01 HISTORICAL MEMORY

POLIMI 2017 Spring Sustainable Architecture and Landscaple Design Thesis Professor: Stefano Stabilini, Camilo Rebelo

Site: Piacenza Italy Team: Yehan Wang, Guoqing Wang

The thesis explores the possible regeneration of the urban area around ancient wall and abandoned railways, in the east of Piacenza. Several problems are investigated and classified; advantages and opportunities are explored;solutions and expectations, according to exsiting analysis, are presented. The project outlines the strategic role of landscape to enhance urban quality and social life. The anticipation of the project is to form a green system to improve the connection of the society,as well as to motivate the surrounding blocks. Deeply rooted to the history and urban development over centuries, the relation between contemporary Piacenza and historical traces can be consequently reinvented starting by an abandoned and underestimated public passage.

As we all know, with the development of society,green public spaces is a essential role for contemporary society. At the same time,lots of heritage are forgotten or destroyed by the human beings to make a compromise for economy. Actually,some passages are very convenient for transportation but still few people would like to use them.The essential issues are those passages lacking attraction and safety,such as bare ground without plants,dark environment which needs lights,no place to have a seat and so on,which are not considering the feelings of users. So, for both objective and subjective perspective, we want to do the research and develop the green passage in Piacenza.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE WALL

Old Days

In the past,the wall was used as a protection for the city.All kinds of social activities ,including economy,military,culture and so on,had taken place inside the wall. The wall became a boundary for the city gradually.

Last Century

Nowadays

With the development of the city, the wall lost its function and even became a barrier for the expansion of the city. In that situation, some parts of the wall were demolished in order to give enough space for industry, residence and other aspects.

Now the wall turns into a heritage ,which contains lots of historical values and memories.Combined with green areas, it becomes a public space and part of the whole green system.It provides a space for the surrounding inhabitants to spend their leisure time.

Now the wall turns into a heritage which contains lots of historical values and memories. Combined with green areas, it becomes a public space and part of the whole green system. It provides a space for the surrounding inhabitants to spend their leisure time.

In order to complete the green ring along the ancient wall,the eastern part needs to creat a g reen corridor.B ecuse of the disappearance of eastern wall,the trace of abandoned railway can be a alternative choice.Following this trace to develop a linear park.

Traffic Flow

Traffic FlowUser-Friendliness

Green Corridor

The map shows the traffic flow of surrounding blocks.The road connected with train station and new district is very busy,the speed of the car is very fast.The roads in the old town are so narrow that limits the traffic flow there.

People from train station to new town are not convenient, especially for pedestrain and bicycle. Some roads are even in a dangerous condition, full of high-speed cars. But fortunately, there are still some roads providing bicycle paths and even pedestrain path only.

The aim of the project is to create a green passage for pedestrain and bicycle users to arrive the new town in a fast way.At the same time,the path will develop into a linear park,connecting with other green spaces.

TO COMPLETE THE GREEN SYSTEM

From the analysis of the public green space of Piacenza,it is very obvious to find that the eastern part of Piacenza lacking enough green space.And lots of green space are situated in the new district of the city.

The locomotive deposit "Berzolla"is named after the piacentine architect who designed it, Pietro Berzolla (Pontenure 1898, Piacenza 1983). In the 1920s, he did many architectural and urban designs around Italy. He was inspired by the new technologies and typologies that he saw in his study trips in Northern Europe. Located near the parking lot of the Borgo Faxhall Shopping center, between the Roma barrier and the Piazzale Marconi Train Station. On the left side of the building, facing the railroad, the typology and the decoration pattern of the faรงade are repeated several times. In old times, over this side of the building there were big openings that have now been closed.

DEATH IS IN THE MIND OF SOMEONE LIVING

POLIMI 2017 Spring Sustainable Architecture and Landscaple Design Studio Professor:Karin Elke Hofert Feix,Riccardo Genta,Jaime Blanco Site: Barcelona Spain Team: Yehan Wang,Maria Aldea, Andrea Manzini

Barcelona since the Olympics in 1992 has gone through an important renewal of its cityscape, becoming a reference for the urban development of consolidated towns. The different proposals and the way they have been carried out, as well as the areas that still have to be arranged, mostly at the city borders, provide a large range of opportunities to think upon landscape, space and civic life in the 21st century. Barcelona has also changed its character; it has developed from provincial town to international city. People of all parts of the world share space and services, sorrows and joys. The topic of the project consists in the re-generation of an area at the city border, by designing a park hosting a universal ecumenical cemetery with related facilities. The typology of the cemetery varies from one place in the world to another.So the aim of this project is to develop a brand-new theme: how to design a memorial landscape that is able to accommodate anyone in harmony independent from origin, culture, language, colour, gender, religion, etc. Globalization of our world should also include sharing the memory for our beloved, as a specific contribution to peace.

