R OAD OF DR EAM S

K A S H GA R B R OA DWAY + UYG H UR S AD M I N IS T R AT IO N C EN T R E

K ashg ar, Chin a

The introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013 by the Chinese government had not only successfully strengthen the relationships between Eurasia and Africa , but also brought homogenity to architecture. In order to prevent globalization in architecture, it is vital to proof that each and every cities are distinct from one another. Hence, a city in China, namely Kashgar, which played an important role in the BRI is chosen.

The city of Kashgar, is located at the westernmost of China. With the current old and new cultural centres found in the city, the idea of having a Broadway is hence proposed in order to connect and find balance between both the cultural zones from the old town and the North Lake Ecological Park (NLEP) together.

The idea also comes from finding balances between urban and nature. Broadway is used as an architectural space and cultural spine as different types of key buildings and landscape will be proposed alongside, emphasizing on the city’s cultures and people.

Looking further into strengthening the Uyghurs community in Kashgar, where the city hosts around 70% of the Uyghurs ethnics in China, a Uyghurs Administration Centre (UAC) is considered having a great potential in becoming the first hub for the people.

UAC is expected to have the following programs:a. Adminstration centre b. Learning and leisure centre With walkable distance from the 8th Kashgar Secondary School, the centre also houses sport facilities to the community. Futsal court is hence proposed at the roof, allowing the students, locals and perhaps tourists to blend with one another.

It is known that the city gate and door played an important role during the ancient Silk Road as they are the only way for the travellers to get into the city. Hence, in terms of its design, UAC will also act as a gateway virtually while welcoming people from different places.

Lastly, the Kashgar Broadway and UAC is said to play an important role in redefining the impact of globalization and at the same time identifying the city ethos of Kashgar, in terms of its culture, history, geography and individual.

Proposed Concept Cultural / public buildings Existing cultural buildings Existing buildings

A series of cultural and public buildings are proposed in order to connect Old Town and the cultural and heritage zone of the NLEP. These buildings house for administration, arts and crafts, museum, theatre, mosque, market, education, economics, tourists, police station and healthcare Proposed Zoning Cultural nodes Low rise residential Medium rise residential Public & community Green infrastructures Education Business & tradings Mixed use buildings Factories & industries

All the green open spaces next to the train station, abandoned train arches and college are always exposed to the natural sunlight, providing a warmth outdoor experience to the locals and users

Live rp o o l, U nite d K ing d om Green City

Located at 1.6km north of Liverpool city centre, Pumpfields is a 0.35km2 light industrial area, witnessing the growth of the city for centuries.

green roof

The given site is full of characters and one of them is none other than the brick arches which were abandoned since decades ago after the removal of the railways. Besides, Vauxhall Road also house the City of Liverpool College, which the college emphasizes on courses such as dental technology, furniture making and civil construction skills. The college is also fully equipped workshops and laboratories, as well as motor vehicle repair workshops and industry standard paint spraying booth.

Most of the buildings proposed from the masterplan are equipped with green roof or solar panels and this results in a better and greener city, lowering the emission of carbon into the air

solar panels

green strip leads to pedestrian and cycle routes into city

Green Strips

Hence, we came out with an idea of transforming the area into an education hub, promoting the private cooperation to collaborate with the college. In this case, the students will not only have an exposure to the machineries and laboratories, but also revitalizing the site by encouraging more exchange activities among one another.

Green strips are used as a continuation of architectural journey, leading to the pedestrian and cycle route to the city and at the same time providing shades to the pedestrian while walking from destination to destination

To draw more people to the site, attached to the proposal is a rail station situated at the intersection between Great Howard Street and Little Howard Street.

The rail station is designed with self-sustainable programs, reflecting the design driven behind the whole masterplan. An open plaza adjacent to the rail station are added to emphasize the importance of permeability. The rail station is also designed with green energy. Solar panels are integrated to the design in order to ensure a greener city of Liverpool. Natural ventilation and material selection for the rail station were also taken into consideration throughout the design stage.

