The impact of climate change is a concern for many people nowadays. In the case of global warming, it may lead to a rise in sea level, which may then flood the cities by the sea first. The aim of this project is to solve the problems caused by climate change in the seaside cities by providing a system of transport devices that will facilitate the residents and travellers of the area, while relieving them of the problems caused by rising sea levels.
[Historical development]
Early xiamen lateral bend is a crescent peninsula and the gulf, outside the bay has a long and narrow sandbar, reason has jade ShaPo beauty said, jade ShaPo descending and ShaPo two segments.
[Shorine cheange]
With global warming, the sea level will rise, which will inundate the land, and coastal cities will be greatly affected.
Xiamen is part of Fujian Province, located on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait, bordering Zhangzhou to the south and Quanzhou to the north, making it a typical coastal city. Sha Po Mei is located in the Siming District on the island of Xiamen and is bordered by the sea to the southwest.
[The main problems]
In 1730, xiamen military shipyard, workshops, in this article, the dawn road area after moved to ShaPo tail, give priority to in order to build ships.
According to published in 1946, the observatory in xiamen, xiamen shipbuilding industry thriving, according to the fishery activity focused on ShaPo tail area. Later, xiamen aquatic products shipyard was established at the original site of Shapo Tail shipyard.
As a commercial district with an artistic atmosphere, Sha Po Mei is a must-see for many visitors to Xiamen, so the parking area in the venue is now very large. It's
Xiamen ShaPo tail dock wind modification may be defined as "ShaPo tail sea port of cultural creativity." Plan it into a thriving cultural industry agglomeration area, make it from the edge of a city will soon be forgotten community transformed into a city in different populations can be in the club of the new community.
Shapowei is now a collection of sculpture, pottery, printmaking, costume design, handmade woodwork, animation, music, paper art, video and other artistic elements, in the form of studio free open to the public, people here to enjoy afternoon tea and belong to the old taste of Xiamen.
Apart from its artistic ambience, Sha Po Mei has a unique Xiamen cavalcade style of architecture, with the original residents living above and commercial shops below. There is clearly not enough living space for the residents and the streets are somewhat chaotic with clothes drying and piles of debris.
Because the road is so narrow, when there is a lot of foot traffic in Sha Po Mei, there will be pedestrians walking onto the road will cause a blockage of cars.
The first functional zone is located in the northwest part of the site. The current situation of the site is that there is a large parking area and the site is still under construction.
The second functional zone is located in the northeast part of the site. Basically, there are arcade buildings unique to Xiamen. Local people live here and many art shops choose to set up shop here.
The third functional zone is located in the southeast part of the site. There are lots of parking lots and art fairs where college students set up stalls and sell handmade art because it's so close to the university campus.
The route of the vehicle is basically on the outside of the site, and there are three entrances to enter the site and park.
Electric vehicles can basically travel anywhere in the venue, and overlap with the routes of people and cars.
There are a total of three large parking lots inside the venue, all of which cover a large area for the current tourists to park.
The site lacks a large public space for activities and at the same time can provide quality and affordable living conditions for the students who come to start their own business, thus better developing the area. Retaining the existing unique cavalcade architecture of Xiamen and providing the original residents with more sanctuary through the installation.
[Major functional area]
This is a viewing platform at the top, and people can choose to take the elevator to the top to enjoy the sea view.
This part is the final assembly of the device.
This part is the final assembly of the items needed in the installation and transported to the upper level. At the same time, the column from bottom to top in the middle of the installation is a sightseeing elevator, and people can take the elevator to this floor to take the cable car.
This widget is divided into four parts: residence, leisure, entertainment and public services, and the required combination of parts is transferred to the corresponding box for further assembly.
This small part assembles parts and transports the assembled parts to the four sorting boxes on the upper floor.
2. Retain the original building and the nature of use, so that the original residents can continue to live here, and install devices to improve the quality of life of the residents.
1. Park—Utilize the original parking lot to provide residents and tourists with a place for activities and recreation.
This widget is used to collect and store parts, to sort parts.
This is a retractable base. When the first-level tower is on the sea, the sea level change can lower or raise the tower in time.

Distribution location of primary and secondary towers
The main function of the secondary tower is to update the old devices. If the internal function needs to be replaced, it can send a signal to the primary tower and receive it back to the primary tower to rebuild.
3. Student living place - This area is close to the university campus. The parking lot and open space in the site are used to provide preferential and convenient living places for college students who want to start a business.
This disc can be lifted up and down, and old devices can be collected for updating. If the function inside the device needs to be replaced.
The conveyor belt can be rotated 360 degrees. This conveyor belt is mainly responsible for the delivery of the device.
This conveyor belt is mainly responsible for the parking of cars.
This is the location and transmission route of the first-level tower, which can transport people as well as cars. Each tower can be transported to each other.
The conveyor belt on the left is mainly by means of cable cars, transporting people.
This is the location of the two-stage tower, which is mainly responsible for receiving devices that need to be updated.

