THE SMALL INFILTRATES THE LARGE A Process of Urbanization to Address Urban Fragmentation
URBAN DESIGN
Urban Design Research Studio | May 2016 | Quito, Ecuador The project focuses on a process of urbanization in a site of development potential and urban fragmentation. Quitumbe is located in an area with three ravines going through and gradual topographic change. The area has existing attractors in commercial, recreational, service, and education activities, and will host the last two stops of the city’s first metro line to the south end. It is well connected to a regional road network and BRT lines, but local roads are disjointed where human meets nature. Currently the site has been proposed as a neighborhood for superblocks, where buildings of 100% public housing run through the whole block and isolated the community from surrounding. The superblock plan in 2004 has not been pushed progressively. As a result informal settlements gradually have taken over some blocks and create their own notion of community.
INSTRUCTOR David Gouverneur María Altagracia Villalobos SOFTWARE Rhino V-Ray ArcGIS Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Adobe InDesign
The plan recognizes two challenges that the site is facing – fragmentation and over-dimension, and seeks solutions from two corresponding perspectives, by increasing connectivity and creating destinations, and by promoting smallscale development modules with more flexibility. Given the introduction of a multi-model transit station in 4 years, the site which is located within the 10-min walking radius will face development pressure. In order to prepare the site for development and protect low-to-medium income residents, my overall strategy firstly creates a public realm armature of connection and opens spaces with moments of intensity. After establishing a framework of connection and destination, a development vision is more feasible to be implemented to the site. Three types of development are proposed for the plan in response to different block conditions. The first is urban village, a cooperative model between the city and informal settlement.The second type is infill mixed-income duplex, an experimental substitute of pure public housing tested out in Quitumbe. The third type is stacked mixed-income apartment, which can be introduced in the outskirt of the site, filling any space saved after downscaling the Quitumbe plaza and social institution. The plan emphasizes a process of establishing the public realm armature, creating moments of intensity, understanding the scale, and proposing sitespecific solutions. The process is responsive to site condition, development vision, and proposal for the adjacent areas.

Spring Square is where technology, arts, and health of Midtown spring. The site is located at a strategically prioritized area where Midtown’s commercial district, Downtown Midtown, and various educational and cultural institutions interface, and the plan aims to carry forward the synergy and creates a mixeduse community with intimate nature experience and high level of accessibility for a diverse group of people. Spring Square supports and celebrates the innovation that Georgia Tech, Midtown arts institutions, and local civic organizations bring. It will provide the collaborative, commercial, cultural, and housing real estate for Midtown Atlanta residents, workers, and visitors. The objectives are: • Revamp the public realm and streetscape that deals with the Downtown Connector; • Capitalize on the existing presence of cultural and educational institutions, and providing a mixed-use development that partners well with them; • Support, foster, and accelerate the economic growth of the city by creating a model for innovation while being equitable, accessible, for a range of incomes and demographics. With a diverse mix of programs and carefully designed landscape gateway, Spring Square bridges Midtown’s creative cultural experience, technological innovation spirit, and walkable healthy community into one site, and let the legacies interact with each other through people’s everyday life.

1401-1499 S. COLUMBUS BLVD
Site Planning | May 2016 | Philadelphia, PA
INSTRUCTOR Scott Page
The new plan for 1401-1499 S. Columbus Boulevard aims to reconcile Bart Blatstein’s current proposal with the objectives in the Master Plan for the Central Delaware, and creates a mixed-use neighborhood that attracts new residents and serves regional consumers with sufficient supply of residential and retail spaces. More importantly, it recognizes the importance of a coherent vision for the Delaware waterfront through increased connectivity and small-scale development. Specifically, the plan address the following three key principles:
TEAM WITH Anqi Chen Lu Tian RESPONSIBLE FOR Site Analysis Master Plan Site Diagram Model Buildng SOFTWARE ArcGIS Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Adobe InDesign SketchUp Rhino
1. Easy access to the waterfront. The plan reserves generous space for a cityproposed waterfront park, and provides continuous public open spaces that lead pedestrians and cyclists to engage with the water. 2. Sense of neighborhood. Adapting the original programs from Blatstein’s proposal, the plan turns isolated big-box retails and residential development into human-scale mixed use blocks. It proposes sufficient street-front retails to activate shared spaces, with apartments on top of the structures. For blocks of lower density, enclosed semi-public open spaces are available for residents in the communities. 3. Active streetscape. Nearly all buildings on site are oriented to have their facades facing pedestrian and bike paths, with vehicular access at the back of the building. The design separates pedestrian activities from heavy traffic, and creates spaces to engage with ground-floor retails and various types of open spaces.