The site in which the intervention is going to take place is located in one of the last empty spots inside the city of Barcelona, in close proximity of the belt road that runs all along the city. Its main connection with the city is not this highway though, but the famous parallel,a street that cuts the city in the north-western direction and connects the city harbour (and the Barceloneta Beach) with the St. Peter's mountain, and then the remaining inland of Spain. This area is characterized by a multitude of industrial preexistences, some of which are facing an uncertain fate. Some of them presents a high historical value , some of them are witnesses of a recently past era, but all of them nonetheless important, and worth of careful consideration. The topography of the area is moreover quite peculiar : because of the various activities that took place here. the soil has been removed and added during decades in order to adapt the place and make it easier to work on. The position of the plot itself makes the topography a more than important element to take into account. because the area is located on the hill that then becomes, not that much further away. St . Peter Mountain , and slopes constantly until it reaches the sea.

The fact that the functional program for this intervention rotates around the construction of a cemetery made us all question, at some point, the meaning of 'death' itself. Since the project team was composed by members of diffierent nationalities from different continents, a common ground had to be found in order to start discussing on a paritarian level. Religions, beliefs and superstitions changes from place to place, and from time to time, so it was obvious that in order to create something accomodating for people from diverse backgrounds they were was not suitable choices. We really needed to find something more universal to use as a starting point. The common point that we found, unbound by place, space, beliefs and mentality is the fact that celebrations in honour of the dead are, quite obviously, held by alive people in order to preserve that thing called 'memory'. And memory is something strictly related to t alive word. since non-alive matter is unaware of the living condition of maintenance, memory, reproduction and on. This led us to the definition of a title, a strategy and a logo, aided by a fine piece of art by Damien Hirst. This artpiece is the formaldheld-preserved shark named "the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living", which we radically reverted since we are strongly convinced that death is INDEED something to be found in the mind of someone living. Hence the idea of creating a pleasant and welcoming space for living human beings in which to meditate upon the idea of death and to celebrate the memory of their beloved, prior to create a space for dead ones.

We went through several analysis steps in order to reach a strategy able to create that welcoming place. And we faced most of the characteristic, we already described before in order to correct them, empoer them or make them work in a functioning system. We tried our best to preserve the original configuration both in terms of topography and architecture, configuring the whole plant as a landscape project with the aid of the architectural elements in crucial points to enforce connections or separation.

This practise is the interment of the body of a dead person in the soil in a manner that does not inhibit decomposition but allows the body to recycle naturally. It is an ALTERNATIVE BURIAL, that people choose to distance themselves from specific religious practices and spiritual locations. These green burial has a minimal impact over the enviroment.

The left part of the site is devoted to dwelling and commercial activities, so the main focus is to strenghten sense of community between the different kinds of inhabitants(students, elderly people and temporary visitors) in such a way that sharing their public spaces could enforce the interaction between those categories, while offering a fertile ground for the developement of commercial activities all around the new shopping mall. The presence of urban orchards(that does not necessitate of adjustments on the existing topography), shared spaces and public gardens in front of the residential buidings tends exactly to that: minimize the segregation between those groups offering a common ground in which to interact and to spend time together.

This place revives the reinforcement wall of a former power substation, dismantled for this intervention. it preserves the same alignment as the concrete reinforcement and the same height difference as well, in order to minimize any movement of dirt. The power substation will then be completely dismantled exept for a small piece of concrete slab that will serve as a stage for the theater itself, while the reinforcement wall will be converted by the implementation of a serie of green terraces that accompany the level difference from the surroundings to the sunken stage. The background of the theater will then be this serie of terraces, while people can still be able to sit on them and on the slopling grass towards the cemetery developement, in the presence or in the absence of events, to enjoy the view, think, and relax.

The upper part of this ramp serves as a continuation and a clear ending point for the landscape coming from the right side of the site, because of the necessity in that same spot to provide a public facade on the main square on the intersection of the two axis. It serves the system as a nursery for plants that are then going to be moved in the cemetery itself: flowers, bushes, weeds, and small trees as well. The area is publicly accessible and, while growing those floral elements, it doubles its role as a public garden.

