[Intro] Located nearby the river Thames, InBetween is an urban design project that critically examines to what extend spatial connection and physical mobility through the city, could become a new practice to prevent social segregation and meanwhile, to increase the cultural capital in our daily lives. T h ro u g h c o l l e c t i n g , a n a l y z i n g a n d simulating data, in three different scales, we define a zone of intervention with particular characteristics. The data analytics, projected on the site, create new interpretations of the relationship between the selected spots. Movement zones, areas with high popularity, areas with increased visibility values or high integration are distinguished, introducing a new DATASCAPE, a new perspective of interpreting city’s potential to promote and host cultural creation and experience, to transform into an urban stage, a culture archipelagos. 5
| DATA COLLECTION_DEMOGRAPHIC DATA COLLECTION 6
At various stages in history, our civilization has created artefacts that ‘bind’ time and space, technologies and artefacts that would be able to sustain through the ages. Under today’s conditions of instantaneous, multi-way communication, our experience and perception of time and space differences change. The cultural artefacts that emerge from our culture are ephemeral in nature they exist precisely in the present, and can only be experienced, by creating a narrative in which we are telling the story to ourselves. Nowadays, massive participation is possible in the creation of cultural expressions at different physical times, from various locations, with the perception of simultaneity and immediate proximity. Such proximity implies the creation of cultural artefacts that ‘bind the present’ and transcend ephemerality. Such creations are both reflexive and recursive. The new cultural landscape is the set of complex, interacting and dynamic processes in which we participate – the new artefact of experience in the ever-present presence.

A point of interest, or POI, is a specific point location that someone may find useful or interesting. It is usually recorded by mobile devices, which can provide geolocation and time-aware POI service. This kind of place is where people like to gather, can intuitively recognize as a place that cultural activities or events will be held frequently. Point of interest can be categorized by indoor and outdoor activities; indoor can also be categorized by consumption or production point.
| DATA COLLECTION_MACRO AND MESO SCALES - INDOOR CULTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE CATEGORIES 9
In an effort to understand the correlations between data from different sources, a series of resampling processes are performed to unify different data qualities under the same resolution without sacrificing their precision. Data are projected on two different scales of grid cells, an 100*100 meter in macro scale and 10*10 in meso scale. Macro scale indicates, how our site is influenced by the rest of the city and the Meso scale explores the interactions of the urban blocks. On the map below, the white squares represent the final cells that remained after overlapping both grids with the road network.

The aim of this model is to simulatE human movement around the site, initiating their routeS from the nearby public transport terminals. The agents are set to move with the speed of 2m/s and they have the ability to search for a potential event up to 4.500 meters radius. Three different agent categories were created in order to simulate accurately various behavioural patterns. In order to explore the relation between agents, correlation settings were applied. Each point connects with its 10 closest points but only the ones with length less than 10 meters remain after the final filtering.

Among the segregated parts of the city, a new path is created within the urban fabric. The function growth analysis contributed in developing the spatial sequences of our proposed program by correlating multiple systems, which exclude simple collage or imposition and encourage contributive coexistence of urban layers. Our purpose is to stretch the threshold between private and public, indoor and outdoor into a porous zone with establishing a gradient of experience. 21

[Intro] Since the site locates at the edge of the old town, L’EXIANPLE and the end point of Meeidiana’s Meridian Avenue, our concept is to rearrange the fabric of the city by placing vast greenery to act as the “lung” of Barcelona. The zoo should give care to the animals in extinction and injury in the priority. While on the other hand, the university besides can support the research to the zoo and the educational facility will promote a new way of animal care. The impression of the zoo will change from serving humanity into taking care of animals. Everything in the zoo will be an animal perspective. Therefore, animals could live free from the human footprint, all the facilities in the site will wither hide under the landscape or disguise as part of it for returning the land to the animals. After coming to the zoo, people can explore and realise the original beauty of Barcelona. 45

Site located next to Barcelona old town and closed to the infrastructure such as the port and railway system. At the same time, it is in Cerdà's L'eixample plan as the endpoint of Meridiana's Meridian Avenue and intersects with a grid system. From the overall green open spatial distribution of Barcelona, the green space in L'eixample is more than in old town. As the large-scale green space intersected with L'eixample and old town, the site is a best intermediary space for leisure and activities. 20c Animal conservation
| SITE POSITIONING
What will become the next zoo type? “Animal’s home”.
The climate and the geographical conditions will be the factor which decided what kind of animals suit here and returns the space to them from humanity. Extend the context of surrounding environment, and contain the axis according to the function around, we separate the site into two part. On the south side, use topography and trees to create an open space for animals. The other side, open the boundary to import pack activities and university resources.

