When moving to a new city, we normally try to find the place that gives us the highest amount of amenities at the lowest price. Moving to Chicago analyses the amount of green infrastructure in Chicago and compares it to the population and budget constraints in order to define the best and worst neighborhoods to live with green infrastructure based on people’s budget constraint.

In every aspect of our site, its design, financial instruments, and development approach, we have remained true to the best parts of Canadian culture and the diversity that makes Toronto great today. The site is in an area where several transportation systems meet, putting Algonquin at the center of the new development in Toronto. In naming the site Algonquin, we tap into a sense of place that is uniquely Canadian, just like its namesake. Our concept is guided by social principles of Canada’s First Nations: I. fostering good spirits by being open, welcoming and inclusive II. respect and care for the land, animals and the environment III.working together for a common cause & decision making through discussion and consensus IV. being innovative and resourceful Background Image Source: Shutterstock

On the one hand, we need to pay attention to changes in land function and population, and add new functions in our site to meet the needs of different groups of people. On the other hand, we need to inherit the history and characteristics of our site. Let culture become the most unique feature of this site, making the land recognizable in Wuhan. We propose the concept of CCD, which defines our site as Central Cultural District in Wuhan. Background Image Source: Shutterstock

From 1916 to 1962, the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens was located near the site on Iroquois Street. In the following years, our site has become Ann Arbor’s “primary office, research, and light industrial corridor.” Paying tribute to the history of gardens and respecting the industrial quality that’s taken over our site, we hope to establish a cohesive ‘botanical industrial’ identity within the development. 43 Background Image Source: Google Earth

Through our spatial analysis, we found that Northern Boulevard contains a physical manifestation of the collision between logics: the automotive/pedestrian, the urban/ suburban, and the formal/informal. Our thesis is that the conflict of these principles represents and supports the heterogeneity and diversity of the constituencies and activities adjacent to the blvd. Then we turned our efforts to Detroit to the Campau/Banglatown neighborhood. Through our streetlife observations in Queens, we created a lens through which to cultivate the seed of our design in Banglatown. Banglatown showed evidence of the same conflicts of formal/informal, urban/suburban, and automobile/pedestrian. We took these cues as an opportunity to manifest a design existing already in spirit.

The existing architecture on the site is called the White House designed by the Designband YOAP Architects. The FAR of the existing White House is 2.0. I suppose that the site is a vacant one and design an experimental architecture pushing the FAR to 6.9, and the green ratio will be 0.9. The main goal of this project is to explore the FAR limit and the redensification rules of Bangbae-Dong. The new architecture would be a mixed one including different types of programs, such as single family living unit, nuclear family living unit, extended family living unit, coffee shop, library, semi public park, private green space, kindergarten, etc. The redensification rules that I developed for Bangbae-Dong are as follows: The basic FAR is 2.0. You can get FAR bonus if you carefully apply the following rules to your architectures: A. You can push your FAR to 5.0 if you: 1. retrofit the sidewalks nearby; 2. design open space for the public; 3. buy other areas’ air rights. B.You can further push your FAR to 6.5-7.0 if you: 1. design amenities to the public; 2. provide parking areas for the public; 3. provide institutional spaces for the public; 4. buy other areas’ air rights. These redensification rules will be generalized in Bangbae-Dong. 91 Background Image Source: Shutterstock

The site is not only located near the Shanghai Railway Station, more importantly, a light-rail station is located right in the site and the subway line 4 and 8 go through the site. There is really a good opportunity for the site to take advantage of these transportation infrastructures. There are two very important lessons that I learned from the precedent city, Hong Kong: 1. It is Never Far from Nature: Juxtaposition of concentrated districts of towers and its landscapes of biodiversity. 2. It has many Connection and Movement in Space: Having established new grounds, new modes of movement are needed to access these different grounds. Based on the researches, my concept of the whole project is creating high-quality density which can balance the urban figure and ground via redefining different types of greenery and circulation. 97

Meanwhile, this situation lowered the accessibility of the river. During this process, many interfaces were formed. The interfaces in between the two land uses, which are industrial and residential, got involved to shape a fair amount of the geographies of Cleveland to some degree. Indeed, the smell, dirt, and noise from the industrysidehavenegativeinfluencesontheneighborhoods on the other side of the interfaces.However, the magnificent scenes of the Cuyahoga industry is definitely a great source to be taken advantage of at the same time. Based on the typologies of the interfaces, different interventions are proposed to make the microenvironments more human oriented and diversified. Since most of the industrial sites are still in use and contribute a lot to the local economy, it does not very wise to retrofit them directly. Instead, humble interventions to the existing interfaces help both sides get along with each other in a better way. Improvement of these microenvironment qualities makes the interfaces softer and more appropriate. 133 Background Image Source: The Cleveland Memory Project

In this project, we set three main design goals, protection, restoration, and resilient development. Our design aims to protect NYC and the residents from sea level rise. Our design restores through pools to control flood water. To ensure resilience, the shoreline is transformed into a landscape with the capacity to address inevitable flooding while providing a safe space for new residential development. In order to achieve our position, we incorporate several wall- and wall- adjacent typologies. We imagine a highly functional wall, the Heterogeneous Bulwark. 161 Image Credit: Kunnong Gu, Yiyang Liu, Lei Nie

- 83. 164 165 Image Credit: Lei Nie SEA LEVEL RISE AND OTHER FEATURES OF NYC When we overlap all of the above elements, we found that the west shoreline of Brooklyn and the shoreline of Lower Manhattan are the most fragile areas in New York City influenced by sea level rise. Most of the population lives in these areas and most of the important institutions and public facilities are in these areas. Since New York City government has already proposed several interventions for Lower Manhattan, but has yet to provide proposals for West Brooklyn, we chose the shoreline Image Credit: Yiyang Liu CURRENT WASTE DISTRIBUTION OF NYC of West Brooklyn as our site to protect the most fragile and important part of the city from flooding. Our research of the waste management system in NYC showed the land prices near different types of waste management facilities was significantly lower than other similar areas without waste management facilities since the noise, dirt, and smell that these facilities produce have negative influences on their surroundings.

Moreover, we found these solid waste facilities are old and need repairs, as most of them were built from 1940s to 1960s.
- 85. 168 169 Image Credit: Kunnong Gu NEW WASTE MANAGEMENT IMAGINATION The current condition of waste processing facilities provides a chance for us to make a change: instead of repairing them, we propose new facilities in new locations which have less influence on their surroundings. Also, as the new processing facilities are built, the waste will become the Image Credit: Yiyang Liu, Lei Nie NEW WASTE MANAGEMENT IMAGINATION resources to help build more reclaimed lands to fulfill our proposal. This result will benefit the public as they get cleaner living environment and will be protected from sea level rise. Output of waste management facilities have diversified uses, such as bulwark construction, energy production, etc.
