INVITE

CHORA would like to cordially invite you to participate in a trans-regional

exclusive book titled, Taiwan Strait Atlas Manual for a Smart Region (TSA),

a vision for the worlds fi rst low-carbon Smart Region. The book is the

compendium of an 8-year on-going research project; Taiwan Strait Smart

Region (TSSR).

The book is not a commercial venture, it is the result of years of independent

research and hard work to achieve a common goal; to make a lasting

contribution to how we will design and live in cities in the future. It is also an

urgent necessity; the combination of knowledge, research and process has

never been thought and placed together before, a fi rst ambitious alliance

between governments, commercial enterprises and the community on a

open regional platform.

The current target stands at 140,000. It is needed to complete the fi nal

research, copy editing, fi nalisation of graphics, translation, editing, and the

publishing of three versions in English, Simplifi ed Mandarin Chinese and

Traditional Mandarin Chinese and general travel expenses for the book

launch in the Taiwan Strait.

Your donation is especially crucial to kick-start the publishing process, a

unique cross-strait book launch and stakeholders gala dinner. CHORA is

eager to proceed with these plans to enable your further participation in the

book and also to meet with stakeholders of various industries with Smart-City

interests.

CHORA would like to fund the fi nal stages from key corporations who will

most benefi t from this book and the audience it will reach. Independence

and autonomy has always been key to the project, with most of the work

produced by volunteers without compromising on the quality of research,

design, publishing and extent of distribution.

INTRODUCTION

TOP Prof. Raoul Bunschoten (Director, CHORA) at the TSSR Conference, ECCT in Taichung (European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan). October 2012.

CHORA is an architecture, urbanism and research cloud that was established in 1993 by Prof. Bunschoten. They operate as a cloud of research, teaching and practice clusters in London, Berlin and China. CHORA has a long-term commitment to developing new methods for architectural design and urban planning that help mitigate and adapt to the challenges of climate change.

Prof. Bunschoten is also a partner of the New Energy Science and Technology Industry Advancement Association of FuJian Province, an alliance of industrial partners with the common goal of creating innovative pilot projects that bring positive change to the cities and people in the Taiwan Strait region.

CHORA has become a specialist in combining urban design and energy planning, and has initiated innovative methods to coordinate ranges of energy effi cient and renewable energy technology in cities and regions. Developed by dozens of volunteers including architects, planners, scientists and designers on three continents. The TSSR Manual is a comprehensive book and tool for a sustainable future. The approved and fi eld-tested methodology of the Urban Gallery is used throughout the manual to demonstrate the possibilities of creating new Smart City Project within dynamic planning.

Partners in this project are: CHORA research TU Berlin London Metropolitan University Xiamen University NCKU in Tainan TsingHua University National Taiwan University

CHORA remains independent from any specifi c organisation therefore this invitation is intended to introduce you to PHASE 1 OF FUNDING towards the reality of the Taiwan Strait Atlas Manual for A Smart Region (TSA) and the book launch at the Taiwan Strait crossing Xiamen and Taichung.

7SMART CITIES

The technological and digital age in which we live in, results in many innovations and products that have the potential to reduce our impact on the planet (carbon footprint), and also to improve our lives.

These range in scale and use, from a new kind of motion sensor, to innovations in large scale infrastructure and renewable energies. Transforming into new models for social development.

The challenge lies in integrating these technologies into our cities in meaningful ways, and nudging the cultural change necessary to do so.

A city that can do this successfully is what we defi ne as a Smart City.

China is the fastest growing market in the fi eld of Smart Cities. The Chinese government have announced 103 cities and city districts designated to become Smart City pilots within 2014.

The program is expected to trigger a potential market of more than 30 billion yuan ($4.8 billion).

XIAMEN CITY ENERGY MASTERPLANComissioned by the Xiamen City Government

Location: Xiamen, Fujian, ChinaScale: City districtStage: Submitted ProposalPartners: Green ActionTimescale:2009

Xiamen City Energy Masterplan was commissioned to Chora by the city of Xiamen in 2010. A long term overall energy masterplan for the city, outlining each stage of work and short, medium and long term goals. Infrastructure, energy sources and building program would all be under redevelopment, bringing a new form of economy to the city. Integrating the 5 points, CHORA drew up a long term overall energy masterplan for the city 1. Research and analysis of the context in Xiamen, including the states of the various building typologies and infrastructure. 2. Derive pilot sites for energy effi ciency and renewable energy projects according to districts or project categories. 3. Study of local and international energy effi ciency and renewable energy technology, including the production, manufacturing, fabrication of the tech-nologies. This is essential to be in consideration in the overall masterplan. 4. Case studies of such technologies in other countries, as well as the relevant regulations and policies. 5. Understand the economic operation for energy effi ciency and renewa-ble energy technology. These include investors, fi nancial partnership, and international funding options.