Applying the elements of the native landscape of Barcelona to create a natural habitat. Provides a broad area for herbivores to love freely through the mountains. Regarding carnivorous animals, use simulated terraced fields for them to rest safely. To reduce the human disturbance to animals, the route and service center of tourist will be under the hills. Tourist can observe animals through the window of landscape architecture, at the same time animal can only see a mirror. Furthermore, we use research and medical area to open the boundary for interacting with surrounding context.

The light rail is like a yeast. We wish different stations have different types. When the environment changes, the size of the module could be controlled to change the light rail surrounded environment. 49
In the past, traditional railway cut this place into two parts. However, the prior job of light rail nowadays is a transit system that connects the city. We used the concept of “yeast”, hope to redefine the surrounding of light rail stations to enhance the quality of pedestrian systems.
C1 located in the residential area, unlike other stations have massive building and development project nearby. The open space and sidewalk in C1 aren’t as good as other stations. To reduce this problem to happen in the future. We try to use the way of modularization, using C1 station to make an demonstrate plan for other station to duplicate.

| SITE ANALYSIS
The concepts of modularization are to use fixed size to deconstruct the city. Under the colonization of Japanese, the roads of Kaohsiung are wide and occupied most of the urban space. Lack of sidewalk and green belt is a common problem. The characteristic of C1 that locates in the residential area made it much more critical than other stations to conform to residents’ needs.

B.Unit in multiple of 4 meters as the restriction could limit the lowest quality. After analysis, unit 4m made modularization easier to connect. Moreover, facing the rapid change of urban form, 4m unit has strong adaptivity for single-change, instead of destroying the whole system. C.Under the fixed modularization, we redefine the demand extent of car system and pedestrian system. For example, 4m car lane, parking space, and light rail systems; resting space surrounded by street furniture, square and street tree respectively. With additional special facilities such as electronic car charging station, bus station, bicycle land to reach the regulation go green transportation and human scale living environment.

SITE
[Intro] Replace the redundant original community activity center. Design a new community activity center which complies with the Building Technical Regulations, and after comprehensive analyzing and rethinking of the population and the demand of Bao-An District, we choose a vacant space to build a new community center. With the concept of "gather", we selected programs and distributed them into different floors. Separate diverse users to make sure everyone's right to use would not interfere. Making the new activity center became a place meets the residents of all ages. 55
The site locates in a commercial district, which is typically very lively and full of activities. Normally, the original community center was used by the older generation to hold vigorous activity. Hence, there is a lack of spaces for the younger generation to study and relax. In our consideration, the community center should be utilized by all regeneration. That is the design concept that to design a second community center to fulfill all generations need.
The advantages of situated in the commercial center are that there will always have many people to use the center. However, the building environment usually is very chaos and lack of chances to reach sun and green open spaces. Therefore, the building is designed to become a place for sellers and their children to take a rest.

[INTRO] Rethinking the releasing lands after the Tainan railway underground plan. Utilizing the flow of commuters to increase the visibility of culture creative industries, creating a hub for designers to gather around and strengenthen this industy's influence. Instead of the traditional culture creative industrial park, Tainan train station is surrounded by an university and diverse commercial district. Hence, it not only could build a new employment environment and also provide a widen leisure space to improve open spaces quantities of the city center. 59

There is a severe shortage of space in front of the station. Need square space planning. To reach mutual advantages, new added culture creative industry will need university resources. Enterprises are one of the resources to fund this area.

[INTRO] Three stages of urban imagination design. Use different scale, 1:200, 1:500, and 1:1000 to collage personal city unit. The first stage is to observe our hometown and transform it into two scenes, 1:200 80cmx80cm scale, plan design. Need to redefine four elements, including green spaces, water spaces, streets and squares, and buildings. The second stage is a four people group work. Teammates need to collage their 1:200 into 1:500 scale. The most important is, only the same elements could be connected. The third stage is an 8-9 people group work which is 16-18 pieces puzzles. 63
With the restriction to connect only the same elements, which means water to water and road to road, gradually increased the difficulty of collaging from stage to stage. Moreover, we need to consider the different characteristic of the city, including the urban core, transition, fringe. Make sure the coherence of plan and vertical also the external and internal relations.
This collage contain 5 different scene. From left to the right, we used different colour tone to represent a day's time. This urban stage are composed of riverside park, Dadu mountain, Keelung city and Kaohsiung port. Therefore, it is redefined to be a daily leisure activities space.
