AWAKENING A Harbour Urban Corridor Transformation INDIVIDUAL WORK DATE OF PROJECT:2023.6-2023.12 TUTOR:Junzhuo Zhang LOCATION:ST.petersburg,Ruassia

"St. Petersburg always seemed like an unlikely capitol, rising out of the frozen fog and flooded swamps of the Neva River on the western edge of Russia."

--ST PETERSBURG: Three Centuries of Murderous Desire

St Petersburg has witnessed the historical transformation of the land from Tsarist dictatorship to modernity, where a resilient and resistant people have fought every kind of adversity. Above this incredible cast of extraordinary people stands the greatest and most compelling of them all - the dauntingly dysfunctional city itself, rising out of the mist.

A new era from which Russia's port dreams are waking up.

Background Introduce -Old Industrial Afterglow

Program Study

Precedent Study

As an old industrial powerhouse, Russia has backward production technology and high production costs. Although Russia's industry has initially achieved Industry 4.0, its overall production technology is lagging behind the international advanced level, with higher production costs, which also affects Russia's international competitiveness.

Under the afterglow of old industry, the elimination of old industrial production capacity has resulted in a large amount of waste. Due to the unreasonable industrial structure, the phenomenon of resource waste is very serious.The programme attempts to study the adaptive use of industrial surplus capacity in other cities to identify theories appropriate to the base.

As a modern port, port equipment is an indispensable material and technical basis for the port to engage in loading and unloading transport production, and is an important part of the quality assurance system for port production.Handling equipment, auxiliary equipment, and communication centres are analysed for their values, thus better planning can be made for the design of port improvements.

Site Survey

Russia is a vast country with a large number of industrial areas St. Petersburg is the most developed region in Russia in terms of food and textile industry.

Being a cold zone country in the northern hemisphere, the location of ports and industrial zones in Russia is closely related to the climate, and shipping routes have a significant impact on the choice of ports. St. Petersburg is one of the few cities with both port and industrial capabilities.

Brooklyn Shipyard Renew As one of the oldest naval shipyards in the U.S.,the government proposed the Navy Yard zoned as a high-tech experimental area, turning it into an eco-community for the tech industry with a strong focus on Industry 4.0 modern industry.

Boston seaport transformation The Boston seaport has been continually reshaped since the 1800s, change the muddy parking lots full of abandoned docks.

Today, it is being reimagined again in a rapid and remarkable transformation that planned to be a vibrant urban neighborhood with proposed projects including a mix of uses and open spaces, establishing new urban blocks .

Sevkabel Port Project The Sevkabel PORT project is a process and represents the development perspective of the entire coastal industrial zone of this area. Former industrial site turns into a multifunctional cluster for everyone, and a place where the city meets the sea.

Architecture Structure Technology Research

The birth, development and current state of the port of St Petersburg are closely linked to the industrial development of the city, as a microcosm of time, carrying the responsibilities of different eras, bringing hope and distress, and containing the richness of the emotions of every generation of Russians.

Original site-based harbour design needs to fully respect the original facilities and functions of the site.

For reasons of structural strength and cost, port equipment and original facilities are mostly steel structures.

By analysing the common steel structure and organisation of the site, the subsequent design will follow the original design style of the base, so that the original site and the new building will get along with each other harmoniously.

"In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan; Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter Long ago. " --- "Doomsday Book" Christina Rossetti

In the future environmental destruction crises always come unexpectedly. When the future human survivors face the crisis of survival in the wasteland, how to continuously integrate resources, solve their own food and clothing problems, restore industry and other equipment so as to fight against a variety of unknown suffering, so as to make themselves better to live is the core difficulty.

Using the environment to build integrated shelters is the best solution for sustainable survival.

Background Anylsis

Environment of Armageddon Human civilisation will be affected if the resources on which it depends for its survival are seriously depleted. Failure tokeep up with productivity will result in the failure to solve basic food and water problems, and daily life and productiororocesses will be affected. The small number of survivors would have to face a situation of extreme scarcity of resourcesincluding water, trees, natural gas, coal, oil, steel, cement and other materials that are essential for the construction ohuman dwellings.

Water scarcity is one of thec auses of conflict and political instability.

Reducing the amount of water available for use and increasing the amount of wastewater can make it easier for diseases to spread. water scarcity

Problem Seeking South Korea's population is mainly concentrated in Seoul, resulting in Seoul's highpopulation density.The scarcity of land resources in South Korea led to a lack of local agriculture. South Korea needs to import large quantities of food, and the prices of goods are also relatively high, which also leads to the fact that the pressure of life of South Koreans wil be greater.Also,missile crisis between South and North Korea never stops.The future of Korea is at stake.

