CHAPTER 01

Overview of CPU [AI] and Project

- ATELIER PLANNING AND URBANISM (CPU)

- LIST OF CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITY:

Planning and Urbanism (CPU) is a research laboratory and related Masters Atelier at the Manchester School of Architecture. CPU uses a complexity framework to develop new digital tools, computational thinking and urban theory addressing future ICT disruptions and spatiotemporal dynamics in urban processes. The research is transdisciplinary and spans Future Cities, Smart Cities, the Internet of Things, agile governance and cities as complex adaptive systems. CPU research engages with planning for evolutionary and emergent city systems, digital participation and inclusion, data platforms for resilient cities and urban simulations for sustainable future scenarios.

1. How can a balance between public and private spaces foster a sense of community and belonging in new urban morphology. Ensure public spaces are active throughout the day and evening and do not adversely interfere with a residential setting (in terms of noise, ASB etc.)? 2. The distribution of facilities, amenities and community spaces is an essential aspect of successful residential development. How do we design to ensure this aspect of sustainability in urban strategy and design. 3. How can a new urban development be designed to change and adapt with its residents (from students to young professionals, families and aging)

- CLIENTS PROJECT OVERVIEW (MCC): The Northern Gateway is a major regeneration project being undertaken as a joint venture with the Far East Consortium (commercial partner). The project is focused on residential development. The concerns of this partner revolve around the need to address commercial viability and infrastructure provision. The current aim is to provide 15,000 new residential units. The current population of the area is 35,000. The area is being considered an extension to the city centre and will need to function with similar density. The city wishes to ensure a wide range of typologies and a family orientated development looking at long-term sustainability of the population and the legacy of the development project. The initial vision is to create a green suburban feel in a dense urban area. The management of both formal green spaces and the Irk River require management strategies. There is potentially the need for one or more catalysts to drive the development.

CHAPTER 01

about our potfolio BRIEF THE PROBLEM WE WANT TO SOLVE IS THAT the city of Manchester is in the process of transformation from a post-industrial city to a modern city. According to our group’s research on urban evolution theory, it is faced with a huge population growth and a housing demand of about 15,000 people.But at the same time, the disorder of urban traffic leads to the ineffective traffic space between people’s living and working places and the under-utilized urban public space.For example, people may often waste time on the road or need longer trajectories to move from one need center to another.Another example is that the urban floor area ratio is not high, and the housing demand cannot be met, so the area of public space will be correspondingly compressed and have to become small

IN STUDIO1, we mainly focus on data collection and analysis. We collect the data of people’s activity space from different data websites, which are the potential factors affecting urban development based on the theory of Complex Adaptive Systems.We further analyzed the different crowd the activities of the trajectory and the shortest path according to the activity time, we will be the same type of population movement weighted calculation based on the theory of space syntax, guiding people to get shorter path which will affect the traffic and road intersection of further design changes the width of the road,In the study, we found that the importance of public space can be used as a carrier for people to overlap at the same time, which strengthens people’s social interaction and improves the utilization rate of paths. Moreover, we classified the public space to obtain the eight kinds of public space with the most efficiency.

CPU[AI] 2020 -2021 ST3

SO,How can we establish a network of high-quality open and public Spaces to support well-being and enhanced diversity in OUR MAIN URBAN DESIGN CHALLENGE.

IN STUDIO2, our space strategy is to arrange the position of public space regularly according to the data analysis of Studio1. We study the service radius of public space to make it fully cover the whole site. These public Spaces will also be linked into a network of high-quality open and public Spaces supporting well-being, which speeds up the interpenetration of urban life and makes the space more diverse and rich.In order to achieve this, we will use computational tools to automatically calculate the optimal path to generate a city texture. In this texture,We could meet the needs of a variety of urban design by defining the rules and variables of caculation IN STUDIO3, we further detailed the linking ways and spatial levels of these public Spaces. On the basis of obtaining a preliminary urban volume, according to the research on urban typology in Studio1, we made a quick fractal for urban buildings to show their general appearance, and presented more visual effects in the form of illustrations to the customers.It is more intuitive to show the effect after we solve the problem. In this project, we explore the flexibility and sustainability of the future city. On the basis of urban theory, we use computational thinking to design.This is a prediction of the future urban development of The Northern Gateway, and The results are obtained quickly and with high effectly for more city illustrations can be simulated. Programming thinking enables our computer model to simulate urban development step by step, and we can see how the influence of micro-data on macro-urban development in the whole process.

