During the summer in our site, nine rivers inject rainwater from Taihang Mountain into Baiyangdian Lake. Like many other cities in the world, Xiong’An faces the challenge of flooding protection. ‘To live together with water, instead of fighting with water’ It is the only long-term, sustainable solution for Xiong’An as a ‘Millennium Plan’. Thus, Our concept is to highlight the life on the dike, the alternative solutions for the different seasons and practical funtions, and giving the natural landscape back to people's life with the help of engineering caculations.

FIVE TYPES OF ECOLOGICAL DIKES

ZOOM AREA: FEATURED VILLAGE The featured village is seperated into three types according to their specail relations between the dike: the water town inside of the dike, the housing on the dike and the holiday villa outside the dike. basic section

outside waterfront dike

The 54-kilometer-long ecological dike is designed based on the current situation of different topography and water conditions. Five different types are designed according to the future functions, the diverse landscape features and the overall dike construction scheme: 1. Basic section: Under the protection of wind and wave

reduction system, there is no anti-wave forest to block the landscape sight.

2.Outside waterfront dike: the scenery of the lake is unobstructed.

3.Inner dike: becoming a destination park.

4.Dike village: live on the dike neibourhoods.

5.City waterfront balcony: public realm and communications.

The water town is featured with individual courtyard community, mixing with several higher apartments for special groups.

The network is densely packed and forms a double checkerboard pattern with the street. The road is only 4 meters wide, which emphasizing the priorities of pedestrians and bikes. Cultural and commercial settings such as restaurants, shopping centers and libraries are around the inner lake in the middele of the town, where is also the heart of the whole neibourhood.

BACKGROUND

TRAFFIC: FROM CAR-BASED TO 10-MINUTES WALKING CIRCLE

With decades of rapid urban development, the Mangrove Nature Reserve in Shenzhen Bay has become the last natural coastline in the city center. However, the mountain-sea corridor that connects the city and the sea is cut by the 5.95km-long Binhai Avenue.

The 1.56km-long section of Binhai Avenue along Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base is sunken to optimize the traffic conditions on the ground. Underground railway, commerce, road, parking space and plaza are integrated, forming a super subterranean traffic system and realizing high accessibility of transportation. The upper structural cavity and the space underneath the headquarters base are horizontally linked, saving 60,000sqm space on the plane and releases 100,000sqm public green land on the ground level. The central axis of the headquarters base and Shenzhen Bay Park jointly form a T-shaped green axis, creating favorable working and living conditions.

Binhai Avenue plays a major role in linking the east and west of the city. It will carry additional traffic pressure after the completion of Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters.

Facing the triple pressures from the upgraded demands for ecology, transportation and human activity space, how to optimum minimize the impact of urban construction and balance the relationship among the city, space, people and nature is the core of the project.

Within a width limit of 110m, the original 8 two-way main lanes and 2 auxiliary lanes are expanded into 8 two-way main lanes and 6 auxiliary lanes, increasing the traffic capacity of Binhai Avenue. Following the people-oriented principle, the project establishes a 10-minute accessible slow walking system on the ground, avoiding inconvenient crossing or long detour caused by height difference. With the slow walking axis and the seaside slow walking line as the core, the project vertically and horizontally stretches the pedestrian space, forming a large block system with highest accessibility.

PORTFOLIO 2015-2022

SPACE: FROM CONVENTIONAL BUSSINESS TO A CULTURAL AND NATURAL LINKAGE The long, narrow Shenzhen Bay Park extending along the coastline lacks sufficient public activity space for the city and the future Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base. On this land with a high population density and urban development value, what makes it more attractive is to create a scene of returning to natural living and multi-dimensional public vitality.

The superstructure section of Binhai Avenue is constructed into a green corridor connecting Shenzhen Bay Park and Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base, increasing green space and providing future public space creation. The park above the sunken tunnel will enhance the accessibility of people working in the headquarters base to Shenzhen Bay Park, encouraging them to interact with nature. Meanwhile, it will facility urban activities more convenient.

Positioned as “headquarters base + culture + ecology” and based on vigorous green axis, the project creates a public space structure integrating mountain, sea, wetland and urban culture and art.

The multi-level dynamic public spaces under and above ground form an all-weather three-dimensional street system, liberating the suspending corridor from the single traffic function to diversified and complicated functions. Breaking the existing business space mode, the design reshapes a new combination in urban economy, society and urban lifestyle.