We envision that one day Korea will experience an unprecedented catastrophe that will result in a drastic decrease inpopulation and an extreme lack of resources, and how it will reuse and redistribute its resources in an apocalyptic environment.

Solutions Proposal As humancan use existing materials to build a shelter for the apocalypse. We will divide it into two major areas: post-disaster reconstruction strategy and Sustainable organisational composition of shelters.

Projected analysis of the survival reconstruction cycle

During the process of urban old city renovation and demolition, a large amount of construction waste will generate.

Structural Forming

In the doomsday environment, materials that can be quickly processed and used are selected for structural combination, and a generalized structure is built to solve the survival and life problems of the doomsday community.

Structural Detail Analysis

Doomsday conditions where people use the site's original materials as the basis for reconstruction in combination with the site's original ruins of the Shelter.

The structural stability of the base timber based on the triangular steel frame is lapped to stabilize the support and is combined with the rope rope deployment to form an expandable and rapid temporary shelter.Thus can imitate the tension structure to form a telescopic folding frame.

"You die three times. The first is from the body to leave this world, the second is when you are forgotten by memories and the third time really never comes."

--Coco.Pixar Animation Studio.2017

In the future we have a more urgent desire to be remembered by future generations in addition to expecting longevity.The technology of the future can fulfil the desire to be preserved in multiple dimensions and to be known by those who come after them. Memory preservation in the meta-universe by incorporating digital graveyards.

Burial history development

Analysis of the Site

In the torrent of history, human life and death has been something that human beings have been unable to control and avoid since ancient times,From the gii civilization period to modern society, a variety of ideas about death and ways to commemorate the dead have evolved

Our base is located in Paris, France, which has a very special religious culture and rich humanistic feelings.From the comparison we can find that as the city expand more and more cemeteries are needed. the newly built publiccemetery is growing bigger and bigger but still can fit the need.

Also because of the urban land shortage buyinga cemetery for oneself is becoming more and more expensive Hence, we choose the Montparnasse Cemetery as the design place,trying to find a way to solve the cemetery land bust problemand make the cemetery affordable even become a place which can store a person‘s life value foever.matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

B.C.3500 The ancient Egyptians believed thatafter death one could enter the eternal world. But not everyone can get in.

B.C.1500 The Mayans had the idea of a soul, "He disappeared like a white flower," replacing the idea of a soul with a visible physical phenomenon and giving it a flower-like shape.

B.C.460 On the issue of death, in addition to physical torture, the ancient greeks also concerned about the part of mental torture,but also spiritual torture.

A.D.1837 "There has been a marked change in the attitude of actual Europeans towards death. Grief and remembrance of the dead grew heavier and heavier

With the advent of the in the face of death, westerners Internet and the sudden onset of the pandemic. in addition to the body, They also pay Cemeteries are rapidly more attention to saturated and crowds are not easy to gather, the psychological so online funerals are and spiritual being developed aspects.

Perhaps the future of burial will shift to digital burial, with data storage centers that retain memories and belongings of the deceased.

Present situation of the cemetery The function of public cemetery nowadays:As European cities have a prounded funeral culture, many celebrity are lburied in the cemeteries and make the cemeteriy more likely to be a CELEBRITY MUSEUM and CITY GARDEN.As a result, the local residents like to take a walk and get relaxed in the cemetery.Also,visitors come to Paris can not only enjoy the long history and exllent artistic achievement of France, but also can feel the native humanities culture in the cemetry.

Data on European Births and Deaths

The three deaths of people

According to the survey, with the progress of The Times, the population broke out in the middle Ages after the plague and war.

Up to now, we have been in the peak of death, and the cemetery is tight year by year.The statistics are more intuitive and the cemetery situation is getting tighter over time.

In the history of death there has always been a saying that the dead die three times, until the last one is forgotten Physiology The first is when the body ceases to function,death is declared at the physiological level.

Program Concept

Site Information

Physical death is not the end of a person's life, and the three main data stores in the virtual part of the digital cemetery can preserve the experiences or stories the deceased wanted to leave behind, leverage the digital legacy on social platforms, and create new and better tribute spaces to perpetuate the presence of the deceased and avoid a third death.

Montparnasse Cemetery is located in the center of Paris, and its architectural texture is rich in the characteristics of classical French gardens, with a strong cultural atmosphere

Sociology The second is when the body is consigned to the grave,which means that the person has lost social attributes.

