Preface
As one of human creations, architecture is a visible entity in space, but its essence is the concrete realization of human imagination. The reason why there are differences in architecture in different periods and regions is actually determined by the ideologies of different builders. For example, the complex hierarchy of ancient Chinese architecture is the best example, and it is also an important feature of Chinese ancient architecture which is different from other national buildings. In ancient China, the hierarchy of buildings is stipulated according to the social status of human beings. The style and scale of the buildings, the buildings of the emperor, the royal family and the noble class, the buildings of the court officials and local officials, the buildings of the common people and so on, all have strict hierarchical distinctions. In ancient ritual system, the regulations on architectural form are very specific, including the roof style, the number of spacious spaces, the color of decoration, the form of color paintings and so on. For example, religious implications in European churches are closely related to artistic expression. From the Byzantine style, which began in the 4th century with the prominent "dome top" of the whole center, to the Roman style, which was popular in the 10th century because of the use of "thick, balanced, smooth coupon and arch structures" in ancient Roman architecture, to the Gothic style, which was popular in the 12th century with "giant and colorful glass paintings on the spires and windows that soared into the clouds". Quarterly church buildings have been changing, worrying and forming remarkable artistic styles in different periods with the evolution of Christian religious history. Gothic churches, which are more in line with religious doctrines, have become a model of the perfect combination of religious theological light and artistic aesthetic creation.[1] It is not difficult to know that human ideology plays a decisive role in building materials, forms, shapes, colors and structures, etc. However, let’s review the design process of majors in architecture in domestic colleges and universities-conceptual sketch (preliminary investigation and drawing of analysis chart), first sketch (drawing), second sketch (layout of functional partition, detailing of plane graph), third sketch (horizontal vertical section and drawing). It's not hard to note that the design starts with a preliminary sketch, but let’s imagine, the picture, as one of the ways that is used by humans to specifically describe what's going on in the brain, has limitations in illusion from the very beginning, and does the way we design from sketch have preconceived notions that subconsciously limit our imagination? In other words, do our own sketches, in turn, affect our imagination? Will the more detailed the sketch, the less likely it is to produce more results? The reason why human history can be handed down, in addition to word of mouth, more importantly, is to rely on
the dissemination of words. All kinds of stories and trends of thought are also widely circulated in the form of books. Hence the idea that whether "words", as the greatest and most imaginative creation of human beings, can be applied in the initial design? For example, at the first beginning of the design, in the group, by constantly describing the same topic in words, and constantly enriching the imagination for the design in the form of words, and finally forming a design in words similar to the novel, each person starts the preliminary sketch design independently, and then summarizes the sketch results. Will this approach have more possibilities than a design that starts from the sketch? As Shakespeare once said, "there are a thousand hamlets for a thousand people", which means that everyone has a different understanding of a work. I have tried to start my own design in this way in some of my daily designs,which means, I start to create in the form of text description, and then speculate the form of sketch through the text description similar to novels, and then start to refine and deepen on the basis of sketch. However, then again, "there are a thousand hamlets for a thousand people". Everyone has a different understanding, custom and process for design. I just hope that my imagination can be better applied in design or try to find a different design or a design technique that suits myself. If I can bring some help and inspiration for my friends and classmates around me, it will be my luck that I dare not imagine. These are just some of my personal superficial views and attempts, and hopefully I could be guided and instructed one day so as to reach a higher level. References: [1] Xie Lvxing.

