CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF ABU DHABI CRUISE TERMINAL

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF ABU DHABI CRUISE TERMINAL SITE & DESIGN CONCEPT

A new Cruise Terminal in Mina Zayed, Abu Dhabi was commissioned by the Abu Dhabi Port Company (ADPC) to meet the growing demands of the vision of the Port as the passenger gateway into Abu Dhabi. Recognizing the forecasted demands, the terminal is a bold, new gateway that rises in scale to match the ambitions of the city. We were to consider the reuse of the existing structural frame for the base of the concept design. The terminal’s flowing tensile roof interweaves with the steel structure of the existing buildings on site, softening the industrial feeling of the wharf. The building may bring to mind a traditional dhow – its graceful sail coupled with ribbed wooden hull – or the waves and wind of the seas.

URBAN REGENERATION OF KUNSHAN

URBAN REGENERATION OF KUNSHAN DESIGN STRATEGY

Kunshan is located within the urban areas of Shanghai and Suzhou. Currently, Kunshan has become the strongest economy in mainland China for county-level cities. Kunshan Old Town is located in the very center of the Kunshan core area. The population of old town is around 125,000, among which 32,000 are migrant workers.

Currently, Kunshan city structure is showing skeptical development. In addition to the main city centers in the North, South, East, and West, there are four sub-centers, including Qiandeng, Zhouzhuang, Huaqiao etc. In the west is residential development, ecological, and recreational; in the north, an upgraded integrated community is developing; in the south is a developed transport hub and business support; the east area focuses on the development of a business center and government center; the main city center is currently developing with commercial, residential, and civic services. With the City of Kunshan expanding and becoming increasingly significant, a more influential core increasing demand for the main city center.

Recognize the value of islands west/east to Cangji River, establish them as the cultural core of downtown area. They are interconnected to each other and also connect to the overall green ring.

Tinglin Road - North/South Renmin Road as Main Boulevard of Downtown Kunshan

Recognize the value of islands west/east to Cangji River, establish them as the cultural core of downtown area. They are interconnected to each other and also connect to the overall green ring.

Discharge the traffic from downtown to its surroundings. Strengthen North-South connection, Maintain East-West connection.

Recognize Canals’ value, treat Canal as a backbone of downtown area. Reconnect people with Canal by refunctioning the Canal and identifying the character.

Protection of historical and cultural attractions, greenbelt, community park nodes, waterfront space for the line to establish distinctive continuous circulation and green network

URBAN REGENERATION OF KUNSHAN EXISTING REGULATORY PLAN

URBAN REGENERATION OF KUNSHAN PROPOSED LAND USE

Existing Regulatory Plan has made changes based on preserving and improving the downtown lifestyle and quality of life. The Regulatory Plan primarily aims at:

This Land Use Plan is a revised proposal based on the existing regulatory plan.

Changes are made regarding road network, green network, commercial and residential layout. The main changes include:

• Defining a tourism zone with Tingling Park as its core • Establishing a major commercial core at the crossing of Tinglin Road and Lou River • Optimizing the existing road network, mitigating the current traffic pressure. Connect N-S and E-W directions • Adding more open space while still improving the consistency of the greenbelt

• Establish a consistent waterfront greenbelt at a minimum of 5-8 meters

REGULATORY PLAN CHANGES 1

One roadway along a canal is sufficient; the other side of the canal should be used for pedestrian access.

2

Historic buildings should be visible and easy to get to, so green or blue open space, wider spaces between buildings, and / or limited access roadways should be used to increase visual and physical accessibility.

3

Concentrate residential uses, instead of providing in small pieces, to create better urban neighborhood environments with green space, convenient goods and services, and community centers.

4

Adopt a mixed use land use designation to allow flexibility in future development to meet market demand, and to encourage diverse urban styles of living and working. A mix of uses can be some or all of the following urban land use types: civic, cultural, retail, food & beverage, entertainment, housing, hospitality, offices, service, education, and / or recreation land uses.

5

Enlarge public service ‘campuses’ (such as hospitals, schools, senior citizen homes) by anticipating expansion in the future.

6

Enlarge key green open spaces to better serve the resident and working population.

7

Commercial / Retail services within 5min walking radius.

12 DENISE HUANG

• Cultural islands for major recreational / tourism use except West gateway plot (commercial) • Cancel road from one side of East West stream and North South stream • Plot North South to Houbeiren Museum as green space to establish an “emerald necklace” north to the Lou River • Modify / add small roads to mitigate traffic congestion

13

URBAN REGENERATION OF KUNSHAN KEY AREA DESIGN STRATEGY

The sports facility and outdoor fields currently on this large ‘shopping mall’ site will be relocated to and expanded on the city islands to make higher and better use of this core area land. The redevelopment of this site brings an opportunity to integrate the mall visually and functionally into the fabric of the Old Town. Its scale and architectural expression is more appropriate for a suburban or new urban area, and therefore needs scale and character adjustment. This can occur when the mall needs updating to remain competitive, and should include renovation of the exterior sunken plaza to create a stronger presence at street level through pavilions or other structures, grand stairway / amphitheater-like access and activity, and increased landscaping. The rear of the shopping mall should become more ‘porous’ including a higher quality visual environment and more entry points, as part of the reconstruction of the entire block.

