[Xiangmi Lake] Volunteer's Research Journal

July 25, 2012 18:53

This article showed the research results on the temporary architectures of food shops at Xiangmi Lake by a volunteer participating in the project initiated by Design Center. Based on field research on the lakeside environment and food streets,she found that accessibility to water scenery was limited and utilization of space was low along the lake on the north part of Hongli Road. The major causes to the problems were the wall along the lake which blocked entrance and the recreational facilities which were out of use and led to space waste. Research on food streets led to the conclusion that the spontaneously formed food shops were distinctive in style yet the sanitary condition ramained to be improved.

[Xiangmi Lake] Cases Relevant to Research on Spontaneous Buildings of Food Shops at Xiangmi Lake

July 13, 2012 10:07

This article compiles some research on informal sapce, including case of spontaneous buildings of many cosmopolitan cities such as Taipei, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Beijing. Informal space is often judged by its much-maligned management logic and visual effects. These cases could help us better understand the rationale behind the formation and existence of informal space from perspectives like living condition and the rationality of people. Thus, the article is expected to provide reference for the research on the spontaneous buildings of food shops at Xiangmi Lake.

[Research of Xinqiang Community] News Reports: Approaching Xinqiang—Observation on Planning Transformation of a Marginal Community in Shenzhen

June 19, 2012 00:27

Perhaps out of geopolitical reasons, Xinqiang Community has been left behind the explosive development of Shenzhen in the past 30s years. Its poverty and underdeveloped condition can be fully demonstrated by problems like much slower development in various aspects, a severe shortage of infrastructures and a high proportion of low-income households reaching 1/3 of the total.
From the point of urban planning, the difficulties of Xinqiang are more than these. The first is the complexity of the land situation, i.e. the unclear range of lands excluded from expropriation, extremely intricate ownership and usage of compensated land, unplanned land, publicized unsold land, controversial land, land with ground attachments compensated and capital farmland and other tricky problems. What's more, almost 90% of the land in the Community has been included in the essential area of protecting ecology, which means development space is rather limited.

[Shenzhen Bay Technology and Ecology City] Shenzhen Bay Technology and Ecology City—An Example of High-Density Development

May 30, 2012 17:28

Commissioned by the Shenzhen Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Center for Design developed the master plan for Shenzhen Bay Technology and Ecology City (b-TEC) in collaboration with Shenzhen Instutite of Building Research Co., Ltd. (IBR). After case studies and public workshop discussions, Design Center finally adopted the strategy of Multiple Ground City (MGC), which consists of three-ground public and semi-public spaces including Streets and Squares Ground, Web Garden Ground, and Hanging-Garden Ground. Limited by high density, the design tried to create as many pleasant spaces and green areas as possible. The MGC concept finally served as a space control guide in the master plan to direct the following architectural design competition.

[Urban Sculpture] Research Methods of Revision of Master Planning of Urban Sculpture in Shenzhen

May 30, 2012 17:22

Urban sculpture is an old concept. Its transition to the concept of public art means that the development of sculpture-public art is no longer merely determined by artists and relevant departments, but by the active participation of the public, intervention of media and change of mindset of politicians and local government.

[Shenzhen Bay Technology and Ecology City] Design Results of b-TEC

May 29, 2012 07:49

Entrusted by the Shenzhen Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Center for Design developed the master plan for Shenzhen Bay Technology and Ecology City (b-TEC) in collaboration with Shenzhen Instutite of Building Research Co., Ltd. (IBR). The final design adopted the strategy of Multiple Ground City, including three layers of public and semi-public spaces of Streets and Squares Ground, Web Garden Ground, and Hanging Garden Ground. The plan was based on the status quo of Shenzhen which was a scarcity and scattered distribution of land resources for development, and aimed to deal with issues Chinese metropolitans are facing in urban development: waste of land resources, lack of human scale spaces, traffic jam and lack of bicycle lanes and sidewalks. It was hoped that this project would set a good example for urban developments in China.
