THE SMALL INFILTRATES THE LARGEA Process of Urbanization to Address Urban Fragmentation

Urban Design Research Studio | May 2016 | Quito, Ecuador

The project focuses on a process of urbanization in a site of development potential and urban fragmentation.

Quitumbe is located in an area with three ravines going through and gradual topographic change. The area has existing attractors in commercial, recreational, service, and education activities, and will host the last two stops of the citys first metro line to the south end. It is well connected to a regional road network and BRT lines, but local roads are disjointed where human meets nature. Currently the site has been proposed as a neighborhood for superblocks, where buildings of 100% public housing run through the whole block and isolated the community from surrounding. The superblock plan in 2004 has not been pushed progressively. As a result informal settlements gradually have taken over some blocks and create their own notion of community.

The plan recognizes two challenges that the site is facing fragmentation and over-dimension, and seeks solutions from two corresponding perspectives, by increasing connectivity and creating destinations, and by promoting small-scale development modules with more flexibility.

Given the introduction of a multi-model transit station in 4 years, the site which is located within the 10-min walking radius will face development pressure. In order to prepare the site for development and protect low-to-medium income residents, my overall strategy firstly creates a public realm armature of connection and opens spaces with moments of intensity. After establishing a framework of connection and destination, a development vision is more feasible to be implemented to the site. Three types of development are proposed for the plan in response to different block conditions. The first is urban village, a cooperative model between the city and informal settlement.The second type is infill mixed-income duplex, an experimental substitute of pure public housing tested out in Quitumbe. The third type is stacked mixed-income apartment, which can be introduced in the outskirt of the site, filling any space saved after downscaling the Quitumbe plaza and social institution.

The plan emphasizes a process of establishing the public realm armature, creating moments of intensity, understanding the scale, and proposing site-specific solutions. The process is responsive to site condition, development vision, and proposal for the adjacent areas.

SPRING SQUAREULI Competition | Jan 2016 | Atlanta, GA

Spring Square is where technology, arts, and health of Midtown spring. The site is located at a strategically prioritized area where Midtowns commercial district, Downtown Midtown, and various educational and cultural institutions interface, and the plan aims to carry forward the synergy and creates a mixed-use community with intimate nature experience and high level of accessibility for a diverse group of people. Spring Square supports and celebrates the innovation that Georgia Tech, Midtown arts institutions, and local civic organizations bring. It will provide the collaborative, commercial, cultural, and housing real estate for Midtown Atlanta residents, workers, and visitors.

The objectives are: Revamp the public realm and streetscape that deals with the Downtown

Connector; Capitalize on the existing presence of cultural and educational institutions,

and providing a mixed-use development that partners well with them; Support, foster, and accelerate the economic growth of the city by

creating a model for innovation while being equitable, accessible, for a range of incomes and demographics.

With a diverse mix of programs and carefully designed landscape gateway, Spring Square bridges Midtowns creative cultural experience, technological innovation spirit, and walkable healthy community into one site, and let the legacies interact with each other through peoples everyday life.

Visitor : I came to experiencethe art of Atlanta, and was so impressed to find the Spring Square being such a great start of my journey. I met with local artists in their studio here, had an enjoy-able coffee chat next door, and decided to buy two pieces of their works as gift to my friend in SCAD.

Worker : I just graduated fromGIT and decided to start our own company to make AI robots for handicapped people. Very close to campus, we found the WeWork office space with cheap rent and a group of extremely talented people to work with. Also nearby we found cheap apartment to live in. Just across the bridge, we still meet with college friends and professors regularly.

Resident : Looking forward toour first child, my wife and I wanted to seek for place more affordable to us and accessible to our workplace. The new residen-tial project in Spring Square meets every expectation of us. Plus, we get to enjoy live concerts and farmer's market every week!