The mixed use development on these core blocks could have a character similar to a Daning Lifestyle Hub (see images) combined with a Xintiandi-scale marketplace, with small scale streets, walkable environment, low / moderate scale and green space opening onto the canal to the north. The mix of uses should include specialty retail, galleries, food & beverage, entertainment, alternative housing types, SME offices and lofts, continuing education / creativity center and overall, a character different but complementary to the planned mixed use development on the north side of the main East-Well canal, identifying the North Old Town from the South Old Town areas.

URBAN DESIGN OF NANHUI NEW HARBOR CITY

URBAN DESIGN OF NANHUI NEW HARBOR CITY URBAN FORM

Situated in the industrial zone of Shanghai, Nanhui New City, formerly Lingang New City, was conceived as a utopic destination of lifestyle and business. Nanhui began construction in 2003, designed

by German architects GMP, and is scheduled for completion in 2020. The area is growing rapidly, and the urban design competition sought to propose new guidelines for the harbor from the first zone of development in the business district, with focus on select key areas, including six buildings surrounding a new metro station, a skyscraper on the West Island along the main axis of entry into the site, and the ShanLan Pedestrian Street.

URBAN DESIGN OF NANHUI NEW HARBOR CITY SITE CONDITIONS

Nanhui New Harbor City is located in the South-East corner of the Yangtze River and the Hangzhou Bay interchange from the city of Shanghai. It consists of 50 km within a planned area of 311.6 square kilometers. The downtown area of Nanhui New Harbor City (central area) is conveniently located about 65 km away from Shanghai, about 27 km from Pudong International Airport, approximately 32 km from Yangshan deepwater port, 18 km from the planned Pudong Railway Station, and about 10 km from the ring road on the outskirts of Pudong.

The existing architecture consists of office buildings designed by GMP. The facades are solid and heavy with the same tower and podium treament, giving the structures a flat appearance.

A ‘ripple’ of four concentric bands form the concept and structure of the harbor, with the base inner ring district as the Urban Life Center, followed by the Ecological Park and Civic Center, and most outer district, the Residential Living Center, with amenities for university residences, and the accumulation zone of the industrial park. The planning of Metro Line 16 will directly connect to downtown Nanhui New Harbor City. In addition, Shanghai’s Metro Line 2 East extension will reach Nanhui’s Six Towers Square and will enable travel to and from Pudong International Airport.

PLANNING & DESIGN OF SOUTHWEST MEDICAL CITY SITE

Luzhou Medical College Hospital currently serves a population of more than 20 million people, and will be expanding to a nearby site of ​​over 1 million square meters, with a target proposal of 5,000 inpatient beds, and between 10,000 to 12,000 daily visitors, making it the largest hospital in the world when completed. The design competition included constructive planning of 60 clinical and medical departments.

With 1.1 million outpatient visitors per year, and 7.4 million inpatient visitors per year, the hospital will include medical treatment, teaching facilities, research centers, and prevention and rehabilitation clinics, becoming one of the most significantly intregrated hospitals in the world.

SITE LOCATION & ANALYSIS

Luzhou Medical College Hospitals are located in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Chongqing Provinces. The department in Luzhou City, Sichuan, is in the scenic mountain of Zhong Lu, west of the New Peninsula CBD, and south to Tuo Jiang. Jiucheng Boulevard borders the site to the south. The site is rectangular shaped, with a complex topography, and a maximum drop of 60m.

PHOTOS OF SITE - EXISTING TERRAIN

The 34m wide Jiucheng Blvd is under construction, and connects the 3rd & 4th Tuo Jiang bridges to the east and Xiarong Freeway to the west, providing direct connection to Chongqing & Chengdu. The main roads and traffic system have not been well planned and require re-planning, as well as careful planning of the terrain.

PLANNING & DESIGN OF SOUTHWEST MEDICAL CITY LAND CONDITIONS

Terrain at higher levels of development will need more energy and water conservation.

In steep slope areas, reconstruction of land will bring great negative impact on the ecological environment, including the reduction of soil erosion and biodiversity.

Development Suitability High suitability of earthy regional development will include a flat, relatively minimal negative impact on the environment, and the lowest cost; Yellow suitability of regional development will have a slope which is moderate, and any potential environmental impact will be of small, modest transformation with ecological protection measures in development and utilization; Light Green area of site development will be appropriately low, where steep terrain is high, incurring high development costs, and requiring protection of mountain vegetation and repair.