True Death 1760 1780 1800 1820 1840 1860 1880 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020 2040 2060 2080 2100

The third is that moment,onetime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.

Program Concept

Logical framework Based on the preliminary investigation and analysis of burial history, life-and-death data and purpose status quo, as well as the functional requirements of different groups for cemeteries, the following

Change of Connection The envisioned digital cemetery could effectively stop people from dying a third time by storing various data, creating a more realistic tribute environment, and many other features.

logical framework was obtained by integrating the design concept of the project, and the workflow of the whole project was introduced. As for the three deaths, the core concept of this project, we comprehensively considered the actual situation and the needs of the population and got the solution. Through the digital cemetery system, each function is distributed in different unit blocks generated by the concept of Babel library, and the cemetery is generated by cellular automata and WASP technology. Cemeteries will carry the memory of the dead and the memory of the living, and perform a variety of functions in the city Typical problems

Finally, a digital cemetery with memorial, data storage and visiting functions will be created to provide services for the living and meet the long-cherished resting place of the deceased. In order to meet these functions, we can reduce the occupation of urban space and assume the functions in the city

In the first step, we completed the preliminary data analysis of the cemetery and the selection and analysis of the base. Sufficient preliminary research led us to the core idea of how to build a digital cemetery -- about the three deaths of people.

With the idea in mind, we made a preliminary idea of the project, and designed functions in different directions for the living and the dead to serve both. Combined with the analysis of the site, the next task of the project is defined -- the design of each functional unit that constitutes the cemetery.

Cemetery culture has existed for a long time, and religions in different times have different cultures for cemetery and death. Therefore, we choose to focus on the target culture of the site, extract local history and religious culture characteristics, and construct the design unit structure

Metacellular Automata

Generation Logic of Virtual Digital Memory Tower Boundary

The CA mechanism has the ability to simulate the spatio-temporal evolutionary process of complex systems and also provides an organic method for cell expansion. Based on the basic rules of CA, we use the rabbit plug-in to iterate the cells layer by layer, transforming them from 2D to 3D, resulting in an infinitely scalable tower of discrete memory cells.

We intend to generate the outer boundary of the discrete tower that houses a wide variety of cells using the principle of metacellular automata. Therefore, we extracted the actual size of the chosen base, Montparnasse Cemetery, and created an equiproportional original grid for cell growth, and set up initial growth rules for cells based on CA principles, as well as a series of qualifying rules for subsequent screening of the desired morphology, such as requirements on the number of single and total cells in the final morphology, limits on the number of repeated layers, etc.

Borges described the Babel Library as a series of interlocking hexagons, each with four bookcase walls and two walls leading meaningless, can be endlessly repeated.One of the free sides of the hexagon leads to the vestibule -- how is that possible?

Many of the stories told by our narrators are reminiscent of endless, desolate hexagons, endlessly repeated, inspiring reverence for the God who created them and despair for the lives trapped within. But this is only possible if the hexagon

be able to span the tiny distances that separate them from their neighbors. In their lifetime, they may be no more than a bookshelf away from others that they will never be able to reach.

The new site uses a pseudo-random number generation algorithm to generate seemingly randomly distributed books without having to store anything on disk. An algorithm is needed that is regular enough to create the same block of text in the same place every time, but random enough that no user will notice the pattern moving from one page to the next.

With a few exceptions, there is no real randomness in the computations -- a random number generator is just a deterministic equation that produces a different value each time starting with a different input. This input is called a random seed, and the computer's system time is usually used to ensure that the value changes. By using the "locations" of books (hexagons, walls, shelves, and volumes) as random seeds, it is possible to create a fairly large library, ensuring that the same pages appear in the same place every time.

Theoretical Principles

An exploration of the open and closed nature of hexagonal spaces, with different sides treated as open or closed, the dotted line indicating open without walls and the solid line indicating with walls. When one side is open, it forms a closed room; when two sides are open, it forms a corridor for traffic; when three sides are open, it forms a wall or traffic hub; when four sides are open, it forms a wide corridor; when five sides are open, it forms a square and a wall; when all six sides are open, it forms a square where traffic converges. The above hexagonal spaces are arranged to explore the relationship between room and traffic, open space and closed space.

The hexagonal monoliths are connected in a variety of directions and in a variety of ways, resulting in a combination that is rich in variation and has a strong sense of spatial growth and a high availability of space.

