REVIVAL OF A RIVER AREA

Transforming the negative space of the city. Bachelor project at the Chair of Landscape Architecture Beijing Foresty University Summer semester 2016n Jiaoyang Sun Instructed by Prof. Liliang Munich

The plot is located in Haidian District, Beijing, that is one of the most vibrant areas in Beijing, with countless universities and office districts, but also a mix of urban villages where working people live. In this study, the landscape of the Xiaoyue River and the surrounding spaces along the river were used as the main transformation area. Xiaoyue River is a city river, the width is 80m and the length is 4,000 meters. Over the past few decades, the area around the Xiaoyue River has become a negative urban space as the city has expanded and urban villages have emerged. The concrete river does not provide good support for the ecosystem, and the pollution of water bodies and the accumulation of waste in the surrounding environment have led to the abandonment and even insecurity of the area. This study attempts to change the negative attributes of this space by analyzing the ecology of the local water bodies, by modifying the river, widening the width of the river and removing the hard channel to create a more ecological community, and by creating a riverfront walkway to provide space for residents to use.

Whether it is to revive the economy, create an excellent ecosystem or improve the urban living environmenz, people who do not feel it will not want to go by increasing the popularity of the venue. Make it a landmark landscape.
