Workshop
Study Trip
The third phase of the course began with a 3-day study trip to Hamburg HafenCity. HafenCity is Europe’s biggest inner-city transformation project that will convert a former port area into an urban district with successful integrated urban development that takes local requirements and high expectations of urbanity and sustainability equally into consideration.
The trip was composed of study tours, site visits, and the class had the opportunity to pay a visit to the City planning office in Hamburg to learn about the planning principles and on-going developments processes.
These experiences provided a valuable input for the collaborative digital workshop that followed with the Chinese architecture and landscape architecture students from the universities in China. The workshop resulted in group proposals that showcased a variety of sustainable strategies for the future urban development of Dujiangyan and offered an