01 “Guardians of the Homeland� Art Museum with Syrian War as Theme Summer 2018 "Guardians of homeland, upon you be peace, our ever-proud souls refuse to be seized. The den of Arabism is our sacred home, and the throne of our suns will never go down. The mountains of Syria are towers in height, which talk with the zenith of the highest skies. A land that is splendid with brilliant sun, turning to a sky or almost a sky. The flutter of our hopes and the beats of our hearts, depicted on the flag that united our land. Did we not derive the black from every man's eye, and from ink of martyrs' blood wrote to the tall sky? Spirits defiant and past so glorious, and the martyrs' souls are our guardians. From us, a nation of souls and bravery, Thy glory comes from us, my homeland!" "On April 7, 2018, more than 70 people were killed in a suspected chemical weapons attack in eastern Ghouta area, Syria. US President Donald Trump delivered a speech on the chemical weapons attack in Syria on the evening of April 13, 2018, announcing a strike against Syria.Shortly thereafter, the United States, Britain and France launched air strikes against Damascus, the Syrian capital. -- Sina.com 2018.04.14 The idea of this design came into my mind after I read this news. As a Chinese, I always have special feelings about the country's internal strife and foreign aggression, which thus generated the idea of this design. The project site was selected in one of the three locations hit by the air raid. A war-themed art museum is rebuilt on the ruins, and is open to the public after the war for the commemoration of Syrian history and reflection on the war. The museum is used as an art museum on a daily basis for the display war-themed works of art and equipment, as well as for mediumscale exhibitions of works of art and public commemorations.
Design background After the suspected chemical weapons attack,US President Donald Trump delivered a speech on the chemical weapons attack in Syria on the evening of April 13, 2018, announcing a strike against Syria. Shortly thereafter, the United States, Britain and France launched air strikes on Damascus, the Syrian capital. The allied forces of U.S., British and French have attacked three targets in Syria, mainly in the suburbs of Damascus, eastern Ghouta and Homs.

02 MATRIX-2249 the fantasy of the future city under the control of dataism Autumn 2018 "Dataism holds that the universe consists of data streams and that the value of any phenomenon and or entity lies in the contribution of data processing. Dataism points out that the same mathematical law applies to both biochemical algorithms and idea algorithms, so combining the two together breaks the gap between animals and machines, and expects that electronic algorithms will one day be able to solve or even surpass biochemical algorithms......If the situation of data processing changes again in the 21st century, democracy may decline or even disappear. With the increase of data volume and speed of circulation, elections, political parties and parliaments may be eliminated; the reason is not that they are not ethical, but that they cannot deal with data effectively". ——Chapter 11 of Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow The above text comes from the section of Dataism of Yuval Noah Harari's Homo
Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
In the 21st century, the ability, attitude and manner of data processing will have a decisive impact on human life in the future. The inability of existing rulers and political systems to deal with huge data will affect the transfer of rights. If the traditional political structure can not process data quickly and form a meaningful vision in the 21st century, there will be a more efficient new structure to replace him. If human beings can't accomplish this task by themselves, it may be replaced by AI. The project, under this background, makes bold guesses about the future of human life after the data revolution. Dataism is not just an empty talk about ideals, but a practical commandment like every religion: data doctrine should link more and more media to maximize data, and connect everything to the system. It is under such conditions that everything in human life will change and eventually form the Internet of All Things, which may represent the exit of Homo sapiens. The project only makes bold speculations and guesses about the world after the data revolution, based on the present possibilities, including industry, agriculture, life, energy, behavior, psychology and so on. Some speculations and forms are antiutopian, while some names and patterns combined with some contemporary literary, film and television works have a lot of metaphors, which are stimulating readers'reflection on the real world and the possible development direction of the future world.
Aldous Leonard Huxley (1894-1963)
George Orwell (1903-1950)
Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937)
Yuval Noah Harari (1976-)
Theoretical Basis Design is based on the last dataism of Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow . It combines
the anti-utopian trilogy's conjecture of the future world and describes a future Guangzhou under the dataism. Through the hypothesis of the era of dataism, in order to achieve people's concern about the decline of humanism centered on human beings, and provide more imagination space and choice ideas for reality,
In the design, many titles and concepts in books, films and TV works are adopted. There are many metaphors and hints to stimulate readers' association and thinking. Like the new data tower of Guangzhou in this design is named after MATRIX in "The Matrix". It implies the infiltration and control of future dataism to human life, and expresses the undercurrent and spread of dataism under the cloak of humanism in the visible future. This is where the story begins.

