City Halo
Shenzhen Bay Supercity Competition | 2014 Shenzhen, China
Principal : Xu Chongyin Team: Kris Provoost, Denise Chan, Huiyang Peng concept, modelling, drawings, diagrams, boards
Shenzhen Bay Headquarters meant to be the focal point of the entire city, even country. The goal of this project was a place-making of super economic function with city new image. The combination of urban elements is the purpose of eco-green business and entrainment environment creation. Both sea and park around the site gives a clash concept to the spatial planning. ‘water ripple’ that is translated into the buildings master plan guide comes from the sea, while its extrusions as ‘bamboo’ metaphor was taken from the huge park on the north.
The main green axis that links the sea and park creates pocket of interests in order to give some theme experiences. These zones embrace various needs along the linear park. Three landmark highrise buildings are around the central square. We try to add the symbol of ‘halo’ into design. This ring is showing the glory of Shenzhen development. Later, the slashed part of buildings will be designed as public spaces or sky gardens.
As the most essential design part, the linear park embodiment goes through a multi-level floating garden greening concept. The roofs of experiential commercial part are designed for different functional activity park while the steps are for small flexible square.
As China’s youngest city of immigrants, with its the unique halo of charm, Shenzhen will quickly attracts people from all over the world. We’re trying to focus on the symbol of “Shenzhen halo” around the three skyscrapers, to sketch out distinctive silhouette of this metropolis, and to demonstrate precisely the reflection of all-embracing Shenzhen culture and the pulling power on the innovation.

The unique context given is that furniture, appliances + home accessories and fashion shops are relatively small, forgotten and located in different area. This raises the idea to bring them back and involve production activity as an attraction and part of shopping. Later, the courtyards behind the shop turn into a expansion space for workshop and production process, according to the shop type. By analysing an extension map (indoor that goes outdoor) and Nolli Map (outdoor that goes indoor) of the street, new ground floor space is created through combination and simplification of commercial and public program. This new map performs a more open, integrated, and flexible ground floor of the buildings and also projects store extensions to the street that is reformed as pavilions.

The shopping experience starts way before visitors enter the store, it all started even by the moment they step into the street. The street embodies the moment of “selling before selling”, the moment where new concept is accepted. The street is becoming part of the store, where it also takes part to sell products. The old estrangement metabolism model, where the consumer only know one or two process(es) in consumption, will be replaced by “knowledge” model, a new proposal to involve consumer in the making of the product they buy. This new triangulation is really depending on social actors in economical beneficial formation: the action and relation between people who live there, people who work there, people who owned the store, and people who visit. Together they build sustainable society, where economic development becomes a growth factor of the entire area.

The city, seen as multilayerd system, showcases the fragmentation within the same land use. The main points from urban morphology analysis is that Nijmegen city center has very important role in forming the entire city. It has a very high concentration level. Despite developed nodes at Radbound University and Dukenburg, the old city center is still the most essential part that accomodates commercial, recrational, and historical needs.

Positioning maps generate the strategic and tactical thinking of how the old city center and the river relate in forming the city entrance. Even more, how they become receptive and open to unforeseen phenomenon on the other side of the city.and also projects store extensions to the street that is reformed as pavilions. segmented built 1850-1960 ; 3-6 meters wide ; unique ; individual ; located at the center

There was no way to be seen that the growth went to north part after 2005. People tend to live almost 8 kilometers away from the center rather than move to Lent. This indicates the effect of river existence. Demographic study diagnoses that the river embodies a physical, social, and economical gap in the city. It plays as an absolute barrier and splits the city in rough way. Ironically, the concentration of old city center does not expanse to the waterfront. The river has built a speculative â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;backsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the city. City centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flow stops in certain moment where the commercial functions have ended too.

water intervention - build extension
At city scale, to alleviate the split, the proposal of water intervention that is integrated to entrance zones should re-link the entire city. The citical idea is to infill the water with program as part of city extension to the river. These programs become a tool to bridge city centre to the alienated north side. New built river on the north gives a bigger platform to demonstrates the infiltration proposal. This also implies different water intervention characteristic in the focus area. I devide the urban design into three parts: recreational and sport waterfront, pavilions waterfront, and floating market. The waters infiltration and transformation answers the calls from intangible spaces in the city.

Urban Disidentification Land of Opportunity Collaborative Workshop | 2013 Lower Manhattan, NYC Supervisor : R. Gruber, Widjaja Martokusumo Team : Maria Vania, Hadrian Tombak analysis, overall design step, content + ideas, diagrams, rendering
Listed are the ten largest U.S. cities by size in 1950, followed by five cities that will appear among top ten in 2000 but were much smaller in 1950. this chart tells us about how American cities redistributed population over the second half of the twentieth century. It also reveals that cities in general declined in size. It is true that New York City still on the top among others over 50 years, while some other cities are switching. But above all, the last column will give us new perspective, more than just a growing population. The last column on the right in the chart is Dissimilarity Index, a demographic measure of the evenness with which two groups are distributed across the component geographic areas that make up a larger area. In this calculation 0 represents complete racial integration, and 100 represents complete racial segregation. New York is complex, with multiracial inhabitants, more than only black and white racial lines. This social segregation also implies inequality of income and wealth.