34

The mountain has natural water conservation and protection of biodiversity, creating the appropriate medium for development.

Planning Framework in a 1 Core, 2 Axes, and 3 Zones

Spatial Structure

1 Core includes a spa town and commercial center for business, 2 Axes penetrate the site: a northsouth axis of the city, as both an axis and traffic corridor landscape feature, as well as an internal green landscape axis, or an ecological landscape axis, and 3 Zones include the medical zone area, staff housing and supporting facility zone, and retirement & recovery zone. These three planning areas are within proximity of each other and work in tandem via the two axes, with a central focus on the core area of business.

The spatial policy features well-defined groups allowing the sharing of resources, with a clear flow of circulation. The planning framework is further divided on the basis of functional groups within the different areas through the road system in the initial planning stage, which outlines the complete spatial structure.

The hospital layout expands in layers from south to north, with three open entrances, emergency room, outpatient and inpatient areas, and medical clinics. In addition, a separate set of administrative and specialist hospitals are adjacent to the scientific and academic departments, independent of the main hospital.

Circulation is divided into hospital emergency planning, health care, patient visits, visitors, logistics and research, so that there is little interference between flow lines and functionality.

The competition called for a sustainable, human scale, environmentally sensitive, comprehensive medical precinct, which respects the local geological condition and natural habitat.

The hospital layout requires adjacency of programs and resource sharing. We reconstructed the typical courtyard plan to incorporate greenspace on the upper levels, and between functions, providing more public greenspace within the buildings.

Inpatient facilities are raised from the landscape in order to preserve the natural habitat. A pedestrian bridge connects the inpatient buildings, providing general services to patients and visitors.

URBAN DESIGN OF CANTON-MACAU TCM HI-TECH PARK SITE & MASTER PLAN

Our proposal for the Canton-Macau TCM Hi-Tech Park is a sustainable industrial park with integrated functions, and a center of innovation in the Guangdong-Macau cooperation demonstration zone. We sought to create an attractive sense of place as well as add value to the city by establishing an identifiable area of the city and a fun-filled destination.

SIZE: 500,000 m2 LOCATION: HENGQIN ISLAND, ZHUHAI, GUANGDONG PROVINCE, CHINA ARCHITECT: PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF GUANGZHOU SCOPE: DETAILED CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN AND URBAN DESIGN STATUS: SECOND PLACE WINNER IN COMPETITION, DECEMBER 2012 DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: OVERALL CONCEPT OF URBAN DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF MASTER PLAN, 3D RHINO MODEL, AND DETAILED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

SITE LOCATION Hengqin Hi-Tech Park is located near Modaomen, west of the cargo port, east of a residential zone, north of an industrial zone, and south of a logistics zone. The landscape of Hengqin Island is typical of southern Guangdong, and the planning is to be a continuation of the coastal island’s urban pattern. The planning & design will be positioned along the line of sight for Modaomen Corridor, giving the potential to optimize the city skyline. Hengqin Island’s small hill will be a backdrop of mountains for the site; the southeast corner of the site has a park reserve, and a north-south water channel runs through the site.

GREENSPACE LAYOUT

Hengqin TCM Hi-Tech Park has an open greenspace strategy of penetration, where green axes originate from the periphery to the organic nucleus of public buildings within the park; a green axis begins at the southeast corner, where offices are located, permeating the different areas across the site, creating a “green industrial medicine park”. The greenway combines a network of points, axes, and courtyards, providing a dynamic, yet pleasant outdoor environment.

URBAN DESIGN OF CANTON-MACAU TCM HI-TECH PARK DETAILED DESIGN

The architectural detailing reflects the research park with patterns illustrating “the flow of ideas” and the continual process of development. The Expo Center is expressed by diagonal striation, curvilinear building forms, and bridged connections between buildings in the central nucleus of the site. The technology buildings, incubator spaces, and TCM Park have warm colors, rectilinear geometries, and large shutters for cooling in the South China heat. These buildings form a grid-like field, similar to a computer motherboard, against the organic center. The contrast between these two concepts represents the park’s combination of nature, science, and technology.

LINKED COURTYARDS

GRADUATE STUDENT WORK FALL SEMESTER 2010

Public housing in urban cities operates between two modes of occupancy, one that prefaces connectivity to the larger urban fabric and that of an internal community producing and personal enclave. In emerging large scale residential developments, the friction between these two paradigms is exacerbated as scale and economy limit the capacity of such housing to provide both interior and exterior connectivity.

Linked Courtyards attempts to negotiate this tension by proposing a perversion of the typical courtyard. Rather than fixed interiorized exterior spaces, the courtyards shift and change both across the site and in the vertical dimension. On the ground, each courtyard is programmed slightly differently to allow for localized communities within the development but at upper levels these courtyards expand and create visual relationships between tenants at more distant locations across the site.
