01 Jianyuzhou Creative Park Location : Wanjiang District, Dongguan, China Project Type : Urban Design Time : 2014, in BONUS company Project Areaďźš15.18ha The site is one of the first industrial zones in Guancheng Area (downtown), also the most important foreign trade port combining industry and port together in Guancheng Area. But the site has gradually declined with the transformation of urban functions. This project aims to change the original plant functions in the park, bring in new commercial value, and inject vitality to the old town, so that the original spatial structure and neighbourhood texture are continued in the urban renewal design to maintain urban spatial form on the basis of meeting modern life functions.

The site is close to city main roads with convenient traffic.
Residential Building Surrounding Building
As the former old industrial area and ports in Guancheng Area, the site has its distinct industrial heritage features.
The rich vegetation is vigorously growing in the site with excellent waterfront landscape and strong shaping possibility of landscape along the Houjie waterway.
The site is lack of urban secondary roads or branches to link traffics with relatively simple access method for the vehicles in the land parcel.
Jinaozhou Tower has impacted north-central part of the site with height limit.
One side of Houjie waterway in the site needs to retreat 20 meters for flood protection.

Project Derivation
1. Site features: There is 2.4M height different between the northwest part of Dongjiang Avenue and the site.
2. Platform formation: The Dongjiang Avenue elevation has formed into a platform, the terrain height different has formed the garage, and the west and east directions of the ground floor in the site are in staggered position, so as to guide people flow into the venue.
3. Sunken courtyard: Form different sunken courtyard on the platform, and guide the free people flow inside the garage and on the platform.
4. Business formation: According to the rule of biggest commercial value on the ground floor, underlying business is setted in the internal road in the lower edge of the platform; at the same time, business is arranged along the surrounding of sunken courtyard, not only enriching the spatial structure of the site, but also creating double value for the internal business.
5. Form completion: The upper part of building is reasonably arranged according to the characteristics of BLOCX commercial street, combining with the underlying courtyard and business, and forming the commercial space of double ground floors and the commercial value with maximized site.

Problem Solving
According to the data of Dongguan Levee Management Office, the water level of once-in-a-century serious flooding ranges from 5.81m (in Haikou Temple Gate) to 6.54m (Guancheng Hydrological Station) in the land parcel. And it is estimated the flooding level of this design land parcel is about 6.2m. In addition, the actual flood level is less than 6.2m due to the lower riverbed of East River at the moment. The elevation of the site is relatively low and almost entirely less than 6.2m flood level, so the embankment is needed in one side of Houjie waterway and expected to have greater height difference in comparison with the place close to water.

Ground floor
This project has tried to join street space with the atmosphere of modern business, integrating winding streets of pleasant scale with the open shops, arcades, and wind and rain proof buildings. Relatively large open space is left in the secondary urban roads, releasing the suffocating and dense commercial space, also providing a venue for gathering popularity, commercial exhibitions, and public events. The use of site elevation and the bold introduction of "double ground floor" concept have turned the unfavorable factors of the site into double commercial values.

02 Huafa Blue Castle Neighbourhood Center Location : Zhuhai, China Project Type : Urban Design / Architectural Design Time : 2015, in Beijing Normal University,Zhuhai Tutor : Jian’an Liang Project Area：2.37ha Neighbourhood Centre is also known as the block centre, originated from the new concept of community service in Singapore with its essence of an integrated market with a collection of living facilities. Due to lack of public support facilities near the residences in this project, it is considered to construct the neighbourhood centre for providing services. All the supporting services will be gathered together, interacting among the various business formats and playing their own brand effects through unified planning and management. The creation of residents’ public communication space, relationship between architecture and environment, and formation of intimate and comfortable experience are focused on the premise of realizing various functions.

Neighbourhood Centre
The layout of fitness square should be close to Couple Road, along which the art space is specially created.
The vehicle road should be in one side of the land parcel, and the vehicle and people flows are separated as much as possible, so as to provide a more complete public space.
According to the requirements of construction area, the architectural plane is composed with the square units at the size of 20 m * 20m (About 16 to 18 units will meet the area need). The overall style of the residential area near the site is Mediterranean architecture, which will be adopted for the coordination with surrounding buildings in the site. The planning focuses on the link between the building and external environment, extending the building functions to outdoor space.

Currently, residents mainly travel with private cars, which increase the demand for parking lots in the land parcel. Parking lots are mainly set underground with a few on the ground. The entire neighbourhood centre can provide residents with more comprehensive business services.

The more sophisticated surrounding urban construction has created a good foundation for the integration and reformation of Beishan Area into other urban areas. The project has taken the coordinated development of economy, culture and tourism of Beishan Village into consideration, focusing on improving the villagers’ living conditions and harmonizing with the surrounding land parcel by inheriting traditional cultures, so as to further promote the sustainable development of cultural and creative industries.

Location
Qianshan Station
The
Nanwan District is opposed to Macau across the river, and the unique geographical location determines the special status of Nanwan District. The construction of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the opening of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai intercity rail have further optimized the transportation conditions of the area, more prominently showing its position of transportation hub. Zhuhai City will start to construct Baishi Bridge and Nanping No.2 Bridge in the near future, more efficiently strengthening the connection between this region and the central city, and further enhancing the location advantage and development condition of this region.
