03 children's expedition Two Axes —— Urban Design Project Academic, Individual project Summer 2023 Instructor: Siyi Liu Located in Istanbul, Turkey, the site used to be a prosperous area with many fabulous sceneries. But nowadays it faces many problems, like crowded and narrow streets, lack of vitality along the waterfront space and no playgrounds for local children. According to the Turkey’s city population website, there are more than 15% children between 0-14 ages in the Uskudar area. This project aims to explore the way to improve these urban problems. Via design methods of sorting out street levels, improving the architecture texture and functional distribution, discovering the vitality of waterfront space and increasing childfriendly public spaces within neighborhoods, this project brings vitality back to the area and improves the living conditions of local residents.

04 FROM ABANDONED TO "LIVE UP" Community Center —— Architecture Renewal Project Academic, Individual project Spring 2023 Instructor: Xiaoyue Hu, Prof.Minghao Zhou (zhouminghao@tongji.edu.cn)

Located in Yangpu District, Shanghai, this project aims to explore the way to revitalize an old and vacant amenity space in this aging community. The population of senior people over 60 years old in Yangpu District reaches 40.3%, and the government sets an ambitious goal to renovate the abandoned architecture with more than 1.5 million square meters this year. Via key architectural methods of enriching the façade design, inserting new programs, highlighting the central “LIVE UP” space and reorganize the circulations, this project creates an attractive space in both architecture and interior aspects for the local residents.
