Strategy for Human Interaction in Urbanism How can I use patterns as mechanism to generate a complex landscape system for sustainability of human interaction in urban redevelopment? The research is concerned about relationship between patterning, human interaction and urban redevelopment in old residential area. Intension is to research a landscape system based on mechanism of different natural patterns to conduct landscape design in these city spaces for integration with human interaction (neighborhood) and urban redevelopment. In project A, I explore for a strategy to integrate human interaction with social economic redevelopment, between which clash is made in Urbanism, especially in China. Chinese city towns are undertaking economic redevelopment by governments and the lost of neighborhood is a result after the projects. My project is one of these redevelopments in Guangzhou, China. My intention is to research a landscape system for circulation space in new design instead of government plan, which can maintain quality of KXPDQ LQWHUDFWLRQ DQG IXO¿OO WKH GHPDQGV RI VRFLDO and economic redevelopment. In this system, patterns are mechanisms to conduct generation of spatial morphology and programmatic arrangement in order to affect human interaction (of human behavior) according to social psychology (social theatre). In the design, I analyzed the site integrated with different mechanisms RI SDWWHUQV WR JHQHUDWH VSDWLDO FRQ¿JXUDWLRQV ZKLFK DV a result, produced different types of social theatres to affect human interaction. But the exploration of spatial design is not enough and not all the mechanisms of patterns were clear, therefore, some spatial properties were not considered, as a result, how social theatre works in these mechanisms of spatial design was unclear. Secondly, interaction and integration between different patterns to create a larger and more complex system are not clear enough. That is to say there are still potentials to explore the systems in order to make the mechanism of these patterns more reusable on human interaction in any urban redevelopment. Based on previous spatial design in project A , intention of project B is to improve understand of patterns DV GHVLJQ SURWRW\SH WR UH¿QH GHWDLO GHVLJQ RQ WKH spatial qualities such as Pavement, Programs and Infrastructures, Terrain Design, road system and look at how different patterns exert in these properties and how these patterns interact to create an active complex system in spatial–chronological process, in order insert social theatres for human interaction in urban landscape and eliminate stereotype in government plan such as physical separation( fence and inaccessible huge green ¿HOG ULJLG SURJUDP GLVWULEXWLRQ DQG LQWHJUDWLQJ ZLWK social economic redevelopment.

We become to have nothing to say with or take care about others, except for talking about projects, works and assignments. These burdens of life push us forward without having time to think what we really lose, the chance for communication. Nowadays, as the pursuit of high-income and high-density buildings in modern metropolitans, many cities and urban still suffer from the lost of neighborhood due to the international standardization design as WRZHUV WUDIÂżF WUDFNV LQDFFHVVLEOH JUHHQ ÂżHOGV DQG ZDOOV RI KXJH UHVLGHQWLDO GLVWULFWV These rigid and grim components are built in every urban as a sign of urban redevelopment. They stand for modernization and internationalization image of urbanism, at the same time; they provoke many social problems in the history and presence. Separation of community interaction is a protruding one of the problems, which also indicates the difference between urban and old town. Lack of community interaction can produce poor sense of neighborhood, which means people become harden and uneasy to talk, know, consider and communicate with each other. As a result, human in society are divided into different groups, each of which is indifferent with others. People in the same group are due to they have similar interest. They only talk
to someone in-group and neglect other out-group. They talk because they have to. They talk to their clients, talk about the project with colleagues, talk about the price and business on the telephone and teachers talk with student on class. They behave together because they have to. They stop at the same station because they wait for the same train for work, slot in a small room of elevator without talk with each other.

People there become all in group. (Figure 2)They talk about trivia things of what they see and hear; in shops, customers are familiar with the shop runners; in particular dates, they cook and eat together on open-air space; they have their own temple to serve for their particular evens and daily activities. They do because they want to. This is freedom which the circulation system in old towns gives back WR XVHUV XQOLNH WKH PRGHUQ RQH FRQ¿QLQJ LQWHUDFWLRQ KRZHYHU LW ODFNV RI HI¿FLHQF\ Arrangement of buildings and programs creates particular patterns such as morphology of circulation system and human behaviors. Behaviors and circulation systems are relevant, while they interact through particular mechanism/rules. These mechanism and rules are what this essay means about patterns. To sum, patterns are the containers of behavior, which indicate physical and programmatic arrangements as well as human behavior. Physical and program arrangement in circulation system create physical patterns, while human behaviors are perceptional patterns which react to the former. This interaction obeys to the rule, mechanism pattern. Grids are the important patterns in modern urban, while many nature patterns present in spatial composition in old towns or old residential areas. The dynamics and image of urban landscape is derived from behaviors, which change with time and space.

Preface From Behavior To Pattern ,Q ÂżUVW \HDU RI P\ PDVWHU SURJUDP LQ 50,7 there are 2 studios I have experienced, which talk about dynamic models and its translation into actual landscape system. These studios reveal an innovative way to think about landscape design. Dynamic model is an abstract and chronologically variable system, which is composed with components and rules. The iconic property RI WKHVH PRGHOV LV WKHLU VSHFLÂżF EHKDYLRXUV which is the result of interaction between a Behaviour components following rules. In the studios, it is required to compose a dynamic model(Figure 3b, Figure 4b) by oneself and use it as prototype to recreate a landscape system for a particular site( Figure 3c, Figure 4c) as a result, the outcome of design have a similar behaviour (Figure 3a, Figure 4a) as the model does. This progress of design inspired me to think about the ambiguous archetypes of different behaviour systems. These archetypes indicate rules or principles about how components are b Dynamic Model arranged and joint to create a complex system and how behaviours inside the system change along with space and time.

A series of local interactions between different boids (Figure 5a)in the system become basic relationships to compose complicated behaviours of the system (Figure 5 c,e,g). Mechanisms exists in spatial-chronological progress of this behaviour system, which present as patterns (Figure 5 b,d,f) to indicate the rules and principles about how these local interaction join together. In this case, patterns here are not only physical structures but also abstract prototypes as dynamic models. Patterns (Figure 6b,d) UHÀHFW KRZ D FRPSOH[ EHKDYLRXU V\VWHP works. If a city is one behaviour system, its layout and performance of landscape (Figure 6 e,f) represent patterns as well.

That is to say, the quality of a natural town represented in particular patterns which pose relevant behaviour and interaction between domestic people. These behaviours act as icon of a site.

Behaviour System Landscape Behaiour System Landscape is a behaviour system which has different components and is conducted by patterns (prototype, mechanism). Components include particles and objects. Particles are dynamics in the system, while arrangement of objects is the framework of the system. This framework includes spatial morphology and programmatic arrangement and is created according to particular mechanism as prototype. This prototype is presented as a pattern. Thus, the framework is a physical form of pattern which I name it physical pattern. It is physical behaviour of the system. As a result, particles moving inside have particular behaviours as reaction to it, and result in different behaviours/activities/motions which affect spatial perception. Thus a simple system is made. Two (or more) simple systems act as two (or more) new components which interact in accordance with another pattern. As a result, a complex system is made, which is a consequence of a chronological or spatial process which I mean “slow�.

Perception patterns/Particle Behaviour and Spatial Perception Perception patterns refer to particle behaviour and spatial perception. Particle behaviour: This refers to movement and interaction of particles which react to physical patterns in the enviroment. Spatial Perception: Spatial perception refers to how space is perceived, such as being compressed, relax, formal, informal, interactive, oppressive, according to particle behaviour.

1. Particles Elements moving in a system, such as water, wind, animals and human. These are dynamics of a system. (Note: Simple system itself can be seen as a particle or a group of particle, in this case, interaction between such systems is local interaction too.)
2. Objects ( in Physical Pattern) Stable elements affect movement or interaction of particles, such as elements in topography, trees, buildings, landform, programs... Thus, Objects are material in spatial morphology or program in programmatic arrangement. (Note: Sometimes, particles can be objects, when we research how animals’ behaviours affect human behaviours. Here Animals are objects and their arrangement affects human behaviours. Human is particles.)

What are patterns? Patterns are prototypes of landscape. La Vallee (Figure 7), the Garden in Movement, by Gilles Clement reveals a behaviours and interaction of elements in untended territory. The elements in the garden intertwine with each other. 6RPH RI WKHP EHQHÂżW RWKHUV RU VXSSUHVV (Figure 7a,b,c) This reciprocity contributes to variation of landscape, a richness of the garden performance(Figure 7d,e,f). A designer’s role in the garden is an observer and yardman who does as less intervention as possible to the site. They have “A User’s Manualâ€?

