Renovate Rooftops In Guangzhou's Urban Village
- Test a Green Vertical Traffic System on Rooftops
In Guangzhou, China, many urban villages persist due to their low housing costs, attracting a large population. However, these areas face significant challenges, such as severe traffic congestion caused by narrow streets and limited natural light. Inspired by these issues, I chose Sanyuanli Village, a highly representative urban village, for a transformation project.
My design involves creating a vertical transportation system on the rooftops to connect 33 adjacent buildings and installing elevators within the structures to improve accessibility. This solution aims to alleviate ground-level congestion by relocating non-motor vehicle parking to the rooftops, where residents can also dry clothes, socialize, and engage in recreational activities, fostering a vibrant and friendly community environment.

Site Analysis Collage
According to the analysis, Guangzhou Sanyuanli Urban Village has many problems. The most severe problem is the random parking of non-motor vehicles. I am going to relieve this problem. So, I started designing the vertical transportation system on the roof.
Roof Design Road Network Transport System
I have extracted eight functions designed in the urban village: pavilions for motorbikes and bicycles to park, clothes hangers for people to dry clothes, seats for rest, etc.
Pavilion01
Maximum capacity: 3-8 people
Number of parked bicycles: 1-8
Pavilion02
Maximum capacity: 3-5 people
Number of parked bicycles: 1-4

This is the final design for the Sanyuanli Village rooftop. The space allows residents to park non-motorized vehicles, dry clothes, and engage in social activities, alleviating congestion at ground level. The rooftop creates a closer connection with nature and the city, enhancing the community's overall happiness.

Recognizing the growing emphasis on body wellness and emotional health, I aim to design an innovative and versatile Metaverse gym in the heart of Glasgow. This cutting-edge space will combine traditional physical exercise areas with brain-sensory activities tailored for individuals with disabilities. Participants can connect and compete in immersive exercise challenges through interactive glass screens, where whisky-bottom digital avatars foster engagement and reduce the monotony often associated with conventional gyms.
This concept seeks to attract young people, promote social connections, and improve overall well-being by enhancing interactions between users and their digital avatars.
