Workshop
Collaborative Workshop
For the first time the four-day collaborative workshop was made digitally and took place at the School of Architecture and Design at the Xipu Campus of Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu and at Lund University.
The workshop was done in teams of six to eight students - a mix of students from Lund University and students from the five Chinese universities.
The workshop was perceived as an exploration and each group was given the opportunity to present their strategic vision for the future of the site on four A1 posters at the end of the workshop. During the workshop, the students were encouraged to think broad and be visionary as the intent was to open up new ways of seeing and working with the complex issues presented by the site and the city of Dujiangyan.
Given the short time during the workshop, the students worked tirelessly to express and visualize their visions through strategic diagrams, urban and detail plans, section drawings, collages, and 3D representations. The teams were ambitious and productive but also maintained a friendly environment of learning and sharing. The proposals opened up for interesting discussions and challenged the traditional approaches to urban design in
Sustainable Urban Dynamics
the area.