A bs o r b

The master planning of Binhai Avenue aims to restore the over-ground ecological corridor and to build a green park above the sunken transportation tunnel. The space available to people, vehicles and migratory birds is vertically separated, with vehicles driven in the sunken underground space, ground floor returned to human, and sky reserved for birds. The road is completely expanded to the north, without occupying the land of the Mangrove Nature Reserve on the south side. Two lines of trees are added inside the expanded road, halving the distance of migratory birds’ resting spots to no more than 10 meters.

The project renovates the riverbank, repairs the soil environment to make it conducive to the growth of plants, and transforms the excessively wide fishpond from a single habitat environment into a diversified one inlaid with deep and shallow water. Besides, it creates mudflat where birds can perch, and a habitat for aquatic plants and other creatures. The dense wetland forest on the north side is extended to the section along Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base and is connected with the central axis, forming a wind corridor, a natural corridor, a flying corridor for migratory birds and an ecological buffer zone around the high-density building complex. Rainwater and flood management system is adopted to fulfill the demands for reclaimed water, and to sustainably cope with local climate change.

2010-2020

As a young city with a history of 40 years, Shenzhen has witnessed the fastest urbanization in China. The area was previously an industrial quarter in 1982. As the city’s development focus shifted to high-tech industry, the urban area equipped with the newest supporting facilities and parks. As early as 2019, there were over 1,000 parks in Shenzhen, with a per capita green area of 11 square meters. However, these green spaces and parks were not evenly distributed or equally available to citizens.

The establishment of industrial zone.

CITIZENS AS CHIEF DESIGNERS

Both sides of the land were closed and inaccessible green belts.

The site was occupied for excavating and constructing metroline, which became a health and safety hazard to the neighborhood.

The diagram on the left shows the reuse of the metro construction materials to build the new garden.

The design team, together with the government and the NGO, organized an extensive public participation plan. Serval surveys on investigating the public’s demands were carried out. Besides, experts, scholars and citizens also joined to hold 7 workshops

and 3 hearings to discuss and optimize the plan. Citizens were encouraged to offer their personal inspiration and creative ideas.

In addition, residents established a volunteer team to share the responsibilities of maintenance with the community. Several measures, such as clearing rubbish and regularly checking the security of facilities, are voluntarily taken to protect the Park.

Its favorable master planning design gives full play to its role as a traffic corridor, which provides a convenient and pleasant path for nearly 200,000 commuters.

More importantly, the park belt includes 9 community parks that crystallize the citizens ’ creativity. With abundant shaded areas, benches, restrooms, free playgrounds for children, and fitness facilities , it offers a perfect venue for various activities. The 2km-long track and the healing garden help promote the health of surrounding residents whilst enhancing their interaction.

CONCEPT

RENOVATION STRATEGY Not until I watched the movie The Man Without

a Past by Aki Kaurismäki did i realize the vitality contained in the container. In a harbour city, the container for accommodation is equiped with dailylife facilities, making the container a machine for living in. Besides, The usage of container is not only due to the fact that it can be tranported easily, but also because it can be found locally. living codition in the film 'The Man Without a Past'

Historically, there were a number of provocative projects suggested hypothetical evolving city, for instance, archigram's Plug-in City (the top left) and Nakagin capsule tower (the top right). However, the solution there is not as aggressive as provocations above, it relys more tightly on status quo in amoy harbor, which is a developing chinese society in miniature.

DEMOLISH!=CHAOS

In china, cities are increasingly transformed by strategic interventions rather than stable longterm master plans, in the meantime, the chaos accompanying with construction always mean the disturbance to surrounding residents and merchants, to relief the bustle resulting from civic development, an alterable container system, which resembles ship holers in shipyard, enable containers to be pluged lately with pre-frames erecting in advance.

There are three extensions, the largest one is the study place, and two exhibition pavilions. They arranged by the existing roads and directions of abbey. By applying this layout, the three volumes shaped a inner forest in the nature by the boarder lines. The abbey was enclosed, the main building is semi-opened to the forest. and the other pavilion is stand in the forest, which generate the transition of spatial openness.

Hans van der laan’s building is well-ordered and interrelated. it can be accessed by the cloisters and the functional areas are connected with them. In functional areas, he separated the spaces into the core functions and peripheral additions by the columns. and then the walls defines the different rooms. Owing to this, he shaped the differences of borderlines. The two gardens in this building are surrounded by cloisters, the small one was paved and opened, the larger one with tress was very isolated with small openings in the corner.