With the development of the global economy, the total amount of all kinds of data became larger and larger. People constantly used more advanced computers to process and integrate data.
The world's first quantum computer was invented by IBM. A breakthrough was made in the purification technology of Si-28, The prelude of the fourth industrial revolution was unfolded.
In 2080, mass production of quantum computer started and quantum computers were gradually popularized in daily life.

——Since the 21st century, with the connectivity of global network, data processing can no longer be solved by human, life in human world is increasingly dependent on computers. After decades of development, Moore's law of performance improvement in conventional computers is also failing. Finally, in 2030, IBM produced the first relatively complete commercial quantum computer, with mass production followed soon after, which marked the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. ——With the large-scale use of new quantum computers, human beings’ ability of processing data has been greatly improved. It makes it possible for human beings to collect data from their lives on a large scale to make efficient decisions. For example, for industrial production, output can be determined by gathering people’s needs, etc. Moreover, human life has become more convenient. All aspect of human life are inseparable from data being upload and download at any time. Therefore, it means that the more data resources one owns, the more convenient, fast and efficient life one can enjoy. That leads to competition in the field of data resources. This kind of competition gradually permeates politics, economy, culture and all other domains. Times of dataism begins. ——After 22,23 centuries of development, data has become the foundation of all human life. The cult of dataism was born quietly. ——In 2249, Guangzhou, due to its unique geographical location and natural resources, became China's "Silicon Valley". Here, everyone must have access to all life resources through the data Internet. Everyone connects themselves to the Internet of Everything through a micro quantum computer – “MATRIX”, the new Guangzhou data tower of the former Canton tower. Meanwhile, the Canton tower has made a great change in the appearance......

Chapter 1. New Huadu Town Huadu District of Guangzhou City, Huadu has always been known as the industrial capital, and the new Guangzhou Industrial District has followed the traditional name. The new industrial zones are mainly divided into six major industries: silicon purification, paper making, plastics, glass, metal and cloth. [1] Silicon factories: Factorie mainly produce and purify Si-28,providing materials for quantum computers. Ore resources come from all parts of the country and ports transported from all over the world, such as silicon ore, silicon waste, etc. [2] Garbage recycling: Garbage is classified into recyclable waste and unrecyclable waste. The recyclable waste is further divided into five categories of waste paper, plastic, glass, metal and cloth for reprocessing. Different garbage is used for different purposes.

Chapter 2. BaiYun Farm Agricultural area is located between industrial area and urban main residential space, playing the role of agricultural production and greening isolation. [1]In agricultural production, firstly, degradable garbage and crop waste (such as straw) are recycled to make seedling plate alleviating the excessive consumption of land resources. Seeding plate also can fertilize land. The main crop is rice.Corn,potato, sugar cane, peanuts, fruits, tea, vegetables are planted as well. [2]The data of crop growth are collected by UAV.The data of weather, air quality and temperature are sampled to control the irrigation, spraying and lighting of crops. Solar lamp uses solar energy to provide auxiliary lighting for crops. Regular staff will observe and record the crop growth status, evaluate and adjust the data results. [3]The residual straw and waste after harvesting can be recycled into seedling trays, which can not be recycled directly to provide raw materials for combustion power generation.

Chapter 3. Tianhe Uptown Tianhe District is still the core area of Guangzhou, where the main living space of the city. City is full of treeshaped buildings and the traffic of flying cars runs through the cracks in the sky. Urban buildings are divided into three parts,which are the old urban area located in the earth's surface, the multi-unit residence within the "trunk" and the small unit housings hanged between the "trunk". [1]Small residential dwelling units are customizable. Materials used to build the apartment are inflatables recycled from garbage.All kinds of human needs are monitored in real time by monitors in the building.It can track the status of people and adjust the shape of the building interior according to the need. Each "leaf" can be assembled at any time. Since buildings are made of inflatables and integrated circuits, they are light and easy to moved by helicopter. [2] Tree-shaped apartment,since most of the urban buildings are concentrated on the "leaves" and " trunks" in the vertical space of the city, the ground space is gradually released. The city has drop the concept of a street, but is a continuous square with tree trunks. Traffic is distributed at different altitudes. Air traffic saves the space of ground roads and allows the ground to return to the natural.By uploading their own location data,all people can use the Shared car anytime and anywhere when traveling, which greatly reduces the total number of cars, while meeting the travel needs of more people.

