What If Urban Village Can Metabolize In China, with the continuous development of urbanization, a large number of urban villages are demolished every year. Displacement, unemployment and unfair compensation are all problems caused by this simple demolition. It can be said that this simple demolition is only to put these irregular elements to the edge of the city, but not really consider the meaning and value of the urban village. The new upgraded strategy will regard the urban village as an organism to respect their social significance along with urban development and pay attention to the self-metabolism and the residents' participation.

DEMOLISHED AREA OF URBAN VILLAGE IN CHINA 2016 Lots of residents are suffering from displacement triggered by rapid demolition of urban villages and are losing their shelters.

The social conflicts between residents and the government caused by the annual large-scale demolitions are the focus of modern city planner.

STRUCTURE At present, the beautification and modernization of the city is the dominant position in urban planning. On the surface, this thorough reconstruction of urban villages is only to improve the living condition and public facilities located in cities, but in fact, it destroys the cheap housing and leads

to displacement. As a result, problems triggered by demolishment can only be left to the future. The new upgrade strategy can regard the urban village as an organism and respect the value of their existence. The new metabolic upgrade strategy is more suitable and reasonable for the

relationship between urban and human in the future.

Therefore, this new strategy of renewal will be applied in a larger range and become a universal mode of urban villages' upgrading.

Paris Riverside Restaurant Paris and the entire country of France are famous for its cuisine whose reputation is very rich, cultured and diverse. Therefore, in order to maximize the use of the waterfront context, the promenade into the architecture concept and the diet culture, containers are considered to be the main element of this riverside restaurant. Finally, the restaurant constructed by containers creates an architectural icon along the River Seine, that will become a popular destination for the residents and everyone who visit the city.

The Kowloon Walled City Museum The Kowloon Walled City was a settlement for urban vagrants for some historical reasons. As a microcosm of social development in Hong Kong’s history, it created an independent and isolated small world. Residents shared less than 2 square meters per person. However, nowadays, the demolition of this Walled City initiates lots of people’s memories. The design of the Kowloon City museum regards public spaces, especially stairs, as a unique space language and combines light with texture to bring people a sense of guidance. Utilization of transformed architecture space language can reshape a Walled City Museum filling with memories. As a result, any visitor can experience unique scenes while going through various spaces.

LIFE IN KOWLOON CITY

Stairs

Without municipal services, there was no rubbish collection. Old and bulky items were hauled to the roof and abandoned. Other rooftops were used for exercise, playground, relaxing and pigeon racing.

People have to go through complex space by stairs

There were several scattered schools and kindergartens in the Kowloon Walled City. There were also brothels, gambling dens operated with impunity.

Most mental fabrication shops were found between the ground and fifth floors.

Getting through the serried narrow alleys, residents carried umbrellas to prevent dropping water pipes.

There were 77wells inside the city, some were 90 meters deep.

24

SPACE TRANSFORMATION The narrow passageway filling with stairs was the public space to relate residents' lives. Take these public space units as separate spatial languages. The exhibition space of the museum make changes according to the typology of these public spaces and emphasize the sense of scene in each public space by morphing. Light, as an important direction, leads visitors to experience different scenes. Therefore, every space just like a movie scene to recall the lifestyle in this City.

Commu-Line XiaoZhai is a famous commercial center and attraction of Xi'an, but a conflict between a single business development model and the surrounding old streets gradually increase.

To illustrate, on the one hand, a mounting number of people triggers traffic pressure, on the other hand, closed old streets is isolated by surrounding buildings. As a result, residents have to move from this block which becomes a gathering place for many vagrants. In order to alleviate this existing conflict, the new project serves as a bridge to connect inside and outside to highlight the humanistic care behind commercial development. Discarded spaces serve as a center of the Commu-line, exterior part connects the commercial buildings to disperse the flow of people, and the interior part stimulates interaction. Three parts together to create a vibrant urban space.

GREENING PLAN Different greening boundaries affect people's behaviors.

Beautiful gardens, trees, seats and walking crowds are places along concave or convex greening spaces. Zigzag space creates a sense of enclosure and pleasure.

