Cover Story About ten years ago, my friend took me to the location pictured. It was the city centre of Guangzhou, Zhujiang New Town. Unlike today's modern city, the city was still in the process of replacing the old with the new. There was a strong contrast in the cityscape, with high-rise buildings and urban villages. This was very shocking to me at that time and planted the seed of becoming an architect and urban designer. Because I wanted to be part of building our homes and creating a better living environment for people.

01.Food-topia Urban Design London, UK Graduate Project Instructor: Roberto Bottazzi, Tasos Varoudis Eirini Tsouknida, Vasileios Papalexopoulos, Margarita Chaskopoulou Team Work, 09/2022-09/2023

Food-topia is a community-based urban design project with a theoretical background derived from the European Union's EIT Food programme, focusing on the three segments of food production, distribution and consumption. This project focuses on enhancing supply chain management systems to tackle food desert issues by seeking to bridge the accessibility gap and improve urban health and well-being for affected communities through precision agriculture. Furthermore, the project is proposed to dwell and develop throughout London according to the city's needs.

In the implementation, Food-Topia's urban design strategies can be employed to shape new urban forms capable of adapting to changes resulting in collecting, analysing, and simulating data to produce iterations that can be adapted to the city's needs. Based on the data analytics that is overlapped, data is remapped to make iterations based on each supply chain classification integrating with the city's network to raise food desert issues. Restructuring the urban fabric process influences political, social, and historical aspects. In this case, access to food supply varies in London, from needing more retail outlets leading to household insecurities.

Food deserts exist in our cities

CONCEPT GENERATION

E-food Desert Index

-TOPIA [1] In classical Greek rhetoric, topos, pl. topoi, (from Ancient Greek: τόπος "place", elliptical for Ancient Greek: τόπος κοινός tópos koinós, 'common place').

[2] In mathematics, a topos (/ˈtɒpɒs/) is a category that behaves like the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space (or more generally: on a site). Topoi behave much like the category of sets and possess a notion of localization.

FOOD-TOPIA Where the food lies, which forms a community as place-maker which is located and connected throughout the city. These spaces are designed to address issues of food deserts and improve people's well-being.

Understanding food and London from data

Selecting sites by utilising machine learning

DATA CORRELATION KMEANS CLUSTERS

Looking through the food supply chain, it goes from seed to the table through three processes: production, distribution, and consumption.

In analysing data for food distribution, we intend to focus on the factories and storages where foods are processed and stored as well as the areas with more options for transportation. Population as a social factor in the area is also studied to analyse in influencing food deserts.

A n i n s p e c t t h ro u g h d ata i n fo o d consumption is studied to find out about areas that provides food to consumers, including supermarket, food retails, and correlating it with social impacts on health and income deprivation.

PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS PCA 0 LOW

The data is clustered to visualize their correlation by placing the data in a three-dimensional scale in the city. The elevated areas shown on the map are areas that has a high intensity of food deserts.

According to the K-means cluster heatmap, the clusters selected will be I and II, coloured green and purple on the map. Site is choosen based on the areas with more severe food deserts.

At the same time, these areas can be associated with low incomes, high crime rates and other negative social factors.

SITE SELECTION

The factors choosen that might affect food accessibility and food desert are choosen as datasets. The data will be divided by geographical, natural, and social factors. To visualize the correlation of the data in the London, we joint the selected data and created a preliminary correlation analysis.

The distribution of these two clusters were combined to select the two sites with different properties. Site one is located near Rotherhithe with many public spaces. While site two is located in Hammersmith, with more residential areas. These two sites have different characteristics to be analysed.

SITE DATA ANALYTICS

NETWORK GENERATION

we analysed the site’s typology of foodincorporated places, pedestrian volume, sunlight, visibility analysis, and social media trends on a micro scale. The datasets are overlapped to be evaluated and examined to identify areas that immensely influence the supply chain systems.

Firstly, the network's plan is started by analyzing the city network. Road connectivity has helped to decide access entry points of the food port from the roads. Using the wool algorithm, we proceeded to generate a large number of curves and find suitable paths and optimize the network on the site.

The "building height" data within the site is predicted by stacking the data from the train plots. By combining the data with geographic information, the site plot is discovered to have a linear height difference within the plot, and values greater than the median height are extracted from the 3D view for visualisation, a predicted machine learning data is used to determine the building height of the food port within the food system.

Our project vision is expected to grow across cities in the digital transition in agriculture to support better policy and planning design and address imbalances in food chains and agricultural markets. This could improve accessibility and

affordability to nutritious food through local markets or food cooperatives partnering with local farmers, and supporting agrarian practices in the city.

