Urbanism for an Urban Century In the coming decades, 70% world population will live in cities. As is shown, over 80% cities in the world are in the north sphere of Earth. They devided themselves in groups by various criteria. By wealth, connectivty, and development, there are global, booming and shrinking cities; and by population and density, there are different hierachies as population centers, also coordinated with the growth of cities. Thus, I would say, NOW, we are already in an urban century, and urbanism is the only way for human to face up to the challenges, and we need to search as many as paths to deliver the sustainability back to the "city" planet. 5 cities of them are selected to show different solutions to the challenges from future for sustainability, whose density shows as right diagrams.

GLOBAL CITIES | manhattan 2111, new york

ParaDoX New York

parallel streets parallel buildings parallel offices parallel sysems and parallel life the city seems to be parallel with everything but still alive and attractive


Story of a Great City | ParaDoX New York

people living here are seeking to DO something to change their life here, they are smiling here, crying and they might be ending they are searching for the truth and losing themselves they are just DOing to make it better ... and even a bird will return to the parallel city because people here are doing something to change

what it will be in the future is an X uncertainty is everywhere but worth to hope but still NYC is great for its Para-DO-X

Ubiquitous computing is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. In the course of ordinary activities, someone "using" ubiquitous computing engages many computational devices and systems simultaneously, and may not necessarily even be aware that they are doing so. This model is usually considered an advancement from the desktop paradigm. More formally, ubiquitous computing is defined as "machines that fit the human environment instead of forcing humans to enter theirs."

This paradigm is also described as pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, or, more recently, everyware, where each term emphasizes slightly different aspects. When primarily concerning the objects involved, it is also physical computing, the Internet of Things, haptic computing, and things that think. Rather than propose a single definition for ubiquitous computing and for these related terms, a taxonomy of properties for ubiquitous computing has been proposed, from which different kinds or flavors of ubiquitous systems and applications can be described.

Visioning Manhattan 2111 | Urban Design with Assumptions in 2111, New York, US STUDIO PROJECT, MUD Program, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, the University of Michigan Location: Manhattan, New York City, New York, US Date: Sep. 2011-Dec. 2011 Director: Roy Strickland Colaborator: Enying XING, Evis BUSHI, Role of Mine: Analysis, Concept, Chief Urban Design, Integrate Urbanism with Engineering and systems, Graphic Design for whole project. New York’s proposed ood mitigation strategy consists of three interventions that respond to climate destabilization. The rst strategy, water condition, implements tetrapods, piers, and vegetation platforms as breakwater objects and ecosystem supports. The vegetation platforms have been inspired by the Break Water Towers: Wet/Dry Ecosystems as proposed by MoMa’s On the Water/Palisade Bay. The second strategy deals with the city edge as a medium connecting the city with the natural systems. A second level pedestrian system, sloped terrain, and the hard/soft scape embankments provide barriers at dierent levels as the water level rises. This strategy with revitalize the waterfront condition ecologically and socially. The third strategy deals with the inner city conditions. It proposes dierent hierarchical green infrastructures to collect and release rain water such as green roof, green facade, soil canal with integrated bioswales and improved existing green space. By providing the soil canal, there is also an opportunity to make streets more walkable through limiting vehicle ow and proposing an underground bypass tunnel. One, or a combination of these strategies could be used adjacent to the severe ood zones but it is notlimited to it spatially. Due to the visual appeal the strategies can be used throughout the island.

The edge of Manhattan has not been emphasized for a long time, especially the connection to nature. The proposal makes the edge of the city habitablethrough partially covering the waterfront boulevard with a hollow green slope. This responds to the climatedestabilization as a ood barrier while leaving room for various activities below and above.

LOCKING TARGET

According to the master plan, the site are supposed to be green space, open space, which brings citizens leis so what kind of park do we need? Should this kind of cultivating field be swept away and do really the farme driven away? What will the farmers do as soon as they leave this place? Or should they stay?

BEIJING

-1989 The proportion of countryside was relatively superior to the urban core, and the site is far away from the downtown area,surrounded by farmland.

