PLANNING

The focus of this project is the place making design along Hui Chai Kou (Zone 1). Besides studying the street itself, we have to take into consideration its surrounding environment. The street functions together with the surrounding areas, including the Fu Tai Shan residences, as well as the existing railway.

As such, we came up with a master planning proposal to comple-ment the revitalisation of Hui Chai Kou.

CASE STUDY 1:KUAN ALLEY AND ZHAI ALLEY, CHENGDU, CHINA

CASE STUDY 2:BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGE, SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

KUAN ALLEY AND ZHAI ALLEYCHENGDU, CHINA

Kuan Alley and Zhai Alley are the last remnants of the Old Shaocheng part of Chengdu that housed the Im-perial officials and soldiers from the Qing Dynasty.

The two alleys are now home to upscale resturants and teahouses and a few art dealers. The original authentic feel of the alleys is mostly gone. The streets are now clean and beautiful. Much of the new architecture was mod-eled after, or built on top of the old existing structures.

However, the new Kuan Alley and Zhai Alley is too commercial-ised, causing it to lose its historical and cultural value . This is large-ly due to the influx of bars, pubs and various modern facilities.

BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGESEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

Bukchon Hanok Village is a 600 years old korean tradi-tional village in Seoul. It is now used as a traditional cul-ture centre that allows visitors to experience the atmos-phere of the urban environment in the Joseon Dynasty.

Hanoks are typically single-story structures made of clay, wood and stone with heated floors. These houses were built keeping in mind the different seasons, keep-ing the house cool in summers and warm in winters.

As compared to Kuan Alley and Zhai Alley, Bukchon Ha-nok Village is definitely more successful in terms of cul-tural preservation. Both the architecture and the spir-it of the neighbourhood is well-preserved. Tourists are able to get the authentic Bukchon experience while still having access to modern facilities. This serves as a great learning model for our revitalisation project.

ZERO ENERGY NEW TOWNGERMANY, WILDPOLSRIED, BAVARIA

Zero Energy New Town in Wildpolsried generates its own en-ergy using solar panels, windturbines and biomass digest-ers. The surplus energy generated is sold to Germany’s elec-tricity grid and serves as a source of income for the residents.

Residents were also sensitised on issues of climate protection via seminars, excursions and presentations. Other climate friend-ly measures such as energy saving schemes, water manage-ment strategies and timber structures are also implemented.
