ITERATION URBANISM

FOREWORD

It has to be acknowledged that the cities we currently live in are iterating at an unimaginable rate in the past. Sadly, due to the cognitive lag of urban designers and managers, new dilemmas have emerged. But it is also exciting to see, as Rem Koolhaas says, that any aspect of human civilization and architecture can benefit from the challenges facing each other. On the one hand, the development of digital technology is constantly renewing our way of life, and on the other hand, digital technology is intervening to give new tools and methods to spatial design. The bi-directional impact of technology means that design methods centred on human experience are becoming less and less relevant, and that the interrelationships between design, space and users can be quantified and related. In a foreseeable future, digital technology will not only be a catalyst for the advancement of civilization, but will become the basis for social interaction and embedded in everyone's physical and emotional experience. This presents a challenging issue for architecture and urban design: "how to systematically design a sustainable and efficient social space in a time and space where the rate of iteration is extremely fast".

"Iteration" refers to the process of repeated feedback in order to approach the goal. "Iterative Urbanism" itself represents a vision that builds a response mechanism between users and space based on data science and algorithms, thus generating design iterations. "Iterative Urbanism breaks away from selfcelebration and top-down design and attempts to leverage the iterative power of computers to meet this challenge. In my view, only design iteration can respond to future changes. Every design is a complex iterative process. This complexity has led me not to stop at the design of specific spatial forms, but to take a more macro view, defining the goal of design as the establishment of a response mechanism behind the space. Not just experimental academic projects, I also try to integrate them into professional practical projects, so as to expand and extend iterative urbanism. The iteration I understand now is more of a design concept and principle.

This book selects projects and studies during my academic at bjut&hku which can be seen as an iterative experiment in response to society and the city.

URBAN DESIGN - A NEW COMMUNITY CENTER IN HONG KONG

Acadamic Individual Project

HKU MUD STUIDO 1001

Instructor: Massimiliano Dappero

Duration: 2021.9-2021.12

Location: Hong Kong SAR, China

To Kwa Wan is located in the southeast of the Kowloon City District on the Kowloon Peninsula of Hong Kong, China, west of the old Kai Tak Airport. To Kwa Wan is one of Hong Kong's old districts, mainly residential and commercial areas, built to adapt to the rapidly increasing population. It was a key area for the development of low-cost housing and light industry in the 1950s and 1960s.

To Kwa Wan is close to Hong Kong CBD2 and Kai Tak Sports Park. With the completion of these two new central areas and the closer connection between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, To Kwa Wan is facing huge re-development opportunities and the chances for transformation.

Ma Tau Kok is the core area of To Kwa Wan. It is close to the coast and is an important living and leisure area in To Kwa Bay. It includes the famous 13th Street and Cattle Depot Art Village.

The new super community will form four centers in the future. The Creativity Centre is a technology and creativity marketplace based on Ma Tau Kok's innovation-focused automotive services industry. The Community Center has a variety of public spaces such as fruit and vegetable gardening, art studios, micro parks and retail markets. Art & Culture Center provide a venue for exhibitions and experiences for art and other culture uses. The Public Vitality Centre provides a diverse range of sports and activities for the local community.

Bronze Award of "Design for GBA Cities" Competition

Instructor: Siddharth Khakhar

Duration: 2022.1-2021.4

Location: NTN New town, Hong Kong SAR, China

Inspired by the site's vernacular villages and rich landscape of hills, ponds and rivers, a small mixed-use community cluster with the theme of "Island Development" is proposed as a new resilient development model for the northern metro area. While keeping urban areas safe from flooding, miniature multimodal hubs of mixed water and land public transport, zero-carbon communities and villages as tourist destinations, are additional layers to the island concept.

Accordingly, the urban design project propose to establish a comprehensive site evaluation system as an optimization scheme, which can adapt to local conditions and better coordinate the urban spatial form and functional structure with the local topography, soil and hydrological system. The urban texture of locality and island shape can be smoothly integrated into the surrounding environment, and the natural resources can be used more rationally.