The gradual deterioration of the environment is having an increasing impact on our lives, and this is due in large part to the way people are living now. The aim of this project is to balance and improve the entire ecosystem while protecting the eels. The whole system will work to bring about a better environment and a better life for the local community.
# EELS ARE ENDANGERED
Throughout eastern Asia, eel larvae (glass eels) are intensively captured for use in aquaculture. The cost of artificial incubation and nurture is high, and a commercially viable system has yet to be developed.Consequently, the supply of eels for aquaculture for food depends entirely on the harvesting of wild-born stock.
# ARTIFICIALLY FARMED EELS
#BLACK-MARKET RAMPANT
Young eels, called glass eels, are caught in the wild. And to breed eels entirely in captivity is very costly . No farm can effectively breed eels in captivity. Farmers therefore rely on the capture of young eels to make a profit.
MAIN REASONS
CLIMATE CHANGE
HYDROPOWER TURBINES AND PUMPING STATIONS
CHEMICAL POLLUTION
ILLEGAL FISHING AND EXPORTING

WILL EELS STILL BE ON THE TABLE IN JAPAN?
Freshwater eels are being overfished to the point of pushin their populations to the brink of collapse. well known that the Japanese love eel, what would happen if eel disappeared one day?
JAPANESE EELS STEADILY DECLINING
ANNUAL EEL CATCHES (IN TONNES) IN JAPAN (YELLOW) TAIWAN (PURPLE COLOUR)
Amid international alarm over the decline in wild eel stocks, regulation of the Japanese eel industry is failing spectacularly, with poached or unreported “glass eels” accounting for some 40% of the domes-
tic catch.
Eel farmers difficult to stay in business with market prices. Considering the high prices and low availability of the eels, more specialty “kabayaki”
WHY ARE EELS IMPORTANT ?
Eels are a critical food source for many birds, mammals, and large fish
Eels are a top predator in many river or ecosystemsstream

This is the most expensive fish in Japan. In January 2018, a kilogram of these baby eels cost around $35,000, almost as much as the price of gold at the time.
Eels help to maintain bi - omass and are important in preserving a balanced ecology, as they are in - volved in a number of aquatic interactions.

This is mainly a market for eels and a restaurant, with storage for habitat production above.Here one can buy eels at reasonable and legal prices, and the market here provides a formal outlet for fishermen to sell them.
FEEDING
The method we use is a mineral enrichment device or an electrified artificial reef device, or electrified artificial reef (traditionally known as a Biorock). This creates a process with the water known as electrolysis, which provides cathodic protection for the structure from rust or corrosion and further causes minerals in the seawater to precipitate out and collect on the metal. This action creates a favourable environment for the growth of corals and other calcium carbonate-secreting organisms. The growth of calcium carbonate-secreting organisms creates a favourable environment and these organisms tend to grow on these structures grow much faster (up to 3-5 times faster).

03 Double considerations
Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China 2022.09-2022.11
individual work
With increasing population density, how do we solve the problems posed by the old houses left behind. When the new crown epidemic arrives in 2019, the more communal as well as denser urban villages will bring more adverse effects. The aim of this project is to improve life in urban villages during normal times as well as during epidemics.
But with that, we become surrounded by more and more people
There are also more and more people who want to come and live in the city and have a better quality of life
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
SHEN ZHEN
Nowadays, cities are growing rapidly and many high-rise buildings are being built rapidly for people to use
But since the epidemic swept the world, the high density of cities seems to have affected people's lives
Our houses here are very cheap and must be affordable for working people who are just working.
But the toilets and the kitchen are all communal.
CITIES
There is an urban encirclement of the countryside, where former houses are difficult to demolish and new high-rise buildings are rapidly being built.
Shenzhen is located in Guangdong Province, China, which is the fastest growing city in China since the reform and opening up. The city also has a small land area, so the choice of venue was locked in Shenzhen.
Public toilets and kitchens must no longer be used as they increase the risk of infection.
ISSUES ARISING
Because the buildings are so close to each other, the air does not circulate well, increasing the risk of infection
Because when the epidemic is closed at home, there are not enough safe public spaces in the neighbourhood to move around and use. It is also more difficult to deliver the necessities of daily life to your home.
Until 2019, urban density does not seem to have too bad an impact on people's daily lives
The approval of Shenzhen as a special economic zone in 1980 was the first to implement reform and opening up, the most influential and best built special economic zone in China.
ISSUES ARISING
The 53-storey Shenzhen World Trade Center, the tallest building in China at the time, was completed in 1985, creating the "Shenzhen speed" of building a floor in three days and becoming a symbol of the rapid economic development of the Shenzhen SAR.
In just 40 years, Shenzhen has developed from a small frontier city into a modern cosmopolitan city with a GDP second only to Beijing and Shanghai. However, the small size of Shenzhen's land and the rapid pace of development have also resulted in a tight supply of land.
Because of the rapid urban development and demand, many of the original villages have not been able to keep up with the development of the city, leading to the emergence of URBAN VILLAGES. Many problems have also been exposed.
SUMMARY: The environment and infrastructure in urban villages is generally poor and the building density is high, resulting in poor lighting and ventilation in the houses. At the same time, there is less public space in the whole urban village, which makes it difficult to meet people's daily activities