Chapter 4. New Canton Tower—MATRIX [1]New Canton Tower As a transmitting tower, Guangzhou TV tower naturally becomes a public data transfer station serving all people. Each person transmits his or her own data to this huge data source, Guangzhou tower, from which external information and services are received. ——Each person has a specific transmitter (a quantum device similar to an ID card) that corresponds to a corresponding encrypted receiver on the Canton Tower (the transmitter and receiver consist of two pairs of quantum units). Everyone has at least one group, the more data resources they have, the more efficient they can enjoy in life. The possession of data has gradually evolved into a symbol of financial resources, so people will spontaneously provide small quantum computers for the Guangzhou Tower. Minicomputers have already realized automatic contact links, which can be automatically connected to larger processors with only contact. Countless small quantum computers form the new appearance of Guangzhou Tower, which is constantly covered and devoured by small quantum computers. Eventually, a huge central data center, called Matrix, was devoured by a small quantum computer. ——As more and more people spontaneously provide small quantum computers to Guangzhou Tower, this behavior is regulated by the government. Every day, the number of calculators in Guangzhou Tower is regulated. This directly leads to a large number of people queuing up in Huacheng Square every day in order to get a relatively good computer position on this giant processor. Because of the huge demand, political and capital forces began to intervene. Eventually, the number and location of small quantum computers on Matrix directly represented the strength and status of a person or group, and some super-large processors appeared on the tower. Behind this huge industrial chain, it also gave birth to the combination of officials and businessmen, hiding huge commercial interests behind politics. [2]Huacheng Square: Huacheng Square: Huacheng Square is still mainly for entertainment activities, but all entertainment products (toys and souvenirs) are made of silicon materials, and built-in small quantum computers (used to communicate and interact with users, toys at that time are interactive), can be reused after use and recycled to produce purified silicon 28, and then processed into integrated circuits by factories. Eventually it becomes an electronic component, producing a small quantum computer for data transmission and selling it again and reusing it again. All minicomputers can be directly used as personal data processors. They are pluggable and easy to install directly on the Guangzhou Tower.

Chapter 5. Nansha port The new energy port is located on the coast of Nansha District. The new energy port takes into account the roles of port transportation and new energy utilization. The primary function of the new port is still to transport goods by sea. In addition to transporting commodities, it also collects various kinds of ore, ore waste and recyclable garbage from overseas to provide raw materials for industrial processing in industrial zones. Secondly, the new energy harbors are equipped with a large number of new energy installations along the coast, including wind turbines, wave energy, tidal energy generators, algae power generators and so on. [1] Algae generation. A large number of algae photoreactor culturers are installed on both sides of the sea transportation road. Because data monitoring has a larger amount of calculation, the control of algae generation has a more accurate operation. By collecting algae growth data and light sensors, the current generated can be adjusted, leaving enough energy for the survival of algae, while providing enough power generation. Because algae generate electricity through photosynthesis and absorb carbon dioxide in the air, which helps to reduce the greenhouse effect. After generation, algae can also be dried into algae powder, which can be used as biomass fuel to burn productivity, and the carbon dioxide produced by combustion can be reused by algae for photosynthesis. A renewable energy application system with economic and environmental protection has been formed. [2] Wind turbines are located on coastal roads and generate electricity by wind power along the coast of Nansha District. [3] Raft-type devices are installed on both sides of the sea transport road. Wave energy is collected by the raft, and then converted into electric energy by mechanical movement. Energy Utilization Natural Resources

