RESILIENT CIT Y: generative design in climate change A c a d e m i c - Te a m w o r k - U r b a n D e s i g n - 2 019

Team

De Zhan Timothy Suprapto

Nowadays the artificial intelligence is penetrating all areas of life, including urban space. Therefore it is vital to explore and utilise architecture’s relationship with digital and telecommunication technology; the media; and economies of globalisation.

In the age of the climate change the issue of rising sea level and its impact on our cities has open the discussion of how the urban environment can adapt to the new conditions and the emerging landscape.

Using artificial intelligence and machine learning is key to adapting the cities to the emerging climate issues.

Therefore this project aims to create a new, smart type of residential development in the Isle of Dogs - one of the most flood-prone areas of London. Another focus for the project is accommodating a modern-type citizen.

Conventional social boundaries are disappearing, and current architecture should reflect it by responding with adequate spaces, and mass customisation is playing a crucial role in the producing the flexible spaces so needed in the new urban design discipline.

The tasks for this project consisted of consulting with government-provided documentation and adapting it to the city, based on the classification of buildings by time periods and their location in typological zones of Sevastopol, as well as their volumes (left). The recommendations were produced in the form of architectural illustrations of the current and proposed street environments, composed into volumes based on subjects.

Deliverables

• Volume II: Buildings recommendations established by this document apply to buildings and their façades, namely: building elements, colour scheme solutions, navigation elements, decorative illumination.

• Volume III: Street Improvement elements of street regeneration and revitalisation, and to fundamental planning and architectural-spatial solutions for organization of: pedestrian infrastructure, street navigation, organisation of short-term recreation, decorative landscaping and illumination.

• Volume IV: Road Network elements of the road network, fundamental planning and to architectural-spatial solutions for organization of: pedestrian and bicycle infrastructures, landscaping, road navigation, relief, illumination.

Brief

Concept

Develop the concept and detailed designs for the adjacent territories of a new premium-class residential complex near Moscow-City business district.

The masterplan must include: various playgrounds, an outdoor gym and sports grounds, a dog-walking area and a skate park.

In order to achieve a high-end appearance of the adjacent territories with a relatively low budget, a series of design decisions were taken to optimise the use of standard materials for a more unique design. Such include using multiple shades of paving stone in an arranged pattern, finding domestic produced equipment instead of higher-end imported analogous, and using simpler materials in made-to-order structures and urban furniture.

Deliverables • Masterplan of the territory; • Renderings for a series courtyards (summer and winter); • Detailed surface planning with materials selection; • Allocation and selection of outdoor equipment; • Landscaping and plants selection (external consultancy); • Detailed architectural design for small scale structures; • Urban furniture selection.

AKADEMTOWN: communit y square regeneration A c a d e m i c - P u b l i c S p a c e s - P a r t i c i p a t o r y D e s i g n - 2 017 The project aims to reconnect the local community back together by providing an amiable and welcoming space for people to spend more of their free time in the common area, and increase the number of their encounters.

During the concept development stage, a number of interviews with local residents was carried out, in order to establish the needs and desires of the target demographics, and aid the design process.

More at: https://indd.adobe.com/view/

Visual concept The concept is based on two materials: concrete and timber. Timber is a widely accessible resources in Siberia, which is home to one of the most durable woods in the world - cedar.

The pattern is also loosely based on a cedar tree shape, at the same time following the patters of the most commonly taken routes throughout the square.

Research In preparation for the project, the site was studied in depth, during a number site visits and observations, and collection of online data. During research, site functions, movement pattern, site context and user demographics were collected.

Design elements The three flowerbeds are mimicking the original beds, however they are lower and features benches. More seating was added to the stairs, which are now in place of the old concrete barriers used for safety on the level difference.

Waterfall added to the stairs as requested by the locals, and to improve biophillic conditions.

Local residents also asked for a shelter or indoor area, therefore a cafe was added, the structure of which repeats the patter of the square.

The market is build to accommodate the local traders who used to display their products on the concrete barriers.

SHAND STREET KITCHENS: communial cookery school

- Academic - Interior Architecture - Re p u r p o s e d - 2 015

-

Following the plans of Southwark Council to close the Shand Street in Bermondsey, and re-purpose the tunnel into a communal space, the project suggests a proposal for a cookery school. Sponsored by Abel&Cole, it will allow people to learn how to cook healthy and organic food with ingredients provided by the sponsor, at the same time enjoying the process of sharing the experience and the result in the onsite restaurant.

Layout and re-purposing The given space is a 15 meter-long tunnel under a railway bridge, with an arched, 5-meter high ceiling. Due to the unusual length, the overall space is divided into 4 individual compartments (classrooms), with utilities and storage space in one end, and an open plan restaurant in another, using the two-way entrance to maximum benefit. The compartment walls are see-through to allow some degree of airiness in the lacking natural light space, at the same time preserving the visual peculiarity of the space of such length.

The pattern of the compartments walls has evolved from the local street art, which symbolises the diversity of the neighbourhood - the original community, and new developments residents, as well as the rich art scene of Southwark - from Tate to independent galleries.