This is a place that acts as a counterpart, and a balancer, for the open-air theatre resulting from the dismantling of a power substation. Mainly it acts as an attractor and a collector for two different axis: the one that comes from the existing building on the southeastern corner of the site and crosses diagonally the right half of the area, and the one that instead connects on the east-west the entire site and comes from the dismantling of the road that connects the 2+1 bridges present in the area. Being mainly an empty circle surrounded by a forestlike vegetation, the sensation is disconnection and sense of directionlessness, all of this while mantaining anyway the ability of overlooking the entrance building and the crematorium through the main pathway, the bridges on the east, and the cemetery developement on the west, dominating as a matter of fact the whole area.v

This old building was unaccessible and ready to be demolished. Nonetheless, it offered a perfect sight on the main road with such an orientation that made absolutely easy the control of said axis. For this reason we wanted to preserve at least the memory of the place, mantaining the outer walls of it and encorporating the structure in a bigger one, able to offer activities that could be suitable for everyone, and not just strictly for people interested in visiting the cemetery. It's, for this peculiar vocation to control and divert the main axis inside of our area, the starting point of the diagonal line crossing the whole cemetery right to the crematorium, for which it dictates the direction with just its presence. It hosts information services as well as some offices on the top floor and a semi-underground library, right next to the original volume,that double its function as a public square on its rooftop.

The residential buildings are sought to be in the middle part of the intervention, in order that they could take full advantage from the main axis that intersect in their close proximity, and be granted a better connection with the public transport system.

They create, thanks to their corners and shapes, two different points of interest on the same axis, the one that cut the area in two halves: they define the main public square on the southern part in which, together with the ramp building, they embrace a public market, and then, in the top part, what they do is defining a smaller and more reserved spaced that perpetuates the conceptual east-west axis as a walkable and visible one, as well as offering a place for studying and spending their less-than-public moments to the students hosted around this place. The northern building accomodates students and elderly people.The southern building accomodates students, visitors, workers and commercial activities.

What happens underneath the garden is not so different, in therms of topography, to what happens on the rooftop. The whole place is an oddly geometrical space that, because of the presence of internal slopes an ramps, it really helps in accomodating the funtion of a museum because of the variable internal hierarchy of spaces, flexible to adapt to more setup. The underground development and the cantilevered parts of the slope above allows this buiding to adopt great transparent surfaces for its facades without the risk for the interiors to be completely flooded with direct light. The stucture is composed of thick load-bearing concrete walls and pillars, and it is clearly readable that such walls and pillars, and it is clearly readable that such structure relates with the terraces starting their development from this point, and then further in the theatre part. One the western side it offers a facade on the main public square, defining a clear border for the park, offering a reference landmark for visitors and creating a distinctive space able to integrate, and communitcate with, the new intervention and the existing envirionment on the other side of the parallel road.

03 LIFE ARTICULATION NODES

POLIMI 2016 Spring Landscape Architecture Studio Professor: Pessoa Pereira Alves Henrique Site: Santa Cecilia, Sao Paolo, Brazil Team: Yehan Wang, Lordi Ana, Kaddouh Khaled

Sao Paolo is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million people with a lackluster public transportation system, problems of air pollution, contamination and lack of public spaces. The AIM of this project is to provide qualities to the city that will improve people's life such as: -Improve mobility: enhance the biking system and pedestrian paths -Create new green spaces: reduce air pollution, improve clean air. -Enhace community feeling: generate new places for the people to interact such as cultural, sport and playground areas. -Susteinability: use less energy to maintain the park by using technologies for lighting that are activated by sunlight. -Identity: recreate a landscape with local vegetaion. Relate the park with the neighborhood so people can have a feeling of appropriation. To achieve this our GOAL is to revitalize the highway by designing an urban green park that interacts with the surroundings and with the different city levels. We want to give the place of the highway back to the city by proposing open green areas with new uses for the community such as cultural, sports, playgrounds, parks and piazzas.

For the MASTERPLAN we want to generate nodes of urban regeneration. Each node is placed according to the analysis in areas where green spaces are nearby and could be connected to the site. Nodes of life articulation bring new activites to specific points of the highway while improve the mobility and provide green areas. They are connected also with the surrounding important areas of the neighborhood generating a Network of public spaces.