The Xiamen City Energy Masterplan was exhibited in Xiamen and Dusseldorf.TOP Stilwerk Exhibition, Dusseldorf, Germany. 2010

TAICHUNG LOW CARBON MASTERPLAN

Comissioned by the Department of Urban Development,

Taichung City Government

Location: Taichung, Taiwan

Scale: City district

Stage: Submitted Proposal

Partners: Dept. of Architecture, Taichung University

SCS Architects Associates

Timescale:2009

CHORA is commissioned jointly with TungHai University to create a study

for the reduction of CO2 emissions and energy management for the City of

Taichung in the context of Climate Change. This masterplan overlay a detailed

strategy for implementing effi cient and renewable energy pilot projects onto

the existing and potential development, using a holistic planning approach to

propose an Energy Incubator.

A review of the citys current situation, case studies, and proposals for

pilot projects at six specifi c sites, as well as key issues and action plans for

implementation will be included in the fi nal report to be presented on 7th

August 2009.

A further presentation of this pioneering masterplan proposal could

potentially take place at the INTA conference October 2009 organised by

Taichungs Department of Urban Development.

Taichung is undergoing massive changes. Constant population infl ux, new

project in both old and new areas of the city, and a formidable list of urban

renewal projects underway at the Old City Centre, Dado Mountain and the

Old Airport, as well as Governments vision and funding to develop the city

into a marine logistic hub. In order to maintain its competitiveness in the

Global economy marathon, as well as sustaining the high living standard

enjoyed by its residents, a concise overall urban strategy for management of

energy and urban development is crucial.

The overall Strategic Energy Masterplan takes into account the next 10

years of development in the city of Taichung. It derives a plan where carbon

emission reduction of the city could be in line with Governments aim of 40%

by 2020, and 80% reduction by 2050.

WHY?

Taichung City has been awarded as being one of the ten best Intelligent Cities1, and Xiamen has been designated one of eight special Low Carbon Cities2.

Models for a task force and management of Smart City and Low Carbon Planning could be undertaken jointly and selected projects can be developed simultaneously and used to compare performance and monitoring issues.

Taiwan Strait Atlas - Manual for a Smart Region (TSA) is necessary to realise the vision for a low-carbon smart region around the Taiwan Strait. This research and proposals of projects is aimed towards developing an overall plan to meet internationally agreed targets and create the necessary managerial structure.

Taiwan Strait Atlas - Manual for a Smart Region (TSA) exists as:

PART 1. TAIWAN STRAIT ATLAS PART 2. MANUAL FOR A SMART REGION

Both are needed and integral to the vision and demonstrates a new way to plan a large region for the world. The aim is to integrate cultural change with low-carbon design, enable intelligent city planning and innovative new technologies.

THE BOOK

WHY?

The Taiwan Strait is a complex geopolitical region at the heart of the Pacifi c Rim and a shallow sea between Taiwan and Mainland China. This makes mapping the Taiwan Strait, as an emergent urban region, new and unique.

CHORA and partners has acknowledge and used as a spatial design incubator to demonstrate possibilities of smart, low-carbon urban and rural planning on a large scale Smart Region

In 2006, the Taiwan Strait Smart Region (TSSR) project was initiated. Joost Grootens, a prominent book designer in the Netherlands specialises in research information design will be spearheading the fi nalisation for the TSA book in November 2013. Co-Editors, Prof. Liu Shunren, from the Department of Architecture, National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, Prof. Wang Shaosen,Dean of The School of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Xiamen University, in Xiamen and Mr. Liu Yuyang, Director of Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects (ALYA) in Shanghai.

They form the TSSR Taskforce and have collaborated closely over these past 8-years of research across departments, disciplines and borders. Which makes the book an exciting document for more discoveries and bolder decisions to be taken urgently in the region and beyond.

PART 1. TAIWAN STRAIT ATLAS

PART 1. TAIWAN STRAIT ATLAS

The Atlas maps the existing conditions in the region surround the Taiwan Strait. It is used to provide a visible connection to the two sides of the Strait, defi ning the region as a design space to encourage international collaboration and effort in climate change. This is done through the consistent analysis of cities on either side of the strait: Xiamen and Taichung.

