URBAN OPEN SPACE Open space in urban environment is the most lively and compelling place for people to stay together and share their common experience of the city. While modern high-speed development threatens to devour natural municipal space and identity, the proper design of urban open space may provide precious inspirations for the puzzle.

SHAKE SHACK PHENOMENON AND FLATIRON BID

New York City is famous for its Manhattan Grid and is full of innovative ways to vibrant its district neighborhood. With Broadway, the main tilted spine while challenges the rigid orthogonal system, cutting through its center, Madison Park Square and Flatiron Iron district achieved strong identity from its sharp corner and open space at the island of the crossing for Fifth Ave and Broadway.

Initial atlas research demonstrated how the Shake Shack and BID acted as a concentrating power to active Flatiron District. Further discussion was about how restaurants and shops could act as contemporary way for people to enjoy public life.

These space could be transformed into public space and be incorporated into public plaza/park system to make the city more porous - both porous for vegetation and for publicity. The project explored the possibility of designing SuperBID to increase the permeability of the public space. The SuperBID connecting Madison Square and Union Square breaks the grid to give street space to city space, links street, plaza and park with unified design identity, sets back the ground facade of restaurants and retails, and creates a transparent ground layer that could be shared with plaza and park.

Since the identity of Flatiron District demonstrates a determined trajectory towards a concentration on food and shops, the opportunity arises for transformative public space: More porous, more transparent, more engaged, more inclusive.

III. LINKAGE AND PAVING SYSTEM The linear linking to the restaurant is realized by the paving system.

The primary corridor, the diagonal, which directly leads to the front facade of the restaurants, stands out for its smaller units and smooth surface to encourage people to move to the destination, creating a strong diagonal direction that extends to the whole district.

The secondary corridor, the orthogonal, is of the same pattern with the plaza, stands out for its smooth material, acting as a transition to knit the resturant-direction space into the plaza and park.

III. VERTICAL POROSITY

Located above the subway station platform, the SuperBID are well connected with other parts of the city. Shake Shack is not only at the center of the plaza but also performs as a vertical interaction to the subway station.

WATERSCAPE I’m obsessed with the power of water to craft and activate urban public space. Presented in various ways, people stare at, gathering around, and play with water. Closely related with grading and drainage, it is amazing for space making. I used following project to study waterscape at different scale and locations to explore its spatial, ecological and social potential.

WATERFRONT DIVERSE AND ENGAGING PLACE MAKING Hafen City A Precedent for Vibrant Urban Waterfront By comparing and recollage water front space of Hafen City, Madrid Rio, Back Bay and Ville Nouvelle, we are most interested in Hafen City and found its waterfront the most compelling. After close study of urban waterfront, we developed a series of waterfront typology and summarized that what made these places compelling are: -the views facing city and water; -the adjacency to water system and park patches; -connections between programmed buildings, neighborhoods and the water.

The first layer is basic landscape layer and is fouced on hydrology.

The South channel has one side hardscape-integrated with the urban situation, the other side, softscapeinergrated, served as a biofilter for highway runoff, and integrates with the Charles River park system. North is a smaller scale, shallow wetland, made with a series of basins that purify runoff before they reach a natrual swimming pool and the river.

These two channels are connected by a pedestrian spine, along which are local collection basins. They have benches, face certain slopes, in order to serve as activation points.

T h e s e c o n d l a ye r i s a b o u t t h e transition from landform to building.

The slopes emerge from the ground plane so that people can walk up them and have a good view of the river. They are also sunny in all seasons, but create shade along the Main plaza during the summer.

The third layer is the actual buildings w i t h l i ft e d c a n o p i e s ,w h i c h a re arranged and carved for sunlight.

They maintain sunlight on major public spaces and streets, but provide shaded moments along building southern edge, while creating partial sun and shade within the courtyards.

WATER, LANDFORM AND ACTIVITY

The change of typology provides swimming pools of various depth, for people from youth to adult to dive in, to swim, to play with water, and to dig the feet.

The sloped roofs add another layer to the landscape. While one side of the roof acts as overhanging canopy, the other ƙĿēĚ ƎƑūDŽĿēĚƙ ĚŕĚDŽîƥĚē ƙƎîČĚ IJūƑ ƎĚūƎŕĚ ƥū ƙĿƥ îŠē ŕîNj ēūDžŠȡ îŠē ČƑĚîƥĚƙ ƙƎĚČĿǛČ DŽĿĚDž ēĿƑĚČƥĿūŠƙȦ

Standing south of the swath, one could see the zigzaged spine, along with the water basins, runs into the south wetland on one end, and extends further away to the other end. The perspective shaped by the buildings and the landform emphasizes the spine’s implication of leading and connection to somewhere.

During the process, the chapel is similar to a dropper that links Xixi Wetland and downtown Hangzhou and let the two dissolved into each other.

CREVASSE/ TRAVERSE Greenland is not a plain ice sheet.

Instead, it is filled with moulin and crevasse. Sometimes covered by snow on the surface, these holes and cracks threaten the traverse team who aims to go deep into the ice sheet because of the potential for people and vehicle to fall into the cracks.

Paradoxically, the track and carbon footprint for the traverse changed the albedo of ice sheet, heating the glacier which lead to expansion and sprawl of crevasse. Because of the change of crevasse, the route of traverse is reexamined and replanned every year.

Thus, the project questions to what extent should human being explore ȳūƑ ēĚDŽĚŕūƎȴ ƥĺĚ ĿČĚ ƙĺĚĚƥȦ TŠƙƥĚîē ūIJ building a determined route for the traverse, small interventions act like supporting infrastructure for research team are cautiously placed around the spine where crevasse are mostly to occur while limiting the extent for excursion.

Moulin: a roughly circular, vertical well-like shaft within a glacier or ice sheet which water enters from the surface. It can be up to 10 meters wide and hundreds of meters deep.

Crevasse: a deep crack, or fracture, found in an ice sheet or glacier, which forms as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress.

Based on Origami and kinetic principles, the temporary shelter is a foldable structure that could be carried by mar tian rovers during site excursion. The flexible structure give it the ability to adapt to various landforms from flat plain to rocky hills. At a longer term, the temporary shelters could be set up as different containers and markers to create network for communication and ƙČĿĚŠƥĿǛČ DžūƑŒƙȦ

CITY TRIGGER: STAY, SPARK, STAGE INNOVATION COMPLEX

BY YIJIA CHEN AND WANG QIUSHI INSTRUCTED BY KA WANG èO/cT sH ÀsT×/¤¬T¹Þ ǨǦǧǪ ¬¡¤TsH

Located in the downtown center of Hangzhou, the site appears to be a busy shopping center. However, close investigation showed a serious separation between the people who travel shop there and those who live there. Right beside the prosperous shopping malls live the poor workers abandoned by the city.

By adding a sinking plaza and a sloped roof garden, the complex functions as a key public space in the dense city center that encourage people, both poor and rich, residents and tourist, insider and outsider, to share and communicate. giving it a chance to spark and to make it a new sharing stage. Also, the interaction between roof garden and semi-underground architecture discusses the paradox between public space and urban density.

Chuodun Village is facing a recession with the young leaving and increased vacant building. However, surrounded by water and wetland, adjacent to thousand-year-old Chuodun Relic, and abundant with elegant traditional Chinese villas, Chuodun Village could be renovated and refreshed. The program creates a necklace to trigger different experience from wandering in

villas, meandering by water, going down to the land and exploring the relics in the woods to unpack the vibrant history of traditional Chinese village.