Patterns are dynamic geometrical principles of system behaviours In Aldo Rossi’s Analogy City, designing city is a compositional process to construct a new urban reality, through approaching it with the prototypes from people’s collective memory of architecture of the place, instead of a rational single thought.[2] Collective memories are comprehensive experience sharing the same cultural base.People’s unconscious accumulation of collective h memories generates prototypes. These Figure 7 prototypes are what Aldo Rossi talked La Vallee, the Garden in Movement, by Gilles Clement DERXW ÂłW\SH´ Âł, ZRXOG GHÂżQH WKH FRQFHSW of type as something that is permanent and complex, a logical principle that is prior to form and that constitutes it.â€?[3] In his statement, “permanent and complexâ€? means that prototype is, as Quatremere de [2]: Quoted from a wed site http://www.atributosurbanos.es/en/terms/analogue-city Quincy and Durand said,primitive geometry; [3]: C, McEwan, The Fragment as a Category of Critique, Forgetting Fundamentals
a and functional elementsâ€? of architecture through reference to “history as well as memoryâ€?.(Figure 8,b) As Hee Won said, Rossi transforms these prototypes into “new design vocabulariesâ€?(Figure 8,c) in accordance with the sites and programs. The evolution from these vocabularies to a real design is conducted by several algorithms such as “transformation and FRPELQDWLRQ´ )LJXUH G ÂżQDOO\ YDULRXV W\SHV RI architectures is created.[4] (Figure 8,e) My opinion about Rossi’s prototype is a little different from that of Hee Won. Firstly, Hee Won asserts prototypes are original forms and primitive shapes extracted from people’s collective memory and history, which are relevant to structure and function of architecture and these prototypes are transformed into initial vocabularies (a tower) in different sites and programs. Vocabularies are, as Rossi said, “complexâ€? conditions evolved from prototypes and they are subprototypes. This is what I admit. But, secondly, he said through rules/algorithms of transformation and combination (here “transformationâ€? means change on scale, proportion and texture of the geometry and “combinationâ€? refers to addition, subtraction and replacement), the initial vocabularies are transformed LQWR GLIIHUHQW ÂżQDO YRFDEXODULHV ÂżJXUH G DQG WKHQ completed works of architecture (different towers in different scale, texture and proportion). A type LV D WRWDO UHVXOW RI WKHVH ÂżQDO YRFDEXODULHV +HUH prototypes are some primitive geometry changed in design development according to rules and he seems to distinguish rules/principles from prototypes. The statement “type is something that is permanent and complex, a logical principle‌â€? by Rossi lets me think that these primitive geometry (prototype) and logical principle should be superimposed into a fusion. This essay asserts that, as a fusion, a prototype is also a rule.Therefore, a prototype is a pattern instead of simply geometry.In Simon Bell’s book “Landscape: pattern, perception and processâ€?, a pattern shows“a standard way of moving or actingâ€? which is a constant principle of behaviours in a process and can be dynamic to respond to “physical forces, the environment, social structures or economic imperativesâ€?, while a geometry is only a static object. Moreover, a pattern is “an arrangement of repeated or corresponding partsâ€? in a process, as a result, it is constant and the order inside the process is selfevident; in history, patterns as “plansâ€? for human to
they are “prior to formâ€?, prototypes are “logic principlesâ€? constituted through, as McEwan C said, reading of history/collective memory. Thus, these principles link forms with human’s spatial perceptions, as Rossi said, â€œâ€Śwhile I may talk about a school, a cemetery, a theatre, it is more correct to say that I talk about life, death, and imagination.â€? Therefore, prototypes are a VHULHV RI SULQFLSOHV RQ SK\VLFDO FRQÂżJXUDWLRQ LQWHJUDWLQJ conceptual and material.(Figure 8, a) But what do these prototypes look like? According to what Hee Won Lee said in his essay, prototypes are “pure, primitive forms, such as cube, cone, cylinder, and pyramidâ€? and these shapes are relevant to “structural

make architecture and landscape in space and time, while a single shape of geometry does not contain any indication of the regulation in spatial and chronological relation.[5] Finally, a pattern makes the relation between prototype and its vocabularies PRUH FRKHUHQW DQG XQLÂżHG ZKLOH JHRPHWULHV DUH separated. A prototype as a pattern should not be static; conversely, it revealsa basic relation of a movement so that it can be the principle and prior to forms. It reveals a process rather than separate moments. To sum, a pattern is a prototype which is a geometrical principle of behaviours on components (objects/spatial materials and particles/users) (Figure 9,a & b)of a landscape system or architecture and, like different dynamic models, it can dynamically change to respond to the environment maintaining the same characters/behaviours. In its evolution, different vocabularies are sub-prototypes as homological conditions for the changing needs and programs and share similar behaviours(Figure 9,b). A type is the total result of vocabularies from a pattern. Behaviours are a series of consecutive motions or actions made by components as physcial entities, systems and users like people in response to environment, other systems and users. Behaviour of a system is the total result of interaction of these DFWLRQV 7KHVH DFWLRQV UHIHU WR ÂżUVWO\ SURJUDPPDWLF DUUDQJHPHQW DQG VSDWLDO FRQÂżJXUDWLRQ LQ VLWH ZKLFK reveal how environmental materials and systems act in such a circumstance; secondly, user’s actions in response to the space and their interactions between each other, which indicate people’s reactions.

Why we use patterns? 1.Finding patterns is nature of human perception of environment. The patterns from Clement’s manual suggest a balance between diversity and simplicity. Diversity means many possibilities of interaction between different elements in landscape design. Thus diversity is also complexity.Simplicity refers to a way that we streamline redundant information to describe the mechanism of these interactions. Euclidian geometry is an example. “It is true that Euclidian and Cartesian JHRPHWULHV DUH VLPSOL¿FDWLRQV FUHDWHG E\ WKH KXPDQ mind to deal with complex patterns in the absence of mathematical tools.... This is the traditional way of describing or reducing the world about us into its (Euclidian geometry’s) constituent parts... Until now almost all designed human constructions and planned changes to the landscape have been based on Euclidian geometry.”[6] It is human nature that we tend to produce simpler, abstract and bigger pictures/patterns before developing into complex one in the progress of perception of environment. (Figure 10) This is how we learn about composition of a complex system, which inspire us to think about the methodology of designing a landscape system.

The reason for this misunderstanding to David Marr’s theories of visual perception. lies in the assumption that simple causes lead to Components simple effects and conversely, that complicated, multivariate causes produce complex effects. Now Local Interaction we know that simple cause can produce complicated effects, processes and patterns.

Paradoxically, these patterns are the large Behaviour 1 Behaviour 2 VFDOH VLPSOL¿FDWLRQV WKDW HPHUJH IURP WKH FRPSOH[ interaction of large numbers of different cause or A Simple System 1 A Simple System 2 elements.”[6] Thus, the process of design is a procedure from simplicity to diversity/complexity. As Local Interaction 2 landscape is a complex system with complicated behaviours, it consists of a large number of A Single Pattern 3 simple local interactions(which means “simple causes” above). These interactions produce Behaviour 3 irregular variations. However, all of them integrate into a series of similar mechanisms at the larger scale. “The climatic conditions producing rain can Complex Landscape System vary enormously, along with the vegetation growing Figure 11 on the landscape producing evapotranspiration. Diagram of landscape system structure( Each simple system has not less The numbers of interactions of all these possible than 2 elements and this diagram shows a basic situation.

produces a pattern that is remarkably similar to all other drainage systems. In chaos theory, the gradual coalescence of a number of different patterns into a single pattern caused by changes to the initial conditions is said to be caused by a strange attractor.â€?[6] “Different patternsâ€? of variation could be understood as local interactions between different elements. A “single patternâ€? is a prototype or mechanism to arrange or manipulate these elements in a simple landscape system. In the research, pattern means this “single patternâ€? , prototype and mechanism. The interactions among a number of these “single patternâ€? (prototypes) result in a complex system of landscape. (Figure 11) 7R ÂżQG RXW WKHVH SDWWHUQV is to acquire codes of a complex system which landscape architecture design is. 3.A pattern is a way to make design repeatable In Glanville’s “Researching Design and Designing Researchâ€?, pattern seeking is to simplify logics by “making objects constantâ€? from complexity. 7KURXJK VLPSOLÂżFDWLRQ ZH RPLW WKH UHGXQGDQW DQG remain similarities in different objects and systems to recognize them in a handleable “continuumâ€? of experience from an elusive reality.[7] Pattern is this continuum of experience which is coherent and convenient enough to give us “objects and recognizable behaviours, allowing us to predict, and risk living by our predictionsâ€?. In this case, simplicity, similarities and predictability of a pattern can make a design methodology repeatable, coherent and consistent in different sites and programs.

