Renovation of the Waterfront Habitations in Informal Settlement Areas

Location: BASECO Compound, Manila Bay

Academic Architectural Design Project Individual Work

As urban development trends increasingly toward servicing the wealthy, cleverasdnd inventive schemes that take the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of the urban underprivileged will have a great importance. asda

In this project, various strategies are involved in different scales to address the current situation at Baseco Compound. At the larger scale, production schemes are taken into consideration to deal with the food. At a smaller scale, community life programs are diversifed and the housing programs are better orgranised and typhoon-resistant.

The materails and construction logic are both local and economical, which is specifcally oriented towards the urban underprivileged. Finally, we hope that this site serves as a model and inspires architects and urban designers to take on greater responsibility for society.

Fukushima Nuclear Power Station

Residential Design in the Post-nuclear

Location: Fukushima, Japan

Academic Urban Design Project

Individual Work

The site of this design is located in Fukushima, Japan, where a catastrophic nuclear accident took place on March 11, 2011, following an earthquake and tsunami. The Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant experienced a leak of radioactive pollutants, which led to the release of substantial amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes into the Pacifc Ocean. Professor Michio Aoyama, of the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, estimated that during the accident, 18,000 terabecquerels (TBq) of radioactive caesium-137 were released into the Pacifc Ocean (GBq) and there were still 30 gigabecquerels (GBq) of caesium-137 fowing into the ocean daily 2 years after the leak in 2013. The accompanying image seeks to depict the fow of nuclear pollutants.

Given the growing number of nuclear power plants in our society, the threat of nuclear pollution continues to rise. This design aims to address the issue of nuclear pollution through urban design. The concept of atmospheric and ocean circulations can be utilised to understand the transport mechanisms of radioactive substances. The spread of contamination depends on the emission amount, the volume of air involved, and the deposition of pollutants through rainfall and snow. Transport and diffusion patterns may change over time.

The design consists of three loops: one for the decontamination of nuclear power plants, one for preventing pollution from reaching fshing grounds, and one for collecting uncontaminated rainwater from neighbouring cities. The urban design aims to make the city's water source self-suffcient by collecting uncontaminated rainwater, while some groundwater and land have become contaminated.

Intervention Strategy

One of the loop is a device used for decontaminating nuclear plants. It is situated on the site surrounding the nuclear facility. It has the capability to mitigate pollution issues.

One of the loop, with its primary function as a fshing grounds, connects various marine areas with factories on land in order to prevent pollution from affecting densely populated areas.

The rainwater collection loops is located in the city to gather clean, unpolluted water for community use. The site boasts several bio-reserve loops, designed to effciently collect and store rainwater.

To Purify Pollution

Two fltration systems are employed to purify the cooling water contaminated by nuclear pollution, thereby reducing the overall level of pollution.

After being cooled by groundwater and ocean water, nuclear waste water is discharged into frozen soil for further cooling. The electricity generated from this process is used for power generation and facilitate rapid cooling.

Waste Park

Renewal of waste incineration and landfll park into urban cultural park.

Location: Jiading, Shanghai

Academic Urban Design Project

Individual Work

With the rapid pace of urban development and the enhancement of living conditions, more and more garbage is appearing. Both landfll and garbage incineration are widely recognised as environmentally damaging waste disposal methods, while recycling is often overlooked.

Until the 21st century, in order to protect the environment, numerous environmental protection policies have been introduced. Despite these efforts, a lot of waste continues, and the main obstacle to recycling is the lack of public awareness of recycling. In order to fundamentally solve the emergence of excessive waste generation and the low recycling awareness, this design proposes transforming a waste incineration landfll site into an urban cultural park through the implementation of waste recycling. The design process will utilise machine learning techniques, a novel design approach that combines designs and computing breaking away from the traditional design methods.

The purpose of the design is to convert the polluted landfll into a cultural park in the city addressing the environmental problems caused by landflls and incineration. By showcasing the reuse of a large number of recycled materials in the park, the design hopes to increase public awareness of resource recycling, thereby reducing the occurrence of household waste and increasing the rate of waste recycling.

History and Theory

Architecture is evolving with the development of technology, and numerous distinct styles have emerged over hundreds of years. With the introduction of machine learning, architecture constructed from recycled materials will undergo transformation.

Methodology

Showing waste disposal and reuse

This design aims to plan and construct a factory + exhibition space to showcase the steps involved in recycling and reusing waste. Wastes are processed and transformed into materials, which are then used to construct the walls of the exhibition, and the wastes can be further recycled and reused to create everyday essentials.

Construction with recycled materials

This project employs machine learning and intelligent construction techniques. The design of parks and exhibition buildings is generated through machine learning and adjusted in real time using intelligent construction technology.

GAN Result of the Site

There have been two large factories on the site retained in the design, and the remaining area has been used to incorporate diverse functions through machine learning. A signifcant quantity of park samples were utlised as a reference, and the fnal layout is generated by interative learning of the samples.

Architectural Program

The site uses recycled materials to digitally construct six interconnecting buildings open for public access. These buildings serve as exhibition hall, storage facilities, offces, workshops and open spaces.

The site retains two waste treatment factories,which were used to deal with urban waste. Some of the recycled materials will be used for exhibition.

There are two distinct circulation paths on the site, the red pathway is intended for public use.

While the blue pathway is designated for private use.

The groups and Buildings in this design are the result of machine-learning-assisted generation. The monomers are made from recycled materials, combined with intelligent construction and machine- algorithm design. The entire park showcases a new urban design idea. Each building group is constructed of small cubic materials and spliced together by mechanical technology.