03 Recode music Translating music scores to construct architectural elements Winter 2018 "Music is the closest to architecture because, like architecture, music puts its creation in proportion and structure" ——Hegel, Aesthetics , No. 3 For a long time, because of the commonality of proportion, structure and rhythm arrangement between architecture and music, they are always connected by people. However, the relationship between them has always been in an abstract and metaphysical way of thinking, and there are few concrete corresponding ways and formal links from the bottom to the bottom. I try to analyse music and create a fixed way of translation between similar languages. Music can be transformed into various forms of visualization through formulas, which can be expressed in architecture. Formulas can be used to translate different types of music scores, and the data can be read in different forms. Then various expressions can be formed. Finally, different visualization effects can be constructed in architecture, such as interior decoration, wall, building skin, and even building concept block itself. In this experiment, only two pieces of music have been tried, but there are countless possibilities by using formulas and combining different expressions, corresponding techniques, materials and colors. The experiment itself is also an attempt and discussion of data visualization.
Design Introduction For a long time, because of the commonality of proportion, structure and rhythm arrangement between architecture and music, they are always connected by people. However, the relationship between them has always been in an abstract and metaphysical way of thinking, and there are few concrete corresponding ways and formal links from the bottom to the bottom. ——This experiment is an attempt to transform music into architecture. I try to establish a flexible and fixed conversion method, which converts music into visual architectural elements, and then further applies to design. By disassembling different notes, music, tones and other elements in the form of data, reorganizing them into long, wide and high practical data that can be applied to buildings, eventually forming various forms and applying them to different places according to different scales, such as decorative paintings, background walls, smallpox, building facades and so on. ——Firstly, the music is converted into data by a fixed corresponding formula, then the data is processed and reconstructed by Grasshopper and Rhino, and finally the model is generated directly. Because formulas have different ways of translation for different musical elements, different results can be generated according to the different choices. Only Treble clef
Design process diagram Step 1. Picking songs The difference of song selection determines the final result. Piano music is mostly composed of treble and bass. It can generate two sets of data to control the results, or it can only generate a simple model with one set of data.

Translation The method of transliteration is to translate each note in the range of A0 (27.5Hz) to C8 (4186Hz) into a number from 0 to 88, thus turning a score into a group (only treble group) or two groups (treble and bass groups) of constantly changing data groups within a certain range.

In the actual architectural design, the application of music translation can be realized in many aspects—from the indoor grille, background wall, ceiling, ceiling lamp, to the outdoor landscape metope, floor pavement and decoration, building elevation, building window, in all of which this kind of method can be used to offer basis for the design. In this experiment, stimulation trials were carried out for some simple scenes. Source pictures originate from the network and are processed into concept maps, which only serve as explanatory designs

04 Food City Explore Detroit's Future Through Urban Agriculture Spring 2020 Cities structure our lives and identities. Traditional cities are built around the human being, and all the buildings and facilities are built for humans. However, the advent of the post-industrial era has brought irreversible changes to many industrial cities. How to reuse these urban heritages is a problem that human beings must face and solve in the future. Detroit is one of the largest post-industrial cities in the world. After the industrial decline, what is the future of Detroit? Where is the beginning of the great revival? These questions plague every resident and ambitious architect and planner. Empty streets, abandoned houses, wild animals wandering around on the roads, and vacant lands where weeds sprawl. What can we do in such a situation? This design takes the Packard Plant as the starting point to propose a better future for people, nature, and animals to live together. It aims to generate a green, energyefficient, self-supplying urban village that seeks a predictable future for Detroit through an agriculture-based renovation. (This section is an excerpt from Studio C design during MSA study. For the complete design, please refer to the following links: https://issuu.com/lemoncbx/docs/studioc_ final_submission_bingxiancang_19012478_-__ )
Detroit Detroit is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the largest U.S. city on the United States–Canada border, and the seat of Wayne County. Detroit is a major port on the Detroit River, one of the four major straits that connect the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The Detroit Metropolitan Airport is among the most important hubs in the United States. The City of Detroit anchors the second-largest regional economy in the Midwest, behind Chicago and ahead of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and the 13th-largest in the United States.