For these animals, coordinating their movements with one another can be a matter of life or death.â€? Furthermore, Google “uses the collective intelligence of the Web to determine a page’s importance.â€? [8]This kind of system can be found in some city town and old residential areas in cities, where people make their lives in their own way, as a result, a special ÂżHOG FRQGLWLRQ LV FUHDWHG DQG EDODQFH EHWZHHQ function and community interaction is revealed. In comparison, urban redevelopment in some Asian countries is rigid and less effective, because these projects destroy the local system and replace with a single plan for economic pursuit without consideration domestic way of life. As a result, the collective intelligence is inhibited and lost. Without integration with originally existing routines, in the new design SODQ LPDJH RI SODFH EHFRPHV XQLGHQWLÂżDEOH IXQFWLRQ zoning loses animation and local community lacks of vitality and sense of belonging. A dynamic pattern is a principle of these collective behaviours and routines, hence, in which the logic of collective intelligence is HPEHGGHG $V SDWWHUQV DUH UHSHDWDEOH DQG VLPSOLÂżHG it can be used in arrangement and prediction of designing a new system in order to integrate these existing intelligences with new demands in urban redevelopment.
4.A pattern is a collectively intelligent way to conduct a system. A pattern contains collective intelligence from a number of users in a site, which implies a better arrangement of a system. As it is mentioned before, behaviours are the carrier of user’s collective memories/history in physical environment. These collective memories contain heaps of methods, ideologies and insight of how people live and react to a particular circumstance. These collective intelligences are generated in the process from individual behaviours (local interaction) between different users and environment, accumulating into a collective phenomenon, a way of life in a site. In WKLV SURFHVV WKHUH LV QRW D XQLÂżHG LGHRORJ\ WR FRQÂżQH each one’s behaviour; therefore, these daily routines or behaviours in particular environmental condition is a decentralized system. As what Peter Miller says in his composition “The Genius of Swarmsâ€?, this system is brilliant, because “crowds tend to be wise only if individual members act responsibly and make their own decisions.

As the statement written by James Corner on his “Taking Measure across the America Landscape” (1996), development of humanity LV LQHYLWDEO\ FRQ¿QHG E\ WKHLU ³DWWDFKPHQW´ however, people still pursuit their utopias to control environment or even everything. Attachment is elements in places where we live including natural environment and people in community. Utopia is a particular pattern/ design strategy to control every components of the attachment. Nevertheless, there is not a single pattern competent to cover all of the aspects aforementioned. Conversely, a ÀH[LEOH V\VWHP VKRXOG EH D FRPSOH[ V\VWHP conducted by different single patterns from diverse local interactions. (Figure 11) The survey landscape in America (Figure 12) is made of grids with particular size. Sections as unit in this mechanism are subdivided into different dimension such as half sections, quarter sections, half-quarter sections in order to provide more people with chances to purchase land. It represents the need of equalization in America. [9] However, local variations on topography, arable land, water,local climate and soil are neglected and poses many problems and clash. These local and regional variations are local interactions in this grid system. People cannot purchase lands in a real equal condition, due to the grids fails to produce equalization on local quality.This example gives an inspiration to this research: progress of landscape system generation is a bottom-up process from local interaction instead of a topdown one by designer’s imagination. Landscape design is a synthetic result made of a number of patterns instead of only one. These patterns should come from local interactions.

2.A pattern only can be found in a completed system integrated with users’ behaviours/ perception patterns and VSDWLDO FRQÂżJXUDWLRQV SK\VLFDO SDWWHUQV In Aldo Rossi’s practices on architecture typology, (Figure 13,a) prototypes are some principle of form generation (Figure 13,b) which is a synthetic aggregation of people’s historical memory on architecture in a particular place, which is a typical ideology of neo-rationalism. However, there are still some critics from opponents against its formalism. Prototypes ought to be rules of behaviours in a completed system, which includes spatial and programmatic arrangement, morphology (Figure 13,e) as well as users’ interaction(Figure 13,g) in the site. The interactions of these spatial FRQÂżJXUDWLRQ DQG XVHUÂśV PRYHPHQW DUH behaviours in a system and result from a primitive pattern as a prototype(Figure 13,d). Aldo Rossi’s idea is about rules of constitution of physical patterns and how WKHVH JHRPHWULHV UHĂ€HFW D VXSHULPSRVLWLRQ of people’s collective impressions on architecture. Nevertheless, his thought neglects perception pattern which is the behaviours of people living in this condition and their interactions after the erection of WKLV VSDWLDO FRQÂżJXUDWLRQ 7KXV KLV LGHD LV on-sided. His prototypes are not completed patterns, as a result, there is not a whole system made in the design, instead, it just a part. Eventually, it is undeniable that a pattern is a principle of behaviours from an entire system.

3.Patterns from Nature as Design Prototype Natural patterns discovered by Peter Stevens[11] such as spiral, meandering, branching, explosion, packing or cracking (I name it “patchingâ€?), are suitable prototypes to explore in this essay, because they are major patterns in most of the nature phenomence. Presented in Euclidian geometry, they result from numerous local interactions between elements in natural phenomena such as ZDWHU G\QDPLFV SODQWV IRUHVW ÂżUH PXG cooling lava and solid rock. (Figure 14) There is similarity between human patterns and natural patterns These patterns are prototypes of natural systems. As what Stevens said, “The range of various possibilities of patterns is imitated by the restriction of spatial dimension in the world and the degree of similarity is greater than that of difference in the same treeâ€?. As the same tree here refers to the same origin, alternatively, we can consider that there is similarity between human and nature patterns more than difference, due to they has a same origin, the world. As one kind of human patterns, Euclidian geometry which people simplify from natural complexity is used as guidance in most human design including landscape design. (Figure 15) That is to say, it is feasible to design landscape by using nature patterns as design prototypes after learning their similarity to human patterns(Euclidian geometry). Thus, Stevens summarizing natural patterns into Euclidian geometry reveal these similarities and can be suitable prototypes for this research to design a complex landscape system.

Slow refers to process and transition during and after design. “Slow” in this essay means transformation process and transition of a design exerting on user’s behaviours spatially and chronologically. Design is not just a static point to hypothesize an ideal condition in a site. It refers to the whole evolution of interaction between users and the space from the very beginning when a physical FRQ¿JXUDWLRQ LV PDGH WR WKH DIWHUZDUGV FDULQJ about how people get along with the

landscape system to a new one. As he says, this “evolved” refers to people’s “engagement” in the variation of landscape, “contemporary, everyday modes of experiencing the land”. This “engagement” is perception pattern, user’s interaction in site and their reaction to surrounding forms and programs. Landscape transformation arises from this reciprocity between perception pattern and physical pattern. A rule of the UHFLSURFLW\ LQ D FRQ¿UP SODFH DQG WLPH reveals a particular pattern. In a process of

