PRESERVATION FOR FUTURE INHERITANCE FROM NOW 2000 2010(NOW)

From the Society for the Study of Chinese Architecture found Dule Temple in 1929 to Chinese government announced the 6th group of national cultural relics protection units in 2001, we can find an interesting trend that the interval between the object and the moments of its preservation has decreased from 1000 years in 1929 to only 30 years in 2006 and the interval might be disappear. At present, there is a problem in China and even the whole world that the number of ancient heritage is diminishing while the number of modern heritage is escalating. The new are becoming the old and the old are becoming decay.The phenomenon is objective and always been occurring that we can only passively cope with it.

DECAY

In response to this situation, our concept is that in a radical shift from the retrospective to the prospective,we will then have to decide what to preserve before we build. First, we should make a census of land in the city. Depending on the type and values of each land we delineate the specific areas which should be preserved in the future. Then we zone the areas and mark on the starting year to preserve and update for each zone. At the same time, the landscape began to intervene and grow with the decay of the areas and act as icon and buffer in the process. This conception we call it as “Crop Rotation”, which is like the crop rotation in fields: Sowing the seeds in different dates and having a good harvest in different seasons.

PLAN FOR SHANGHAI Lujiazui, which literally means “Lu’s Mouth”, is located in the Pudong New District on the eastern bank of Huangpu River. It forms a peninsula on a bend of the Huangpu river, which turns from flowing north to flowing east. Now,Lujiazui is an important financial district in Pudong, Shanghai. In 2005 the State Council reaffirmed the positioning of the 31.78 km² Lujiazui area, as the only finance and trade zone among the 185 state-level development zones in mainland China.

DESIGN IN EACH PHASE The approaches and strategies which intergrate the landscape architecture(LA) and inheritance preservation are being different from iconographic traditional Chinese garden. LA in China begin to dissolve into cities with more positive even radical attitude and become part of urban strategy, trying to tackle and solve the problems in the process of urban growth with the discipline of urban design. This process, combining the LA and urbanization closely, extends the inner core of Chinese LA and especially its significance to the urban which demonstrates new direction and potential in china.

ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO LIVE Landscape as breakthrough point for urban renewal Commission, Linquan, Anhui Province, 2013 Collaborator: Felipe Guzman Contribution: Concept 70%, Analysis 60%, Drawing 70%


LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION ACCESS Linquan is a county of Anhui Province, China. It is under the administration of Fuyang city. It is the most populous county (2.3 million) in China. By the end of 2012, about 0.57 million people working outside the county. Linquan locates on the border of Anhui & Henan Province which gives the county certain geographic advantage. However, the transportation accessibility of Linquan is not very high because there is no railway and expressway now and the nearst airport is in Fuyang city.

Location in Anhui Province

County Level Access

City Level Access

FRAMEWORK STRATEGIES In the context of China’s rapid urbanization, Linquan encounters common problems in the development of Chinese counties, that is, transformation of the rural population to urban population, transformation from agricultural economy to industrial economy. How can we develop the city of Linquan as a competitive city that is sensitive to its own identity and character within a flexible sustainable development framework?

INNER CITY RENEWAL $$

? Starting from the public space remodeling, the renewal work should go on stressfully and moderately to improve human habitation environment, to recover the ecology of the old city and to achieve the remodeling pattern for social and economic sustainable development, while preserving traditional heritages and waterway space.

Strategy 1: Intensive Utilization

Strategy 2: Accurate Phasing

Strategy 3: Clear Structure

Calculate accurately the amount of relocation and the size of plot needed

Phase the development plan according to the budget and profit

Articulate the city structure by intergrating potential plots and key projects

Strategy 4: Preserve Heritage

Strategy 5: Streets Lead To River

Strategy 6: Pedestrain Emphasis

Renew a series of heritages to perserve the sense of place and collective memory

Increase open spaces along river thus provide more attractions for people

Maintain and reuse those alleys across blocks for pedestrain system


STORY OF JIANGHU Landscape as showcase for industrial buildings Finalist in International Bidding, Qinshan Lake, Nanchang, 2011 Individual Work


SITE ANALYSIS Planning area is approximately 274 hectares, with about 120 hectares available for renovation. The length of riverside is about 1.6 kilometers while Qingshan Lake shoreline is about 3 km. The site is about 15 minutes drive from downtown of Nanchang and 25 minutes to airport. While there are two fast lane in this area, the transportation condition is relatively convenient. The site is originally used to be industrial warehouse area and there are numbers of large state-owned industrial enterprises. With the development of cities, the image of this area is outdated.

RAILWAY TRACK + SOHO + Green Space

In the SOHO and hotel area, I preserved railway track without wooden ties. The railway track could be the paving pattern of the plaza in the center of blocks. Combining with art sculpture, they could bring certain cultural vitality to this area.

RAILWAY TRACK +

Renovated Industrial Building + Green Space In conjunction with the renovated industrial buildings (original abandoned warehouse), the railway track here was used to show the history of site by designing part of track as pavement while preserving other part of track (with wooden ties) in green space.

RAILWAY TRACK + Retail + Green Space

The railway track here was still used as pavement for shopping plaza. The difference is, weeds were allowed to grew through the cracks in the paving in order to keep a sense of continuity with the linear park in another side of track.

RAILWAY TRACK + Residential + Green Space

The railway track here was used to seperate residential and park and to define the boundary. With several seats and rest stops, the track could be an excellent promenade in the park.

FLOWING BRIDGE Landscape as bright spot to gather people 1st Prize in International Bidding, Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou, 2012 Individual Work in Concept Design Stage


SITE CONDITION

Qiandao Lake (Thousand Island Lake), a man-made lake located in Chun’an County, Zhejiang, China, formed after the completion of the Xin’an River hydroelectric station in 1959. 1,078 large islands dot the lake and a few thousand smaller ones are scattered across it. The site of square is located in central area of Qiandao Lake Town and it used to be a dirty fruit market before.

Our conception was inspired by two things: one is the topography of Qiandao Lake including the streamline form of waterflow and island terrace; another one is the changing elevations of the mountains scattering on the lake that constitute a beautiful sequence. Because of long and narrow site condition, I considered that we need a powerful footbridge to integrate the site. Also, the footbridge could be seen as an huge sculpture and potential landmark of the city when considering site’s key position in city. In addition, the footbridge can be used to sperate and define those smaller spaces such as outdoor coffee bar, playground and terraced platform.

The design used the islets in the lake as prototype with its streamline form imitating waterflow and topography of Qiandao Lake. The footbridge not only provides a buffer area between entrance and central square but also is used to be a platform to enjoy the lake .
