01 Campus 'Greens' Coney Island

First Year Urban Design Core Studio(Professor Philippe Correa), GSD, Harvard University Category:Urban/Architecture Design Theme Research: Campus as Catalyst of Deteriorating Neighborhood Renewal 'Selected for PLATFORM FIVE'

We start our project by learning from Coney Island in the present day as well as historically. The first aspect would be reading into the historical development. From 1881 to 1889 the development of surrounding area started from here and two main roads began to feed into the existing wetland. From 1889 to 1908, the loss of wetland expedited and we lost a total of 63 acres of natural wetland, equaling 1.2 Prospect Parks, in a total duration of 9 years. Furthermore, a gas works station merged to the area along the waterfront, resulting in a major leakage of hazardous waste that is still present today. Presently, the site is amongst the many environmental remediation sites, as stated by the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency.

OLD CROSS-First Settlement in History

NEW CROSS-New Potentials

"But the nature of Collage City is that the fragments are applied strategically and affably so as to allow the city to develop and nurture itself, free from prescription which may still linger in cities already containing said fragments." ------Colin Rowe

from one another, to allow us to gain a general understanding of the existing networks present in the site. Agonisticlly, out-of-scale projects are scattered over the site without proper connections, like sports field, junk yard, huge subway stations and a environmental remediation site. The polluted river has the potential of being the second waterfront. Also, to relieve the segregation caused by the shore parkway, we begin to imagine a b o u t t h e p o t e n t i a l i ty o f a g re e n promenade that may run along Stillwell Avenue, in which can relieve the tension between all the agonistic projects.

Autonomous Fragments

Programmatic Fragments

First is the issue of remediation sites in the greater metropolitan area of New York. Again, if we still use Prospect Park as a comparison, all the remediation sites of the entire borough of Brooklyn equals 80.7 Prospect Parks and the cost of each superfund site exceeds the construction cost of Prospect Park, which was about 6 million.

Another problem is the overloading of multiple infrastructural elements, such as the Belt Pkway and Gowanus expressway. This results in derelict communities that have higher unemployment rates and lower rent. It is also noted that the poverty level along these areas are below the national average.

We see our campus as a catalyst, which may begin to respond to the local community, manufacturing industry, and tourism. Also, in the sense that the campus can be the center hub for other environmental organizations around the world. Therefore the diversity of programs is further enriched.

To help relieve the problem of the overloading infrastructure on one end, we ask ourselves if there may be the possibility to create another station further north to relieve the pressure on Stillwell Avenue. This can result in a diffusion of densities and allow for other areas to become developed.

Also, there is a great difference between seasons in terms of programs and density. There is a peak of density in summer in terms of recreational programs, while the expected educational programs would achieve a more even distribution of density.

02 Re-envision 'The Greatest Grid" in Riverside Park District

Historic Context

1850s Riverfront District with Gridiron Subdivisions

1870s Extention of Grid and Infrastructure as Barrier

1930s Transit Yard and Sports Park as two Autonomy

1980s Trump Place and Riverside Park as two Autonomy

The site chose to demostrate grid transformation as a tool of urban design is located between 59 st and 120 st west to the Central Park. Historically, it used to be a beehive of harbor and manuracturing activities. Due to the nature of "landfill project", the 'Greatest Grid' did not extend all its way to reach the waterfront.The resulting problem inclludes: + Large-scale Projects as Urban Autonomy + Lack of Public Access/Attracaction + Segregation from "Greatest Grid" by Regional Infastructure

+ Two Slices of Urban Grid

+ Two Slices of Manhattan Waterfront

+ Left shows the waterfront below 59 St, which is bordered with Westside Drive and little (re)develop -ment opportunity + Left shows the waterfront burdened with Regional Infrastructure(in red),hardly accessible and versatile for future development

+ Right shows the slice of "Greatest Grid" with great access and flexibility(in white) of future 'interpretation'

+ Right shows the waterfront above 59 St, which is currently occupied by public park but holds potential (re)development opportunity

Enhance the Local Access to Bridge between Two Parks

Situated in between waterfront and central park, two municipal assets of public space, the site has the potential of enhancing the local access to the Riverside Park, Central Park along with many local amenities. + Local Access of Riverside Park + Local Access of Central Park/Amenties + Proposed Local Access to enhance

Revitalize Local Neighborhood with Proposed Corridors

The site possesses large scale urban fabric which is significantly under-utilized, and thie waterfront could , again, accomodate a variety of local activities, not limited to public recreation. + Large-foorprint Buildings along Certain Corridors + Public-accessible large-footprint Amenities + Proposed Corridors with Adjecency to Public Amenities

The site could be re-programmed when both regional/local visions are taken into consideration: the connection between Manhattan/New Jersey by Water Transportation; the connection between the "Grid" and "Landfill" by Grid Extension + Regional In-flux into the site + Local Out-flux into the site + Proposed Corridors bridging In-flux/Out-flux

such as fishing, skiing, skating, cycling, kite flying and so on. Most importantly, there could be much interaction between human beings, creatures and the environment.

Gated University as an Insolated Block in the Whole Area

Existing Green Space Contributes to a Eco-City

Considering the Stutas Quo with both Urban&Rural Area Our Proposal will not cut the Urban&Rural into Separate Parts. Instead We Create an Urban Network with System Continuity& Form Diversity Continuity i.e. Transpotation System(Public Transpotation Bus, Metro, Railway) Green Space System(Eco-Corridor, Greenway)

Shengzhou, as a small city in Jiangnan(south of Yangtze River), Explore the Site in an Old Way * After studying Chinese painting, I tried to use

‘Shui’

old painting style to describe the site status quo.

Water System Substance Flowing

is located in moutains weaving with waters. It has unique landscape features such as tea terrace and primary forest.

It also has rich cultural implication of ‘Xiang Tu’, including Poerty

history and Yue Opera history, as well as vernacular lifestyle such as local settlement pattern.

We should take all the elements into consideration. Additionally, OLD wisdoms are of importance in our Scheme.

Vegetation Description: ●Primary Forest is located on top of Terrace and on the southwest slope of mountain ●Severe Bare Land is located on of West Terrace ●Generally speaking, there’s better vegetation on sharp slope than gental slope

Water Condition Description: ●Important Water Supply Area is located either on top or plain ●Most of land in site is not so wet ●Valley Area has FLOOD THREAT

Geology Description: ●Southeast of West Terrace has potential Debris Flows THREAT ●Most Moutain Areas are stable ●South Slope or West Slope is not so stable, soil not so solid

Vegetation & Development : For areas with good vegetation we should protect original landscape For areas with poor vegetation we should recover or develop into more urban district

Water & Development : Most is suitable for development as far as water is concerned Valley Area needs to deal with potential FLOOD THREAT

Geology & Development : For areas with potential Debris Flows, any development could be dangerous For areas not so stable, development should be done with safe procedure

Accessibility Map Accessibility Description: ●Several roads exist in the valley, one extends to top of west terrace ●The site is a low-density district most areas are not easy accessible Accessibility & Development : For areas with Good Accessibility we can develop tourism or industry For areas with Poor Accessibility we should not develop there