Specifically, NTN's Queen's Hill was selected as the experimental site, combined with large-scale regional analysis, to maximize the integration of the site with nature, and to make full use of natural resources to create a bio-science innovation base that integrates industry and life.

Ecological open spaces and infrastructure are arranged along the two main axes of the ecological living cluster and are available to all residents living in the community. They can easily balance their life and work, they can spend a warm afternoon in an eco-friendly park, or walk and interact with their neighbors in the plaza at evening. Here is Queen's Hill Central Park, which actually extends and connects to five urban clusters as landscape infrastructure. When people take the light rail to Queen's Hill, the exit is a natural space intertwined with blue and green, and then it’s easy and free to go anywhere by driverless service vehicles or just walking along the nature.

Duration: 2022.5-2022.8

Location: Hong Kong SAR, China

GBA is a miracle, it occupies less than 1% of China's land area, but contributes more than 12% of GDP. GBA's economic and industrial development benefits from its competitive location, labor force, urban infrastructure development and high level of cooperation between cities. Relying on the natural advantages of the Greater Bay Area and national policies, the Hong Kong government is planning to build a new CBD in the Hung Shui Kiu area of the Northern Metropolitan Area.

In the construction of the previous generation of Hong Kong's new towns, the "city of sadness" Tin Shui Wai declared the failure of "single city". As the next generation of Hong Kong's new town, and close to Tin Shui Wai, Hung Shui Kiu's mission is to integrate into Shenzhen Bay as a new generation of urban construction and change the bad situation of Tin Shui Wai.Hung Shui Kiu New Development Zone is an area with great development potential and development needs. As the end point of the bay industry development axis in the Greater Bay Area, the commercial center of the future northern metropolitan area of Hong Kong, and the service center of Shenzhen Bay, Hong Shui Kiu will become a future-oriented coupled city to integrate these resources and opportunities.

In 2016, the Hong Kong government proposed Hung Shui Kiu New Development Planning in 2016.It emphasizes that through comprehensive planning and development, HSK will use a large area of abandoned agricultural land for brownfield operations, become a new generation of new towns in Hong Kong, and improve land use efficiency and environmental quality.

However, with the introduction of the new northern metropolitan area strategy and new social development needs, especially after the 2020 global pandemic. The 2016 plan has the following defects :A large amount of developable land resources in the area between Lau Fau Shan and Pak Nai,It is not integrated into the plan for HSK.The landscape potential of the coastline is not considered and the landscape potential of HSK is not fully exploited.Don't meet new development needs such as low carbon, technology industry, new logistics industry, etc.The relationship between rural and urban has not been reconsidered and studied.

Therefore, in response to these defects, the report innovatively proposes a new urban design scheme, including the new vision, the new strategy and the new urban design framework.

The coupled city is a concept as opposed to the single city. The concept of coupled lies in multiple dimensions, natural coupled, life coupled and service coupled. Natural coupled is built on the basis idea of a zerocarbon city, respecting nature as much as possible, and minimizing the damage to nature caused by urban development. The concept of life coupled is to build an intelligent and dynamic life circle. The vision of service coupled is to build a new service center, which includes community service centers in Tin Shui Wai and Hung Shui Kiu areas, business service centers in the northern metropolitan area of Hong Kong, and technology service centers serving Shenzhen Bay. Based on such urban vision, urban design strategies include top-down framework structures and bottom-up low-carbon block prototypes.Under the analysis and framework, the goal of the project is to identify and design the intersection of cities, green spaces and transportation, that is where the nodes are, and the coupled cities organized and grows around the nodes.