site. When something moves slowly, we can see the process of movement. However, the situation is too fast in Chinese urban redevelopment. Many projects take place in a short time, as a result, functions and programs are inelastic and the process lacks of a transition for domestic people to get in habit.(Figure 16) No one can really tell how new space comes when it is already there. The missing process in these projects trigger many problems in spatial misuse and waste as well as deterioration of city function, identity, aesthetics and community interactions. Dispute on the issue whether an ancient area in urban reform project should be demolished or preserved is always important for the place cultural, social and economic development. Entire preservation and demolishment are static notions. The correct answer is transformation. As Steen A.B. Hoyer says in his essay “Things Take Time and Time Takes Things”: “The shift from local to global culture afforded by new economies and technologies means that people are becoming more interested in progressive approaches to the design of landscape. This is especially true when new approaches to design creatively reinterpret and extend past traditions… Landscape ought to be treated as something to be worked with or “evolved”, not held as an unchanging image… New and unusual landscape forms arise in respond to changing needs and programs.” [12] These reinterpretation and extension of tradition are transformations from an old
spatial or chronological variation, a diversity of such interactions emerges as a series of vocabularies arranged by another rule in response to different needs and programs, which makes a complex landscape behaviour system. This diversity in a process of times and places is what Ruskin appreciated about buildings: “A Building cannot be considered LQ LWV SULPH XQWLO IRXU RU ¿YH FHQWXULHV KDYH passed over it.”[13] For this “timely decay”, as what Emilie Gomart says, it is “an active selection and guidance of forces that exerted themselves in a slow, predictable, rhythmic manner”. Thus, beside architecture, a good landscape reveals a visible evolution process of interaction between traditional behaviours and economic activities in urbanism and the new urban phenomenon UHÀHFWHG.(Figure 17) Thus, it is crucial to design with process in order to release potential function and activate a 24hours in-used city (Figure 18) from these restrictions by a single and unchangeable mode of planning and enhance more chances for human communication as well as the understand of the culture of the city we live. It is about how a design integrates with daily routines, culture and convention as well as people’s perceptions in spatial variation. Thus, there are two kinds of processes to research, which are spatial process and chronological process.

The Site
What is a city village? “City Village� is a special situation of dwelling in many Chinese City. They are natural villages which are encompassed by modern development in Current Asian Urbanism. These areas have very low-rise buildings and the residents here are having low income. They are at the bottum line of city. For the sake of economic redevelopment, governments generate a series of policy to demolish and rebuild the city village with high-income programs, but the policy is not considerate enough for local social construction such as migrant workers which is one important components in city village for generation of local community interaction.

Site Condition The site of this research is a citytown called “Xian” village, located in CBD district of Guangzhou which is beside the middle axis of CBD and the VXUURXQGLQJ RI¿FH DQG UHVLGHQWLDO areas. It is a high-income urban space that the site is. But within the site, there are three kinds of people which are the indigenous villagers, migrant workers living there and working outside as well as the shop runners ( most of which are the other migrant workers in the village).

Special Behaviours/Collective Memories Spatial Composition of Circulation System in the Town There are many interesting activities or special atmosphere in the village circulation system to maintain a sense of neighborhood. They are a series of small courtyards, parks and many laneways with different width. They have special dimension and particular human activities, which provokes interpersonal communication and neighborhood sense. These are special behaviour systems in the landscape of Xian village.

Government Plan/Demands from Government(including interest developers) The Plan from the local government for redevelopment of the city village reveals an obvious ambition about high-income land use, which will not be tolerant to migrant workers due to the price for living in this plan is too high for them to substain. At the same time the original shops of the village buildings are all switched into new house of residential replacement in the tower building, in this case, the host the indigenous villagers lose thier tenants and shop runners. As a result, the original relationship of neighborhood will break down and the new circulation system showed in Figures 45 ~ 48 reveal a social separation. The elevators in the towers let people transfer too fast, the huge scale of inaccessible JUHHQ 多HOG DQG URDG SURGXFH useless space to enlarge human distance and the fence around the districts is a physical block to human interaction. Thus, in comparison, lost of neighborhood is the result in the future plan by government, after all, the towers are too high to have motivation for residents to get down and be concerned about the ground.

Social Concerns on Citytown Redevelopment Safe Problems in Citytown Buildings in the town have a very short interval with each other, which is illegal. The arrangement of wires is irregular. In this case, it is easy WR SRVH D ¿UH DQG LWV SUROLIHUDWLRQ LQ such narrow spaces. The stair in each building is illegally too short and stuck by residents’ piles of substances, which is harmful for evacuation. There are many small lanes with a short distance as 2 meters and the place accommodates people from different province, in which the composition of communities is complex. Hence, personal and possession safety is a problem. Therefore, the town needs staffs of a modernisation administration from redevelopment and built space in a legal way. (Figure 49)
Figure 49 Senitation Problems in Citytown The sanitation is bad in Xian village, the arrangement of laneways is not organised resulting in many corner pockets with few people being where there is a poor maintenance of environment. It needs a new plan of road constitution improvement which enhances people’s interaction of these spaces. (Figure 50)
Figure 50
Social Ecology in Government Plan The new plan destroys the original neighbourhood in the town and this can decline communication of residents and the outside-coming people. High-technology provides more and more convenience on human communication, especially on digital conservation. Furthermore, the tower is high and programs stack vertically ZLWK SHRSOH FRQ¿QHG LQ GLIIHUHQW OHYHOV without a horizontal interaction with GLIIHUHQW FRPPXQLWLHV 7KH WUDI¿FV DUH busy and disconnect into the sidewalk. Space is too large and lack of infrastructure to keep neighbourhood. It changes so fast for locals to drop their conventional life style, not knowing how to get used to, because function is not designed for transition of their previous life into a new one. “We don’t need a big and luxurious water-pool and an LQDFFHVVLEOH *UHHQ¿HOG :H MXVW QHHG a shade of tree and sit under to rest, look around and talk about trivia with the neighbours and the shop runner who is familiar”, as a senior villager says in the town. Thus, people become less communicative and life becomes stranger. And this is a victim as society keeps developing. A new way for the residential area design is in-need. City Sprawl and Social Marginalization by Government Plan Programs in the new plan are of high-income consumption, not for migrant workers’ accommodation. They are imposed to leave the town and seek for a new house in another city town or urban fringe where is still undeveloped for a low rent. This makes a messy sprawl of city. As a result, the modernization development will never complete. Migrant workers are low-level staffs in urban industry and service economy, who dedicate their labour to sustain the superstructure of social economic development. It is marginalization for the new plan to eject them out off the inner city. Problem of homeless, discrimination and hatred psychology will make our society inharmonious.

First Exploration of Patterns through De Platforms The design intends to introduce different platforms (Figure 52, c&b)to connect the original buildings into a series of units as refurbishment. These platforms include visual interaction(Figure 52, a) and encounter(Figure 52,c) for communication to cultivate sense of neighbourhood, at the same time, this connected network )LJXUH FDQ IXO¿OO WKH GHPDQGV RI urban program as government state and enrich programmatic usage and interaction between inner people and those from the outside. But the problem is how can I link the buildings with these platforms? My intention is to put the Stevens patterns studied from nature into the connection for encouragement of human interaction to maintain chances of local people’s neighbourhood.

Connection of Platforms by Patterns I use the explored spatial qualities of Stevens nature patterns to create different connections of the buildings. They can affect people’s path generating semiprivate spaces and the sinuous corridor, in order to introduce more interactions and chances for co-operation between different programs. This low-rise network of different units with inner courtyards provides semi-private space and fertile activities for city life and local community conversations. Different programs in units and outdoor activities are diffused maximize encountering and attraction of usage. The inner courtyards among different units aside from the public places and main roads can make semi-private space for outdoor activities and continuum of the behaviors of villagers in existing small courtyards of the site.(Figure 54) This is not Pattern! Formalism and Out of Consideration of Local Interaction The design is not a usage of patterns. The patterns here are not principle of behaviors, rather they are primitive geometries to create spatial forms and then affect behavior. They are more like Rossi’s prototype. Thus, it is formalism which does not consider the ORFDO EHKDYLRXUV $ ÀH[LEOH SDWWHUQ VKRXOG be generated from the local programmatic arrangement, spatial morphology and their interaction with domestic people. They should be of process, not static. I should QRW FRQ¿QH P\VHOI LQ WKH IRUP RI EXLOGLQJV instead, I should pay most attention of the system, the arrangement of objects and the human interaction as well as a process about how these human and entities behave along spatial-chronological process.

design from forms and programs like most of architects do, but from behaviours and interaction between people movement and spatial arrangement and should put them into process as a system.