Composite Monomers After the design of the simple monoliths, we made more complex combinations and cuts of the hexagonal columns, in order to obtain the different functional spaces and multifunctional spaces we wanted, we made some combinations of the simple monoliths as well. After the study of the monolithic operations, we have selected the following complex monoliths. Both translational spatial images and complex functions, which guarantee to some extent the overall functional stability when composing the overall building.

Combination of Monomers Once the designed monoliths are available, the next step is to classify the monoliths according to their function and the way they are cut into hexagons, and then to combine them according to the classified monoliths to obtain simple assemblies with different functional spaces. There are some combinations that do not meet our design requirements in terms of spatial structure or function, so it is necessary to select the right combination to ensure that the combination chosen can perfectly realise its function and to avoid a combination with a wrong function or strange structure.

On the basis of the simple assemblages, we have put together a number of complex fixed assemblages that are relatively more complex and have a greater variety of structures and functions. These assemblages have a clear functional role to play in the overall scheme and pay more attention to the aesthetics of the structure and the emotional expression of the solemnity of the cemetery. They are an important part of the design.

Complex Fixed Combinations After making simple monomer combinations, we made more complex combinations of simple monomers. We have combined various functional monoliths into a single combination of corridors,

This relatively fixed combination assumes relatively fixed functional requirements, such as a resting space within a large space or a special combination of digital storage space and mourning space. The fixed combination guarantees the stability of these special spaces and allows the expression of the emotions of the people who use them to be expressed as much as possible.

Structural Components

Profile

The project is made up of two main components: a physical underground and a virtual above-ground space.

The physical part of the ground floor is mainly responsible for the physical functional spaces such as the transfer to the virtual space and the equipment rooms.

The above-ground virtual space is mainly responsible for the tributes, memories and visits during the tomb sweeping process.

The sections show mainly the structure of the solid part of the ground floor and the virtual part of the ground floor.

The ground floor is divided into eight levels, with the first level being used for reception and conveyors, and the second to seventh levels for the belongings of the deceased, which families can choose to enter to pay their respects. The eighth basement level is mainly used for equipment rooms.

There is no limit to the number of levels of virtual space above ground, which can grow indefinitely according to demand. There are three main categories of space: mourning spaces, transport spaces and plazas.

During the day it is predominantly white stone and at night it is predominantly metallic, creating a different atmosphere through the different textures, solemn and dignified during the day and shining like stars at night, bringing comfort to the families of the deceased.

The central pillar of light reaches up to the sky, signifying the soul of the deceased entering heaven and bringing comfort to the family of the deceased LOGIN

"Architecture is a creation of spaces and objects. Let architecture stay within architecture."

--Valerio Olgiati’s Ideational Inventory.

If it is possible to do architecture that is completely new, it would be a creation. Conventional experience or consensus prevents the possibility of getting something completely new. In addition to creating spaces and objects, architecture is also concerned with finding order in spaces and objects, the perception of spaces and objects, and the activities of people in and around spaces and objects, and so on.

Novelty is as important to architecture as it is to academia, and a campus activity centre that meets the functional needs of the school and exists in a new and unreferenced form will be the highlight of the campus.

BACKGROUND ANALYSIS

Primilitary Study

With an increasing number of new students every year, there is a need to expand the campus. There is a large area of reserved space between the side of the campus library and the sports ground, and there are plans to build a landmark campus activity centre.

The campus buildings are predominantly traditional and modern, and the Campus Activity Centre needs to be distinctive as a campus landmark while echoing the surrounding buildings, conveying the campus culture and meeting the needs of the students and teachers on campus.Also, the original buildings on campus lacked vitality and the spaces were generally stagnant, so the spatial and stylistic design of the Campus Activity Centre was expected to be innovative.

Studying the historical development and change of building structures, it can be found that building load-bearing structures have the convergence of the times.

Building structure has always focused on structural concepts and principles with an engineering mindset. While the history of the development of building structure technology is combined with historiography to show the whole process of its dynamic development. It not only covers the explanation of the basic principles of different types of structures, but also involves in-depth interpretation of multiple perspectives such as material selection, invention, historical figures, system construction and regional culture.

Aerial axonometric analysis The entire building is supported by unconventional loadbearing massive columns that float above the ground.

The three main columns converge towards the centre, providing sufficient tension and pull to ensure load-bearing capacity and structural stability, while the smaller columns are arranged to follow the same force pattern principle to strengthen the support.

This slanting column structure can provide strong support with a small number of columns, which makes the efficiency of building space use greatly increased. At the same time, different directions of inclined columns form rich spatial relationships between them, increasing the interest of space use.