The San Francisco Bay Area is a dynamic metropolitan region comprised of three major population centers, nine counties, and just over 7.5 million people. During the next 35 years the region is expected to grow by over two million people, reaching an estimated population of 9.8 million. This tremendous growth is driven primarily by migration. The technology sector is responsible for much of the Bay’s economic growth during the last thirty years, and is projected to remain the dominant industry as new and larger companies begin to spread north from Silicon Valley. Jobs associated with this industry tend to be clustered at the high and low end of the wage spectrum, which has resulted in a growing economic divide between local residents. This divide is compounded by a growing housing shortage. As rents increase, residents are often forced to relocate further from the urban center, resulting in longer commutes and increased congestion. All of these factors add up to a tremendous development pressure, which can be used to redeveloped underutilized spaces in a way that improves the quality of life for both current and future residents. There is no place that better demonstrates this potential than the Alameda-Oakland waterfront. A resilient development strategy for the Alameda-Oakland waterfront must recognize the importance of preserving local communities while improving the quality of life for residents throughout the Bay. To address complex issues such as sea level rise, drought, housing affordability, and traffic congestion, local governments will need to make large-scale investments to redevelop infrastructure and rework development patterns. To be truly resilient, the Oakland-Alameda waterfront must take advantage of these changes to create a better, stronger community for its residents. Is not enough to merely bounce back from disaster, to truly thrive, the waterfront needs to bounce back better than it was before.

DELIVERY DIAGRAM
SWOT ANALYSIS • Switching from diesel to biofuel removes dependancy on as much fossil fuel consumption and the emissions they release. • Repairs and maintenence of existing housing stock is optimal when space is limited. • Utilsation of vacant land increases efficiency and thus productivity. • Increase of participation within local communities through training provides skills, employment and thus boosts economy. • Larger businessess providing work and training to smaller local businesses boosts employment, the economy and good business relations. • Trainig in e-commerce affords smaller businesses to keep up to date with technological advances. • Focus on smaller local businesses • prevents gentrifiction displacement.
• Biofuel creates a heavier dependcy on crop production. • Repairs and Maintence on some properties may be more costly than developing a new building. • Creating a surpluss of trained and skilled individuals may take employment away from other areas of London. • Redevelopment, renovation and urban agriculture programmes might interfere with how people currently use their locales. • Small local businesses may be averse to learning new systems of business such as e-commerce.
ACTIONS •
• • • • •
Improve sustainable transport by introducing BRT, and promoting Barclays bike in residential and business areas. Improve sustainable transport by switching to biofuel. Promote local employment for maintenance and repairs. Implement repairs, renovation and redevelopment; promote adaptive reuse. Legislate sustainable building code regulations. Adopt New Homes Bonus Scheme.
• • •
Create workshops and support centres. Create partnerships between local authorities and businesses to train local people. Encourage local residents to participate in the creation and upkeep of urban agriculture in local communities
•
•
Use tax reductions to encourage large businesses to give more work to local suppliers and train the unemployed in skilled roles. Train local businesses on how to utilise e-commerce. • Higher population of skilled workers can encourage more businesses to enter these areas. • Switching to biofuel and more sustainable transport can make London a flagship entireprise for sustainability for other cities globally to emulate . • Urban agriculture may be implementable on a larger scale and help to produce some of the UK’s crop yield. • Large companies providing work for local small businesses and training for tax reduction incentives, may allieviete the number of large corporations evading tax or moving business overseas.
BUDGETING • Repair services for social housing • Renovation & redevelopment for social housing • Training local people to provide repair and renovation services • Initiate new bus route • Introduce Barcalays cycle hire
