Individual Work

This project studied, following the current information society, under the imaginary social form of "time society", what kind of state will the city evolve into? And if the architect in the future is a revolutionary, how to balance the class oppression from the "time society" for the slum people at the bottom of the society, and build an ideal world that can survive and satisfy basic human rights and desires.

The world background of the project comes from the "time supreme" social system in the film "In Time". This design takes Dharavi slums in Mumbai, India as an example, and tries to analyze historical cases of "social forms affecting urban evolution". Explain the possibility of fictional city management mechanism and show its deduction results. In the city of the future, the construction of Dharavi’s "1h polymer" will save the poor in society an hour of survival time to satisfy their desires. It not only meets the basic sustainable survival and equal human rights at the bottom, but also establishes a revolutionary foundation for the formation of a new ideal city that is inclusive, diverse and equal.

Through the extraction, classification and translation of the living space elements of the Dharavi slums, the spatial prototype of "how to satisfy these basic living functions in the shortest path" is studied, the spatial sequence is reorganized, and an infrastructure system is established. This creates more survival time for the people in the slums than in the old space, which is used to make up for the spiritual world that is missing in the life of the two points of work and survival. Therefore, in addition to living space and manufacturing plants, the "polymer" has also added religious centers, music stages, cultural theaters and other facilities to build a diverse living space.

A history of space is necessarily a history of power.

Henri Lefebvre

As the inter-society and society are mutually constructed. all social phenomena are bound to shape spatially.

Urban socio-spatial Socialism

socio-economic background social status living condition lifestyle economic income consumption patterns economic basis

Human society can be divided into five social forms: primitive society , slave society , feudal society , capitalist society , and communist society ( socialist society is the lower stage of communist society). Looking at these ages from another Angle, it presents a sequence of technological society forms: fishing and hunting society -- agricultural society -- industrial society -- information society.

Fishing and hunting society

Clan society is linked by family affection. Due to low productivity and public ownership, products are distributed equally.

Information society

The information society is also called the information society, which is a society where information will play a major role after leaving the industrialized society.

All tribes are equal and gather in blocks along the river.

Planning Building

Cave dwelling and nest dwelling.

Agricultural society

The income of agricultural products is stable, the productivity is high, the surplus products appear, the production system is private.

Planning

The capital is centered on palaces or churches, with a high degree of political concentration, and the city has a clear axis.

Building

Buildings are divided into levels, and different aristocratic classes use buildings of different construction styles.

Counterurbanization:Counter-urbanization, the collapse of centralization, the emergence of multiple centers.

Planning Building

The emergence of intelligent construction and intelligent buildings, the use of buildings is combined with intelligent information control

Industrial society

Machines brought higher productivity, concentrated industrial production in cities, and caused a vicious population expansion.

Planning

Urbanization

With industrial enterprises as the center, workers gathered to form a complete village and town, the city gradually became larger, and the large factory city grew rapidly.

Building

1. New materials, new technologies, and new types of construction appear. High-rise buildings and large-span buildings have emerged.

2. slums

Cities have become crowded, workers have gathered in large numbers, housing shortages have occurred.

The project was inspired by the dystopian film "Time Planning Bureau". In 2050, the time society will come. If the time for labor is not enough to support the basic survival time, people will die immediately because of "overtime". Therefore, time becomes a universal currency, which can be transferred or stored in the time bank. The efficiency of society has become extremely important. Reflected in the evolution of the city: traffic has become extremely developed, high-rise buildings and residential units have become aggregates, industry has evolved into aggregates of intelligent manufacturing, commercial advertisements on the streets have disappeared, and the excitement of the past is no longer .

Hall + Smart Factory

People in the slums enter the aggregate through here and see the pictures of the city in the lobby. The remaining part is the intelligent industrial operation area, where the input and output of industrial materials are carried out.

Workspace

According to people's virtual operation behaviors in 2078, the most efficient form of office is an independent space, manufacturing industry below.

Living Area + Entertainment Area Top Theater

The living area uses modular 3*3 as the unit to generate different apartment types, and the capsule elevator in the core tube connects the living and working areas. The entertainment area is more flexible and contrasts with the living area.

The top floor is a theater that symbolizes culture. Not only high-efficiency society but also the revolutionary ideas

2078, it can be deduced that space, which operates the only the human culture in the are promoted here.