SECOND TOPIC

According to our group’s research on urban evolution theory, it is faced with a huge population growth and a housing demand of about 45,000 people.But at the same time, the disorder of urban traffic leads to the ineffective traffic space between people’s living and working places and the under-utilized urban public space.For example, people may often waste time on the road or need longer trajectories to move from one need center to another. Another example is that the urban floor area ratio is not high, and the housing demand cannot be met, so the area of public space will be correspondingly compressed and have to become small. In the project, we decided to replace urban space in response to this challenge. Space displacement is illustrated on the right.

• Three theories used to assist our design methodology. Urban Development Evolution, Grapy theory, and space syntax. • • The evolution of the city helps define the problems that arise in the development of the city of Manchester, and the enhancement of the urban space through the multi-functional use of land.provides the design concepts as “diversified land usage”. Which is a planning and development approach which promotes environmentally friendly habits by creating a wide range of typologies. It argues that diversity could be improved in the future urban design. • Grapy theory could illustrates spatial relationships in the mathematical way. The mathematical model is used to increase the spatial connectivity and spatial diversity to achieve our design challenge.A graph in this context is made up of vertices (also called nodes or points) which are connected by edges (also called links or lines). • • The general idea of Space Syntax is that spaces can be broken down into components, analyzed as networks and represented as graphs that describe the relative connectivity and integration of those spaces.Used to test the quality of the existing road and generate the quality of the road to obtain better results.

SUmmary of what we research in this unit The population data were extracted within the Northern Gateway. By recording daily trajectories of residents, and the analysis of their main activities. Public spaces with the highest utilization in each time period was determined in Northern Gateway. Based on the data analysis, eight types of spatial functions are determined. Which are highly used in this area and enjoyed by residents.

data analysis

IN STUDIO2, our space strategy is to arrange the position of public space regularly according to the data analysis of Studio1. We study the service radius of public space to make it fully cover the whole site.These public Spaces will also be linked into a network of high-quality open and public Spaces supporting well-being, which speeds up the interpenetration of urban life and makes the space more diverse and rich.In order to achieve this, we will use computational tools to automatically calculate the optimal path to generate a city texture. In this texture,We could meet the needs of a variety of urban design by defining the rules and variables of caculation

How can we establish a network of high-quality open and public Spaces to support well-being and enhanced diversity in OUR MAIN URBAN DESIGN CHALLENGE.Based on the logic of StuidO2 tool design, we continue to deepen the link way of public space. We do typology research on public space in the same way as Studio1, and use StudiO2 logic to further connect them. Our tool becomes more detailed and rich, which is a great way of thinking. Hope for future ,we can develop more tools in the future that can be used on top of each other to solve complex urban challenges. 。

“STUDIO 3 ” tool development

IN STUDIO3, we further detailed the linking ways and spatial levels of these public Spaces. On the basis of obtaining a preliminary urban volume, according to the research on urban typology in Studio1, we made a quick fractal for urban buildings to show their general appearance, and presented more visual effects in the form of illustrations to the customers.It is more intuitive to show the effect after we solve the problem.

CHAPTER 06

Conclusion

CONCLUTION • Enhancing the diversity of the public spaces was considered as the main challenge of this design. We achieve the challenge by integrating the series of public spaces in the generated outcome. In order to achieve the goal, we firstly analyze the distribution of public space and their service radius, to get the area that cannot be covered by public services. Secondly, the population composition of the site is analyzed to get the type of public space needed in this area. Then the planning theory is used to reorganize the roads’ network, and arrange the public space inside the site, and deepen the scheme. Finally, connect the existing green spaces with the public spaces to form the “public corridor” inside the site. • • In the design process, we learned how to create tools through design concepts to assist designers achieve their challenges. By controlling the parameters of urban areas, a variety of design results are generated, and the optimal solution is selected. In order to endow the tools with certain logic, it is necessary to look at the relevant theories of architectural design / urban design to translate them into digital language before designing computational tools. • • The tool we created in this project could solve the problem that the scale of public space in a certain area of the city is not coordinated with its environment. It could optimize the internal traffic system according to the network around the site. It also could divide the blocks into appropriate scale based on the classification of the public spaces nearby. The controllability of design is enhanced as theories are transformed into a computational language which can be quantified digitally. While creating design tools, we have realized that in the future, this new design method may bring more logic and support to our projects.

• This is the end of our project, but it’s also the beginning of some new in the future! • Special thanks to Sol and Uly for their patience and time in guiding this project. We are very lucky to have you all.
