Bozzi Manfredi & Welan Chu
Casablanca, as a port city, lacks the most fundamental connection to its context: the connection to the sea. Rather than embracing the port, we observed that the city has apparently turned its back on it throughout time. The one public connection, the Hassan II Mosque, in fact reveals the great enthusiasm Casablancans have with the sea, prompting our intention to increase the connection between the city and sea.

situation | concept | section We envision the intervention as an urban theatre: the Mediatheque acts as the threshold between the city and the port by framing the scenery beyond; the theatre program is both a traditional indoor theatre as well as an open-air theatre and the void space between is the stage where Casablancans - the actors - play out the drama of everyday life.
The public plaza between Mediatheque and the theatre provides subtle suggestions regarding the entrance and routing of both buildings. The plaza allows for diversity of interactions and activities.

site | plan | elevation The mediatheque, as urban threshold relies on void spaces to provide a connection through the building and focusing the visitor's experience. The voids not only allow for views from outside looking through the building, but allow for various interactions between internal volumes/solids. Depending on the program of the adjacent interior or solids the in-between void is appropriated differently, either completely where both programs are identical or absent and remain neutral where the programs are different.

collaboration
Emelien, Evgenia & Juyoung
Every year a one square kilometer territory will be the subject of the competition. This new environment will have a full slate of live-work-play provisions, with the residential component making up to 50% of the total floor space. In the second of this series of competitions, the theme of “Rapidly ageing societies in Asia� was explored. The competition seeks innovative design solutions for a balanced environment for urban life addressing and anticipating the challenges of a rapidly ageing society. The site is located in Yongshan, part of Seoul Metropolitan City, Republic of Korea.

site analysis
SITE
YONGSAN-GU
Yongsan-gu is a district of Seoul, South Korea. Its name means “Dragon Hill�, derived from the hanja characters for dragon (yong) and hill/mountain (san). It sits to the North of the Han River under the shadow of Seoul Tower. Geographically, it is located right in the center of Seoul. It is home to roughly 250,000 people, and is divided into 20 dong, or neighborhoods. Notable locations in Yongsan-gu include Yongsan Station, the sprawling Yongsan Electronics Market, Haebangchon and the Itaewon commercial district. Itaewon is widely known as one of the most ethnically diverse regions in Korea. Many foreigners gravitate towards its shopping centers and nightlife.
proposal | section of the loop Around our site we some different program that has an important meaning for Korean people. By connecting these different elements with a light rail we create a continuous loop. This loop is connected with the existing metroline to create an addition to the current public transport system. The shape of the loop is adjusted to the existing situation to reuse infrastructure where possible. But the loop is not only public transport. The loop is a compact body of light rail, bicycle, pedestrian and green. It always consists out of these elements, but can adapt to different situation.
“Something as simple as walking can have significant physical and mental implications,� Ron Kirk, D.C., a professor at LIFE

In the Vertical Cities Asia competition, one of our studio's projects - “Open ended city� was selected as the first prize and our basic masterplan for next semester. In this proposal, The Hybrid centers will serve as the heart of each community, supporting the education of the children, giving more opportunities to the lives of the elderly and mobilizing the women to work. One hybrid community center was chosen as my design project. The community center will be located in a wild area east of the old city center, which is gradually becoming part of the city according to the new masterplan. The new district has a completely different urban fabric from the one that formed the foundation for Seoul. The main idea of my project is reconstructing the memory of traditional townscape scale.