In order to use evolution algorithm to calculate the optimal solution for the functional distribution in the site, in this section we combine the new buildings with the existing ones to calculate the data for VGA. The formula is used to calculate our functionally optimal solution.

A cluster of each supply chain function is analysed to produce iterations with an evolutionary algorithm. Each supply chain function, production, distribution, and consumption, is individually analysed by calculating the weighted average of the visibility sunlight analysis to generate and choose suitable iterations that are most efficient in strengthening the supply chain system.

DISTRIBUTION

In food distribution, retailers could control their inventory of the nearby warehouses for stocking in storage.

While for food consumption, people can view nearby supermarkets and scan QR codes to get specific food information and consumers could browse online supermarkets and track packages.

CONSUMPTION

The software is divided into three sections: production, distribution and consumption. Each aimed for people with different demands. For food production, users can select modules that could be grown nearby, seek for suitable fruits and vegetables to be planted and use the robot to check the growth status.

02. 1934 Paper Mill Renewal Design of Industrial Heritage Guangzhou, China Graduate Project Instructor: Hanfei Qu Individual Work, 03/2021-05/2021

Under Guangzhou's policy of "retreating two into three"[1], factories along the Pearl River, including paper mills, are to be relocated to the suburbs. The industrial sites fracture history while showing the glorious industrial history and civilization on the ground, and it is their existence that continues the cultural lineage of industrial abandoned sites. At the same time, the reproduced relics are easy to stimulate individuals' identification and imagination of the places they once were. How to transform the testimony of the former glory of the old industrial heritage into the guide of the new life of the contemporary city, and how to connect the two different time vectors of the fractured history of the past and the future of the everchanging creative industry are the issues to be considered in this design.

In this design, reposition the paper mill with rich history with the focus on art, culture and economy to create a cultural and commercial complex. It is hoped that this approach will activate the Guangzhou Paper Mill area and link up the industrial heritage along the Pearl River.

[1] Secondary industries will be withdrawn from the urban area and tertiary industries such as commerce and services will be developed.“Retreating the second” means relocating, renovating or closing down industrial enterprises within and near the inner ring road that are heavily polluting, consume a lot of energy and have poor efficiency.

7

the industrial heritage of the riverfront The site is located along the back channel of the Pearl River, where a large number of historically significant industrial sites are located, and they are sometimes closely connected in the temporal dimension. However, the renovation of industrial buildings by the government or enterprises is point-to-point,

site problem & Solution

and there is a lack of connection with other industrial heritage along the Pearl River. The design builds connections between them in terms of space, sight lines and architectural language, which is conducive to creating a cultural tour path of industrial heritage along the waterfront.

Concern 1: How to keep the memories of local people while creating new experiences?

In its 87-year history, the Guangzhou Paper Mill has grown in size, and most of the surrounding residents were employees back then, and they have deep memories of the place. But with the relocation of the factory in 2010 and the demolition of three-quarters of the building in 2011. How should people’s common memories be reproduced?

Layer 1: Points, lines and surfaces are used to set up the landscape to suit the different qualities of the site, which is long and narrow in the north and open in the south.

Layer 2: The open roof structure is used to limit the temporary event space, where bazaars, pop-up events, etc. can be held.

Layer 3: Use the corridor to connect the north and south parcels to alleviate the problem of being divided by urban roads, and at the same time, respond to the surrounding environment as a landscape corridor.

Adding to the interest of the tour, people can appreciate the industrial buildings from different heights.

03. THE PROMENADE Art Museum Design Guangzhou, China Core Studio Project Instructor: Hanfei Qu Individual Work, 09/2018-10/2018 The site is located on the central axis of the city, where the large buildings and empty hard squares make the public buildings less civic friendly. What should it look like for an urban art museum?

In this design, I have tried to abandon the traditional modern urban construction model of large plazas with large signage and replace the large plaza with a landscaped park, with undulating landscapes and dense trees that do not allow one to fully perceive the shape of the building within the site.As one promenades through the park, one inadvertently walks through the shade of the trees into the grey space of the building, creating a continuous experience of inner and outer space, meeting the basic functional needs of the building while linking nature with the material world of human civilisation.The idea is to find a balance between nature, architecture and the city, creating a space where people can be in the CBD but still feel like they are in the middle of a forest.

Respond to the Historic Tower The site and the historic pagoda are located at opposite ends of the city's central axis, and the large volume of the public building separates the central plaza from its surroundings. By elevating the ground floor of the museum, it becomes an extension of the urban space. The first floor is made into a cladding building, creating a landscape that echoes the pagoda Park. At the same time, the de-boundary design weakens the majesty of the public building and allows art to become a part of the citizens' daily life.

