AIMSWe seek to address the impact of rapid urbanization in the context of anideal quality of life, cultural depth, and economic opportunities in current andfuture development in Shenzhen, China. Our goal is to create the conditionswhich will facilitate these aims by capitalizing on the cultural fabric andorganizational logic of old Hu-TongsHu-Tongs and the carrying capacity of newer highrise developments in Urban VillagesUrban Villages. From this we aim to identify developableareas which embody these qualities for implementation of a rational prototype.

DESTINATION SHENZHEN

Here we show the arrival vectors to Shenzhen, including from Northern China, and discuss the attributes of Shenzhen which make it the choice of so many immigrants. We discuss the paradox of a dwindling workforce despite ever increasing wages and arrive at the conclusion that the problem is intrinsic to the housing situation in Shenzhen.

SHENZHEN IN THE PAST

Just 3 decades ago primary industries centered around fi shing and agriculture.Population density was very low with the total population of Shenzen fallingbelow 30,000 individuals.

1980

10

SHENZHEN IN THE PRESENT

Rapid population growth and urban expansion came after the creation fo theSpecial Economic Zone. Currently the population hovers around 7,000,000and migrants fl ock to factory labor positions in droves. Sing-story Hu-Tongs--older, low density villages--are now enveloped by very dense high-risedevelopments in these new Urban Villages.

2014

MAPPING PHASE

The mapping phase was intended to bring each member of our group up to speed on the current geographical and contextual conditions present in the arrival city of focus, Shenzhen, China. Through intense research of thelocations of programmatic, transportation, industrial, village and ecologicalinfrastructure, we were able to consider the cultural interfl ow and how theseconditions effect the transfer of culture from Old Hu-Tongs into more modernUrban Villages.

MAPPING

The diagram at top right illustrates the dispersion of Urban Villages throughout Shenzhen. Collecting dataon the locations of Urban Villages allowed us to begin rationalizing a focus on a more specifi c area of Shenzhen,such as the district of Guangming. The diagram at bottomright is a failed attempt to illustrate this mapping data asa collection of extrusions. The goal was to illustrate theinformation in a way that would reveal relationships thatwere otherwise unknown.

The diagram at top right illustrates the dispersion of population density throughout Shenzhen. Collectingpopulation data further allowed us to rationalize a focus on a more specifi c area of Shenzhen, such as the districtof Guangming. The data is highly diagramatic, with concentric rings representing an approximation of thefall-off that population radiating from the center of eachof Shenzhens districts. The diagram at bottom is a failedattempt to illustrate this population density as a collectionof pointed extrusions. The goal was to illustrate theinformation in a way that would reveal relationships thatwere otherwise unknown.

MAPPING

The top diagram shows the comparison of rain collectionwith average temperature inversed below. This comparison was intended for the purpose of determining which locations in the city of Shenzhen collected the majority of the 6.2inches average of rainfall which would fall in one year. The temperature data comparison began to show a correlation with increased temperatures leading to less overall rainfall in that given area in a years average. The average temperatureof Shenzhen in a year is 80.25 degrees Fahrenheit. Betweenthe months of April and September, Shenzhen faces increasing temperature and rainfall due to the location on the South China sea leading to the city being deemed an area of high typhoon threat.

The diagram below was developed from the use of Vasari, a wind vector simulation software with the topography of the city of Shenzhen. Its purpose was to visually see wind vector patterns from the predominant North Easterly fl ow through the city of Shenzhen. We planned on using this datato interpret pollution migration, weather and evaporativecooling patterns in order to locate an area of focus for deployment of our fi nal mesh. Issues included accuracy andscale of the very large city of Shenzhen. However, the data aided us in focussing down our area of focus to a districtwithin Shenzhen which later allowed us to gather more relevant and detailed data.

Demonstrating the new development with relation totime, one can begin to get a sense of how quickly the city of Shenzhen has populated itself. Each nodeRepresented here shows a building that was constructed in that year, further demonstrating not only the growth of the city, but also where dense areas of the cities are starting to populate

MAPPING Building Development Over Time

18

Nodes representing programmatic building types. Violet being government, yellow being commercial, green asresidential, and red showing industrial buildings through-out the city of Shenzhen. The issue with this beginningstage of mapping was the pure scale and density of the city was so large, causing a lot of the information to beabstract representation at best. It was from this point that it was evident that a focus area or district would have to be decided upon to represent such information muchmore accurately.