In addition, considering people prefer to sit on the edge rather

than in the middle, so the edge of the greening track has to be designed for resting and enjoying sightseeing. On the contrary, a straight boundary, compared to a boundary with a lot of concave and convex changes, is more suitable for walking.

PROGRAMS

The east side of the connection system connects all existing commercial buildings to make commercial interaction be more vibrant. Multi-functional spaces cross through an open block to satisfies a various requirement for nearby people. Finally, the purpose of stimulating the vitality of old blocks and balancing the outside crowd is achieved.

Energy Bloom A New Local Renewable Infrastructure... Algae Energy Bloom taps into algae, a simple plant-like photosynthetic organism that can create fuel and help build an independent grid for Hudson. Through industrial sites, new infrastructure, wetland conservation, and public space integration we can connect people to their Hudson; redefining what industry looks like through a new local power culture.

Our goal is to create a new type of micro-grid; unique to the areas they serve, where resources, production, storage, and electric distribution is redefining the connection people have to their local industrial nodes. We want to reconnect the relationship people have to the basic question… “Where does your energy come from?”

We want to design a resilient community that proudly answer… “In our backyard”.

TALES OF TWO NEW YORKS (Aging Infrastructure)

We are all dependent on energy and when our supply is cut off, we are vulnerable. Every year, thousands of New Yorkers experience electricity outages due to obsolete infrastructures, distant management, high pricing, and climate change.

In New York State, most of the energy is produced in house from fossil fuels and part of it comes

from Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast supply network. When this energy reaches NY State, it finds an aging infrastructure divided into two New York with an unequal supply system: While downstate region massively consumes energy, the upstate region overproduce it and rely mostly on renewable energy like wind and solar panels.

The problem is that this system creates a Choke Point between a highly producing and highly consumption making regions like Hudson Valley not just experience common blackouts, but also pay the most expensive energy bills in the state.

On top of that, India Point Nuclear Power Plant will be

closed in 2021 leaving a huge gap of energy to the State.

Moreover, we have Governor Cuomoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trend to transform 50% of New York State energy into renewable by 2030. He wants to achieve 800% of wind and solar projects by 2030.

Energy Bloom proposed to look elsewhere for a reliable, sustainable energy supply system, in algae.

INDUSTRIES/ CHAMPLAIN DIAGRAM

The closure of Indian Point Nuclear Plant will leave a lack of 20 million MW of energy that will be supplied by the future Champlain Hudson Power Express, which will bring 1000 terawatts of energy from Canada directly to New York City through Hudson River and Champlain River bed.

We see this as a unique opportunity to take advantage

of this infrastructure and available budget to create a local and renewable micro-grid through Hudson Valley heritage industrial sites and available sources.

Hudson Valley has a tide history with its energy industries.

Hudson City, for example, was the pioneer, transformed from a village into a city because of its whale port which used to ship oil to the entire US. With the post-development depression, much of these industries moved away leaving behind an abandoned infrastructure and

damage environment.

Our proposal is to instead of letting CHEP brings energy from Canada directly to NY City, we will use this infrastructure to temporarily supply the counties in between through this new renewable sources which will be transformed in a new micro-grid system of energy production, storage, and distribution.

Among the existing sources, we identified opportunities for algae bloom, sawmills, lumber yards and landfills for solid waste.

In Hudson, this unique resource opportunity is now seen as a problem but could harvest this potential. Typically, algae and algae blooms are considered a problem, and when unmanaged, a serious liability. But the same algae have unique qualities that can be exploited affordably and locally.

Algae itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a photosynthetic living organism that is seen as a plant, due to high use of fertilizer and

management of some of these rural areas around Hudson is creating seasonal algae blooms that negatively affect the ecosystem around it by blocking sunlight and oxygenizing the water along with polluting the marine life. In our project, we plan, through this structure, to manage the negative effects of this outdoor cycle and reduce this process by simultaneously farming to produce energy in large amounts indoors. Our project works seasonally going between these different outdoor and indoor system.

Many people hold the misconception that only people on the streets are homeless.

In fact, â&#x2026;&#x201D; of the homeless population in NYC are homeless families with children. Two out of three homeless individuals have a family, and they are often homeless together, living in shelters and transitional housing.

