#Individual Project
Site E
This uses recessed space to create space
along the riverside to meet the usage
needs of both visitors and local residents.
The recessed space improves existing
breaks in activities caused by high-speed
traffic flow and the resulting feeling
of absence caused by travelers passing
through quickly.
Site D
An informal event platform provides
a space for student groups to perform
or for migrant workers to unwind. An
outdoor gallery along the riverside
provides an opportunity for visitors to
get exposed to local art.
Site C
Traditional markets have clear temporal
natures, and the placement of elements
allows the space to be used more
efficiently. Once the morning markets
are closed, the spaces can also be used as
exploratory classrooms for elementary
school students.
Site B
Two distinct, but adjacent open spaces are distinguished
by type of physical activity, with paths linking the two and
supporting a continuous jogging path through the city.
The largest open space in the area is also integrated, providing
a space for sports and performance. It also offers somewhere
for local residents with different recreational goals to mingle.
Site A
Through the use of a stratified park form, I connect various
activities in cultural and residential areas, including everyday
education, sport, and recreation. Patches for urban birds are
also provided. This area improves existing broken green belt
and pedestrian space.