At each node, there are iconic public building and green infrastructure that connect the hung shui kiu to the surrounding community. The preservation of traditional villages is also a focus of the strategy. The village clusters, located in the city center and the coastal center, are protected by two circular areas and upgraded. Following the layout of ancient traditional villages, this natural philosophy is applied to the two circles.The principle and strategy of village protection is to preserve the original urban texture and the ancient philosophical and natural thought of the harmony between man and nature. Strategies and actions are divided into three main steps. The first is to create two ideal circular protected areas based on two concentrated village clusters. Then, sort out the types of buildings and land use elements in the circle, and clear up the temporary industrial buildings on the site. At the same time, strengthen the landscape value of nature reserves, reshape agricultural farming and agricultural landscapes, and utilize water systems and natural resources within the site. Then organize, extend and upgrade the layout, buildings and public spaces of the village. At the same time, new public buildings and public spaces were introduced according to the development needs of surrounding cities. New space functions include Education, experimental center, ecological housing, intelligent service.

SUPER MOBILITY CITY

URBAN DESIGN - PARCEL # 0101 OF BEIJING SUB-CENTER

Acadamic Individual Project

2020-2021 Graduation project

Instructor: Fei XUE, Wilson Rui QIAN

Duration: 2021.1-2021.6

Location: Tongzhou District, Beijing, China

The theme of the urban design is to create an urban framework for an infrastructure-oriented urban development model. It considers how to proactively build an urban society with equity of opportunities, diversity of choices, and inclusion for all communities and city users.The dynamism of contemporary cities is based on mobility. Unlike the logic of top-down planning, urban design proposals are shaped by a network of bottom-up urban mobility systems. Urban spaces include mobility, living, working, commerce, interaction, education and nature. Not limited by specific boundaries, the public sphere and social relations form a super-continuity driven by urban activity. Through this new continuum and unique experience of urban mobility, the diversity, complexity and creativity of the city is stimulated, resulting in a super-mobile slice of fun that enables an equity, diversity and inclusion urban society.

Nearly 5 years after the central government announced the construction of the sub-center, this graduation project focuses on the core area of the sub-center of Beijing City again, and uses the 01 group 01 block as the base to carry out urban research and urban design. The research area is located in the 0101 block of the Beijing sub-center, adjacent to the Beijing administrative center, covering an area of about 1.8 square kilometers. The comprehensive transportation hub of the Beijing sub-center is planned, including an underground high-speed rail/intercity station, a line 4 subway interchange hub, and a bus terminal. There is one last station, with complex transfer relations and complicated above-ground and underground space relations; the road traffic and conditions are relatively good, and it is close to the Sixth Ring Road; the total amount of above-ground development is 2.88 million square meters.

DIGITAL MOUNTAIN-WATER

URBAN STUDY—MOUNTAIN-WATER PATTERNS OF TRADITIONAL VILLAGES BASED ON MICROCLIMATE ADAPTATION

Award: 16th"Challenge Cup"National Science and Technology College of extracurricular academic competition, First prize Academic Group work with: Ranqian Liu, Jingyu Liu, Xuan Tang, Junyu Zhang Role in team: all the drawings and algorithm are done independently

Instructor: Ling Qi

Duration: 2017.1-2019.9

Location: Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, China

In traditional Chinese philosophical, humanity and nature are essentially connected. Therefore, all human activities should follow the laws of nature and achieve harmony between humanity and nature. A focus of traditional village protection is the village's most basic “oneness of heaven and humanity” mountain-water pattern.

This research innovatively combines traditional villages, mountain-water patterns, and microclimate adaptability research. From four batches of 169 Beijing-TianjinHebei villages included in the list of traditional villages in China, three typical traditional villages are selected as landscape patterns. As the research object, the observation and collection of microclimate factors and the construction of a typical landscape morphological evaluation system were carried out. This research group collects evaluation data of the best microclimate indicators such as wind environment, sunlight, temperature, and humidity through field observations. Through linear regression analysis of the data, a 3d model of the village layout and a parameterized model are constructed. The positive values are corrected for each other, the conversion relationship between the parameterized model and the microclimate factors is established, and a comprehensive analysis is finally made to set a better guide for the protection and construction of the village from the perspective of the village mountain-water pattern and the comfort of the landscape environment. From the perspective of the village mountain-water pattern and the comfort of the mountain and water environment, it better guides the village protection and construction, and guides and interacts with the traditional village protection for rural revitalization.

