The free school meal program in Poughkeepsie City is failing. Previous initiatives to supply healthy food to students have gone down the chute because students were simply not interested. We’re working on version 2.0 by adding on a live gaming curriculum about the food cycle, starting from school cafeterias and expanding beyond that with urban foodscape pathways. PoughkeepsieGo! is the starting point of a food culture revolution that engages students to get to know what’s on their plate.

The Poughkeepsie City School District is distinct from its Dutchess County neighbours in several ways: It is coterminous with the urban area, representing a significantly underprivileged demographic. It is also the only one meeting the poverty threshold for Community Eligibility Provision – a free school meal program implemented by the government. Previous food programs have been implemented to deal with its high levels of obesity and waste, but have fallen short due to disinterested students that lack nutritional education.

The urban design premise of PoughkeepsieGo! is based on fun as a pedagogical concept. By speaking the language of children –through gaming—to engage and educate about what’s on their plate, we hope to start a food cultural revolution against current junk food habits. The proposal appropriates the vernacular of play in order to instill a critical consciousness of all food-related processes and products. In order to do this, PoughkeepsieGo! is implementing a gamescape at three scales:
1) within schools --- physical proposal to transform schools into a food learning hub 2) within Poughkeepsie city --- urban exploration, engagement and advocacy with foodscape 3) within the region --- satellite campus partnership to facilitate systematic efficiency

The gamescape is structured around bringing different schools within Poughkeepsie City School District together; by sharing a common learning experience and a centralized kitchen. It is a strategy of localization in order to make efficient economies of food production and consumption. As children move through the K-12 public school system, they study the entire food cycle and participate in the processes within. PoughkeepsieGo! represents a start – a beta version – as an open network, welcoming future expansion to community collaborators for a dynamic gaming curriculum.
new people’s commune
The project reviews this abandoned factory at urban border with development history of Shenzhen as the background. We design a brand new community for the border men that just arrived in Shenzhen. The community will attach itself to a growing mega-structure.
from rural to urban
our site, a glass factory locates besides the Shekou harbour, which is at the boarder of Shenzhen.
Doug Saunders visited lots of edges of the city in the world and he wrote in his book Arrival City: "What I found in these places were people who had been born in villages, who had their minds and ambitions fixed on the symbolic center of the city, and who were engaged in a struggle of monumental scope to find a basic and lasting berth in the city for their children." As an urban border, the Guangdong can be an arrival city for the people from rural. The community will provide low cost lives for them while they will be preparing for find a place in the center of the city.
open gate of China Chineses built the Great Wall in the north of China to resist the nomad’s invasions. Different from north China, the endless coastline in south China has always been the confrontation between the chineses and foreigners. Shekou, the southest part of Shenzhen, had more and more foreigners coming and increase 20% per year. Shekou is now an international area and the best choice for foreigners come to China.

value class
Farmers who want to be artists pay for being educated by the poor artists by working in the value farm.
Poor artists pay for their own creative work space by educating the farmers who wants to be artists.
The extra food and the art works that the farmers and the artists produce will sale to out side of the community by land and water.
After the farmers and the artists get enough skills and money, they can “graduate� from the New People’s Commune and go to the city center.
packing hall
machine hall
Functioning as an auditorium and recruiment center, the old warehouse is now the place to help newcomers settle in the city.
The former machine hall is redesigned as a gallary and trading center. It consists of studios, conference room and exhibition hall.
entrance warehouse
silo
Service center locates on the entrance of the commune. residents' daily requirement can be satisfied here. A clinic and a guard room are incoporated in the service center.
Being transformed into a club and entertainment center, silo is thoroughly reused. Residents will have regualr parties and club activities as wel as a community library.
taking the Land on Shenzhne as an image, we put the housing and shared working space into one huge board volumn. By filling the empty space of the factory with that volumn, the original sky line in Shekou will be maintained.

coexist community
Urban-village is urban phenomenon particularly exists in Shenzhen. However, driven by tremendous interests, developers were tearing the urban-villages down one after the other, built up the whole new high buildings and large mansions on ruins. Original context, cultures and residents can not longer been found. In this program, we not only guarantee the interests of the developers, but also keep the residence for the low-income immigrants; not only built up the prosperities of the new mansions but also remain the old memories of the village. A coexist community, are keeping more elements exist on this very land.

Baishizhou is the biggest urbanvillage in Shenzhen, with a fantastic location and high potential of land value. But now it has fallen into big troubles, high density, hig h p o p u l a t i o n , poor sanitation, lack of basic facilities. All of these problems block its way developing to be a comfortable and attractive community. site area : 59.79 hm2 buliding area: 174.4 hm2 plot ratio : 3.07 population : ~100,000 (original villager 1800)

According to our research, some advantages of Baisizhou, such as the spacial formation,active community,and the location, can be used to achieve the goal of overall development. To allocate the benefits of city renewal reasonably to each participants is one of our concerns, which is helpful to build the ‘coexist community’, carrying more activities and meeting various needs of the modern live. There are four main types of participant which are included in the Baishizhou renewal project, and each of them has a different appeal, thus the goal is trying to organize these appeals to reach a balance.

Four original elements of Baishizhou are preserved as a basis to create two axes linking two parts of the site. Optimized road network could better serve the community and urban traffic. The landmasses are separated by the road network and the axes. Further more, two outside landmasses between the north part and the south part, are considered to help the site forming a continuity community.

linear park primary school

Because our site currently lacks basic greening, the suitable greening space is one of the most significant parts of our planning. Instead of the traditional greening pieces, if a greening axis cuts from north to south through our long shape site connecting all the dots and making them one, that will be a nice place for the residents. Therefore we decide to stretch it out along the site itself, to create a linear continual greening pedestrian park to enlarge the range of its service. Along the axis there are a primary school, a kindergarten, and the sports facilities which can also open to public on weekends.