The fi nalisation of the graphics will be produced and parsed through Studio Joost Grootens. These are a few examples of the studios reworking of the CHORAs reseearch material.

HistoryT he linkages between M ainland China and Taiwan hadbeen stopped by policy for nearly 50 years s ince the IIworld war in 1949. A fter a lot of difficul- ties , there aredirect links between M ainland Chi- na and Taiwan esta-blished finally. T he s ignificant progress dates andevents are lis ted as following:

PART 2. MANUAL FOR A SMART REGION1 - TAIWAN STRAIT ATLAS: MANUAL FOR A SMART REGION (TSA) BOOK

PART 2. MANUAL FOR A SMART REGION

The second part is a Design Manual for how to deal existing and new activities within the region.

We can think of the Manual as a cookbook for Smart Cities. Each spread in the Manual describes a recipe for a single pilot project or a combination of pilot projects. The ingredients of the project(s) are displayed in the Urban Gallery found on the left page of the book. The pilot project(s) and methods (refer to page 23 for description Pilot Project spread samples)

Frames are drawn around key territories, each one forming a spread in the manual. Each frame is dealt with according to the CHORA methodology; The Urban Gallery. The methodology brings together existing infrastructure, local stakeholders, government targets and low carbon technologies to form a strategy for each frame. Each frame is played like a game, using the cards from the Urban Gallery.

As a spatial design incubator, the methodology Urban Gallery allows stakeholders and communities to recreate and rethink new possibilities and cross-exchange ideas and while generating reactions from probable outcomes. This urgent document reveals hundreds of interconnected pilot projects and technologies that together demonstrate the backbone for Smart Cities and Smart Regions.

City planners, governments and developers can use this cookbook to formulate Smart City Projects in cities all over the world quickly and decisively.

OPPORTUNITIES

The target readers are principally city offi cials; as a guidebook for smart urban and(or) rural planning, however we anticipate a large interest from the education sector and professionals within the design and construction industries.

ALIGNMENTWe invite companies that specialise in innovation and technology to have their products appear in the publication. We are looking for products that show real innovation and prototypical ideas.

Presence within this unique publication offers exposure to two rapidly growing markets: both the Chinese construction market, and the worldwide Smart Cities market. We are highly selective in the content of the book, so will champion any products that are featured within.

RESOURCE AND MARKETINGOnce published, the book will be widely promoted on international media, with particular presence in China and Taiwan. The book will become a key resource in Smart Development for city planners and developers both within China and worldwide. We have already presented the latest draft book to many city and government offi cials, industry leaders, and fellow designers, receiving overwhelming admiration.

TRUST AND RELATIONSHIPSBy showcasing your product and brand image with an innovative publication, we envision the TSA book can supplement your corporate book towards expanding client bases and forge on-going and new business relations.

You will have the opportunities to make contact with the Chinese and Taiwanese government, city mayors, corporations, chief city planners and designers, through CHORAs own partnerships and new partners forge through this process of direct contact within similar market groups towards building values of Smart Cities.

X_6Off-the-grid energy

Frame DescriptionAn example of one of hundreds of small rural villages sited in the mountainous region surrounding Xiamen City. The economy of these villages is centred around various forms of farming and a little tourism from recreational trekkers. Villages such as this often suffer from a lack of amenities as they are geographically isolated from the main city. Many also are not attached to the citys water or electricity grids, making OLIH GLIFXOW DW WLPHV DQG YHU\simple.

Project DescriptionSupplying energy to isolated communities presents a dilemma to the city government. The cost of stretching the electricity grid into these rural villages is huge in relation to the number of inhabitants in the village. The frame demonstrates an alternative to this costly infrastructure. A prototype for off-the-grid solar energy provides a simple plug-and-play system that allows each household to have an autonomous electricity supply, improving the quality of life for rural villagers.

The Taiwan Strait Smart Region (TSSR) Project is the creation of an urban design space in which components of a low carbon society are realised in the form of pilot projects. This design space is a test-bed or incubator for smart city development, the latest concept that envisions cities to take the lead in tackling the challenge of Climate Change and its radical economic, social, cultural and ultimately political consequences.

Participate in the concept for the Taiwan Strait Smart Region (TSSR), one of the worlds fi rst Smart Regions to be developed in a geopolitically exciting but challenging region, the Taiwan Strait.

