The New Utopia

Year 3 acedemic project Individual work

A NEW UTOPIA FOR THE MODERN CITY-URBAN DESIGN Economic development inevitably brings an increase in population density. How can cities face the problem of land constraints in the process of development? The project is inspired

by Thomas More's book Utopia. To address the drawbacks of sprawling cities, the central axis of Beijing is selected as the foundation of the city through research and reflection on cases. By developing rules and algorithms for the spatial mix of the central axis and the surrounding buildings, the project addresses the problem of land resource constraints in the future.

The project combines Beijing’s ancient central axis with the concept of a Utopian city, adapting it to the development of the contemporary city as a ‘New Utopia’.

BACKGROUND The project is inspired by Thomas More’s Utopia, which presents an ideal state through the description of a Utopian island.

Everything works according to the order set by the city itself, and the island is equal in terms of means of production, resources, size, population.

The increase in urban population is an inevitable trend under global development. The Utopian design of the city seems advanced for its time, but as the population grows and the city expands continuously, the problem of land constraints would be magnified over time. The ‘New Utopia’ will be based on the Utopian theory of the city and contemporary urban development trends to address the problem of urban sprawl due to increasing population.

In each city there are four public hospitals on the outskirts of the neighbourhood, all of them very spacious, like four small towns.W ----The Utopia of Sir Thomas More，tr.Ralph Robyrmo

There are fifty-four cities on this island, each of them large and magnificent, with the same habits, the same customs and even the same laws between them. If the terrain allowed, they were all laid out in the same way.

----The Utopia of Sir Thomas More,tr.Ralph Robyrmon

The streets are laid out to facilitate traffic and to keep out the wind and dust. The architecture is beautiful and neatly organized. The streets are twenty feet wide and there are gardens behind each house. The gardens are large and surrounded by buildings on all sides, all facing the street, so that each house has a front door to the street and a back door to the garden.

----The Utopia of Sir Thomas More，tr.Ralph Robyrmo

Based on the book’s description of the Utopian city, I have studied Barcelona to refine and develop my design approach, as its initial urban expansion is very similar to that of the Utopian city.

THEORY The Cerdà Project: the expansion of Barcelona The urban plan was based on the principle of equality, with the intention of eliminating socially stratified communities.

Everyone lived in octagonal blocks with an internal courtyard and an evenly distributed population, with no ‘exclusive areas’ for the rich or the poor.

The city block was designed to be 113.3 x 113.3 metres, with an optimum space allowing for an air volume of 6 square metres per person.The width of the street was limited to 20, 40 or 60 metres in different cases.

Inside the octagonal block, the dark green parts are buildings, leaving green spaces and public spaces in the light green areas. The buildings occupied only two sides of the block and were no more than 24 metres deep and up to four storeys high,

To address the problem of land resources constraints in cities sprawling expansion, I have researched several large cities. I have found that many have a clear central axis in their planning and a spatial layout around it. Many cities around the world have had significant exploration and practice of urban axes in their historical development, which eventually becomes the most concentrated expression of the spatial and cultural composition of the city.

EXPLORATION OF URBAN LAYOUT

=294771 ㎡

Economic growth inevitably brought an increase in population density, and Barcelona’s urban development did not follow Cerdà's original plan. The Utopian supported public green spaces now become closed and privatised neighbourhood. The buildings reach a depth of 35 metres, exceeding the set limit of 24 metres.

Barcelona is a product of the development of Utopian theory into modern times. The increasing population of cities in the process of sprawl inevitably leads to a strain on land resources. Utopian cities were not designed with this in mind, but simply kept adding colonies to the outer states.

But the emphasis on equity in politics, economics and education and the concern for the disadvantaged mentioned in the book are concrete manifestations of their humanitarianism, and do not lead to differences in access to the city’s resources due to differences in status. At the heart of this Utopian humanism are social equality, harmony and compassion for the underprivileged, which is a key reason why The Cerdà Project has endured and is still the guiding principle of its urban development 150 years later.

