GIS Final Project New York City, US

This project is about choosing a group of

condominiums in New York City for future residential

redevelopment consideration and to deliver a poster for that. As is shown in the left poster, I inspected infrastructure and service conditions, built year of

the property, and difference in property value with the surrounding properties to pick out the obsolete

properties with sufficient amenities, provided with NYC Open Data.

Reshaping Edge City Planning Workshop King of Prussia, Philadelphia, US Overall, the Strategic Plan for King of Prussia strives to

strengthen the relationship between the area’s distinct districts,

and reinforce residents’ attachment to the place. In doing so, it envisions developing new centers of attraction, in addition to the

existing KOP Mall, the Village at Valley Forge mixed-use zone

Dekalb Street

adjacent to the mall area and a commercial corridor along First

Avenue in the existing office park. This strategy will enable KOP to move past the dividing effects of barriers like the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

At the heart of the Plan is an enhanced circulation network,

spearheaded by the extension of the Norristown High Speed Line. The circulation plan also utilizes bicycling and walking to achieve connectivity at multiple scales.

collaboration of graduate students from architecture, landscape

Mixed Use Development for a 24/7 Neighborhood Course Work: Site Planning Near Navy Yard, Philadelphia

This project is one component of some hypothetical coordinated development projects near Navy Yard, Philadelphia. With an

over-all consideration of the surrounding areas, we propose to make it a lively 24/7 neighborhood mainly for the young professionals.

As is showed above, we designed a street to connect the

southern commercial-mixed use area and the hotel, which is to accommodate people coming for sports events. In everyday life, it also becomes a place of leisure for residents living

around. Some green buffer is to relieve the visual impact of parking 11

Rebuild the Historic Neighborhood Urban Design & Architecture Studio Haizhou District, Lianyun Port, China Getting inspiration from the legends of the Baihu Hill and ancient

Haizhou map, the urban design of Haizhou District is to revive

the area which is currently dilapidated low-rise residential by

encouraging traditional cultural activities and reshaping the cultural landscape to attract tourism and business opportunities.

Landscape System The design uses a traditional landscape approach called “changing

scenes with movements” ( 移 步 换 景 ). Baihu Mountain, the island,

the towers and the pavilions form spots guiding views with the streets providing view corridors.

Public Space System

Public space s arranged around the landscape of lake and

mountain, with streets oriented rowards the view spots. Traditional commerial and religious spaces are studied to be applied in the design.

Appearance and Function The major parcels are designed as an example to illustrate “contemporary� with

Progressive Renewal of the Historic Neighborhood Urban Design & Architecture Studio Old Town, Shanghai, China Shanghai old town is the origin of Shanghai city, which has flourished

as the living place for citizens, but is now dilapidated and under stress of redevelopment for land capitalization. The design proposal is an approach to

rebuild a neighborhood that meets the growth needs while still reminds people of the interactive and intimate town life.

Progressive Renewal of the Historic Neighborhood Design approach to establish the neighborhood at the boundary area The boundary area is playing the interface on both sides.

We researched on the space types in this area to find their

relationship with the outside traffic and street life, and the inside with the old preserved houses, from which we made a selection of the right and wrong strategy based on observation, and designed a new neighborhood.

The area I chose for design is located near the broad traffic

(left): Green or construction and commercial interface as buffer of the traffic

road that disperses the old town and embraces several historic

houses to be preserved. It is supposed to block the outside

(right): green and middle-scale buildings as neighborhood making

noise as a shield and establish a neighborhood with the old.

Neighborhood | Spacial Memory

Progressive Renewal of the Historic Neighborhood Residential Typology Design Since the typical feature of a village is the path hooking up the

houses, the regular way of separate vertical staircases in separate

buildings is supposed to be changed. Rather than an enclosed vertical box for circulation, the stair should be perceived more as a path leading home that is close to the living environment - the yard.

So spread-out stairs is proposed, along with floors that are varied

for different housing types. By intersection into each other, these unfolded groups layered up, with semi-public yards inside, and grow naturally into a new village.

Growing Village The composition of intersection of two buildings forms an independent yard shared by various groups of people.

The out-stretched stairs also brings about better ventilation and light condition.

University City, Shanghai, China The project of the innovation plaza on the old industrial land is designed to

manifest the identities of industrial and innovation features while functioning as

the urban node for people coming out of the metro line. An elevated cloister is

devised to represent features of large-span space of industrial and enclosure for gathering, of which the core is museum and galleries. The spatial and program

communicational space for the public

configuration is to establish a more connected relationship between the creative professionals and the public.