The immediate product is the publication of the book called the Taiwan Strait Atlas, a Manual for a Smart Region (TSSR). Although the book will be the medium through which the TSSR concept is explained.

Taiwan Strait Atlas, a Manual for a Smart Region (TSA) book versions according to the geographic region involves: 1. Simplifi ed Mandarin Chinese2. Traditional Mandarin Chinese3. English

The development of both concept and book have been eight years in the making, and voluntary contribution from urban designers, architects, graphic designers etc.

[2006]Taiwan Strait Atlas Workshop held in Xiamen and Taichung.

The TSSR project was born in 2006, when Professor Raoul Bunschoten, Liu Yuyang and Joost Grootens travelled to Xiamen and Taichung to hold dual workshops with the Xiamen University and the University of Taichung. They were met in Xiamen by Professor Wang Shaosen, and in Taichung by Professor Liu Shunren, together with students of each university. This was the moment that the maps in the Taiwan Strait Atlas were fi rst drawn, and the concepts for the overall TSSR project sketched out.

CHORA MISSION

CHORA is an architecture, urbanism and research offi ce that was established

in 1993.

Company Overview

CHORA is an architecture, urbanism and research offi ce that was established

in 1993 by Raoul Bunschoten. It has developed a specialisation in the

management of complex situations, in which multiple stakeholders with very

different interests occupy a territory.

Description

CHORA has a long-term commitment to developing new methods for

architectural design and urban planning that help mitigate and adapt to the

challenges of climate change. It operates as a cloud of research and practice

clusters in Berlin, London and China.

CHORA has become a specialist in bringing urban design and energy planning

together and has initiated innovative methods to coordinate ranges of energy

effi cient and renewable energy technology in cities and regions.

CASE PROJECTS:

TAICHUNG, TAIWAN AND XIAMEN, MAINLAND CHINA

The two cities are models for the task force and management of Smart

City and Low Carbon Planning. They could be undertaken jointly and

selected projects can be developed simultaneously and used to compare

performance and monitoring issues.

Timescale: 1-3 years

CHORA, together with Xiamen University and NESTIAAF, are currently in talks

with the Chief Planner of Xiamen about creating a Smart City District in

Xiangan District in the north of Xiamen. The city already has plans for expan-

sion in Xiangan, surrounding the construction of a new airport on Dadeng

Island. Our proposal is to use the planned construction as an opportunity to

put Xiamen at the forefront of Chinese urban expansion, setting an example

for others to follow; a real pilot project for Smart Cities.

XIAMEN UNIVERSITY SMART CAMPUS

Location: Xiamen, Fujian ChinaScale: Public space and pavilionsDescription: A series of small buildings and pavilions in XMU Xiang'an campusStage: Design proposal completedPartners: Xiamen UniversityTimescale: 6-12 months

The new Xiang'an campus of Xiamen University is currently under construction, about 70% completed. The President of Xiamen University has asked CHORA to propose an extra layer to the campus that will bring it to the cutting edge of design, technology and scientifi c advancement. Our proposal is to create a mi-crocosm of a Smart City by introducing a series of follies in the form of research pavilions and experimentation labs that inhabit the landscape of the university. The follies will be monitored and controlled by a central control building, and tied together with a light mobility system. Together, the components represent the ingredients of a smart city, but operating on a smaller scale.

CHORA is featured in the latest issue of DOMUS, within the special edition DOMUS Green. There is

an interview with Professor Raoul Bunschoten, in which he talks about the problems that are currently

facing humanity and how Smart City thinking can help us fi nd the answers. He describes some CHORA

projects that illustrate this point, including our work with the city of Zhalantun in Inner Mongolia Province,

Mainland China. The interview fi nishes with a discussion about literary references and advice to current

architecture and urban design students.

domus Interview with Raoul Bunschoten - August 2013

Tell us something about your projects and how you approach the sustainability matter/topic

Sustainability is a theme that begins to concern a lot of people, and when put in the wider context of

a global, mostly urban, population having to survive Climate Change the term Smart City has become

common. This ter bridges the realm of the internet and its fashionable social network gadgets such as

the Smart Phones, and the awareness of a the need for a new, collective intelligence without which no

solutions for the slowing down of the Greenhouse effect and rising global temperatures will be found.

