GREENLOOP MARKET 01

A Green Product Cycle That Meets The Needs Of Residents’ Lives And Reconcile The Land Use Conflicts Between Residents And Tourists

·Location: ShaoXing, China

·Duration: 08-10.2022

·Origin: Competition Program for the UIA-HYP CUP 2022

·Type: Academic Work, Urban Design, Individual Work

·Instructor: Ran Yang (bluesourcebeck@gmail.com)

This design aims to realize the sorting out of the tour routes within the site, while establishing a green product cycle that meets the needs of residents’ lives, and expects to use the site’s characteristic agricultural products as the starting point to reconcile the land use conflicts between residents and tourists in the process of urban and rural development. It provides new ideas for overcoming the bottleneck of China's homogeneous rural cultural tourism.

Site Selection: Anchang Acient Town

POPULATION

Food processing wastewater

The main river is crowded due to tourists and residents moving at the same time.

Crowded

Public space

Residents lack public space, so they continue to expand their private space outwards.

There is a single movement of tourists, and the tourism experience needs to be improved.

The site is lack of exclusive site exclusive memory. Products

The commercial space is obviously distributed along the river. The public space and the commercial space are highly overlapped.

Using The Tea To Reuion The Crowds And Build A Mixed-Age Community For The Futrue Elderly

·Location: Hangzhou, China

·Duration: 04-05.2022 (Field Research)

07.2022 (Program Design)

·Type: Academic Work, Urban Design, Individual Work

·Instructor: Yunwen Chen (chenyunwen@zju.edu.cn)

Through on-site interviews, inquiries about population databases, and literatures on sociology & psychology, I generalized the physical and psychological needs that the elderly will face in aging urban society into the desire for "role recognition", which refers to two aspects: family role (lack of family companionship) and social role (lack of social function).

Therefore, when carrying out specific project planning and design, fully consider the tea culture characteristics of the site and the use needs of people of different age groups, use the slope to deal with the height difference of the site, put in interesting public rest spaces, and create indoor and outdoor healing gardens , to help the elderly regain their roles in the family and society.

AN AGING SOCIETY Take Hangzhou, China As An Example PROJECT CONTEXT

DEMANDS: THE ELDERLY ARE FACING

Type1: Physical Needs Type 2: Psychological Needs

Conclusion : The aging process is accelerating golbally, especially in China

Conclusion: Desire for "role recognition", which refers to two aspects: family role (lack of family companionship) and social role (lack of social function).

BRIDY INN 03

Designed For The Cities' Guests

- Migratory And Resident Birds

With the rapid urbanization process, the migration routes of migratory birds will inevitably overlap with urban areas. West Lake, as an important stop for migratory birds, has now become a world-class scenic spot. The influx of people and the tall buildings make it difficult for migratory birds to find a place that can be stopped on the way to the habitat.

This design aims to respond to the above problems while creating a birdy inn for the migratory birds which allows people to interact with birds without disturbing them, and to solve the lack of public lavatory in the site.

Maintenance & interaction Strategy

WATER BOARDWALK

Through fun interactive installations, while reaping the joy of interacting with nature, people can effectively maintain floating wetlands and caisson breeding ponds, provide migratory birds with rest places, and sufficient food sources, such as small fish, insects, plant flowers and fruits.

As a food source and shelter for birds, plants are the main carriers of bird habitats. According to the allocation principle, specific tree species are selected for birds, and people participate in bird habitat construction through planting.

SCHEME SKETCH

The scheme derivation processes from sketchbook, take the planning and design of the Ecological wetland park’s promenade as an example.

This design hopes to leave a pleasant and natural waterfront space for the emerging high-density city. The Xihuyang Wetland Park will restore the memories of waterfront natural scenery and waterfront lifestyle to the residents of Huzhou.