SHANDONG

Do we need such pan-urbanized park that consists of little concrete squares and g landscape, shown by the pictures above? The park shown above will lead to:

SHANGHAI

-2009 Currently, the magnificent progression of urbanism has pushed Linyi to the highest spot of the urban history. There have been some more modern buildings and facilities near the site, also the landuse near the belt is in the process of transformation.

Coordinated with the official master plan approved by the government, we clearly acknowledge that the site will be enveloped by urban function, transforming from a border place to a crucial part locate in the urban core.

Do we really have to witness the wierd urbanism this way? And can we or not reďŹ nd a f bearing both the local residents and future users, via providing a new chain of belt area?

- We want to improve farmers’ living condition but switch their society role; - We want this riverfront has its own characteristic which of cultivating culture; - We want to eliminate the contradiction between pan-urbanized invasion and cultivating cu

AFTER

Rivers and field cultivating have been serving as the hub from us human to the nature for thousands of years. Yet in the tide of pan-urbanization, to inherit the original landforms and activities enjoys much of meaningful importance, which can always remind us never losing ourselves in the huge tide via rebuilding up the eco urban environment through the inheritance of the cultivating context.

STRATEGY FRAMEWORK

Inheritance of the site fabric & the Baseline Restoration

gaudy

framework

BEFORE

Integration: With the relocation of the site, urban functions have to be plugged in and integrated with the original context on the site to form a new compound status of the landscaping process, stimulating the local economic ways, and re-identifying the site with a strong common sense of local cultures. Thus, it seems not to be impossible, integrating the agricultural landscaping process into the urban context to sustain the riverfront spatial identities and its context.

Phasing Strategy:

Integration with the urban functions and the cultivating context

There would be 4 phases to achieve the final layout as an example of Cultivating Urbanism in China, along with the new cultivating landscaping process. Baseline Restoration

Farming Restoration

Lifestyle Transformation

Cultivating Urbanism

Transformation: The socio-role of the original residents will transform from farmers to the staff and they will sustain the traditional cultivating activities on, to earn their living by the new socio-status. with the renewal and plugged urban functions, as well as the newly agricultural landscaping processes. Further, the cultivating urbanism will be achieved. Transformation from field to park in Cultivating Urbanism

BOOMING CITIES | linyi riverfront park, china

Baseline Situation

Farmland Layer

Overlapped Layer

Forestland Layer

PHASE 0 Existing Situation

With terrific cultivating fabric as landscaping resource, yet with low quality. And all the process es here is or will be ruined by the urbanization.

Partially disordered fabric, with relitively single planted crops on the site.

Fruit-bear woods and productive forest are the major part on the site, with few of landscaping process and effects.

PHASE 1 Baseline Restoration

In this phase, the baseline will be restored along with the formal fabric on the site .And the embankment will be transformed to Ecoriverfront.

The fabric will be itegrated into a relatively regular form, following with the ar tificial processing restoration to drive the landscape back to a natural style .

To sustain and ally to its original fabric,with some renewal on the types of crops.

Gradually the process will turn into the self-organized one,with the improved circulation system and thevisual corridor system.

To strengthen the site context further, adding some landscaping effective corps.

To transplant the mature trees, coordinated with the former fabric, and build up the future nursery for landscaping trees

PHASE 2 Traditional Farming Behavior Restoration

In phase 2, after the restoration, cultivating activities will be in a better condition, and the water system will be coming up with a initial status; further the circulation system is improved.

To set the circulation system through the woods, and strengthen the visual corridor by removing negative trees.

PHASE 3 The Transformation of Local Economy

In this phase, some urban functions will be plugged into the cultivating context, that is to say, the site is transforming from the single used field into the mix used urban green belt. Also some facilities will beachieved in phase3.

Coming up with the accomplished landscaping process. And all the plants will grow as it goes,with a changing view of the hight, volume, and colors,and of the waters.

Some urban functions will be plugged in the site, coordinate with achieving the fabric form

To enhance the accessibility of the site, vertical to the embankment, and add up with some open space along the major pedestrian routes.

To improve the urban plug-ins, with more stay-free space ,and balance the species of corps.

During the period of growth, to select the most suitable plants and form the matrix to sustain the context .

