the main road dividing and separating the fabric into 4 different areas actually used to be a river .

A river that instead of separating people was actually connecting in various ways all the different parts of Old Shanghai.

Our team’s aim is that of bringing back the connection concept of the old fabric by following the old river’s path reconnecting the 4 areas of the Old Town of Shanghai.

1:100 perspective section On the left of this view we have a cross section of a duplex configuration.

Said units are linked together by a covered walkway.

On the left of these apt you can notice the “brise soleil” feature This is made of a metal “grating” with large openings.

The fixture is covered by vines that create a permeable green wall allowing light passing through but keeping a certain amount of privacy for the tenants.

1:60 accomodation section The result of our investigation actually resulted in the new structure, even though a megastructure, actually helping in uniting the existing social fabric rather than a subdivision on what already existing.

The new structure will actually greatly improve the local quality of life for the local population of the “old town”.

Bringing back the ground to the public the ground will become an area of public action and display, a continuous parade of personalities and bodies, a stage for a cyclical dialectic between exhibitionism and spectatorship, sellers and buyers.

Our proposal will connect differents parts of old city and new commercial buildings with elevaterd public ground, maximizing social interaction through unexpected mixing of functions.

Working as a social condenser our proposal would transform and maximise relationship beetween residents of this closed’’ community.

Our proposal is to try and implement a sort of equilibrium between the desires of maintaining the “historical” social fabric whilst implementing a modernization strategy via commercial private enterprise. In short our aim is to try and give a new quality of life to the area by creating a multilayer layout where there will be a connection between different parts of the old city and new commercial buildings with an elevated public ground.

The aim here is to maximize social integration through an unexpected mix of various functions, incorporating a sort of “awe-inspiring surface” over which you can find public parks.

A continuous linear form running from east to west. There will be distribution of services, each zone would have a set of programmes which would accommodate facilities missing from the fabric around it and two similar programmes would not be more than 5-7 minutes apart from each other. The Obus would be hybrid in nature, containing mixed use facilities and communal spaces, with the ground floor being public and the other levels semi-public and private. These dense residential living and large-scale public programmes such as health care, education, sports facilities will be hosted along the all lenght of the obus Additionally the new structure will house a whole range of activities, programs not presently there and from which the population will greatly benefit from.
