Quarry
Farmland
There is a huge quarry pit in the site. How to deal with it is the key to site design. Whether will I weaken it or let it display the prominent sense of the industrial relics?
Vegetation is monotonous in the site. Among them,weeds is dominated. Also, there are only a few flowers growing adjacent to farmland, I start to consider creating the farmland landscape.

Wuhan
Technology City
Wuhan is an important industrial base in China, it has a strong industrial system.
Wuhan is known as a land flowing with milk and honey, a lot of grain and economic crops are planted.

Industrial Society
The human society has experienced the original natural ecology, agriculture, industry and post-industry, it leaves people to think that the environment we are living in should develop to what direction with the evolvement of the time and development of the society, how should we go together to create a beautiful and harmonious living environment in the future?

Post-industrial Society
1940AD
Daniel Bell divided the development of the human society into three stages: Agricultural society, Industrial society and Post-industrial society
Back to the site ...
In the past, farmers grew crops here.
Nowadays, the farmland is abandoned.
In the past, it was a quarry.
Nowadays, the quarry becomes ruins.
I plan to combine the farmland with the quarry into a whole story.
I propose to make the whole site to be more complex to be picturesque

Changlingshan Hill There is little vegetation along the hillside. We can build some landscape trails along the cliff in the forest.
We can consider making the use of original wetland to create new wetland landscape.
This area is close to the primary road, lots of farmland and dilapidated houses lie in it.The unique texture of farmland can be turned into woodland landscape which confined by the park.
Site Analysis & Design Strategies Terrain

Natural ecology Primitive
The field is cut off by a high hill in the east-west direction. There is a broad plain in the west. The closer to the middle part, the greater the slope it will be.

The partition of the field is based on the order of development of social history and each part of it has the distinctive characteristic.
Hydrology
The kind of plants in the field is monotonous and they are distributed along the hill. The main kind of them is bush, with few flowers, surrounded by farmlands.
03
Agriculture
The terrain of the western part of the field is flat. A river runs in the north-south direction. There is a reservoir in the northern part of the field.

Two lines are the main pedestrian path and the wooden broadwalk. They don’t intersect with each other. The wooden broadwalk crosses the farmland and wetland which brings about a good view.
Viewpoints should be placed at commanding heights of the field.In addition, sight interaction is also vital at the entrance, farmlands, wetlands, and the marina. They are minor sight focus points.

I create a different hierarchy of traffic routes for people more accessible to the site. People could park in the north parking lot, then they can choose to take a walk either along the ground trail or broadwalk over the wetland. 12
Water Wheel Working Anatomy
Key Nodes
A person leans on the handrail, and steps on the wheel.
Water wheel interaction experience
When the wheel rotates, river water swarms into the inner space of wheel through the large gap on the rim of the wheel.
Broadwalk experience
When the filled parts rotate to the highest point, water will run off into the channel and finally drain to the wetland area.

Most of the elderly live alone or help their children raise their grandchildren, lacking of family warmth.

Because of job, young people are often too busy to take care of their children and also rarely live with their parents.
Elderly space
Parents space
We can return to an extended family system, it holds together with the family and also provides independent space for each generation of family members.
Existing Problems
Too less greening
Too crowded space
They want to have some greening.
The second generation was born, space is compressed.
There is no enough space for more greening.
The third generation was born, the space is compressed again.
Strategies The blocks grow downwards.
The multiplying floors are all used for greening before building new rooms.
Two years later, the new generation was born. New rooms will be built.
Ten years later,more rooms will be built for need.
Residents can build walls and segment space according to the original column grid.
The blocks grow upwards.

Phase6: Shape Refining & Traffic Planning
The site is located in an open space of the old city district. At first, we determine the basic floor, transform the general shape of the central part inward for vertical transportation.
Then according to the function, floors are divided into the “Solid floor-Multiplying floor�mode, in addition, the internal module of the multiplying floor is partitioned by the track.
Finally, we exert building facade decoration to enable the exterior more artistic.

Observation Perspective
All plants should be suitable for indoor growing because they cannot get as much fresh air as those outdoor. What’s more, fewer plants make the floor a clean and spacious place for more possibility of communication. The glass curtain wall makes sure enough sunlight for growing and circulates the fresh air for plants.

Inundation cycle: 15” of water every 5 days Evaporation rate: holds at 15” for 2 days, then dissipates 3” per hour
Impact of poleward shift: after every 50th cycle, 1” of water remains on site. The inundation/ evaporation cycle, however, persists.
Cardboard stack “Marsh”
Material Characters CARDBOARD
Cardboard does not absorb water on the flat side. All standing water evaporates.
Gap of cardboard -- “Channel”
CARDBOARD
Cardboard can be turned on its side to allow water to be caught and held for slow absorption. This requires 1” setback on all soft edges. Edges will grow increasinly fragile over time. Every 50 cycles, another 1” setback will be required.
Wood complex “Water Holder”
Resilient wood piece Float with water level
WOOD
Wood can hold water but it will increase the overall weight. Armature should be adjusted to reflect the increased carrying capacity. Woodcontained water will follow the inundation / evaporation cycle.