A Need for Theory of Human Interaction The Theory of Human Interaction--- Social Theatre It is neccessary to learn about Augusto Boal’s theory on social theatre in order to think about how to increase human interaction in particular spatial arrangements and cultivate sense of neighbourhood in a landscape architect way. Augusto Boal is an avid supporter of utilizing interactive techniques, especially in the context of theatre. The soical theatre is created from his theory of theatre of oppression which is the mechanism of social theatre. The creation of the Social Theatre is largely based on the idea of dialogue and interaction between audience and performer.Moreover, these ideas have served as a framework for the development and evolution of stronger ideas. The Social Theatre [14]describes theatrical forms that the Brazilian theatre SUDFWLWLRQHU $XJXVWR %RDO ¿UVW HODERUDWHG in the 1960s, initially in Brazil and later LQ (XURSH %RDO ZDV LQÀXHQFHG E\ WKH work of the educator and theorist Paulo Freire. Boal’s techniques use theatre as means of promoting social interaction and political change. In the Social Theatre, the audience becomes active, such as “spect-actors” they explore, show, analyse and transform the reality in which they are living.(Figure 55) Every one could project own emotion and guide own action, without oppression by conventional form of theatre which FRQ¿QH LQWHUDFWLRQ RI DXGLHQFH DV D WRXJK boundary.

Invisible Theatre is all about showing oppression in everyday life, in an everyday setting, without the audience or Spec-actors knowing. The bystanders are unaware that they are part of a theatrical production, but nevertheless contribute to the discussion. This theatre enhance human interaction by encouraging bystanders’ observation and even participation in a daily event to let people feel in-group.

Patch is product through process of fragmentation in which the matrix of landscape is disturbed by activators from human action or natural change, isolating area of the matrix into patches, and the transition between different material is enhanced in this fragmentation, which allow more interaction and generation of different species. Matrix means a landscape condition as
dominant land use and habitat type; Patch means distinct landscape forms in a matrix of a relatively homogeneous landscape condition. Activators from affection of human or nature create Changes/Patches to disturb the Matrix and isolate some of them, which allow more interaction and generation of different species. Different join points
in different material such as rock and peat identify them in the earth as distinct species to others, therefore, join point is activator. The earth is the matrix, with this activator, different material are made in a landscape RI IUDJPHQWDWLRQ ZKLFK DOORZ GLYHUVH Ă&#x20AC;RZ RI species and energy

This behavior will help to keep a nice relationship between new commers. The relatively higher building is aggregated on the north-east because of the distance between the surrounding building due to the over shadowing legislation forbidding shadow cover the building behind.

Turbulant Transportation
Mechanism Spatial Extrusion: Arrangement of Facilities extruding programs from walls to exterior laneway space as blocks, active centres can produce narrowness and void(neutral centre) which affect the spatial volume through thier interval and relative position. This spatial morphology generates active and neutral edges for human interaction, at the same time, routes of pedestrians are affected too.

First Redevelopment of Meandering The spatial psychological theory of personal distance is introduced into the experiment below. In the experiment, I test different laneways with different width such as 4metres, 6metres and 8metres. And then, I increase amount of people inside the lanes, some of which are purchasing with others passing through. As a result, the spaces are compressed and interpersonal distance varies. These distance refer to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different spatial perception from feeling very too tight to interactive and then, alone. I adjusted the amount and arrangement of the VWDOOV WR ÂżQG RXW WKH EHVW ZD\ IRU DFFRPRGDWLRQ PRUH SHRSOH ZLWK LGHDO GLVWDQFH of interaction in the sections and plans.

Further Exploration of Stream Dynamic in Meandering and Simula From Logic to Detail Design of meandering in Laneway Previous Research The research about meandering up till now is about relationship between human interaction, arrangement of infrastructure as stalls and building interval. A particular distance between two stalls as 4 metre can be more easy to generate human interaction in a comfortable way before the space become too crowded. Through using this distance between each two stalls as a unit, arrangement of these units into different grids with different joint angles is found suitable for human interaction in laneway with particular width. (Figure M 01 A,B,C) However, I found it is limited and ULJLG WR FRQÂżQH WKH GHVLJQ LQ D VLPSOH DUUDQJHPHQW of stalls with a series of angles and distance.And the relationship between meandeing system and spatial design, human interaction is not so obvious.

The lateral force in natural meandering is equal to my meandering systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program attraction and replusion. (Figure M 01 G) Programmatic extrution (Figure M 01 E) makes stall compress space of passway of pedestrians and affect. As a result, the stall attracts participation or while there is too crowded, it
becomes a replusion to passer-by, which affect passway of pedestrians. The same to neutral center where provide privacy to who stay inside to observe surroundings. It also could repulse pedestrians by visual intervention from inside or room is full inside. (Figure M 01 G)When stalls are arranged in the best distance of interaction, they are easy to attract participation or provide sense of neighbourhood.

Result of Simulation and Further Redevelopment Vocabularies of Programmatic Extrusion Mechanism of meandering system is programmatic extrusion. Arrangement of Facilities extruding programs from walls to exterior laneway space as blocks, active centres can produce narrowness and void(neutral centre) which affect the spatial volume through thier interval and relative position. This spatial morphology generates active and neutral edges for human interaction, at the same time, routes of pedestrians are affected too.

In relative position of H mode, the arrangement of active centers has the most efficency in interaction. The opposite centers have direct interaction. The opposite centers have competition and the movement of passway makes different quality in privacy between the two competitional neutral centers which respond to each other and tends to take up the other, due to arrangement of active centers disturbs passway which makes people more difficult to pass. The curve passway in the middle is the icon of horizontal transposition.

I give cobble stone to where people would like to stay such as a chair, a table on wall, the entrance of shop, because cobble stone is rough and has an irragular surface,which is against the movement of the moveable stalls. In the chair area, people is easy to have a visual interaction which might be disturbing for privacy, which gives the reason to allocate a road lamp to moderate this clash.

This mode use two canopies to compress the space, with clothes hung on it. The clothes act as a series of billboards at the same time they create interesting small paths for experience. This extrusion of fasion attract kids to go through. When people purchase clothes, they contribute to the generation of active centers under the canopy. These active centers are guided by the canopy and arranged in H mode. The passway is pushed by the active centers to the right and pedestrians slow down. A private area for rest is enlarged by the passway and compress the opposite space. (see section G-G)The space compressed is designed as a news reading spot due to lack of privacy. The pavement also respond to this mode by using cobblestone as the groud to block the way of blue stone. Due to texture of cobblestone pavement is more exquisite than the blusestone one, it feels more comfortable as some where to stay.

This mode create vertical transposition to the positions of balcony. The site is designed as a dorm for migrant workers or other tenancy from outside the town. V mode is used to create such balcony in which people feel free to observe the surrounding, at the same time, it has oppotunities for interaction. Thus, the vertical transposition offer the people with indirect visual interaction, which takes a balance between privacy and interaction. This is the quality of V mode distribution. To the people who pass the small lane, this arrangement of balcony will not affect the passway. The pavement respond to this I use a S mode composition to generate a symmetry relationship between the two bands with cobble stone pavement aside the road, which emphasize the direction of the mainroad paved by stone which is more simple and bigger to create the sense of transportation.

This mode refers to local people daily routine of planting. The pavement is designed to allow local people to enlarge their out-door area for the behavior of planting. These out-door area can draw communication and interaction through the planting. They attract participation and become active centers. As their planting behavior expand both vertically and horizontally, the passway become curved (next page) and the neutral center(the bench) on the right in plan becomes from semi-open to semi-private, which is suitable for observation. Conversely, the left one becomes relatively active, due to the planting area grows towards it where people will be easy to have conversation face to face in a short distance. The planting behavior will attract more participation from the local villagers for communication of plant, especially kids playing through this area. The image theatre will enhance, as more and more outreaching behavior happen in the transportation .

Image Theatre with Light in laneway 4 The laneway locates in the heart of the residential area on design, where local ownership convey a strong sense of occupation. In this case, the local behavior of people hanging their clothes can affect the pass of sunlight. Therefore, I integrate the sunlight at noon with this behavior, in order to create a special light-shadow effect.
Movement of Sun Sunlight at noon in Summer Solstice Sunlight at noon in Winter Solstice
Section I-I 1:130 (Years Later)
The design use the rack to hang clothes as the strucutre to affect the sunlight. When people hang their clothes to dry at the same time , their clothes are arranged in a horizontal transposition way to cut the sunlight evenly. This enhance the interaction between the vertical behavior and the behavior on the ground, which attract peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observation and perception.
For the light condition, people in the laneway have a comfortable light-shadow environment. When they sit on the bench, they cover by shadow at noon without burnt by the sun. When they get through the lane, they experience the variation of light and shadow, which is interesting and attract their obervation upwards where the arrangement of clothes create a scenery.
Section H-H 1:130 (Years Later)
Integrated with the children running through the plant gallery, the conversation happening between local people about planting and the obervation from others who is sitting, this area become a 3 dimensional image theatre assorting many behavior as some one passing the space.