INITIAL DESIGN

New Utopia urban algorithm

The relationship between the central axis and the different types of building axes around it is combined to generate a combination of architectural spaces through the axes.

New combinations of architectural spaces are generated based on the regular arrangement between the 24 different types of axes.

Urban growth trends Considering the actual situation of the city, I have then considered how to combine the two urban rules, so that the ‘New Utopia’ city could retain its original order and at the same time alleviate the problem of land constraint. So I have decided to use vertical space and let the city grow upwards according to the central axis rule.

As the city grows, the number of iterations increases if the initial number of axes is high and the axis level is high (i.e. high urban density); if the initial value is small, the number of iterations decreases accordingly.

Based on the area where the central axis is located, a population density of 15,350 inhabitants/square kilometres is set. The population growth rate is determined to be 2.39% using 2020 and forecast data, and the height of the city grows as the population increases.

Generating space through axes North-South axis as vertical Support columns connect the axial spaces

1. Combining the algorithm derived from the central axis, the most central one in the plan layout is used as the initial point to derive the relationship between the building axes and the main axes in the new city according to the rules, as a way to explore the issue of population growth and land resource use in urban space.

2. Spatial planes are generated from the rule-generated axes.

3. A certain number of axis types are given to the initial point of the hierarchy according to the algorithm rules. From the initial point, different types of axis generate different planes.The progression of the relationships between the different types of axis forms the space from which the city is created.

After generating an urban space based on the Beijing axis, I have found that I could let the city grow outwards according to its own rules under this rule.

However, if the initial value is not set, the 1 city will still expand outwards disorderly e rat and will not be able to alleviate the ne e G problem of land resource constraints.

DIFFERENT SCALES OF UNITS (on display) Different scales and functions of the units are linked to form the ‘New Utopia’ city.

The scale of the units will change as the function and population changes, so that they are better adapted to the growth of the city. There is also a more scientific and comfortable living environment, which ensures good ventilation and light. During the urban iteration, the length and proportion of each unit will change, but the total volume and area will remain the same.

URBAN GROWTH LOGIC The city grows according to the above rules, and the number of axes in each upward iteration decreases as the number of iterations increases by a factor of 0.6 (i.e. the number of buildings), and the axis level decreases. The axis level is higher in the centre of the city and lower in the surroundings. The height of each iteration is varied up and down between 15 and 40 metres to ensure that connections are created between the support columns formed by the vertical axes at each level.

The end of the growth is determined by the initial number of axes and the natural growth rate of the population.

HUMAN CRYONICS IN THE METAVERSE-ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN There is still a long way to go before human cryonics becomes a reality, and according to the questionnaire I understand that a large percentage of people are still unaware of the technology, there is always a fear of the unknown.

So I think it could be a combination of online and offline, where people could upload their own body data after experiencing the process of cryonics through VR and other virtual reality technologies, and where people could not only learn about the technology but even decide whether they would like to donate their bodies to the project when they die in a few decades. Scientists will be able to refine the technology by using the data from the existing participants to perform calculations on the computer again and again, and this will make a significant contribution to genetic preservation, memory preservation, organ storage and more.

BACKGROUND "At the point where the current legal and medical system gives up on a patient,they aren't really dead."

--Eliezer Yudkowsky, You Only Live Twice

EXPERIMENTAL FOUNDATION & TECHNIQUE PROCESS 1-7 DAYS BEFORE

What is Death?

THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF DEATH： Death used to be when a person's heart stopped, then when their heart couldn't be restarted, and is now being extended further.

THE MOST ACCURATE DEFINITION OF DEATH： Death is only permanent when the structures encoding memory and personality(necessary for consciousness) have become so disrupted that it becomes theoretically impossible to recover the person.

0 HOURS

CONCLUSION Life and death are not binary states --The transition from one state to another is a gradual one. Death is not an absolute, but a relative state. And modern cryosurgery techniques will bring patients into what most people consider to be a state of death, and then allow them to awaken again.

