PORTFOLIO OF YING CHEN selected works from 2012-2017
CONTENTS
02 CLOUD CITY
urban deisgn of ZHANGJIANG district based on smart city (large scale)
The projects I selected are located in many cities in China , which I used to study or work, there by having the chance to spend enough time experiencing the sites.Different cities have different features and lifestyles. I always believe that urban design is what should help cities show their features and lifestyles better. Our responsibility is to dig out the information from the site with the help of new technology and transform it into design language. In this portfolio, I selected three projects which focus on three different aspects: urban renewal, landscape and street furniture. The three of them expound my view on urban design to fulfill the SGM space. S is Share; G is Green, and M is Mix. Sharing the city, greening the environment, mixing the building function, I believe that urban design can create a better community.

01 MASK CITY urban design of CHAOHU ZHONGMIAO in Hefei The fourth year project in bachelor 2015.5-7 Tutor:Xuan Wei Team work
Inexorably extensive urbanisation keeps curtailing original villages, which we could never affirm to give an obstructiveness. Nevertheless city is not about sigular inhabitances and circuits any more, instead it is co-living with diversification of ratials and lifestyles. The project aims to fuse multiplicity of elements and forge as a montage that would ameliorate the natural environment and diversify the urban activity as well as provoke economic development, facilitate social adaptation without erazing multiple life. These, as listed, are the ideal orientations of our metropolis' endeavor.

Currently there is long waterfront line, however the segregation between land and water is tough and the landscape is hydropholic and lack of energy
2012
Numbers of ancient-like buildings aggregate by the water and block view to damage natural skyline and street ambiance
The original landscape design is fragmental, with lack of care it turns to wild grass and reploughing land. Living stuffs are randomly put around in and out the village. The waterfront landscape is singular and boring

New cultural element
ecological park Different cultures are integrated
Within the site there are three dominant parties: local people (fisherman), religious worker and tourist. Due to cultural differences the three groups don't interact in a satisfied way. As a result, the solution to deal with the issue is what we need to think about. There is paradoxical attribute within the community that the traditional lifestyle of local people and religious workers attracts numbers of tourist to come while their expectation and imagination toward what they are going to see have such a gap that it creates another communication problem. Thus an entity to promote their communication, to find out similarities between different parties, to create an interest among their attitude, is the key to solve the problem. In our opinion, 'artist' and 'artisity' are the key factors. Harnessing art as a visual strategy to promote local attributes and culture would make it easiler for the tourists to understand local traditional lifestyle and to walk in and understand local life by appreciating and joining the art process. Whereby these events will help make the interactions happen and at the same time maintain diversity of culture and ambiance.

axonometric of commercial area
The whole commercial district is divided to two dominant parts, among which there is the Bin Lake Commercial District. The district connects the wetland park, the lake landscape pedestrian, the landscape platform and historical sites like Zhong Miao Temple and Zhao Zhong Temple, which are significant parts within the tourist site. The architectures are three floors high ancient style that create a satisfied mixture between the historical buildings and modern commercial program.

The village and greenhouse factory are located in the east of the district. The village is the place containing local aggregation and closely beside the farm. During the process of renovation in order to connect the village and farm, the Agricultural Products Exhibition and Sales Center, a landscape construction, is created to raise the local lifestyle and promote local industry.Mixture of greenhouse and farm and flower field generates a new point of interests.

02 CLOUD CITY Urban deisgn of ZHANGJIANG district based on smart city Project in Wilcoter campany 2016.9-11 Leader:Cui Peng Teamwork
The Siliconand Medicine Valley in China is one of the most advanced national economy and technology developing districts. However, with winged urbanisation and high-level population increasing, the previous industrial instrumentality oriented district cannot fulfill the current new generation residents' requirement anymore. The competition exerts big data to the research of tne requirement of working and living of the new generation innovative people of the 'internet plus' time, to the creation of sharing space and sharing community. The competition aims to raise the safety and energy of the community and transform the technology district to intelligent urban community.

03 STREET FURNITURES Detial design in BAITASI urban regeneration project Project in AA visiting school 2015.10 Tutor:Chen Kunkun,Chen yiqiang Teamwork
BAITASI district is one of the remained low height architecture group, where there is criwed stores facing the streets, crwoded transportation and children playing along side the road. Here the mess of functions gives community energy while it creates problems and inconvenience. Based on our research, we choose the X-shape street, the most controvertial prototype, to make movement stimulation in order to find out the mosy appropriate urban furniture layout and try to solve parking problems and generate public spae within the limitation of area.

DENSITIY OF PEOPLE
In the conditions of rapidly growing cities all over China, Beijing Hutongs have become peaceful, untouched islands in the sea of skyscrapers. Today these oases are ones of the most desired neighborhoods with the highest commercial potential. That’s the reason that we go together with AA visiting school, and our story starts from here: study the current conditions in Baitasi. Discover the existing problem, analysis the problem and design of a range of possible interventions.

Whereby the movement analysis of the vehicle and pedestrian on the street during the morning, noon and evening plus a layered comparison, four signiture pedestrian points and two vehicle points are generated, which are where we finally decide to partially renovate.

Installation I is applied for densed area. Mainly it targets the issue of non-vehicle parking, pedestrian density and lack of public sitting device.
Installation II is used at areas occupied by people and car mixing together densely. The lower floor is used for car parking while higher floor for pedestrian.

1 Gaoqiao acient town 2016.7-9 Leader Cui Ping Gaoqiao is the only ancient town with river in Shanghai, ignoring the development and construction of traditional culture has caused a certain damage to the spatial pattern of this place to some extent. The city road has passed through the original streets and alleys, and modern buildings are towering among the old folk houses. The design is tring to prevent such kind of damage from continuing, reinventing the "T-shaped Water Street" and "T-shaped Road Network" to restore the overall appearance of the ancient town, protect the water township culture, and create a new Shanghai tranditional town.

With the development of the times and the increase in the number of railway passengers, Hefei’s old railway station is undergoing renovations. This reform program combines the subway layouts of the No. 1 and No. 2 lines passing through the train station to design the ground and underground space of the train station to form a three-dimensional structure. Traffic space, optimization of the traffic flow of the train station and the functional structure of the surrounding commercial complex.

3 Bridge in Fishing Moratorium Period
37
In the design of the Mask City, I discussed with my partner about the reconstruction of the Anping Bridge in front of the ancient shipyard. If it is not built, the pedestrian flow line will be affected; if it is built, it may affect the fishing boat to fish during the fishing period. In the summer vacation, when I saw the tape measure, I suddenly found inspiration. Why not design a bridge which can be reclaimed? During the fishing moratorium, the bridge is put down to facilitate pedestrians' travel. During the fishing season, the bridge is closed and the fishing boat is ensured to make a smooth fishing trip.
