How to solve many problems that people face in urban life through one solution is the ability that an excellent designer should have.

Especially for cities of different types and scales, we should consider from the perspective of users. And that is also the original intention of urban design ——DESIGN

The purpose of this project was to determine how to combine both flood prevention purposes and public activity interests into one design. Inspired by traditional Chinese bamboo rafts, the design uses modern-day design methodologies (such as recycling plastic bottles by utilizing the nearby Huangpu Environmental Health Building) to create different-sized and multifunction movable floating dock that are more environmentally-friendly. Visitors can use their cellphones to modify the dock’s functions and their position along the creek. At the same time, the design also improved the existing flood prevention systems in place such that they were more human-oriented in design than before, and could complement the docks.

The original draft’s function of floating docks only considered from a park and commercial perspective, and had not standardized their sizes or designs. In this portfolio design, we added multiple new functions and introduced three standard sizes.

Every day is very hard, I just hope there is a place to drink coffee or look at the Suzhou Creek, but the flooding wall is too high

I want playground near the river ! Can play with my friends !!!

Creek before Business people

Child The scenery of Suzhou Creek is very good, but there is no place to have a rest or have a seat

Youth

The surrounding area are both old apartments and there are no sports fields.

Tourist We just want to have a square to dance, swim or do some exercises

Dancing woman

Hey ... nothing could be better than having a park

SOLUTION

The Riverfront has very little attraction today and has become the backside of the district. The high flooding wall is dominating the site creating a inactive 'dead' wall.

Due to limited space, there is also a lack of public space on both sides of the river for residents to relax and entertain.

The Hutong Forest Yanshou Hutong Design

Location:Beijing,China Length:350m Total Area:2450m2 Academic work:Design competition Individual Work Responsible for all the work:Site survey,strategy,design Duration:2011/3-2011/4 Hewang@chinastc.org 7

The purpose behind this design was to determine how to bring out the potential of underground spaces. In this way, we can implement car lanes, parking spaces below ground, and separate pedestrians and bicycle lanes entirely from motor vehicle traffic by keeping them on the surface. With traffic separated, the ground-level can be partly cleared up and instead be used to plant trees, creating Hutong-like forests replacing Beijing’s traditional hutongs. Similarly, diverse techniques such as vertical planting, reuse of vacant rooms, the sponge city concept, and improvements on lighting can improve the lifestyles, convenience of residents as well as the greening of spaces.

The original design focused only on diminishing the issues between pedestrians, bicycles and motor vehicles by removing parking spaces for motor vehicles and limiting the times in which they could operate. The original design did not address any renovations or improvements to Beijing’s hutongs/alleys. In this proposed design, the focus is on the use of underground space, and entirely reworking the surface-level space by adding greenery, thus allocating this freed area back to use for cyclist and pedestrian, and redefining the function of a “hutong” from a human-oriented perspective.

The Hutong Forest | Yanshou Hutong Design

EXISTING CONDITIONS & CHALLENGES Yanshou Hutong, with a century-old history, is one of the most famous Hutong in the Dashilan area of Beijing.

With the opportunities brought by urban renewal, how the renewal and improvement of the area can meet the needs of people living and playing is important. Obviously, the old Hutong environment and infrastructure cannot meet people’s needs.

The purpose of this project was to respect the current state of existing architecture, road networks, and waterfront, but also to break out of the traditional block layout and produce a new solution based on pedestrian streamline and public spaces. Through the way by identifying the areas base on the major pedestrian traffic streamline and rotate the blocks to create more human-oriented public spaces, such as the use of enclosed block) . In this way the area will become a green, livable central district.

This design completely discarded the original design’s standardized layout, and used more ecological, green methods to try and introduce flexible layouts to emphasize the concept of the region’s sustainable development.

CBD-CAZ(Central Activity Zone) Beijing CBD public space upgrade

Location:Beijing,China Total Area: 7,000,000 m2 Professional work Group Work Project manager Lead team,site survey,strategy,design,presentation to the Local Government Duration:2019/11-Present Email address of the supervisor:yuewang@chinastc.org 17

Beijing’s central business district (CBD) is one of the country’s earliest central business districts. Many internationallyrenowned buildings such as Koolhaas’ CCTV Tower and the CITIC Tower are located in this area, and yet its environmental quality of public space such as pedestrian sidewalk, parks, and green transportation methods are nowhere near the world-class level the city center calls for.

As such, the project’s purpose was to organize all public spaces systematically by categorizing them, and then used targeted, optimized solutions that could be implemented practically. We designed several pilot projects, and then generalized the design strategy for implementation into the whole CBD area, turning it also into a Central Activity Zone (CAZ).
