01 URBAN PUZZLE Urban core district renewal and reconstruction design Location: Jinan, China Tutor: Zhao Liang, Liu Jiayi Summer 2019 Individual Work
The urban village is the product of the rapid development of Chinese cities. The rapid urban expansion surrounded the villages that originally belonged to the local villagers. The difference in the land policy and the value of the village culture made it impossible for the city to overthrow the village and develop the construction, so the urban village became an isolated island. There are a large number of local villagers and low-income migrant workers here. They seem to be unable to integrate with the urban population. Various factors separate all the villages in the city from the city. Jinan is one of China's important cities. In recent years, the construction of a CBD area designed by SOM in the east has begun. Yaojia Village is adjacent to the CBD and is the last urban village in the new district of eastern Jinan. Surrounded by newly built CBDs, Yaojia Village appears very obscure under the super high-rise. The main purpose of this design is to integrate Yaojia Village with the CBD area so that the urban village and the surrounding CBD can share the space. Through different forms of connection and different update methods, design and guide the sharing of the two regions, resulting in new energy belonging to this particular area.
