each route.

Energy = int (distance*j-habitat _energy) The energy comsumption of each path = Energy loss based on the distance of flight between habitats+Energy supplement based on scale of habitats which birds arrive at.

Birdsamount1= int(3000/28)=107

Birdsamount2= int(3000/22)=136

SIMULATION RESULTS

Through the simulation, we find out that most of time there are not only one best route but several similar good solutions. More obvious is that some habitats are passed through by huge amount of birds. So maybe we can acknowledge more information about which habitat are more important on the process of bird migration. Based on this we can strategically choose the most valuable habitats to protect for resilience of urban development.

PROPOSAL OF FUTURE CORSET

Sensor

detect what types of environment you are engaged with

In our imagination, we think the future corset should help people to maximize their body performance depends on different environmental conditions. We can achieve this goal through two different methods.

One is about orderly and appropriate control, another one is about optimization of body performance.

Polyurethane Panels

In terms of materials that could be controlled properly, we try to use elastic latex combined with mesh metal material at points of articulation to make sure every types of rotation and stretching works well.

In terms of controlling, we can utilize the latest artificial intelligence technology to realize it. The proposed controller could produce different degrees of control based on different physical environment condition or specific instruction from wearers.

For example, during sports, the corset could use its proposed sensor to detect what types of environment you are engaged with (land, air and underwater). Based on that, the sensor could further detect the velocity and pressure of fluid environment, and human body’s state of motion. Then corset can adjust strength of pressure to different body parts. We hope the future corset could be a necessity which dressed by people 24/7 and facilitates people to carry out their daily life more efficiently and healthily.

USER INTERFACE DESIGN *Instruction of how to use this website

INTRODUCTION Aftering watching tons of movies which were shoot in NYC, we are curious about what places in NYC are the most popular spots to filmmakers and directors. We want to visualize the data of Film Permits in NYC to reveal the distribution of some areas that are frequently appeared in the films because of their specific cultural identities, such as theater district and time square.

Our targeted audiences are: Film fans and NYC enthusiast. We expect that they have some prior knowledge of several classic films taken in NYC so that they can have a basic idea about these popular acting scenes.Hopefully his can help them expand the scope of their knowledge about NYC films and NYC’s cultural heritage and deepen the understanding and interest of New York City.

Our most important observations from this website are: Most of film permits happened in our familiar famous places.

(Ex: Time Square, Chinatown, Theater District) Except Manhattan, Brooklyn is the borough which has the most film permits.

In terms of film permits, TV’s > Film’s > Theater’s.

Theater permits are highly concentrated in Theater District (Precinct14 & 18).

INTERACTION RESULT

*A choropleth map that shows the geographical distribution of the acting scenes with some interactions.

*An information box that gives you a brief introduction about the acting scenes of the area the barchart highlights.

*Interactive bar charts with top ten most popular precincts of a particular category the audience chooses.
