BALANCING

Barcelona community upgrading

Location: Barcelona Time: 2023.8

Softwares Applied: Rhino, photoshop,indesign, Illustrator,ArcGIS, QGIS

The aim of the project is to renovate and upgrade the neighbourhood around Park Güell in Barcelona, in order to provide a better quality of life and optimise the situation of the area due to over-tourism.

The project was carried out in three steps, the first of which was a holistic study of Barcelona, both physical and theoretical. The second step is a large-scale reconfiguration of the neighbourhood. The third step is to zoom in on a particular area and develop a more detailed and systematic strategy.

Potential Access

Park Guell, Parc del Carmel and their surrounding communities are seated on hilly area of Barcelona. The park area is steeper in comparison to other areas. The steepest areas have built the water collecting tank for rainwater collection. Many staircases or escalators are applied to improve accessibility.

The Topography

The site is located at a hilly area in Gracia, Barcelona.Because it is too steep, cyclists are not common. Public transportations like buses and on foot are the dominant transportation ways.

The street views of the site will be captured and summarized into four photos to analysis the characteristics of the site.

1.The street envelope shows the narrow walking area for pedestrians which are dangerous and too hilly geology.

2.The hilly street has spaces for dining out from restaurants.

3.The end space is blocked and abandoned which turned it into a parking space for motorbikes.

4.The greenery in the community is blocked by a wall that people cannot get in, and has a huge topography change.

Solar Panels

Moment Solar Barcelona is an initiative to help local people install solar panelling on their homes. Households opting for self-consumption can get their power bills down by as much as 25%, representing a saving of some 200 euros a year.

Reduce storm water run-off and urban heat-island effect. Cools and improves surrounding air quality.

Work with water tank to irrigate surrounding green roof system. Reduce cooling cost. Save water.

Old Bus Factory Renovation Design

Location: Beijing

Time: 2022.6

Softwares Applied: Rhino, photoshop,indesign, Illustrator, AutoCAD

This project is the renovation and overall digital upgrade of an abandoned bus factory and the surrounding area in Chaoyang District, Beijing. During the course of the project, we learnt a lot about the latest digital technologies and explored their possibilities for use in the city.

Proposal Phases 2030 Street 'Lines' 2025 Street 'Boxes' 2033 Holistic Upgrading Overall Site Axo& Visualisation

STEP 2: Street Upgrading

The inclusion of the Street X-Room shop both enriches the street facade and adds a number of features that draw people in and in turn lead them to the central site, which acts as an entrance to the whole site.

The self-assembling furniture increases the possibilities of the entrance plaza, guiding people to build and to sit and rest.

The largest structure on the entrance square attracts foot traffic and also changes shape regularly.

Semi segregated furniture increases visibility and accessibility, encouraging access to the blind box experience, while consumption can be used as seating for fellow travellers to rest.

The interface of the road is changed according to the information received by the sensors about the flow of people and vehicles on the street, allowing for a smoother and safer flow of vehicles and people.

The "brain" of the neighbourhood, linking the Tide Street and the Wonder Market, the most important structure in the shopping square, contains smart screens showing the day's road conditions, weather, pedestrian traffic and recommendations for points of interest.