I researched 2000 people from different regions on issues related to human freezing for the subsequent design

The cryopreservation process should beginas soon as a dying person experiences cardiac arrest and can be declared legally dead. While the patient are still early in the dying process, with cells and organs still viable.

Blood circulation and breathing are artificially restored temp-orarily, to protect the brain. The patient is then cooled in an ice water bath, and their blood is replaced with an organ preservation solution.

The cooled patient is transported to cryonics operating room. Many people choose to retire and enter hospicenear cryonics lab for shorter transport time and better procedural outcome.

No cryonics organization can currently revive a cryopre-served patient, but we have confidence revival may be possible. Future medical technologies are expectedvto have very broad capabilities.

The patient is stored in a vacuum-insulated metal dewar at subfreezing temperatures using liquid nitrogen.Liquid nitrogenbis topped up regularly, and the dewars require no electricity. The patient will remain in long-term care until possible revival .

The patient is cooled down to -196 ℃ , which cryopreserves the patient in a solid state. The patient is now protected from deterioration for theoretically thousands of years, and the dying process has been effectively stopped.

Cryoprotectants are perfused into the bloodstream to reduce and even prevent freezing. Uncontrolled freezing would cause damage to the blood vessels, brain, and other organs.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL BUILDING HIGH RISE-ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN With the development of globalisation and closer communication between countries, cultural development often becomes more localised in the process of dissemination, and how cultural communication can reflect its uniqueness in different contexts.

The project is based on the theme of 'China Pavilion' and uses traditional wood materials as the basis for the construction of a multi-functional high-rise building that will serve as a medium for the dissemination and integration of culture, making it more accessible to a wider audience and promoting its development.

The project transforms a number of complex and contradictory aspects into a rational and uniquely attractive balance within the different contexts that create spatial interconnections.

PARAMETRIC RECONFIGURATION-URBAN DESIGN The continuous development of public transport has gradually influenced people's travel patterns and living habits, resulting in changes in people's requirements for urban public space and public life. In this project, I try to explore the new model of people's life under the TOD model, integrating the concept of green and low-carbon with the model of urban development, and combining the changes in people's lifestyles, behavioural patterns, urban space needs and the development of the site space in the context of "low-carbon". The project also analyses the needs of urban rail transport development and proposes corresponding measures according to the existing social development issues.

The project is based on an algorithmic reconstruction of the urban road network through the use of grasshopper tools, gradually forming a diverse urban space oriented towards chronicity, and optimising the urban spatial structure through the introduction of vertical spaces, i.e. commercial, office and residential complexes.

SITE STATUS & STRATEGY BACKGROUND With rapid urbanisation and the equally rapid development of rail transport, the TOD model has been an assured and popular model of significant urban and architectural development in recent years through its own land use planning formula, mixeduse land development, proximity to public transport facilities, station-city integration and encouragement of low-carbon modes of transport.

URBAN GENERATION STRATEGY

Reducing carbon emissions

The urban roads are updated by means of neighbourhood reconfiguration through wool algorithms that rationalise the distribution of the road network and buildings within the site, making the buildings compact through the distribution of smaller neighbourhoods, while providing more options for pedestrians to travel and improving accessibility.

URBAN ROAD NETWORK GENERATION STEPS

The public can reach any part of the city by a combination of public transport and walking and cycling

URBAN SPACE DESCRIPTION

TOD CENTER DESCRIPTION

Volume formation analysis TOD Regional Centresr

Urban two-storey corridor An urban two-storey corridor that connects the buildings into a pedestrian network corridor to promote walking trips.

A multifunctional high-rise tower with a metro system on the ground floor and a variety of industries above.

Contains: shopping, dining, education, entertainment, offices, hotel flats, etc.

Bicycle parking areas Located at entrances to metro stations and in high-traffic areas, forming a complete cycling system with cycle paths

Perspective Analysis

Tower Program

The ground floor is mainly public space and plaza green space, the bottom floor is for commercial applications, the first floor corridor also brings a large number of people to the commercial business of the complex, while meeting the needs of the public for travel and shopping, the middle floor is for office applications and the top floor is for residential applications.