Unique Assets Currently, in Detroit, the population is under 700,000, of which 84 percent are African American, and due to decades of disinvestment and capital flight from the city into the suburbs, there is a scarcity in Detroit. There is a scarcity of retail, more specifically, fresh food retail. Assets: *Open land (1/4~1/3 of the city is vacant; San Francisco, Boston, and Manhattan could fit within the Detroit’s borders.) *Fertile soil *Proximity to water *Willing labors *A desperate demand for healthy, fresh food There were over 1,500 urban farms and gardens in Detroit as of 2015. These spaces are places for building social cohesion and providing healthy, fresh food to neighbors.

Packard Plant · Under packard 1903 — 1958 The Packard plant was opened in 1903 and at the time was considered the most modern automobile manufacturing facility in the world: modern, efficient, and massive in scale. At its peak the complex employed 40,000 people, including skilled craftsmen involved in over eighty trades. The plant turned out Packard automobiles from 1903 to 1956, except during World War II, when production was shifted to war material, particularly the Packard V-1650 Merlin, which powered the North American P-51 Mustang fighter plane.
· After packard 1958 — 2010 The factory complex closed in 1958, though other businesses operated on the premises or used it for storage until the late 1990s. In the 1990s, the buildings were used to host infamous “underground” raves and techno parties, including the Spastik party hosted by Richie Hawtin.A number of the outer buildings were in use by businesses up through the early 2000s. In 2010, the last remaining tenant, Chemical Processing, announced its intention to vacate the premises after 52 years.
· Current status 2010 — 2020 Since its abandonment, the plant has been a haven for graffiti artists, urban explorers, paintballers and auto scrappers, and much of the wiring and other building materials h av e b e e n s cav e n g e d . D e s p i t e many years of neglect and abuse, the reinforced concrete structures remain mostly intact and structurally sound. It was purchased for $405,000 on December 12, 2013 by Fernando Palazuelo, a Spanish investor. On January 23, 2019, the bridge over Grand Boulevard collapsed.

Timeline 1903 Relocation & Packard #10 (The kahn bar) The Packard Automotive Company moved its headquarters from Warren, Ohio to Detroit,in 1903. Albert 1904 Kahn designed the new company's complex. The first nine buildings followed the typical mill-style factory buildings of the time, with cramped rooms and timber structures.For aovidinng fire hazard and comfort of workers, he created reinforced concrete structure on the design of the tenth building, Packard #10.
1910 Renovation — Standard
New design on the structure and appearance of Packard #10 became standard for automoblie factories across America. It is the largest auto plant in the United States with 4,000,000 ft2 of factory space and 40,000 workers at its peak.
1920 World war 1 — Transition
The plant helped with the war effort, assembling airplane engines.
1930 Expansion A multistory automated assembly line was installed.
Fig1 The Packard Plant’s building number 10 during expansion circa 1911
1939 New bridge
A bridge was built between the north and south halves of the plant.
1942 World war 2 — Transition
The plant manufactured aircraft engines and naval engines for the United States and its allies, and went back to automobile production after WW2.
1954 Obsoleteness — Bankruptcy The multistory plan became obsolete and production of 1956 Packard’s vehicles was transferred to a modern plant on
Fig2 The new bridge between the north and south halves of the plant
Conner Avenue. The Packard Car Company went out of business entirely in 1956.
1958 Transition The company sold off parts of the plant and leased out others to retail and industrial tenants. Packard 1960 Properties of Illinois took out a mortgage on the site in 1960 and continued leasing parcels up until 1987.

In 1997, Bioresource filed for bankruptcy and acquired new owners. They agreed to start managing the plant for the city and collecting rent from tenants. In 1998, Dominic Cristini purchased Bioresource and the Packard Plant site. Shortly thereafter, the City took possession of the site, with the intent to demolish the buildings. The city even informed tenants they had to vacate the premises by February 1999, so the building could be demolished.