Meandering System Active Centers offer programs for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation. This direct interaction gain peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attraction, thus generate privacy to the space adjacent to it where a unprogramed and semi-private neutral center makes, such as a bench. At the same time, people in neutral center have unpreditable behaviours such as chatting, playing check and reading. At this time, activities in active centers granting views for observation by people in neutral center. Therefore, these mutural compensational relation between participation and observation create a series of invisible theatre of human interaction. ( Figure M 02 ) In this process, behaviours in active or neutral centers are outreaching in the dominant program as transportation, thus, meandering is a kind of image theatre, which is an assortment of behaviours. ( Figure M 03 ) The laneway act as a gellery where people can observe or take part in activities during their journey of passing.

Further Exploration of Spiral and Simulation to Design Principles From Logic to Detail Design of spiral in Small Courtyard Previous Research The research about spiral up till now is about relationship between different attractive centre enclosed by transitional boundaries. In the design, these transitional boundary including spatial morphology design and program/behavior. This boundary has act as fence to provide privacy but also produce visual LQ¿OWUDWLRQ IRU REVHUYDWLRQ %XW WKH NQRZOHGJH LV TXLWH limited that I stop on this general design stage which does not explore to a further stage as detial design. And I think it is not enough to just consider that spiral system is a center with varying boundaries and the boundaries vary from stable/private/relax to high circulation/public/ opposed. Some concept about the component still remain There should be more composition and the concept model should be more interactive. I should consider more on relationship between spatialprogrammatic arrangement and human behavior.
Further Exploration I reconsider basic aspect in spiral, from its components to local interaction then to a further exploration on object arrangement which can get rid of FRQ¿QH RI VSDWLDO IRUP ³/´ VKDSH $QG IRXQG D VHULHV prototype to conduct the detail design. Components I related the components with the objects and particles in natural spiral system. Some new components or those which were not noticed in previous research are found. I rename the stable center as neutral center. And I found it is not dynamic to consider only one center existing on site. The activities and behaviors on site should be the result between two or more centers with different or opposite quality in privacy and interaction. Therefore, I create another center named active center which is oppostie to neutral center. This active center radiate the boundaries of what I call high circulation boundary before.

Figure S 01 A Small Courtyard Design; B Mechanism:Transposition spatial morphology and Boundary with program and behavior C Natural Vortices; D Design Mechanism of Vortices; E Components
The program is unclear and too general. More clear? And I can see some transpositional relationship among the buildings arrangement morphology. Can these relation be transplanted into programmatic arrangement through some detial design on facilities? Is there any relationship of transposition between these and those of meandering? The fence is still too rigid and substaintial, can it be invisible? Can the mechanism not just have one center? High circulation boundary can be more complex, can’t it? Yes, they can ... through more detail design.....
Local Interaction Relation of attraction and repulsion is local interaction between different centers or different persons, this relation as the basic interaction is conducted by the patterns I have researched into a complex system. Because Spiral/Vortex is enlargement of meandering(see following page), thus, mechanism of Vortices is synthetic and complex result of these local interaction. (Figure S 01 D) Active Vortex attract participation and neutral vortex attract people go inside and observe surrounding. These are how the vortex attract people. It is attraction. Difference to meandering is that there is a heirachy towards the center of each vortex. There will be a decrease or increase of privacy in it, which connects two opposite centers through a in-between zone. These just simulate the hierachy of speed variation and exchange zone in the natural spiral vortex. When it absorbs or repulses things, this indicate attraction and repulsion of pedestrians in my spiral system. )LJXUH 6 & ' ,Q P\ VSLUDO V\VWHP LW LV WR ÂżQG LQ EHWZHHQ ]RQH as interface for programmatic transition between centers. Thus, mechanism of spiral is interfacing the opposite vortices.
In-between zone is very important, which means a zone near dominant programs both provides non-dominant activities for participation and semi-private space for observation as an interface. Paricipation and Observation are two opposite behaviour which are provided in this zone at the same time. Thus, it is semi-programed design on terrain, form, program arrangment and pavement. It acts as a connection and fence to combine and ,at the same time, seperate active center and neutral center. (Semi-programed: This word means the area has a quality between multi-programmatic and unprogramed. These are non-dominant programed. It is resilient and usually has a weak form.)

From meandering to spiral Spiral(Vortex) is Enlargement of Compensation Relation Meandering creats mutural compensational relation between participation and observation create a series of invisible theatre of human interaction. In spiral, this relationship becomes complex and complicated, when is enlarged in spatial scale from laneways to courtyards. Therefore, it need transition and in-between zone is an interface to connect and seperate the two enlarged centers through generation of a non-dominant programed area. Spiral talk about compensational relationship between 2 centers active and neutral and generation of in-between zone to connect them for more interaction.Due to scale enlargement, the space no longer has too much room to have many centers and the space is no longer linear, instead, more complicated. A center in spiral has a larger and more complicated boundaries. Thus, the competition between active vortex and neutral vortex becomes intense. They are opposite and muturally intervenient. Thus, an interface to moderate is necessary.

Observation
Relative position of SF mode, the large distance between two symmetry active centers can give privacy to generate a neutral center in the middle of the space. Through buildings and roads, this neutral center connects the two active centers through two in-between zones. In meandering ,centers with short distance in symmetry condition combine into a unit. Here, I use one unit to analyse
In Spiral, distance between them is larger, and centers seperate each other creating gap where neutral center happens naturally.
Relative position of VS mode between two centers can change the quality of a neutral center into an active one by compressing the space through buildings and roads, where generate a condition with an in-between zone embracing the bigger neutral center to extend the band of interaction.
Connection of interface is too short, thus, it is needed to have it extended

The lake and the old temple are two existing scenery in the city town. In the design, these two elements are places of interest and important centers of two active vortices in the city town. Some dominant behaviours are there. On the square in front of the old temple, local people dine togather in Traditional Festival. Other people visit the old temple as a historical heritage. Children play games on the square. Some local people play ball games in the temple.These dominant behaviours make the old temple an active center providing many activities for different peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation. Therefore, a ball court area arround it for people to play badminton is designed through pavement in order to enhance this active vortex.The lake, as the unique broad veiw in the town, not only provide dominant landscape of the site but also offers a sinuous path for jogging and leisure walking along the waterfront. It obtains potential for provision of activites which People do with water such as playing motor-ship tool on the lake.

SF mode in Small Courtyard 1 Due to the relative position of the two active vortices is symetry and there is a distance between them, when the two vortices attract peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation, there is not enough private space and spatial transition, which makes less interaction in the middle of the courtyard. (Figure S 02 A) As a result, a neutral center between them is necessary to adjust the problem. (Figure S 02 B) Mainroad

SF mode in Small Courtyard 1 A big canopy of Paulownia is designed to provide a neutral center where people can sit and observe others playing on the square in front of temple and ball court. A slope near the tree provide place for people lie and observe on the grass. A curve water pool is designed to introduce lake into the land, which provides children with an edge of inner water pool to play with. The canopy of Paulownia creates shade partly on ground of sqaure which becomes a semi-private space for observation. The square in front of the temple with varying pavement produces fun to children and even adults who is on the square and observe the ball games. Finally, a path connects the square,slope and water pool into an interesting circulation encouraging chasing of children between each other, which produces enjoyable Site experience for different people.This circulation enlarges the experience both of observation and participation and generates two in-between zones to connect the vortices. On normal day, Badminton playing, temple visiting,observation under the Paulownia and walking along waterfront are the dominant programes, and the circulation zone as in-between zone, facilitates some non-dominant behaviours such as children chasing each other through the path, having fun by observing the pavement, watching ball games on the square,playing with water, people lying and observing on the slope.These behaviour interconnect with each other through peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation and observation, centers become an entire unit with human interaction.