In addition, walking and cycling are likewise integrated as part of the city. Pedestrian walk and cycling path are designed around the rail station, together with bicycle stands and bus stops to promote greener transportation within Liverpool.

L AW OF JUNGL E

F R IN G E CA R P ET

B e rlin, Ge rmany The studio aims to create a hypothesis according to the existing laws of the given sites scattered around the suburban of Berlin. With most of them located next at the boundaries of Berlin and Brandenburg, their building laws are hence needed to be studied and take into consideration.

Each site is given with 500m x 500m site boundary as testing ground. Also, the sites are all different from one another. Hence, the hypothesis shall be proposed accordingly to the existing conditions of the site in terms of their programs, available plots, users, locations and not to forget, the existing rules acted upon.

Idealistic

With Proposed Law

More possibilities in both streetfront and backyard by engaging the communitites

To make full of the street front activities by bringing activities together

Current

Without Proposed Law

Subordinate structures were built randomly within their plot without restriction

Opportune remark which meet the demand of certain and specific season or occasion

One of the given sites, Frohnau, is located at the Reinickendorf of Berlin, Germany since 1910. It lies in the extreme northern part of the city and was created corresponding to the early 20th century garden city movement.

However, the planned community of Frohnau does not seem interact with one another. They stay in their houses most of the time, other than having garden work within their garden compound.

After spending days in the area, as well as thorough research, the site plan shows a lot of subordinate buildings and structures found at the site, and it came the hypothesis:“What would happen if all the subordinate buildings and structure are to be aligned at the streetfront, and what would happen to the backyard?�

And, I wonder..

P R OT ECT, R E S P ECT, EM P OW ER: S H IF T IN G M AT To n le Sap Lake , Camb o dia

With the environmental issues, ecosystem of Tonle Sap lake has been degraded and fish production has been dropped drastically. This causes health issues and poverty to the people living in Tonle Sap Lake as people spend half of their income on medication.

In order to solve this problem, a long term solution to slowly rehabilitate its ecosystem seems to be the way to go. Our design proposal is to focus in the area of the wetland and flood plain which contributed the largest part of the whole ecosystem. A series of ‘kit of parts’ design intervention and planning has been introduced for each zone. Each intervention is design with the focus to improve the ecosystem as a paramount.

Other than that, one of our visions is to increase the fish production, which we will have to provide healthy fish breeding ground.

Seasonal Fish Migratory Minimum water level Flood plain & breeding ground Wet season Dry season

During wet season, white fishes swim from different streams and river to Tonle Sap Lake, and eventually breed at the flood plain before dry season.

Flood Plain Distribution 0-5m 5-8m 8 - 10 m 10++ m & national roads Minimum water level

The water level of the lake could rise up to 10m, especially during wet season which fall on every May to September.

Issues & Outcomes The proposal is designated according to these issues to seek for a better living environment. Firstly, education needs to be improvised as there is a lot of negative behaviours conducted by the villagers, such as excreting human waste to the lake.

Secondly, research centre will be set up to preserve the ecosystem in order to give a healthy breeding ground for fisheries and increase its production. Lastly, healthcare needs to be promoted for increasing life expectancy of the locals.

Vegetation Distribution Flooded forest Flooded shrubland Grassland & paddy field Evergreen forest

Mangrove forest in the lake occupied 2.8% of the country’s total area, with 0.5% of it deplete yearly due to poor preservation.

All in all our design intention is to build a long term biodiversity future of Tonle Sap, the unique symbiosis relationship between the community and the lake is what we uphold in this competition. Clean water leads to healthier ecosystem and living, as a result the chain of unhealthy cycle will be broken.

Design Objective The design objective is ‘connecting’ the advantages of different zoning to improve the whole ecosystem. With the different nature and properties at each zone, we are proposing modular units that are designated based on the features of a dedicated zone. The proposed modular units will be connected with a ‘Giant Pipe’ which its main function is to filter the lake water into drinkable level and to transfer the research data from each zone to the research centre.

When these units and pipe work together, it becomes a system that is aimed to preserve and improve the ecosystem of Tonle Sap Lake.