MAPPING

Major Intersections

The objective of this diagram was to show the subwayroutes in the densest part of Shenzhen to see how publictransportation was developed around the existing urbanfabric

The issue with this diagram is that it does not show thecomplete network of the subway system which could haveindicated less dense areas to help us with our focus. Whilethe subway system for this dense part of Shenzhen iselaborate and complete and even indicates that this is thedensest and most populated area in Shenzhen, it doesnot tell us anything about the Guangming district that weeventually focus on

The outcome of this slide really helped influence ourdecision to map all of Shenzhen and move away from thedense area but also showed how subway systems andstops can have a big influence of how the built environmentdevelopes

The issue with this diagram was that it istoo pixelated and does not show the totalconnection of all the roads and railways inShenzhen

The outcome of this slide is that it showsthe density and connectivity of the lower ar-eas and led us to move away from this areaand map all of Shenzhen to narrow downour options for deploying a prototype

MAPPING

The purpose of this mapping layer was tolocate as many reservoirs in Shenzhen tosee where people might be getting theirfresh water from because water contamina-tion is a huge problem

The issue with this slide is that there aremany more reservoirs that were just toosmall to locate at this scale and too many tofind to mark them all

The outcome of locating the major reser-voirs is that it allowed us to further locate allthe reservoirs in the Guangming District andsee where streams went and to see howthese reservoirs affected the flooding area

MAPPING

The purpose of this diagram was to show basicair pollution in most of the districts in Shenzhenthat could possibly lead us to avoid specificareas. It also clearly shows which areas arepossibly more dense than other areas

The issue with this diagram is that the infor-mation is very generalized and does not coverevery area of Shenzhen. This diagram alsodoes not tell the severity of the pollution and itsperimeter area

The outcome of this slide was that it shows thepossible locations of denser areas and gave usmore of an incentive to find more data aboutpollution because it is known that China has ahuge problem with pollution

Connectivity here gives a relationship between hu-tongs, and programs that are located within a mile diameter of the village. With this indexing, we can see what areas/programs are not easily accessible by the people that live in these areas. Intern, the programs that are notaccessible by the hu-tongs may be accessable with our open spaces that will be developed in the mesh, thuscausing less development costs of building in the proto-typing stage .

MESHING PHASEOnce indexed relationships were defi ned, the group began to cull indexing layers that would be most useful for creating a mesh. The mesh was developed by aprocess of fi ltering which resulted in a distilation of factors based on transportationrange, fl ood zone, pollution, and buildable slopes.

MESHINGThe nature of the meshing process is inherently complex and requires parallel lines of reasoning. To aid our development we created a simple diagram which illustrates the meshing process of using indexing layers as fi lters togenerate two connectivity conditions--high and low.

CRITIQUE REVIEWWe recorded all comments and suggestions from critiques John Abell and Darrin Greichen in order to provide a basis for us tocontinue our research. Moving on into the mesh prototyping phase, we will strive to answer these questions and build upon the ideas that were addressed in order to develop a healthy tissue capable of supporting a hybrid culture between Urban Villages and Hutongs.

What are pre-conditions that allowed Hutongs to emerge? -The need of rural districts with their limited transportation techniques to have a common zone for commerce, this in turn created precursors to the urban fabric

What defi nes a healthier tissue? -Balanced interaction of culture, built environment and land use

What is it that we want from Hutongs? -The proximity of programmatic spaces within the Hu Tong creates a rich tissue which we want to populate over a much larger cell within the urban fabric.

One of the most interesting aspects of our project is the migration from asylum countries. Unstable, instability, not values, no integration. How do wewant to explore this concept? -If we decide to pursue these factors as driving the intent of our intervention, we will need to parse out the nuances of them and fi nd out what they really mean. For example, seeking refuge from instability, what is instability and what are the factors that drive the instability.

What is the name for this new hybrid community embracing aspects of culture from Urban Villages and Hutongs? Prof. Abell describes this newcommunity as spicy and edgy. -We feel trying to pin down a name would be premature, however the fi nal identifi er will hinge on the qualities of cultural engagement and connectivity we seek to achieve.

What does connectivity mean? Not well explained. It geographic or central or non-geographic connectivity? -Our connectivity of our fi nal mesh was non-geographical abstraction of proximity which we failed to translate to real world conditions. Thenext step is to interpret these proximity connections to the existing fl ow networks.

Where is this data coming from? We need to show where this data originated from and what its relevance is. -The timeline and schedule of this project doesnt allow us to fully exploit the data collected, however we plan to display relevant data wherea resource may be termed useful.

PROTOTYPINGThe resulting mesh capitalizes on areas in Guangming which yeild relativelylow connectivity betwen Hu-Tongs, Urban Villages, and Open Spaces. We consider this low connectivity and density the basis for the ideal cultural conditions we seeek. Emergent qualities willl inform the next phase of projectdevelopment through prototyping.