The horizontal passway and buildings compresses space of exercise zone on the left and expand the inner park on the right. Thus, more privacy is created to the park which become a neutral center of a neutral vortex; in comparison, the left courtyard with less depth from passway is relatively open, which is suitable to be an active center of an active vortex for attracting activities. People exercise on equipments and walk on the foot massage path.In terms of the park, due to the L shape of spatial morphology, it has more privacy, which has little interaction to the exercis zone. Because of the surrounding shops and stalls integrated with the passway, it can be considered that these areas become boundaries of two active vortices ( by imagination) which introduce an extended in-between zone longer than the vertical one as shown. This extended zone is comprised of a extension of the foot massage path and a slope with grass encompassing the park.

Spiral System In the spiral pattern, active center provides dominant programs for participation which facilitate the need of observation for those who sitting in neutral center where provide privacy. Intensity of interaction increase from neutral center to active center. In the middle of this process, there is an in-between zone to connect the opposite centers into a united area. In other word, this zone acts as interface of programmatic transition between two space with opposite function, which provides oppotunities for more “observe and being observed” relationship between two centers and generates more chances for human interaction. And usually, in this in-between zone, there are DOZD\V VRPH ÀH[LEOH VSDFH RI VHPL SURJUDPHG GHVLJQ IRU QRQ GRPLQDQW EHKDYLRXUV WR enhance human interaction and attract observation. At the same time, the behaviors in this zone provide privacy to neutral center as a fence to encourage observation. The zone itself also provides semi-private space for observation. Thus, strategy of spiral is to produce this in-between zone by drawing in interaction between these two kinds of centers which have opposite qualities on site in order to enhance programmatic transition for diverse human interaction. And in-between zone is interface where opposite programs switch with each other, which means it is a way for switchment between opposite behaviours in spatial process. The outcome of spiral is programmatic transition. 3URJUDPPDWLF 7UDQVLWLRQ 2SSRVLWH ¿HOGV SURJUDPHG YV XQSURJUDPHG spread, communicate and switch to each other through in-between zone as interface which connect them into an unit enhancing human interaction by the relationship between participation and observation.

Where invisible theatre is ---- Compensation of Observation and Participation This is where invisible theatre is. During this relationship between observation and participation, people feel free to have optional chance to join in the social interaction. They can choose participation in active centers to interact directly and also can satisfy their need for privacy by choosing observation in the neutral centers to enjoy the view from active center while active center provide privacy to neutral center by attracting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention.

Spatial Process: Explosion A complex image theatre
The Spatial Process of arrangement of laneways and small courtyards is according to the principle of explosion, in which the variation of intensity declines from the center to the vary end of the line. The design uses the logic of explosion to arrange different behaviours in laneways and small courtyards to create a variation of intensity on spatial perception from public space to inner neighbourhood. Finally, it results in a complex system of assortment of invisible theatres with similar dominant programs as laneways and small courtyards.

This variation in a global scale is used to replace the original physcial fence and rigid programmatic zoning in government plan and distinguish different areas from public to private by human behaviours instead of physcial construction.

Superimposition is a chronological process. Now, I am trying Office Officeto make more complex design in time. As I research the three main patterns patching, spiral and meandering in spatial process. From the total programmatic arrangement to spatial morphology, patching creates basical spatial form and program arrangement for small courtyard and laneway, while spiral and meandering deal with the detial design through infrastrucutre, pavement, terrain design. Spatially, it is a process from large spatial quality to small, laneways and courtyards are distributed in different places according to relevant ratio of program arrangment and legislation. But I think,now, I am trying to make more complex design in time. Superimposition is a parallel concept. Material exist in the same place but Mall time. It talks about change in different alternative systems overlapping into one complex system. When the activator become time, patching makes superimposition. To meandering, this creates a series of different condition in one laneway appearing in different time, which can combine opposite SURJUDPV VXFK DV WUDI多F WUDFN DQG pedestrianized commercial street through a harmonious transition with time as interface.

Thus, superimposition combine patching with meandering and spiral toHotel create forum theatre to let more opposite behaviour have chance to communicate through time which enhance the chance for interaction.

Morning Exercise According to the program arrangement, I found out some special behaviors in the invisible fence.They are unique which acts as a specialty in the site.(Figure I 02) Some of them are co-existng with other, while some resist others. Like the clothes drying on the square where peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seats are taken place. Or some of the activities need to behave in shadow or sun light, and this discrepancy makes a chance for improvement on spatial usage and chances for hunman interaction. Invisible fence is to combine these opposite behaviours through Activators( it will be talked about in following pages) as interface which are time and element relative to time like shadow, WKHUHIRUH WKH\ KHOS WR FUHDWH D IRUXP WKHDWUH DV WKH\ VZLWFK DORQJ WLPH PDNLQJ D VXSHULPSRVLWLRQ WR GHÂżQH DQ VSDWLDO RZQHUVKLS IRU ORFDO Residential Area people at the same time enhance interaction.

Negotiation with Daily Routine The invisible fence depends on superimposition of opposite local behaviours(Figure I 02). The table (T1) lay out timing of the daily routine of local behaviours in this road system and courtyard. Some of them are opposite to each other, some of them can co-exist. Thus, , KRSH WR DFKLHYH D KDUPRQLRXV ÂżQDO UHVXOW in each design. I assort them into different group according to the activator/interface of their negotiation: Time and Shadow, relevant to road system and courtyard respectively. ,Q WKH WLPH JURXS , ÂżQG RXW SULRULW\ transiportation mode for each local behaviour which I pick from the site of the road system and try to reassort these behaviour according WR ZKHWKHU VLPLODU PRGH WKH\ KDYH ÂżQDOO\ LW comes out a series of overlapping group with the same mode(T2 and T3). Then, I begin the negotiation of these group through different WLPH SHULRG LQ RQH GD\ DQG ÂżQG RXW EHWWHU way for the design. In terms of the shadow group, I attach different behaviour to its relevant shadow-light condition. (T1)These behaviours rely on light or shadow/darkness seriously, due to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily routines. Due to shadow in one day changes from long to short and back to long, it compete with sun. Some of the special behaviour goes with sun such as morning exercise and clothes drying, some goes against such as senior citizens stand in park with many activities(like playing check, dancing...) nearly whole day, where they need canopy for shade against the sun at noon. They can resist each other or co-exist. Thus, the design is a reaction TF to enhance the interaction between these muturally overlapping behaviours in the same TF place through analysis the interaction of shadow,light,space and behaviour(T4).

T3.Bicycle Track
The Road System Strategy Activator: Time Time and Daily Routine This negotiation is about the daily transportation routine on a temporary pedestrianized road and a bike track system. The temporary pedestrianized road has many local behaviours to affect the outcome RI QHJRWLDWLRQ RQ WKH WUDIÂżF FRQGLWLRQV IURP WUDIÂżF IUHH SHGHVWULDQ SULRULW\ WR WUDIÂżF priority, which are opposite to each other. Thus, it is a trans-programmatic design with many alternative system being exerted in turn according to different time. Each alternative system stands for synthetic result of negotiation between different local behaviour in particular time,as every local behaviour has a priority transportation mode.
This negotiation depends on comparison of intensity. If one mode of transportation has more behaviour to support in a time, it wins priority at that moment, as shown on table(T2). Through usage of pavement, facilities arrangement on ground as well as canopy design to realize this complex switchment. The bicycle track in the other area of the site is mainly a project of bicycle priority design through a series of speed reduction and turning on car tracks where cars and bikes can have permanent passage but there is a large affection on speed of cars with less intervention on that of bikes. At the same time, it facilitates human circulation in these inner residential area( See Figure I 01).
Note: These behaviors happen in the same place but different time. They are dominant in particular time but not the whole day. Thus, they are opposite but united. The design is to respond to this, creating a system with opposite modes in a dynamic system.

Many people decide to hide in the shade of tree and buildings. Some of the cuboids can be moveable for user to adjust their positions, sothat people can do more activities in the shade and the edge of the courtyard. At this time, the in-between zone becomes small and neutral vortices shrink with the shadow. And the clothes being dried become a scenery to attract observation, which become dominant element of the active vortex.

Plan 1:200 of Gateway Courtyard in 6:00PM --- 10:00PM From 6:00PM to 10:00PM, outdoor theatre in the square becomes the dominant program. When the clothes and mattress are taken back, migrant workers leave off work and gather in the courtyard for their leisure time as daily routine. The slope acts as the seat for them and the wall of the old temple offer a screen as well as the square in the middle sustain any performance space. People can not only watch movies, but also do other activities on the slope and cuboid zone. These behaviours can attract people including local residents and visitors to join and the participation create a special scenery being observed by others, therefore, an in-between zone is made.