Through the algorithmic coupling of various microclimate factors and factors related to the mountain-water pattern (such as slope, spatial opening and closing, etc.), the original planning designer's experience in practice is quantified. It is also the wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people. Word-of-mouth experience with planning designers translates into scientific guidance. We integrate the research results into the grasshopper battery pack. Through the terrain, we can generate a map of village comfort in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region based on microclimate adaptability, and correct it with other site constraints such as slope, surface curvature, and coverage density. The final output is Recommended location.

In urban environments, people tend to use the streets that make them comfortable. The feeling is aroused through various spatial elements. In this study, we are exploring the value of each spatial element by comparing the percentage of spatial elements and exercise heat map.Computer vision techniques including Semantic Segmentation and Mask RCNN are used to support our research process. At the end of the research, we can speculate about the relationship between spatial elements and people’s preference for outdoor exercise on various streets.Further,machine learning will be applied to build a model to anticipate the potential high-quality street spaces.

In this study, we fit the current status of street activity to the typical active and inactive streets by capturing movement heat map data and population size distributions. The active space was analyzed with street view images, and the value of each spatial element was explored by comparing the scale and motion heat maps of the spatial elements. Computer vision techniques including semantic segmentation and Mask RCNN feature detection were utilized to obtain the proportional relationship of spatial elements in street space through the large sample yields the effect of spatial elements onstreet activity, which leads to the inference that spatial elements are related to people's perceptions of different streets' outdoor activity relationship between preferences.We look forward to continuing research on this topic, analyzing more sample data to continuously train the model, and using machine learning to obtain models with a universal evaluation system that not only gives smart recommendations for streets that are suitable for outdoor sports, but also for streets that are less active in the space.

Duration: 2021.8-2021.9, Location: Chaoyang District, Beijing, China

In the context of increasingly severe climate and environmental issues," "Aims to provide solutions and strategies for more comfortable outdoor spaces. Environmental performance simulation is an important means to analyze and evaluate urban design schemes. The performance optimization of schemes is usually based on the designer’s experience and subjective judgment. This research attempts to automatically drive the generation of urban design schemes through the process of environmental performance simulation, iteration, and optimization. Taking a commercial site in Beijing, China as an example, under the condition that the floor area ratio and basic business conditions are met, we try to optimize the environmental performance of the site. First, generate a parametric city design based on site conditions, use Ladybug and Butterfly to evaluate the generated design with UTCI and output map samples. Finally, a large number of parametric urban design schemes are evaluated through machine learning and genetic algorithm, and the urban design scheme with the best UTCI index is found. This method has a certain degree of universality, and has important reference significance and application scenarios in the initial stage of urban and architectural design. Research Framework.

With the global climate change and the increase of extreme weather, the flooding problem caused by heavy rain has become more and more serious. The flooding issue in the mountainous area has become a major challenge in the water environment sustainable development because of the complexity of its diverse site factors. It is hard to discuss multiple options and find the best scenario for the building construction in mountainous area manually in a short time. Excellent solution. And in response to the SDGs issued by the United Nations, this research attempts to adopt generative parametric building design combined with generative adversarial neural networks to solve the difficulty in the preliminary building design stage in mountainous area. Meanwhile, this research intends to take into account the impact of buildings on mountain rainwater runoff simulation on the Rhino+Grasshopper platform, and complete the building storm flood risk evaluation on the same platform. It would be helpful to reduce the complexity of the multi-platform data processing interface in future design work.

Location: Melbourne CBD, Australia

Throughout the history of human development, human emotions have gradually shifted from nature to virtual media. Nowadays, people in cities are more likely to generate emotions on electronic screens, whilst at the same time, they are becoming increasingly indifferent to natural landscapes. Following this trend, the future looks to be one of mechanised emotions: people will process emotions so efficiently that eventually, they will disappear in the world.

