between different elements.

Chongqing has rich history and culture. Its urban and architecture forms are unique, as well as footpath system.

Jiangbeizui CBD

Locations of landscape are concentrated, and the relationship between scene and buildings is not very closed.

Jiefangbei Shopping Area

The density of buildings here is too excessive, and it lack of nice natural envionment for consumers.

Ciqikou Folk street

The architectural morphology is in obvious contrast with surrounding buildings, and the boundary is too clear, which means lack of integration.

Shapingba Site

It has a brilliant landscape and location foundation but lack of comprehensive planning. It also has a weak connection between different elevations.

Overall site control

The site is subdivided according to the contour line and roads, and then the specific functional zoning is located according to the location of the plot. Finally, a series block of landscape green belt is used to extend from the river side.

It is a common problem that in a certain area, land is divided into different parts for different functions, but they do not mix well, and lack of balance, which will reduce the quality of life experience of people.

Concept - Find back lost feelings of landscape of ancient Chinese. Strategy - Combine architecture, functions, traffic and landscape together according to the topography

Feelings of landscape

Ancient Chinese people love mountains and rivers a lot, they always built their house along side the river down the mountain. There were also a large number of paintings about mountains and river in ancient China.

Scenic city

Chongqing is a city built on mountains and along the rivers. It interprets the ideal city of ancient Chinese people perfectly.

Riverbank landscape of Chongqing in the past

In the past time, the city of Chongqing was combinated well with the mountain and river around, which looks like a beautiful landscape painting in ancient China.

Riverbank landscape of Chongqing nowadays

Presently, there are too many high buildings in Chongqing, landscape space is squeezed by modern city severeky, the feeling of landscape of ancient Chinese people is vanishing.

Riverbank landscape of Chongqing in the future

In the future, city of Chongqing should combine mordern urban planning with natural landscape in order to get the lost feeling of landscape of ancient Chinese people back again.

Modern Chongqing has aleady lost traditional feelings of landscape of ancient Chinese people, and I hope to recall this feeling again through urban planning.

As the tempo of modern society speed up, more and more young people are under big pressure, especially in tokyo, the biggest city in Japan.In this city, work overtime is very normal. So, many young people would feel very tired during weekdays, as a result, when weekends come, they are more likely to stay at home and be alone to relax. However, in long term, they would lose interest to social with friends and become lonely. On the other side, because of limited salary, many single youngsters prefer to rent an apartment rather than buy a house. In conclusion, as far as I am concerned, maybe there could be a place provide apartment for young people as well as small commercial could involve tenement into business process in order to make more chances for them to communite with each others and any other people who come here. In addition, there would be a share space to connect living space and public space. As a result, residents live in this apartment can maximize their connection to the outside world while maintaining a sense of privacy.