04. Stepping up Collective Housing Complex Design Guangzhou, China Academic Project Instructor: Yunjiang Wu Individual Work, 04/2019-06/2019

Many of today's university graduates face the problem of renting accommodation, and with the diversity of working styles, they have very different needs for living and working space.

The site is located at the junction of the university campus and the city. The design is intended to provide students, graduates and teachers with a variety of options for living and working during the transition period, which caters for new forms of cohabitation[1].

In the design I have organised the shared work and living spaces together, weakening the boundaries between the two is dangerous, which possibly makes it difficult to separate work and life for people. However, the combination of the two can greatly increase productivity and save time and resources. To make use of the sharing of built space to minimise the burden of domestic labour, including work activities based on cooperation and assistance, such as joint cleaning, cooking, etc. To resist the fragmentation of domestic space and the tendency to divide it into 'family homes'.

05.BRIDGE ON THE HILL Dyeing Workshop Design Guizhou, China Competition Project Instructor: Juliet Ju Individual Work, 07/2020 The base is located in a natural Miao village in Danzhai County, Guizhou Province - Pai Pai Village, which is one of the birthplaces of the art of batik in China. In the past, women were trained in the art of batik, but nowadays they leave their elderly and children behind to work for a higher income, and the art of batik is gradually being lost.

In my design, using the dyeing workshop as a starting point, we want to give more space for young and old to do activities and feel nature in this place. It is hoped that this place will awaken people's awareness of nature, build a collective memory of the batik craft and the local people, and shape the cultural identity of the place.

The building consists mainly of an activity space for the old and young, and a batik display and experience area. The interaction between the old and the young, the batik and the people, the space and the natural landscape is accommodated under the flowing roof. The space for the old and the young is shaped in a "linear" way, linking the "surfaces" with specific functions, such as the water terraces, through a "linear" flowing space. The batik space acts as a bridge between the whole building, opening up the space and providing more opportunities for communication and dialogue between different groups of people. People can watch the whole process of batik immersively through the batik flow and build up a common emotional memory.

Push the volume to obtain more linear flow space in the limited field.

The rotating block makes one of the semi-enclosed courtyards face the natural landscape and the other the cultural landscape of the village.

Step 4: CONNECT

Step 5: INSERT

Step 6: FLOW

The two ends of the volume are connected by the corridor bridge to strengthen the connection between them.

Placing different functions in a linear space. The corridor bridge connects a series of processes of dyeing cloth.

The interior space is connected with various functions by continuous ramp, and people can walk freely among them.

ISOLATION The locals have abundant daily activities and traditional handicraft techniques, but being scattered around the village is not conducive to people gathering and communication, so a community center is needed to organize them.

Based on the research on the daily life of the local residents in Paidao village, and the schedule of dyeing workshop. People's daily activities are arranged on the longer flow line, and the production space of the dyeing workshop connects people's activity space in the middle. So that different people can perceive the traditional dyeing process during activities.

06. THE RED CABIN Ecological Toilet Construction Guangzhou, China Construction Project Instructor: Xiaojin Chen Group Work, 12/2019-06/2020 (research 30%, drawing 50%, modelling 30%, construction 20%) A large number of people in less developed areas still lack the most basic sanitation facilities. The construction of flush toilets not only requires connection to the municipal network, but subsequent use can lead to a waste of water and the huge costs associated with sewage disposal.

To find a solution to this problem, we built this restroom within the school to explore a new form of restroom through practice. The project takes into account the complete cycle of excreta collection, treatment and use, and selects the appropriate ecological toilet technology: water-free biological treatment and fertiliser type technology.

We hoped to promote the result of our project to broader rural areas as a fully functioning toilet system, as a newly updated urban technology. The designing process from construction to usage and production is a valuable early-stage experience of exploration and practical construction, which led me to realize that the study of architecture alone can be limited for solving urgent social issues; rather, it is more productive to branch out to other disciplines that may improve and enhance the research within our own field.

There are many small granary in the cottage, although they are not as advanced as the century-old barns that

have been moved and built, and their size is lovely, the structure is simple and complete, and the vertical sloping square bears the purlins and omits the melon pillars, which shows their skill. Although the sparrow is small, it is

complete. The four floor pillars slope slightly towards the middle, unlike the pillar body, in order to define a small

top and large bottom bucket-shaped silo body, like a pocket that can be closed and filled to the brim with food, without bursting even when it bulges. This is the rational wisdom of the building's conception - the use of minimal and simple materials to create a solid and useful barn that will not fall down for a hundred years.