Design Procedure Distribution Analysis Packard Plant is on the southeast of Detroit. Based on the previous site analysis, its unique convenient transportation provides the potentiality of future development. Large vacant land and abandoned houses and buildings give free of reusing the site. In new planning, those vacant land will be used for farming and landscaping. More residents will settle nearby over the development, which provide the labour power.Different directions of the site have different advantages, which affect the functional distribution of the new plan.The specific analysis is as follows: Northeast:
South:
*Near to the main transportation system *Large amout of vacant spaces *Many houses are lack of repair or collapsed
*Near to the secondary road of the city *More inhabited housing
North:
West:
*Next to the high speed road *Less landscapes and worse environment *More factories, plants, and parking areas *Noise
*Lower residential desity and quality *Better environment

Farmlands The Americans diet The picture on the right shows that Americans consume an average of 200 pounds of meat, 31 pounds of cheese, 16 pounds of fish, and 415 pounds of veggies on an annual basis, according to the National Institute of Health (2012). Based on this diet, in the agriculture system of the design, we propose a way to grow food that meets the dietary needs of Americans. In addition, we have installed wind turbines and solar panels in the farmlands to collect clean natural energy. These natural sources of energy are used to generate electricity. The new power supply will provide the power supply for the Packard Plant, the surrounding infrastructures, and residential areas. Finally, waste from agricultural production is also recycled to generate methane gas. In the case of livestock farming, waste from crop production also provides food for the surrounding livestock industry. For example, cornstalks could be harvested to feed cattle and hogs. In turn, the excrement of animals could be processed to fertilize farmlands. This self-sustained cycle offers the possibility of a future urban archipelago centered on the Packard Plant.

Ecology Park The ecological park is based on the open green space on the west of the Packard Plant. Ecology Park would be an oasis where residents and animals live together in the future. The west side of the park is major areas of human activity closer to the new residential area. Wetlands around the artificial lake provide habitats for animals and isolate human and anima. The other side is the main area for animal activities, including small shelters and shelterbelt.As an artificial habitat, ecology park would play a significant role in the protection for wild animals and migratory birds.

Migratory Birds Protection To conserve energy, migrating birds often take direct and dangerous routes, which can expose them to storms, predators, and disorientation from perilous navigation conditions. Migrations that cut across deserts or open water are especially risky. Human activity over the past century has increased the hazards. Habitat loss, pesticides, and hunting or trapping on stopover grounds have taken major tolls on migrating birds. The bright lights of cities can be particularly disorienting to migrant birds, many of which fly at night. In the seven types of migratory birds, Detroit is a principal station on the migration route of five in them. The original water tank of the plant would be transformed into a signal tower to attract migratory birds to the ecology park.

05 Tales Of Two Cities The relationship between Manchester and Detroit & The Renovation of Trafford Park Winter 2019 This project is an urban renovation design for the post-industrial area, Trafford Park, in the east of Manchester. Because of the close relationship between Manchester's development and Detroit's, the project is also named Tales of Two Cities. The renovation strategy for Trafford Park starts from the existing traffic problems, then connects different urban areas with urban landscapes, finally forms a new urban life, which is walkable, green, vibrant, and environmentally friendly, based on the original industrial park. The specific design includes the ecological park, reuse of the old docks, new water routes for transportation and tourism, bicycle routes and cable cars connecting the whole area, landscape belt along the canal, water park transformed by sewage plant, protection of historic villages and historic buildings, reconstruction of the treasure house, affordable houses, giant urban landscape and so forth. The design was designed by Studio A team during the study in MSA. I am responsible for the layout of the portfolio, design strategy, master plan, site analysis, project management. Here only shows a part of the final text. For the full version, please refer to the link: https://issuu.com/2019maaumsa/docs/a3_sheet.sm
Machester ‘King Cotton’ is a major city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, England. Trafford Park is an area of the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, opposite Salford Quays on the southern side of the Manchester Ship Canal, 3.4 miles (5.5 km) southwest of Manchester city centre and 1.3 miles (2.1 km) north of Stretford. Occupying an area of 4.7 square miles (12 km2), it was the first planned industrial estate in the world, and remains the largest in Europe. Moss Side is an inner-city area of Manchester, England, 1.9 miles (3.1 km) south of the city center. It had a population of 18,902 at the 2011 census. Moss Side is bounded by Hulme to the north, Rusholme and Fallowfield to the east, Whalley Range to the south, and Old Trafford to the west. The location of the site is right in the borderline of the Moss Side and Hulme region. (The design for Moss Side is a separate design for urban affordable housing, which is presented by Felix Halim and Maria Prodromou.)