To transform building into contemporary and socially sustainable part of urbanism, the new program â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residential has added as a blending tool. Short-stay living is a high needs, since New York City is the most international tourism recipient city in the world. Implication of program alteration in the building not only can be seen through its facade, but also building internal system that disalienating particular program. The relationship between the static and dynamic residential program creates a new building typology with no identity who inside it, or we call it Urban Disidentification. It began with the interpretation of existing condition, where the more triangulated groundfloor can be created through density rearrangement. Meanwhile, the existing view from other building also still maintained through massing transformation as ecological-friendly approach.

the podiumless bighead
The building form itself began with the interpretation of a local and worldwide current urban development, especially in New York, where towers with podium embody an invisible space in between. these spaces have a similar characteristic in form, which is a podiumless-bighead-tower, the reverse. With this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tetrisâ&#x20AC;? principal, future urban growth translated as an infill development, further application of lacking a space. A bigger, more integrated, and more continuous ground floor triangulate the shared resources at the bottom of the building, together with the existing park. Within Lower Manhattan, the 1 Bedroom houses for the rent have a slightly similar range around $100 per day whereas a hotel rate can be doubled. Meanwhile more hostels in northern part can be afforded only around $40 per night. This inequality plays out within the new building in order to create a collaborative way of living and sharing.

Sustainable building does not always mean LEED building with expensive green infrastructure, in this case, design constrains more focus into how to embrace and create a socially integrated living environment for any race in New York City. Sustainable movement between economy classes and intergenerational develops a greater fairness and oppportunity in society. It does not only stimulate horizontal social mobility, but also upward-downward shift. In the future, the building tend be called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;land of opportunityâ&#x20AC;?. Sustainable urbanism cannot mean green cities for the white wealthy. -Lizabeth Cohen

Artifacticity: Estrangement and Obsolescence in Architecture
The relationship between the historical building carcass and urban development is the defined by the degree of obsolescence: economic, programmatic, and physical. Outside central Shanghai, the alleyway houses outnumber the new high-rise condominiums because of rampant subdivision, they sell at 2/3 the cost and rent at 1.5 times that of the condos. In French Concession Puxi, where there are as many alleyway houses as condominiums, the condos fetch a higher selling price whereas rentals are identical. In the old city center, the scarcity of the alleyway houses, in comparison to the condominiums saw the monthly rentals at almost double the latter.
Obsolescence
Wulumuqi Apartment Predesign Research
Obviously, what is most scarce costs more what is more fascinating is the fact that scarcity can be artificially produced. This can be seen through the sections where programmatic obsolescence of the alleyway house is played out. The alleyway houses at Xintiandi underwent massive programmatic change. They are replicas, typological caricatures of a bygone domesticity. The degree of physical obsolescence is revealed in the strategies of addition and alteration as we conduct field work in the streets of Shanghai.
At Xintiandi, extreme addition translates to the addition of ornament + opening + skin + infill + volume. The building becomes a complete replica. As such, at Xintiandi, the single building unit is a composite of new elements and replication of the old ones. The alleyway compound is an agglomeration of re-composed buildings standing in for the old and the so-called authentic. At the district scale, its economic success cannot conceal the opportunistic seizing of obsolescencethe buildings and programs refer only to themselves within.
We take into account the accelerated obsolescence produced by this tourism mode of redevelopment pervading our cities. But self-awareness must enable critical positioning. Knowledge gained through the CARCASS research help us re-situate the problem, even if only for a moment.

Urban Explorations by 2 Architects
Explorations #donotsettle Action
A photographic & videographic research study captures this ever-changing megacity from a new angle. Rooftops have long been inaccessible and neglected usually only used as a place to store mechanical equipment, however these platform open up a new opportunity to study the rapid change happening in this world financial hub. The observations show the rich history of Shanghaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urbanism and reveals the unfair fight currently happening where Shanghaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage is losing against the overpowering pressure of the shiny skyscrapers.
We are 2 architects/designers/urban enthousiast that are attempting to change the way we see the city. Both originating from a totally different background (Indonesia and Belgium), this unique multicultural ensemble results in an original fresh set of eyes in which the city and its architecture are seen. The results is a visual archive capturing the moment before the change, because change is inevitable. The creation of identity, the search for recognition, the dynamics of a megacity and the human perception of all of this are topics covered in this extensive research. Research with aim to better understand the drivers that make Shanghai this unique place on earth.

#donotsettle Publication Cities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand still, they change overnight at high speed. The past months we have consolidated our explorations in book-form. This is our visual archive of how the city was at this moment, because we are not capable to hold the change. Instead we embrace the change and try to understand the facts. Combining 99 of our best photographs with our observations in architecture, this book is our representation of unsettledness, a new action concept in the city. Divided into 4 chapters, identification, recognition, transformation and perception, we talk about architecture, urbanism and the mind. This is how we feel living in worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populated city in the world.