The abbey was constructed by brickworks, and van der Laan painted it into white. I construct the building

in concrete with the cover of brickworks. and I choose the red grey color which was very common in flemish architecture.

For the constructions, I exposed the beams in most area, and use the gaps in between to introduce more lights through the windows. I chose the wooden mode concrete to response van der Laan’s similar language. The first floor are connected with the sky windows, the lights can reach the ground floor through the hole, and sound accoustic boards are attched between the gaps.

Responding to my program, the small rooms by the window are for the individual study. The floor changed into wood to indicate the differences. The windows till the floor emphasis the feeling of sitting in the nature.

AFSLUITDIJK

Dike security space design

DESCRIPTION

TIME

The competition of Afsluitdijk.

Team work in West 8.

01/2019 Onward

PARTICIPATION

Junior architect and Urban planner, Concept 20%, Building scheme/Materlization 20%, Visualization 30%

INSPIRATION

The Afsluitdijk is the hydraulic engineering icon of the twentieth century. For more than eighty years the Afsluitdijk protects the Netherlands against the unpredictable forces of the water. In order to prepare the Afsluitdijk for the future, the water safety and water discharge capacity of the Afsluitdijk will now be increased.

SAFETY AS PART OF THE DESIGN The almost 80-year-old locks is protected and renewed in a new look. In the event of a storm, a single roller door can close the shipping passage to Kornwerderzand. This can protect the lock port and the locks complex against the high waves.

The service road also functions as a cycle path, it is possible to access to the lock. This road also serves as an access road for the motorhome. The road is paved with grass-covered tiles.

On the west side of the floodgate the soil body is smoothly transferred from the retaining wall to the dike body. The upper and lower valleys of the dike split up here, with the subtile moving through the shape of the island around the north side of the casemate.

The upper slope connects to the dike organically and comes with the overtalud at the turning means. The ground body of the casemate is returned to the upper slope of the dike.

The opening in the main water barrier is accentuated with clearly recognizable retaining walls that are symmetrically designed with respect to the existing swing bridges. The rounded transitions to the embankment of the harbor dams ensure that the flood barrier runs smoothly in the landscape. At the location of the greenhouse, the retaining wall protrudes above the ground level at fall-through height, so that fencing and other additions are prevented.

Site

The site in ancient Chinese painting

Phase 1. We cleared up the existing hamlets in our site, and set the hamlet plates as residential plates in our design.

Phase 2.The blank area was nursery garden and marshland. We decided to

move out this industry and change it into a natural garden, including valleys, open waters and crop-fields.

Phase 3.The area enclosed by black dash line is the boundary of our site.

They used to be farmer houses and we planed to put public buildings (Thirteen Clubs) here. They serve for both the residents in the community and people from city.

TWO INSPIRATIONS “Bitter Bamboo Shoot Handwriting” The picture on the upper left is a copy of 'Bitter Bamboo Shoot Handwriting' conposed by Buddhist monk Huai Su, Tang dynasty. The seals were stamped by connoisseurs who once owned this work.The seals are like the residential plates which are affirmtory, stable and enclosed. While the handwriting part is like public building and garden which is disengaged, active and open.

Bitter Bamboo Shoot Handwriting

Fragment of “Wu Qin Xi“

Fragment of “Wu Qin Xi”

The picture on the bottom left is the Fragments of 'Wu Qin Xi'.The shapes of these fragments and the relationship of the frag-ments and rifts are quite similar to what we supposed our village to be: Residential plates are of different but natural shapes according to their different conditions while public buildings and gardens grow freely in between them. They are engaged with each other, and sometimes pass through one another. They interact naturally and harmoniously.

RESIDENTIAL SYSTEM

BOUNDARY SYSTEM

TRAFFIC SYSTEM

The residential plates are like clouds floaing over the continuous garden.

Dewellings are built on edge of each plate, forming an enclosure and the boundary of each plate. At the bottom (beneath the ground) of each plate, there are parking area, sinking down courtyards and workable space for each family. We provide two types of dewelling : One is coutyard house which occupys the largest share, and the other is high density house which stands on the edge. The prototype of the dwelling is the local traditional courtyard house, but we provide it with modern qualities.

There are generally two types of boundary in our design.

One is natural boundary and the other is artificial boundary which is the group of high density houses and public buildings. The natural boundary consists of the hill on the west and the river behind it.

The drive way system are designed basiclly according to existing drive ways. Each driveway has footway on each side.

The footway system provides a roaming experience all around the site, which pass through plates, fieldsand the hill. People could experience and enjoy their habitat.