Detroit ‘Motor City’ was the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the largest American city on the United States– Canada border.Hamtramck is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is surrounded by the city of Detroit except for a small portion of the western border that touches the similarly surrounded city of Highland Park. Known in the 20th century as a vibrant center of Polish-American life and culture, Hamtramck has continued to attract immigrants. In Studio A, we presented a design for Trafford Park in Manchester in the group. In Studio B, each member of the group selects their site in Detroit, Highland Park, or Hamtramck for more detailed design. The two studio designs echo each other. We try to explore more possibilities for the renovation strategy of post-industrial cities by comparing the two studios.

Main Road Secondary Road
Transportation Most of people drive to this place right now but the traffic problems here are serious. So the public transportation here is very essential, such as tram and bus. Manchester is also recognized as the UK city with the greatest potential for Shared bikes and scooters.
Industrial Estate Commercial Business Green Landscape Residential Areas
Land Use Industry occupies the main part in this area. Residential and commercial place are little in Trafford Park and they are mainly distributed in the south area and Salford. The connection of two usually blocked by industrial estate. Green landscape are few and separated to the residential Accommodation.

Pomona Trafford Village Old Trafford
Landmark Building In the development of Manchester, apart from the heritage buildings, such as the Old Trafford, Ordsall Hall and Trafford Hotel, it also appears a sort of modern buildings, such as Imperial War Museum, The Lowry and Trafford centre.
Potentially Flooded Area
Flooding The area bounded in blue on the map represent the area under the flooding risk. According to the report from Trafford Council, the regeneration initiatives in Trafford including Regional Centre, the Inner Areas should all consider the risk of a 100-year flood, which is as high as 1%.
83
Industrial Estate Factory and warehouse are the main building types here. It is very obvious in the diagram that building sizes vary widely and distribute irregularly in everywhere. They take up a lot of space and make transport connections worse. Factories and warehouses are also major factors in our design.
Residential Area Residential areas, such as hotels and residential buildings, are rarely distributed in Trafford Park. But across the canal, in Salford, there are many residential buildings there. Also in other areas in Trafford, there are a number of residential buildings.
84
Public Building Commercial and entertainment buildings here are mainly located along the river and in convenient locations, such as near tram stations and bus stop. Commercial buildings are still scarce in this area, and the types are relatively single and unevenly distributed.
Open Space It shows that the open space in the trafford park. It is obvious that too many open space has occupied by the car parks. It also lacks of connection among green spaces in different areas.
85
01. Solve Transportation Problems Incorrect transportation planning here brings a series of problems. For example, at those two big junctions, wrong planning lead to serious traffic jam and wasted space. The pedestrian can hardly pass the canal without a long distance walk. Too narrow pedestrian and blind alley also make walking difficult here.
02. Open Land Reorganize Too many oversized car parks lead to waste of open space here. We plan to shrink some of the car park and establish vertical car parking, which solves the parking problem and reduces its space at the same time. Therefore, the space saved can be reused. These spaces could become public spaces and landscapes, such as pocket parks, which will increase the connectivity of Trafford Park and make it easier for people to reach everywhere.
86
03. Form system After the creating of public space, Trafford Park is well connected. After that, the first step is decide the route of main roads and secondary roads. Pedestrian and cycling routes are also properly planned and then plots are well divided. This creates the foundation for the later establishment of the whole design.
04. New Landscape Belt The connection of public space makes Trafford Park well-organized. More even, public space and landscape create the sense of places. Apart from the ordinary transportation system, the cable car and cycling route not only shorten the distance of different parts, also active the tourism of Trafford Park.
