Transitional History Between City and Countryside
Understanding New Media
Villages are core related to Cities’s development as they contributes raw resources and goods to cities. To understand the history of Villages developments, we have to understand how the relationship between cities and villages change.

Choosing Location
Azheke Village Working situation Azheke Village is situated deep in a mountain located in Yuanyang County, Yunnan. The village is far away from cities and towns, and villagers depend on agriculture and husbandry to feed their families. The village is known for its mushroom-like architecture and cultural history, and it is one of the protected ancient villages of the Honhe Hani clan. In recent years, the local government stepped in to assist the village in developing tourism to help with poverty and connect the village with the rest of the world.

Current Students At School Need of Education Villagers The Village is distanced from schools and resources, which leads to a lack of educated villagers to lead the village after the departure of experts that the government sent.

Children, you need to learn how to make traditional clothes.
Need Another Cultural Product The terraces around the village produce just enough every year for individual households to feed themselves. Due to unique topography, these terraces can’t be mechanized to increase productivity. It is difficult to rely on Yunyang Red Rice as a major source of income and tourist attraction
Yet Sustainable Development The solution provided by the government solved the difficulties in Azheke Village. But it is still questionable whether the village could sustain itself without outsiders’ intervention.
4. Cultures are on the verge of being lost Nope, I’m going to work in the city, clothes don’t make money.

Site
Rideau River
The project site is located in Canada, at Carleton University in Ottawa. The site was originally a plaza surrounded by engineering faculty buildings on all four sides. The site was not directly accessible by vehicle. The advantage of the site's location is that it is easily accessible, and the flow of people can easily gather. The disadvantage is that the surrounding landscape and lighting are limited.

According to the survey, the reason for choosing this location for the project is that engineering and architecture students are one of the most stressed student groups.

03 Dialogue with the past Site: 6660 Rte Verte 1, Gatineau, QC Year: 2020 Winter Individual Work: LingPeng Yang Instructor: John Cook This project is about converting a historically significant building into an activity center. The project is located at the border of Ottawa and Gatineau, where traffic is heavy and historically significant building was abandoned. The main idea of the design was to integrate the history of the old building into the design and turn it into a vibrant new building to be reintegrated into Gatineau.

Preservation and Dismantling ·Preserve the stone walls facing ALEXANDRE-TACHÉ BLVD and EDDY ST. ·Demolish the rest of the building. ·The stone wall survived from the great fire of 1900. ·Removed/remodeled the Roof and south wall in order to get more sunlight inside. ·The structure inside the building was rebuilt after the fire and does not have sufficient historical value.

Zhongshan is a prefecture-level city in Guangdong province, China, located along the west side of the mouth of the Pearl River, directly opposite Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Zhongshan is the marketing and commercial centre of one of China's most prosperous and densely peopled areas. Great quantities of agricultural produce are collected for shipment to Guangzhou, and it is the main distribution point for manufactured goods, mainly from the Guangzhou area.

Zhongshan has a rich and colorful cultural history streaming from Qing dynasty to modern-day.
The site spans a long length and across a river creating challenges with different modes of site circulation and the distribution of programs.

The developers of this area and the city council are interested in turning the place into a new landmark and tourist destination.
The residential development consists of many commercial and leisure places, which makes our site programs a bit difficult.
The Boat Factory represents the Industrial movement of Zhongshan. The first boat factory of China was built in the city.
Historical Retrosopect of Qi Jiang River
ZHONG SHAN
QI JIANG RIVER
Boat Factory
Qi Jiang River is considered the "mother River" of Zhong Shan and spans 39 meters. The river played a significant role in the city's unique culture and adopted the name because it flows through the district of Shi Qi. The banks of the Qijiang River are lined with trees, and the banks are tidy, dotted with many urban sculptures and well-known historical and modern sites.
“Dan min” are early residents of Zhongshan who were fishermen that lived primarily on their boats. Before the 1950s, they lived in poverty, and most of them were illiterate and were discriminated against. Since the reform and opening up, resettlement houses have been built to relocate the floating residents.
Guangdong Zhongshan Shipyard is the first newly constructed factory after Zhongshan's liberation, and it is also the first provincial state-owned factory. The factory was the first of its kind in the region and assisted in shaping the local economy. Today, the site is now transformed into Qi Jiang Park, which still preserves the historicity of the place.

In the New era, Guzhen Town, situated on the broader of Zhongshan, which has a long history of making light, became well known—adding a new definition into the city.
City of Lights Zhongshan City is located in the geometric center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and plays an important role in "carrying on from the east to the west." Zhongshan has a solid manufacturing base, forming a batch of 100-billion-level industrial clusters. The domestic market share of lighting and light sources exceeds 60%.
Qijiang Bridge is the most representative of Zhongshan's many bridges. The bridge has one of the most special features: it is the first openable bridge on the Qijiang River. The Qijiang Bridge was opened to traffic for the first time on January 1, 1951, and has since changed the history of no bridges on both sides of the Qijiang River.