Site interior analysis
Blue is the part of the urban village where these buildings are also known as pull-out buildings because of the close spacing between them.
Most of the people living here are commuters.
This is an area of villas, where the first villagers lived in the area. It is relatively spacious and is now largely inhabited by landlords from the blue area.
Status of residential buildings
It is probably inhabited by landlords from the blue area, a large proportion of whom were original villagers in the earliest days.
Design strategy
This site is currently a vacant lot and is still under construction.
It is also home to a number of companies and shops.
These lower buildings in the surrounding area are a number of companies and industrial parks.
Parking analysis
Traffic analysis
Add breezeways between each of the pullout buildings.
The whole space is somewhat cramped because of the narrow alleyways in the residential area. So create primary and secondary roads.
Status of Traffic and Parking
The sterile passageway has a helicopter lift to reach each floor. Allow for some connection between streets.
The current state of the site is very confusing in terms of parking, basically there are cars parked wherever there is open space and it is clear that the open space as well as parking issues are not well planned.
Open space analysis
The site is currently confusing and does not have a complete transport system. The roads out and in are also not well differentiated.
Surrounding Facilities
Traffic chaos as people and vehicles mix Cars are parked indiscriminately and more open spaces are used as car parks.
Design strategy
This open space is relatively large and is currently in a state of pending construction. It is immediately adjacent to an existing green space that now exists.
There are many factories and companies in the vicinity, as well as a number of other amenity shops, such as restaurants and supermarkets. There are also many shops along the street, and the surrounding area is well equipped.
Consolidation of parking on the site and prohibition of vehicle parking in the open space. Retain three car parking spaces.
1. The distance between residential buildings is too close to each other, resulting in poor lighting and ventilation.
2. The living environment is less hygienic and prone to bacteria.
3. It is more difficult to transport supplies in the event of an epidemic.
The creation of sterile passageways, with lifts to each floor. Not only does it help with ventilation, but it also enables the use of conveyor belts to transport sterile materials.
The use of a first floor indent to widen the width of the main road also brings some convenience to people in their daily lives.
People would actually like to have more activities in the available open space
Separate human and car traffic, with cars going directly into the parking building. Temporary access to the pavement can be requested in advance in exceptional circumstances. Leave the middle of the road open to car traffic and the pedestrian access on both sides can continue to be used.
Use of rectangular open space
The largest open spaces are used wisely first.
Get a well-regulated site
The entire open space is regularly divided into squares
The field is then divided by a square of 10 by 10
Dividing a regular rectangle
Seventy
More combinations of squares for larger activities such as football
Use of VR technology
For rectangular open spaces we chose to use VR technology
One 10 ×10
One square can be used for one or two people for exercise or activity
10 x 10
Two squares for exercise and activities such as table tennis
A wider choice of sport types is possible
When the epidemic appears
In the event of a serious epidemic in the area, the vacant land could also be used to build a hospital in a square cabin.
Four squares for badminton or other more family activities
STEP 2：
Six squares for multi-player exercise and activities such as basketball
Design of the applications
2.In order to make better use of our site for the residents here, we have chosen to make better use of the open space with an app
Use of open space
1.Classify the open spaces on the site, mainly into smaller, finer open spaces and those with larger open spaces
Use of Smaller open space
9.60M
This is the smaller size of the smaller open spaces
1. The shape of the body
This is the largest scale of the smaller open spaces
3. Each floor can provide different facility requirements, all facilities are stored in folded compartments on each floor
2. Divide it into many layers

3.This module is formed by combining 4 small squares
4.Can be rotated out for individual use
5.Can be used separately during an epidemic
6.Can also be put together Use
Select your site
The service centre uses a simple container approach to achieve a simple as well as a full-service venue.
5.Two squares can be used together, or the two squares can be used separately for different activities
STEP 4 ：
4.Putting squares together by rotating and moving them when needed
6.It can be used separately in case of an epidemic and can also have a protective cover to act as a safety guard
Design of fixed areas and original green spaces
The inhabitants here are basically not from here, so they treat the people and things here as strangers
Hopefully there is somewhere here where they can interact more, find their like-minded friends and make themselves less lonely in this city.
Not only will the service be provided, but also the tables and chairs. It is a place to rest after a workout, and it also gives more people a place to make friends and talk.
There is room for more types of activities, with the option of a greener site. Open spaces are also available for activities.

There are more and more cases of juvenile delinquency nowadays, and many young people have psychological distortions that cause them to commit crimes due to many reasons in their families and society. The aim of this project is to help those young people who have committed a crime to be able to heal and learn more skills so that they do not become disconnected from society.