The "Emotion Parasitic" project attempts to reconstruct the urban landscape system and evoke original human emotions with a responsive mechanism. The idea here is that the shape of the green landscape will change based on people's emotional feedback. In this system, the two constituent elements of landscape and emotion are designed and influenced by each other. In order to discern the most efficient response mechanism, we utilised biological intelligence when completing the design.

The contemporary revival of historical and cultural districts has always been a complex and contradictory topic since the new century. Due to various historical and policy reasons, the physical space of historic districts has been unable to be demolished on a large scale, and the urban design of physical space was once limited to discussing the cycle of preservation, transformation, and demolition. With the rapid development of underlying technologies such as smart cities and augmented reality, urban space and urban design may have new definitions and new forms of interaction with the intervention of "virtuality". I believe that this brand-new urban perspective can inject new vitality and business forms into historical districts in a compatible and sustainable way, and continue to iterate forward.

The natural state of history and life is inherently complicated. In light of the current trend towards rapid globalization, The ”TALE ONCEMORE“ project tried to provide a recognizable and sustainable form of existence in the Shichahai historical district. Through the application of AR technology, people can be inspired to pay attention to the culture and legend of the city itself. Moreover, through a series of experiential constructions, people can rethink this change and reconsider people themselves. When on this spiritual journey, people can realize the charm and meaning of the city which are both present at a certain point whilst extending beyond time and space. Finally, the corner meets oneself by accident. After that, people can return to the complexity of life; maybe it will be different, maybe it will be the same, or it will never go back.

History is transient and eternal. In the future, I hope that new technologies can infuse the Shichahai historic district with new life and vitality. I tried to respond to the problems of the current venue by designing the narrative space. At the same time, I hope the story itself prompts people to reflect.

Location: Chaoyang District, Beijing, China

Location: Xicheng District, Beijing, China

City as the place for daily human activities occur is likely to be both real and illusory. In the Sanlitun community, planning that lags behind the economy has led to fragmentation and destruction of urban organizations.

The order of "Replay The Beat" hopes to create the essence of architecture and space based on parametric theory, and to provide simulation and reference prototypes in the architecture. The design interrupts the original urban beat. Moving the motorway down, the ground space is completely returned to humans, and the connection between the public spaces of the buildings is strengthened. Combined with the simulation of the optimal movement line of the pedestrian and the shortest path algorithm is used to generate the urban design plan. The new urban form will serve as a catalyst for the Sanlitun community, adapting to the new Sanlitun ecology in the future.

Location: Chaoyang District, Beijing

Humans build libraries to connect the past and the future. The library has always been a symbol of collective memory. It is a place to preserve human experiences, make them eternal and pass them on. From a certain perspective, the university library represents the character, temperament and connotation of the university. With the advent of the "Fourth Industrial Revolution", digital technology is constantly changing the way we live and learn. When our access to information is no longer limited to books, the library is no longer just a place to store and read books.

“LAB-LIB” redefines the library under the background of the demolition of the old library on the original site. Compared with the traditional library, it carries a larger amount of information and provides more diversified activity possibilities. A variety of spatial combinations also push teaching to an open and diverse new model. At the same time, more sustainable design, construction, and operation methods are used to enhance the experience of teachers and students in the library, improve the efficiency of the library, and let the old library in the university get a new life.

“Commemoration" means that people express their nostalgia for people (or things) through specific things or actions. It is a subjective psychological activity with emotional and spiritual bias. A monumental building is a material space carrier that commemorates a person or an event and carries a specific commemorative spirit and emotion. In today's cultural context, the connotation of commemoration is very broad. The commemorative buildings need not be and should not be clearly defined and specified. The commemorative and daily nature are not contradictory, and they can even be juxtaposed and intertwined. Commemoration is the preservation of history and the opening of memory. It can go beyond everyday scales and can be attributed to ordinary life. The creation of monumental architecture is not only a design method, but also a life attitude.