65

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their living condition is forcing to live outside of their hometown, Staten Island, because of the lack of shelter in the borough.

From the map, black circles represent neighborhoods where people are becoming homeless, and white circles show where they are sheltered.

The pixels represent the number of facilities available for these families. They include shelters, clusters, and repurposed-hotels.

So SI North Shore has a significant number of homeless individuals and only one shelter within the whole borough.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE & TYPOLOGIES There are a number of existing social service organizations along Bay St, such as CAMBA, Project Hospitality, and public health organization. However, there is little space dedicated to supporting homeless families.

Despite the need for more facilities, residents on Staten

Island hold a strong NIMBY attitude towards the city’s effort. A new design typology is needed.

So these existing organizations could be opportunities for partnership with the new design interventions proposed by our team. We believe that inclusive design should restore the sense of Social equity as well as an identity within the community.

We developed three design principles to achieve a cohesive design, Relieve, Rehabilitate, and Re-engage. Through community outreach and research, we identified a list of programs that serve both the residents and homeless families. We consolidated these “needs” into 6 design interventions, which are included in our proposal.

Locker Reading shelves Mailbox Charger Bulletin board

The pilot program starts from a parking lot which is existing gathering space (farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market).

Surrounded by public facilities and visual access from Bay st, so we propose that this pilot serves as extensions to these organizations, allowing them to bring their service outdoors as a way to reengage the public, like an outdoor library, social service outreach, and outdoor event space. Furthermore, we introduce a new program - a community locker - to this

69

pilot. The reason to propose lockers is homeless families cannot receive help when they do not have a mailing address.

Property theft and robbery are one of the most severe issues for the homeless. Meanwhile, it also creates a sense of ownership.

For design, the shape of structure breaks from the street grid and provides access and activates the space, by providing visual and physical access. To design multi-functional programs the smallest scale is a small

personal locker as the program changes, and then scale these units morph into larger functional pieces specific to the program.

The light-weight structure is designed to be easily constructed, cheap to fabricate, and flexible to customization and also serves as a structural prototype for our next phase.

PHASE 1 RELIEVE: COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER the renovation of an unfinished building and its adjacent parking lot into a community resource center. This center includes core living programs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; housing, community kitchen, wellness center, to social and recreation spaces needed within the neighborhood.

PHASE 2 REHABILITATE: RECREATION & YOUTH PROGRAM

We propose the city-owned land to be converted into a recreation and wellness complex. And we believe that public amenities should be equitable for all of the community, including homeless families.

The future vision of this project is the continuation of rehabilitation along Bay St. These interventions will act as nodes that enhance the overall experience along Bay St. Interventions activities should increase pedestrian traffic along this part of Bay St, and so revitalizing its commercial activities, as well as allowing connections to the waterfront.

Global Profit, Local Scarcity Central Valley in California is one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the United States.

Although Central Valley agribusiness is very profitable world-wide, it can be very harmful to some local farmers and residents who struggle to have access to fresh food and water. This scenario is especially true in poor cities like Stockton, where the cropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown and the big part of the revenues are exported to other wealthier areas in California and water treatment can be very costly. Our interest relies on the discrepancy between the value generated from crops and the persistent rates of poverty, hunger and health issues in many counties of Central Valley. Investigating the difference between before and after irrigation development in Central Valley through three aspects: land, water, and air to understand the systems applied to each of this aspect comparing historical and contemporary landscape and business changes.

Rooftop Garden Brooklyn is the borough suffering a high rate of obesity and diabetes because of low accessibility to fresh food.

Also, with the high population in Brooklyn, the lack of groceries and poor public transportation modes such as bus route and make it worse.

What if there are more food distributors, such as urban farms provide fresh food for people nearby.

We propose rooftop gardens to solve the food-related problems, by installing them in certain neighborhoods where need the most significant amount of whole foods.

THE XI In this project we hypothesis whether various locations and twisting angles can help these two towers to take the potential view of Hudson River and the city. And whether this twisted shape is beneficial for enhancing daylight efficiency for these two towers. Tilting towers would be expensive, it worth doing that for a better view?
