Project 2/ Residential District Planning/ User-friedndly Location: Guanganmen, Beijing Type: Academic / Individual Tutor: Luyuan Period: 6 weeks/ Oct. 2012-Dec. 2012
Description This project is a residential planning, situated in Guanganmen, to the east of a Jing-Guang railway. During the site investigation and collecting the questionaires, we found that the west side of the side is noicy but with a beautiful landscape, and the more interesting thing is, the result of the questionaires shows that young people would be more active and the old likes the tranquil environment, Consequently we decide to make full use of the west part of the site and turn bad into good, by designing more open spaces and facilities for active young people on the west site and leave the tranquil east part to the old. Also, the services are put on the first floor instead of living spaces to respect the privacy of people and for the convinience for residents.
CHALLENGES The site is to the west of Guangan men Street and Tonghui River. Surrounding the site, there are adequate transportation facilities, service facilities and public green spaces which can meet the basic living demands of the local people. However, three tall residential building on the South side should be taken into account, because of the shadows will influence the site, as well as the noicy railway on the west side,