PHASE 4 Realization of Urban Productive Landscape Both of circulation-open space system,environmental baseline,and the cultivatingcontext will be a chained system. And the cultivating urbanism will be realized on this site, to provide a new riverfront spatial mode.

Landcape in the context of cultivating urbanism will be no longer in a certain status, which will changing with the season, the waters, both the residents and citizens a part of the landscaping processas well.


Circulation & Activity Layer

In the site, there exist merely one pedestrian route by the river; and with poor qualified open space.

Embankment Layer

Infrastructure Layer

The infrastructure on the site shows such a low quality and quantity status.

To set the major entrance, then strengthen the accessibility; and expanse some open space along the river and the field.

To renew the existing facilities on the base of low quality

To strengthen the built circulation system; besides expanding, add some open space through the trees.

Enlarge the former ones and improve its efficiency .

Hydro-Fluctuation Belt & Artificial Water

Along the river, there is all hard and vertical embankment.

The hydrofluction belt is used for cultivating land, and the waters near the embankment enjoy much of contaminated problems.

To break through a point, forming a mudflat, beneficial to duck raising.

Restore the vegetation species on the belt. And re-clear the water, coordinated with bio-methods, artificial planting.

Seated newly built facilities

To make more accesses and connect all the open space via the circulation system.

To set some marina and waterborne plat form then connect them, to improve the spatial quality and the efficiency of circulation system

To enlarge the area of mudflat , improving the eco-effect and coming up with a new wetland landscaping process.

Enlarge the newly built administrative facilities. Transform from infrastructures to the administrative facilities.

Improve the efficiency and the diversity of these facilities. Continue the transformation, and adding up with retails, etc.

Gradually forming a set of mudflat system

With coming of more and more citizens, the embankment need a diversity of ECO-forms, mudflat, or rock type.

the diversity of the species on the belt, will be better, in a new phase of self-organized growth. And make some new pools at the confluence point of the flows.

Duck rising is gradually giving way to the Wetland Bird Watching, thus improving the animal species diversity. And connect the pools, water system.

Form a steady eco-system, with the building up of the embankment-river-hydrofluction belt landscape system.

Perspective of City People

Perspective of Local Residents

Existing Baseline | As a riverfront area, the site indeed lacks so many urban functions to stimulate this area as the identity of the river, and the city, compared to its landscape resource.

Phase 1 | There would be a large scaled baseline restoration, majorly to restore the eco-system of the riverfront, via re-sculpturing the form of the field area and the structure of vegetation.

Phase 2 | The citizens will witness the coming back of traditional cultivating activities that can attract eyes and ears back to this area.

Phase 3 | Unavoidable as is the urbanization, urban functions will be overlapped with the cultivating base context softly, with a better accessibility and an outgoing character for the city.

Phase 4 | Citizens will have opportunities to experience a new riverfront landscaping process, with the cultivating context as the baseline and various waterfront activities as a hub to the future urban form, Cultivating Urbanism.


Visions

Existing Baseline | There are still large -area cultivating field, yet with the emigration of the most residents here. Those who stayed is also about to be swiped away by the tide of urbanization, a no man`s riverfront left to them.

Phase 1 | Here comes with the baseline restoration to improve the cultivating field and some necessary infrastructures, and sanitation facilities.

Phase 2 | Those residents don’t have to move away, they can keep their own way of living in a better condition and they are encouraged to regain the traditional cultivating methods.

Phase 3 | Aggressive and rude as it possible to be, urbanization is unavoidable. Part of the local residents will transform their job from cultivating to feed on to the stuff of the new cultivating park.

Phase 4 | Most of the rest residents will transform their job as well. And all of them will undertake the job of managing this area and cultivating on, with their continuous love to the home land. 20

HOUSTON is the only city in US without Zoning

As the fourth largest city in US, yet Houston cannot escape from the fate of shrinking, given to the challenge from the life style transformation with environment change. With the future, especially in this kind of shrinking cities, we human cannot avoid facing up to the problems from food supply, post oil condition, water issues, and suburbanization. This project would like to answer these 4 troubles via 2 sites in Houston.

Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States of

Post-oil

Food

Suburbanization | Vacancy

Water

America, and the largest city in the state of Texas. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the city had a population of 2.1 million people within an area of 656.3 square miles (1,700 km2). Houston is the seat of Harris County and the economic center of Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with over 6 million people.

Post-oil age has already been influencing us, at any level and any field. Houston as the largest oil city will be pushed as far as possible to be the pioneer to cope with the necessary transformations with the projection of population migration to the cities.

Coming with challenge of the post-oil age, there might be a big trouble not only for Houston, and for every city in North America, that without oil how could we circulate the food far from other region even countries?

After the Crisis, Houston was downsizing the existing offices in downtown area. The Class A sector largely accounted for the quarterly space loss by recording 928,539 square feet of negative absorption, marking the fifth consecutive quarter to witness negative growth; with a lot more vacant parking lot.

Since the climate of Houston is very humid and rainy and there is no way for Houston to develop underground struc ture to mitigate the flood, and the buffalo bayou is kind of abandoned in the section of downtown where there is no necessary flood mitigation strategies, thus, almost all the huge storm will bring flood in downtown area.

And at a region scale, HOUSTON enjoys much importance as the key city in TEXAS TRIANGLE, whcih will connected with each other by high speed rail. And besides, SUN CORRIDOR and NORTH EAST also will be the first mega-regions employing AMTRAK High Speed upgrade. OIL company Flood Area

Site 1: Allen`s Crossing

Houston Regeneration | SITE 1 | Allen`s Crossing

Allen`s Crossing, nor th boundar y of Houston Downtown, locates right next to the initial area of the city, Allen`s Landing. As it is undeveloped and as border space is thought to afford the connection from downtown to the suburban Houston, the site enjoys so much importance rather than a post office of status quo. Further, according to the high speed rail plan, Allen`s crossing can be a good place of high speed rail station, connecting with other cities in the Texas Triangle, as a mega regional anchor.

ULI HINES UD COMPETITION, MUD Program, the University of Michigan Location: Houston Downtown Area, Houston, TX, US Date: Feb. 2012 Director: Douglas Kelbaugh Colaborator: Enying XING, Evis BUSHI Role of Mine: HINES-Analysis, Concept, Chief Urban Designer, Graphic Allen’s Crossing establishes connections to the Historic,Theater,, and Ballpark Districts through multi-modal transit infrastructure including a proposed metro rail.. In doing so, Allen’s Crossing serves as a hub between a mixeduse entertainment district around Minute Maid Stadium;; the emerging night liffe scene along Washington Street to the West W W ; and the cultural amenities ffound in the Historic and Theater Districts. The study area plan aims to maintain reduce the amount of surface parking, and restore the banks of the Buffalo Bay a ou.

Besides the general challenges mentioned in early part, the problem as it shows in the picture, because of the relative low level, and the absence of management to Buffalo Bayou, Allen`s Crossing as well as the landing point undertake risks of flood.

Building typology Given the possible situation of flood and the dependence of Houstonians to automobiles, the mixed-use building podium is consisting of the parking structure and retail space. Thus the traditional courtyard will be raised to a safe level and gradually providing the city with more surfaces for urban life. And in considering of the market, some space of the podium but the side to the street could be transferred as residential space for single bedroom or studio, for young people and even working as SRO.

The dependence of automobile, no-underground parking space, and the shrinkage of economy are responsible for the incredible vacancies in downtown Houston, both for housing and office vacancies. Thus, we would like to try to test 3 scenarios with different touch level to decide which one is better for HOUSTON.

Scenario 1 : active - Post-OIL Transect This scenario request an active touch to the problem of vacancies led by post oil asge, trough plug a full transect in to the site. In this case, multiple functions are applied to the area: offices and major retails are kept along the Main Street, stretching out with a slice of residential and mixed-use transect.

Scenario 2 : half touch - Compromising Transect This scenario compromises between active scenario and zero-touch one, for the uncertainty of the city. Whether post-oil really challenges the future, it still depends. Hopefully, there will be some alternative energy standing out of those experiments as early as possible. While opportunistic is not a good choice for a city.