DETAILED SITE STRATEGY We consider our detail masterplan as one of the nodes of life articulation. In this particular part of the masterplan we propose to emphasize the cultural uses, green areas and enhance the regeneration of an important of building as our landmark On the ground floor design we relate three areas that we intervene which are: -Public piazza: with a point of accessibility to the park and commercial uses, designed over an area that used to be a parking lot. -Landmark: Regeneration of the old building. -Under the highway Open air theatre area, gym stations and playgrounds. Our aim is that the three areas work toghether providing new life and activities to this area that nowadays is neglected. There is a continuity between them of pavements and cultural uses. This on the park level we recreate a cultural area with public uses. We intervene in a near building where we propose a cultural center that extends the artistic exhibitions to the park.

We want to give the place of the highway back to the city by proposing open green areas with new uses for the community such as cultural, sports, playgrounds, parks and piazzas.

LIFE ARTICULATION NODES Along the highway we propose different ways of intervening in the structure while relating to the surroundings: 1.Accessibility -We provide ramps for bikes that interact with the park level and the ground floor while enhancing the bike system of the city. -Open air theatres act as an accessible point while also create cultural activities. -We provide cores of vertical circulation that are designed in a metal structure following the morphology of the concrete structures of the highway. 2. Cuts on the structure: we create different holes to relate the ground floor level with the park level through the use of elements such as: Vegetation ,Light. 3. Connections: our aim is to relate to the surrounding buildings in different ways: -Extend the park to the roof of the near buildings creating terraces. -Propose new uses on the level of the building that is connected to the park. In our case, for example, we propose a cultural center.

Runffo Control

Maintain crop residue to reduce evaporation and increase inltration. Standing crop residue captures drifting snow and Increases soil. Concentrated flows are converted to dispersed flows by spreaders, facilitating ground contact and inltration. Filtration, deposition, plant uptake, and other natural processes remove sediment and nutrients from runoff and subsurface flows. Tree removal is generally not permitted in this zone. Buffers for sediment trapping should only be used as a final defence. Soils first need to be kept in place as much as possible with sediment and erosion control best management practices. Grassed waterways can be enhanced by including filter strips to filter runoff and to trap sediment outside of the waterway. Buffers can not replace good crop-land management. The most effective strategy is combining buffers with appropriate Crop-land management.

Buffers may contact shallow groundwater and through various processes, remove some pollutants transported in it

Woody species with deeper roots will be better at increasing soil cohesion and reducing mass slope failure.

Buffers for country runoff can be effective for trapping sediment

Buffers for sediment

Sediment is the pollutant most effectively removed from runoff by buffers.

Vegetation and traffic

Buffers and spray drift

Traffic in buffers will compact soil, reducing inltration and vegetation density. Woody Vegetation may protect a buffer from being driven on, preventing soil compaction.

Buffers can help protect non-farmland areas from chemical spray drift.

Grassed waterways for protect channel erosion

Windbreaks for odor control

A grassed waterway is a vegetated channel that carries runoff at a non erosive velocity to a stable outlet.

Windbreaks can reduce odors from livestock and sewage facilities and other odor-producing Sources.

FLOOD Flood attenuation and buffers

Normal

50 years flood

During flood events, riparian buffers and wetlands can slow runoff and absorb excess water. This reduces peak flows and can lessen downstream flooding. Hydrology of tidal wetland, snowing different zones of flood. the regularly flooded zone is flooded at least once 100 year by water, while irrugularly flooded zone is flooded less often.

2012 Winter THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF HIT Site: Harbin China Team: Mei Hongyuan,Miao YE,Yehan Wang

Jiangbei Technology Building in Harbin Note: This work was a practical project, I took part in the construction drawing design. This portfolio collects the part-construction drawings of the project. BACKGROUND The Jiangbei Technology Building is in the Songbei District, Harbin. This is a super high-rise office building. The annex is in the north. The functions of this building are fivefold: offices, meeting,services,parking and building maintenance. The above ground part of the main tower has 40 floors. The annex has 3 floors and the underground part of it has 2 floors. The outline of this building is simple. The shape of the head is from chinese character ' ĺąą â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;, which means 'Mountain' implying the wishes of the constructors, that the building will be everlasting.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I started photography seven years ago. Life is short, but there is so much beauty in life. Photography is an excellent way to capture these beautiful moments.Where I have been, my friends are my subjects. In the later stages, I will simulate some interesting and creative scenes to shoot. I like to try a variety of styles. Photography is very helpful for my understanding of life and the study of aesthetics. Here are some of my photography.