Temporary Platform On our proposal, all the other zones would have its’ own temporary floating research platform with inbuilt monitoring sensors. The concept of the temporary floating platform is to allow a quick setup, easy transport and cost effective during the flood season. Local bamboo is use as the basic structure with a special woven fabric to hold them together. Beside as a research platform, it can be a temporary accommodation for stilt houses fishermen during fishing season, first aids stations and educational workshop for a large floating community.

Mangrove Reforestation As a long term project our design is to increase the lake’s productivity by creating more breeding ground and shelter for the diverse ecosystem using the natural plants (Lotus, Mangrove Tree, and Bamboo) and weeds (Common Reed, Sweet Flag, hyacinth and Eurasian Water-milfoil). One of our strategies is to use biodegradable pot which make out of a local weed (hyacinth) to protect the baby Mangrove through the wet season. The same strategy can help to expand the Mangrove forest in different location, the forest will help to prevent erosion from the floodplain as well as a habitat for diverse species (Leptoptilos Dubius, Macaca Fascicularis, Cirrhinus Microlepis, Scylla Serrata, Portunus Pelagicus and Penaeus Monodon).

Beside the Mangrove forest, the Natural Basins play an important role in keeping a biodiversity environment during dry season. Especially for non-migrating fish they breed and stay in the basins, the basin is an oasis to the local community in dry season.

SOCIAL FEST ‘14

U N DE R T HE B R ID G E : B R IDG IN G BO U N DA R IE S Yaro slav l, Russia

“Like the love for music and art, the love for nature and architecture is a common language that can transcend political and social boundaries.�

The landscaping and moulding of architecture that transcends timelessly is the type of architecture that resists; one that does not only withstand through generations but one that bridges communities.

Looked upon most often as merely a transitional space, the use of bridges and its surrounding context deserves a fair share of glory of how it is able to reflect the beginnings of a millenium old city. Of cultures and traditions, art that reveals is one that soulfully connects.

What better way to communicate internationally then through an international language of art and illustrations. The use of art generation helps blur boundaries between locals and international participants; art that speaks through erected fins that circumfere the river bank and bridge. The lyrical undulations of surrounding contours and how they influence the placement of these panels make for a scenic yet rhythmically ordered and architectured feature for the Tobulhinsky Bridge and Kotorosl River.

The establishment of a centralized hub for sporting and recreation activities and the coexistence of the arts will all coalesce to form a region of distinctive identity for Yaroslavl.

For it is art and recreation where the whole world unites, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.

Art Panels The frames that hold the art panels are proposed to be flexible and rotatable to create different perspectives. How certain panels are viewed at an angle provides a play of how certain featured art can be looked at. This indicates how enigmatic art can be looked at in different perspectives which is part of its beauty.

The different heights and slits between frames aim to provide visual transparency towards the river. Panels towards the middle of the bridge are deliberately spaced further apart to allow vision towards the Kotorosl River where activities such as boat rides during summer and icerelated sports during winter which reflect the culture of the Russians. The varied spacing also provide an architectural rhythm on how the panels are placed along the defined perimeter of the centralized hub.

Paints & Chemical

Our idea of adopting the origins of welding in Yaroslavl incorporates the use of panels or frames that vertically blankets the edge of the bridge as well as the riverbank. A skin-like pattern with the use of frames that are placed in a rhythmic pattern provides an avenue or a means of displaying artworks along the riverbank of the Kotorosl River as well as the Tobulhinsky Bridge.

Waste Panels

Encouraging the community and local artistes to put up their artworks will not only help instill a sense of patriotism but also enables people from various international backgrounds to better understand the arts culture of Yaroslavl. Apart from that, tourists are also given the opportunity to exhibit their artworks. This form of cultural and arts exchange is a unique feature that will be a hit for the local community.

This activity gives life to the local paint industries as well as place emphasis on the beginnings of paint industries in Yaroslavl. With readily available paint materials, both locals and tourists are able to portray and exhibit their talent in the form of visual illustrations.