Scenario 3 : zero touch - Auto-dependence Transect The last one is still testing the vision for office expansion with some highend housing with the CBD like urban core. According to the projection of population and the market, still not clear for the future.

To conclude, we recognize there are many variables affecting Downtown Houston’sDevelopment, some of which are outside the abilities of designers or even city governments to address. However, this proposal looks forward, toward a sustainable development pattern that seeks to mend past development trends through increased density, urban infill and investment in transit. The Transect is an idealized development pattern in a city whose development has historically followed the path of least resistance. The light rail initiatives marked a shift from this historical trend toward broader regional and long term planning goals. This proposal is just a small piece of the puzzle.

BOLD VISION | SMALL PRACTICE : Urban Furniture As mentioned in the preface, 70% world population will live in cities, with a bold vision for an urban future. Yet, how will this large population adapt themselves to this challenging world of time calls for a small practice as a starting point to realize the bold vision, that, urbanism + sustainability, urbanism is the only hope we human face up to the challenges from future, and sustainability is the only way to implement it. For future urban life, we human have nowhere to escape from the transformations of transportation, residential/settlement form, street life, and education, etc. Thus, no matter in global cities, booming cities, or shrinking cities, we need better equipped urban furniture as a start to respond to these changes. Further, in the new background of the re-definition to aesthetics, some luxury and useless urban facilities are fading away, what a city need is something can really better the built and natural environment, then cultivating a healthy social environment, that can symbolize the attitude of cities towards the city planet.

Solar Panel System will provide with sufficient and necessary energy to the lighting system and add to info-borad system; and the different of angles of slope can afford to collecting rain water to the land-cover system.

KICK-OFF WORKS

NOV-25-2010

this workshop is to work with the real problems in the process of development and to share the experiences on sustainable urban design/transportation/ and landscape

LECTURE 1 prologue -Zhang Zhongguo

Urban design also may serve as the potential choice that can lead us human to the future such in an urban century. A group of statistics from UNEP revealed that in the future years, over 80% population will pour into city where they will settle to live on. If the 20th century can be described as a scientific and progressive century, now, 21st century must be pronounced as an urban century. In such a period,we human have been coming to realize the aftermaths due to the development itself are growing with the challenges of the continuity of our own----people has never been stopping thinking over the future of human, from our ancestors to the offspring, however, never in such a hurry and immediately as the moment we are at. As a potential urban designer, honorable and lucky enough for me, I do have opportunities working with designers engineers or people from different concentrations for the future, although urban sometimes may be read as the termination of future rather than the key; designing with future is my answer at least. Rightly because of the sense of history and responsibility, this workshop can be on the table, and as one of the originator for the workshop, I do not think it will work now, yet I do hope it can provide the members with an opportunity to discover a truth, that sustainability is not so far from us: designing with future will lead us to a sustainable future, with less slogan more visions to views.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN MANAGEMENT

DISCUSSION case study on Hafencity, Hamburg, German

Hebei

As the progression and enhancement for human utilizing technology, we will head forward in a sharper pace; and on the way forward, what we are facing with refers neither the Nazism in WWII, nor the conflicts of ideology in the period of cold war any longer, yet the way how we continue ourselves. Thus, sustainability are broadly accepted and accredited. However, in China, a giant themed on rapid growth, sustainability is often misread in a political context in the term of slogans.Such a word can be found in almost every single report of government, and no exceptions; meanwhile, nearly all the media are likely to emphasize this phrase also in a slogan way, most people are joking on this old newly coming concept, while designers and engineers are searching for it.

Chang He River is a silent stream in downtown Beijing, flooding from Yuquan Hill to the city canal. Yet because of the zoo and some urban sectors like exihibition hall, this river is isolated to the city and the people, which provide us with a potential opportunity to revitalize the lost waterfront area, to discover a solution to sustain the linear area, culturally, socially,and environmentally, giving it back to citizens to be an active public realm. Also, the opportunity is for the site itself to be a human and open urban place again.

EXHIBITION

Healthy ecosystems and environments provide vital goods and services to humans and other organisms. There are two major ways of reducing negative human impact and enhancing ecosystem services. The first is environmental management; . The second approach is management of human consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from economics.
