PIT REUSE Brumadinho,Minas Gerias,Brazil Ecological and touring strategies designed for pits with different levels of restoration.

With industrialisation, the demand for minerals is increasing. However, mining destroys ecosystems, and the wastewater and waste discharged from mining pollute water, soil and air, threatening human health.

Brazil is rich in mineral veins, but with this comes a variety of pollution problems. Therefore, this project is based on the restoration and utilisation of Brazilian veins based on their damage to nature.

Design Strategy Because of the different degrees of ecological restoration of the pits on the site, the design classifies the pits, and according to the location of the pits, the degree of restoration of the pits decreases from the urban area to the natural area, so the design divides the area into three parts, and classifies the design according to the type of pit in each part.

Landscape Typology 3: Natural-quarry Area

Due to the short period of development, most of the soils in the pit are more contaminated and loose, and waterlogging in the pit is a more serious problem. Therefore the ecological strategy is more in favour of dealing with the contamination and how plants are grown.

OCEAN PUDDING Coast from Kuta to Seminyak,Bali,Indonesia Litter collection and treatment strategies designed for marine tidal litter, with the development of speciality tourism in conjunction with litter treatment.

The project site is located in Bali, Indonesia. Due to the problem of rubbish accumulation in various oceanic rubbish belts and tidal influence, the Bali coast has been piled up with oceanic current rubbish for the last ten years. This project has led to the thinking of alleviating the problem of coastal marine debris by using Bali as a case study for plastic waste.

The entire process is controlled through mobile phone monitoring of the waste collection unit, seaweed and oyster recycling time. The device under the pontoon is transported to the collection point via a chain under the planks and then collected manually. The collection devices floating on the sea surface are collected directly by hand.

Tourism is an important part of Bali's economy, however, due to ocean currents, a large amount of rubbish washes up on the shores of Bali every year, affecting the tourism industry. Therefore, the project analyses the direction of the currents and the areas where the rubbish collects the most. It is hoped that the problem of rubbish will be addressed in the context of the tourism industry.

The project has developed a response programme for a nine-kilometre stretch of coast affected by tidal debris in Bali. The programme combines waste collection and treatment with human activities, constructing distinctive landscapes within each type of collection circle, while the circles include not only treatment plants but also a range of services such as hotels, bars, pools, restaurants and other facilities, turning them into tourist attractions.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM When a person receives a collection signal from the monitoring system, the waste in the large waste collection unit is cleared and transported by boat to the waste circle for waste disposal. At the same time, oysters, seaweed and cm type rubbish collection units connected by rails are transported by rail to the main dock and then manually transported to the corresponding treatment plant. Inside the rubbish disposal circle, visitors can see the treatment process at the plant and participate in making rubbish crafts.

The project combines waste treatment with tourism activities, with each waste treatment circle incorporating different specialised cultures to make up for the lack of a single site nature in the past. There are commercial activities and rubbish, oyster and seaweed disposal activities in each circle for visitors to experience.

Kelp Circle Rendering

Beach Rendering

Activity Rendering The project combines the coast with a treatment circle via a trestle. The trestle acts as a third line of defence for marine litter disposal, with oyster, seaweed and small plastic litter collection devices hanging below the trestle.

Workers collect them on rails on the trestle and take them to the various treatment pens for disposal.

Model information Model Scale: 1:1000 Model Size:1.5*0.6M Materials:Foam Board, Drip Glue, Resin,Pigments

Waste Disposal Circle Handmade Model Production Process

Modelling And Production The model is made from the main body made from drip glue, foam board, and resin material. The main body of the building is made of resin material, which is accurately shaped by 3D printing technology, and then it is sanded and processed and then sprayed with special paint for colouring, in order to show the realistic texture and colour effect. The ocean part firstly cuts out the seabed texture from the bubble template, and then brushes out the seabed colour through pigment to simulate the seabed effect. Then, the drip glue is mixed with colour, and the modulated drip glue is slowly poured into the pre-designed moulds to form a realistic seawater effect after curing. Finally, the model is assembled and put together to complete the modelling.

GIGANTIC GROWTH Kai Tak, Wong Tai Sin, Hong Kong Vertically growing cities designed for cities with aging trends, creating intergenerational environments to address social isolation of older adults.

Contemporary urban buildings are becoming denser as the population increases. In the context of highdensity cities, the needs of older persons, especially their emotional needs, are often overlooked in planning because of inadequate site conditions. Therefore, this project aims to grow the city upwards and to design the city with the needs of the elderly in mind, catering for all age groups.

Crowd Analysis

Problem Analysis

Site Analysis

This project analyses the root causes of social isolation among older people and site-specific issues, identifying population pain points and site pain points.

The actual problems of the site were analysed through the field research: chaotic traffic within the site, youthful development of the site, and conflict with the needs of the elderly.

Reasons Of Social Isolation Causing

Transport Issues

This project found that social isolation among older people is due to the marital and residential situation that affects the physical, economic and social aspects of the living environment, which in turn leads to social isolation.

After the field study, it was found that the activities of the elderly in the site were relatively single, mostly focusing on walking and using the fitness equipment in the site. During the field research, it was found that there are multiple points of convergence for different groups of people, therefore, this project focuses on the needs of different groups of people in the same group of people and tries to create an intergenerational friendly environment.

By categorising different groups of people and distinguishing residential buildings with more problematic populations, as well as identifying the intersection of various groups of people, the venue creates crossgenerational exchanges for the elderly, increasing communication opportunities and alleviating social isolation.

Vertical Space Design In order to expand the range of socialisation for the elderly (intersecting routes for different groups) and to develop the site to meet the needs of the elderly, functions are interspersed in the vertical space.

Growing Urban Design

Horizontal Converter

The city allows for infinite building growth through the nesting of blocks between prefabricated buildings, while transporting prefabricated building blocks to every part of the city through switching columns and converters. The presence of the switching columns 3 allows the city to grow infinitely upwards.

1 Sky Corridor Effect

In the city, people can travel through the city through air corridors and switching axes to reach every corner of the city. There are two ways of travelling through the city, on foot and on sliders. Socialising is promoted while riding the sliders, catering to the needs of the elderly.

Almost every rooftop of buildings constructed in the city is utilised for green roofs to meet the needs of the elderly for physical and mental recuperation, and to alleviate the stress of high-density cities.
