21 Urban Texture Redevelopment

WIND TURBINE ASSEMBLY HUB WIND TURBINE BLADES WASTE

Based on my research, the part of setting research questions and collecting data from existing site are the two most important pieces of my research.

During the group discussion with my partner, we are trying to pursue an architecture form that has positive effect on urban decay. Urban Acupuncture is a proposal addressed by Jaime Lerner, “City”, a product unique to humans, with extremely complex structures and operating methods, places us at the man-made border between nature and nature. Seemingly isolated from nature, it actually relies on symbiosis and co-prosperity with all things in the ecology. Therefore, our research transit from vertical green building design to landformation progress in urban redevelopment to reduce urban decay or revive a forgotten urban space.

How do we define an urban space that is decaying or forgotten? Site analysis, demographic data collection, and government land use proposal are all related to the project. Therefore, the opportunity to narrow down the research is how to select a site that matches the problems of urban decay. The research will start with the site analysis to collect data and conditions of site. Geographical information, demographic data, political restrictions, zoning regulations should be one of the methods that drives our design focus.

In conclusion, first of all, the site background research, it could be done through collecting gathered necessary data and facts that supported the proposal from sources of factual information like libraries, journals, research papers, and legitimate and verified internet websites. Next, to evaluate design factors with climates and site background research, this research will use the hypothetical building model. The model will assist us in determining external design considerations: building form(landformation), facades, and building layout in respect to regional climate characteristics and site info at the early stage of the design process.