We are engaged in several Smart City projects, one of them is in a medium sized city called Zhalantun,

situated in Inner Mongolia, north east China, where the chief party secretary has temporarily halted a

large masterplan in order to see if alternatives can be found that are Green, relate more to the local

landscape, organic food industry, and identity of the Inner Mongolian region that has some political

autonomy. In close cooperation with the local authorities and Jiaotong University in Beijing we are

working on a rural-urban smart prototype, something between a village and a small suburban entity.

In addition to that we are working on the publication of a Manual for the Taiwan Strait Smart Region,

a combination of an atlas and low carbon urban cookbook, a Smart City District in Xiamen, a city in

the Taiwan Strait Region, and on some of the cities on the offi cial list of 90 Smart Cities designated by

the Chinese Government. These projects result from a cooperation between the TU Berlin, where I am

professor of Sustainable Urban Planning and Design, and the CHORA Cloud, based in London, Berlin,

and Beijing. At the TU Berlin I have established an institute aimed at Smart City research and am co-

founder of a Smart City laboratory, together with Prof Pahl-Weber.

What your most effective instruments towards ecology and sustainability are

The most important instrument is the design or adaptation of cities in such a way that they meet

nationally and internationally agreed targets of Greenhouse gas reductions, and the slowing down of

rising global temperatures. This needs a kind of new cultural and political intelligence simplifi ed through

the term Smart City. Practically speaking this means the increased integration of infrastructures related

to energy and GHG emissions, and in a fusion of systems that lead to the potential of energy neutral,

or energy positive cities. Special tools in this process are Incubators, developing city districts or spaces

into living laboratories, the development of the BrainBox, an interactive urban laboratory to model city

behaviour, and the Urban Gallery, a planning support tool linking Incubator and BrainBox.

Point out some successful references projects on sustainability

The Hamburg IBA (International Building Exhibition) has initiated several successful prototype projects;

the Energy Centre of the Nottingham University Ningbo, China, branch is a beautiful example of

laboratory and iconic architecture built by an Italian fi rm; Vienna, Copenhagen, Amsterdam all work on

Smart City projects, either on district scale or through city-wide infrastructural development. These and

other cities compete for the title of most successful Smart City, but there are several rating systems

and therefore there are different winners. Many other cities are developing Smart City Districts, with the

cities of Innsbruck and Bozen/Bolzano recently winning large EU grants for demonstration projects and

Smart or Low Carbon masterplans.

Literary references you would suggest

Since the Smart City really is a project for a new kind of Cosmopolis, part global network and part local

habitat, part Utopia and part Informal Slum, any literature on Cosmology is useful, including Dante;

to understand the relationship of humanity with the earth and the universe, then for a beautiful story

about the relationship between human ambition and the necessary pacts with the Devil read Goethe

Faust 2; read anything by John Hejduk, the most important 20th Century Architect/Poet; Cedric Price,

Architect/Cybernetician; a recent Arch + issue called Post Oil City; the book Ecological Urbanism, edited

by Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean of Architecture of Harvard University, published by Lars Mueller, and there

is a host of books on Energy Landscapes.

Suggestions for a young professional starting now

In Vasaris Lives you will fi nd somewhere the epigram: an architect has to think well before he begins his

work. This seems obvious but is even more true in the age where building are responsible for over 40%

of GreenHouse Gas emissions, and cities and their mobility, industry, general lifestyles are responsible

for practically all of the emissions that cause Climate Change. Apart from that Vasari could not foresee

something else: the gender in this profession is changing. Most urban programmes at universities

contain a majority of women. And the thinking Vasari refers to, the Smartness, requires boldness,

creativity, thinking global and local at the same time and thinking in narratives and through intuition.

But do not be afraid to work with engineers, new technologies, scientists, numbers, and, last but not

least, think through team work. This kind of complexity is not new. Palladio worked on buildings that

were effectively farms, and yet he gave their spaces harmony through musical proportions that refer

to a cosmic order. The Twentieth Century architectural historian Rudolf Wittkower stated that in the

Renaissance the proportions in architecture have to embrace and express the cosmic order.., just like

we have to relate to the earth and its dynamics through Climate Change. Palladio is even more specifi c,

although he may call dynamic complexity, or Smartness in contemporary urban language, Beauty. He

says in his I Quattro Libri: Beauty will result from the beautiful form and from the correspondence of

the whole to the parts, of the parts between each other, and of these again to the whole; so that each

structure may appear an entire and complete body, wherein each component agrees with the other and

all components are necessary for the accomplishment of the building.