Superimposition of Vortices --- Behavior Transition/Forum Theatre in Gateway Courtyard In the design, spatial composition follows peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse need according to variation of shadow. The physical patterns are comprised of slopes, square with grids, two Paulownia( one is transplanted from original courtyard), moveable facilities and steps. The former two is designed for sunshine, while the last three is for shade. They are relative to particular behavior such as drying clothes, exercise, performing, having rest, playing check and so on. These behaviors generate different centers active or neutral, at the same time, in-between zone. The movement of the fridge between shadow and sunlight is that of in-between zone.
The variation of in-between zone offers an interface for WKHVH RSSRVLWH EHKDYLRUV 0RUQLQJ H[HUFLVH LV WKH ÂżUVW behavior on the square, when the shadow gets short, the clothes drying behavior takes over the place from the slope where enhance area of surface exposure to the sun. After 3:30 pm, as shadow extend, clothes start being pick up. When it is 6:00 pm, shadow takes up space, workers off work sit on the slope, the square becomes a stage for the show on the wall of temple. During this period, the three dominant behaviors take turns to provide participation and attract observation as three different scenery along time. They are active vortices.

Behaviors of people under the tree in the cuboid zone like playing checks, talking, having a nap, become a part of the scenery. These people also oberve the dominant three as audience. They are on the in-between zone. They exist the whole day as shadow accompanying with the three active vortices. This programmatic transition among the three behavior provides forum theatre through shadow as interface, while they are opposite to others. Because all of the three are behaviors special and local to the site, each of them create a relevant forum theatre and they take turns along time, this will generate an ever-updating complex forum theatre, which is iconic enough as a gateway at the same time maximise the interaction arround the site.

Conclusion •Resilient
Patterns as prototypes conduct behaviours of a landscape system for resilient usage of urban space. Resilience requires us to exert ourselves to make good use of the already and limited sources from the original constitution to their utmost, instead of rebuilding a total new construction. To reuse the pattern is to absorb the regulation of domestic behaviours and conventions to transform and integrate with the new programs and needs. This aggregation of people’s collective intelligence of life is better way to find inspiration of design.
•Summery of Methodology
The design strategy of slow pattern is based on the understanding of landscape behavioral system. It attaches importance to local behaviours of the domestic people/organism in existing neighbourhood of site as well as their interaction with the relevant environmental configuration. Firstly, after learning from natural phenomena, I found out some principles of movement of particles and arrangement of objects and simplified them into different patterns; Secondly, I explored the logics and regulations of local behaviours of people from existing neighbourhood in site and their interaction with circumstance; Thirdly, I tried to find out similarity •Behaviour-scape between principles of natural phenomena and behavioral It is tired to see many designs showing their peculiar regulations of local people in order to translate natural forms and special materiality without accommodation of people. We build forms, insert programs and use materials patterns into patterns of human interaction in site, in order to respond the local context such as daily, culture, through using environmental psychology such as interpersonal distance. After then, I found out what kind recreation, social and economic events; we also use of system of invisible theatres is created in this human our architecture and landscape design to engage with a patterns and how are components arranged in this particular environment which is an spatial arrangement with interaction of people or other organisms, not materials system. Further more, in the process of simulation, I and programs. Therefore, we build because of behaviours. found out what kind of spatial forms and programs can be the components in each of the patterns. Moreover, Landscape architecture does not stand still. Designs I redeveloped these patterns into their sub-types should be derived from behaviours, integration between new and local behaviours, rather than forms and programs. and translated them into physical design detailed in different scale in order to find out their integration of This is the primitive way how we understand things. We, programs and forms. Finally, I explored their variation in from behaviours, find out dynamic patterns, a relation of chronological and spatial process for a more complex culture, an intelligence of people’s daily life, a vivid spatial system. specialty and sense of belonging when we perceive it. Eventually, I found different patterns have different There will be one day, maybe when we get tired off forms and programs, all our memory about enjoyment of a place quality on programmatic arrangement ( masterplan, is what people do and interact with the circumstance under courtyard, laneways) and generation of different kinds of neighbourhood systems( forum theatres and image these spatial entities. theatres.).

Therefore, it should be solved through adding ( For Diagram of summerized design methodology?

Through the network of small courtyards and laneways on the ground and the enlarged stair cases for recreation activities in highrise buildings, neighbourhood can be maintained and diverse human interaction can be maximized in a new and developed condition of the project.

Why use Euclidian Natural Patterns in Local Scale as Prototype?

Middle and Modest: As popular way of human construction and landscape planning and traditional way of reducing the complexity of nature, pure Euclidian Geometry(human patterns like grids, radian center, axis) tends to oversimplify what nature provides --- heterogeneity and its complex interaction as what chao theory states; However, Nature LV LQKXPDQ IRU EHLQJ WRR FRPSOLFDWHG WR XQGHUVWDQG ZLWKRXW VLPSOLÂżFDWLRQ EXW LW LV D SHUIHFW FRPSOH[ V\VWHP ZKLFK LV FRQVWDQWO\ G\QDPLF Ă&#x20AC;H[LEOH DQG VHOI RUJDQLVLQJ 7R GHYHORS FUHDWLYH SRVVLELOLW\ DV GHVLJQHU LV WR JHW PRUH IXOO\ XQGHUstand about the structure of the world, the nature, however, to design is same time to simplify this complexity to some H[WHQW IRU UHFUHDWLRQ 7KHUHIRUH , KDYH WR ÂżQG D FRQGLWLRQ RI LQ EHWZHHQ 2XU /DQGVFDSH GHVLJQ LV WR GHVLJQ SDUWLFXODU human patterns in the world and integrate with other natural patterns to comprise the whole world. Thus, Human and these Nature patterns are in the same origin --- the world/the entire nature, which means they are homologue in topological process of the world. As what Stevens said the range of various possibility of patterns is limitated by the restriction of spatial dimension in the world and the degree of similarity is greater than that of difference in the same tree, could it means there is similarity between human and other nature patterns more than difference, due to human and other nature has a same origin --- whole nature? If so, the way human deal with landscape complexity ( landscape design) has something in common with those of other nature dealing with complexity. In this case, it is feasible to deal with our landscape design by inspiration of these similarity from other nature patterns as compensation to modern human pattern(especially urban). Thus, Natural patterns such as spiral,branching,meandering,explosion,packing and cracking extracted into a Euclidian way by Peter Stevens could reveal these similarity and ,through analysis of their origin and mechanism, be suitible prototypes as well as beginnings to supplement for a complex landscape system in human landscape development, which is both legible and completed. Some similarity to the natural patterns can be found in the village outerior spatial pattern such as branching, cracking and explosion in which sense of neighbourhood is found and messy irregulation is presented; while the new plan of redevelopment is too rigid to simplify these interaction by Euclidian patterns. Thus,a third type of complex system is the main theme of this research and in-need, through the the usage of Stevens Natural Patterns integrated with Human Patterns as Prototype.
5HĂ&#x20AC;HFWLRQ What was discovered? The most important thing discovered is the location point from which I began to know to explore the complex system. It is patterns that locate at the middle of the process that a complex system is made from. At the start point, I got VRPH WURXEOH LQ ÂżQGLQJ KRZ WR UHVHDUFK D EHKDYLRUDO V\VWHP 6KRXOG LW VWDUW ZLWK components, interaction between them? or it should begin from a top down way? Neither is correct. It should start from patterns. These patterns is a middle condiction of the whole process. They are system of components, but at the same time are the components of the more complex system. Beside, it is good to discover the relationship between pattern, spatial form and human interaction/behavior. And the usage of interval between different buildLQJV DFFRUGLQJ WR OHJLVODWLRQ RI RYHUVKDGRZLQJ DQG ÂżUH GLVWDQFH LV LQWHUHVWHG besides, this method do create sense of neighborhood. What I think about landscape design is the one in which designers do not have to explore very complicated forms but complex logic. This logic do not have to lei on the form it self, but even a simple aspect, it could become great as long as you keep on.
What was problem? The problem I could not solve is that to balance government demand for economic development and usage of low-rise housing. This will be one of the way I focus on next semester. Projection? The major projection is that I will explore more prototypes of patterns in city village or somewhere has a similar condiction about neighborhood and economic, urbanism.