Artist : I am looking for a studioat great location and reputation to attract potential buyers. The Spring Square is on the top of my list. Close to the MARTA station and within the popular new cultur-al venue, more people will come to see my works. I also heard that Laura Brown, a famous art inves-tor, moved into the new luxury unit just cross the street. Maybe I can meet her in my studio one day!

Student : The Spring Squaretotally changed my life in college! Every morning I go for a jog and grab some breakfast in the Spring Square. When there are NBA games, my friends and I always go to the plaza and watch the games together. Oh by the way, my jazz band is having a concert in that plaza next Saturday. Come join us!

1401-1499 S. COLUMBUS BLVD Site Planning | May 2016 | Philadelphia, PA

The new plan for 1401-1499 S. Columbus Boulevard aims to reconcile Bart Blatsteins current proposal with the objectives in the Master Plan for the Central Delaware, and creates a mixed-use neighborhood that attracts new residents and serves regional consumers with sufficient supply of residential and retail spaces. More importantly, it recognizes the importance of a coherent vision for the Delaware waterfront through increased connectivity and small-scale development.

Specifically, the plan address the following three key principles:

1. Easy access to the waterfront. The plan reserves generous space for a city-proposed waterfront park, and provides continuous public open spaces that lead pedestrians and cyclists to engagewith the water.

2. Sense of neighborhood. Adapting the original programs from Blatsteins proposal, the plan turns isolated big-box retails and residential development into human-scale mixed use blocks. It proposes sufficient street-front retails to activate shared spaces, with apartments on top of the structures. For blocks of lower density, enclosed semi-public open spaces are available for residents in the communities.

3. Active streetscape. Nearly all buildings on site are oriented to have their facades facing pedestrian and bike paths, with vehicular access at the back of the building. The design separates pedestrian activities from heavy traffic, and creates spaces to engage with ground-floor retails and various types of open spaces.

RESILIENT EAST BAY 2050706 Planning Studio | Fall 2015 | Oakland+Alameda, CA

The San Francisco Bay Area is a dynamic metropolitan region comprised of three major population centers, nine counties, and just over 7.5 million people. During the next 35 years the region is expected to grow by over two million people, reaching an estimated population of 9.8 million. This tremendous growth is driven primarily by migration. The technology sector is responsible for much of the Bays economic growth during the last thirty years, and is projected to remain the dominant industry as new and larger companies begin to spread north from Silicon Valley. Jobs associated with this industry tend to be clustered at the high and low end of the wage spectrum, which has resulted in a growing economic divide between local residents. This divide is compounded by a growing housing shortage. As rents increase, residents are often forced to relocate further from the urban center, resulting in longer commutes and increased congestion. All of these factors add up to a tremendous development pressure, which can be used to redeveloped underutilized spaces in a way that improves the quality of life for both current and future residents. There is no place that better demonstrates this potential than the Alameda-Oakland waterfront.

A resilient development strategy for the Alameda-Oakland waterfront must recognize the importance of preserving local communities while improving the quality of life for residents throughout the Bay. To address complex issues such as sea level rise, drought, housing affordability, and traffic congestion, local governments will need to make large-scale investments to redevelop infrastructure and rework development patterns. To be truly resilient, the Oakland-Alameda waterfront must take advantage of these changes to create a better, stronger community for its residents. Is not enough to merely bounce back from disaster, to truly thrive, the waterfront needs to bounce back better than it was before.

VISIONS & PHASING

33

Improve sustainable transport by introducing BRT, and promoting Barclays bike in residential and business areas.

Improve sustainable transport by switching to biofuel.

Promote local employment for maintenance and repairs.

Implement repairs, renovation and redevelopment; promote adaptive reuse.

Legislate sustainable building code regulations.

Adopt New Homes Bonus Scheme.

Create workshops and support centres.

Create partnerships between local authorities and businesses to train local people.

Encourage local residents to participate in the creation and upkeep of urban agriculture in local communities

Use tax reductions to encourage large businesses to give more work to local suppliers and train the unemployed in skilled roles.

Train local businesses on how to utilise e-commerce.

Biofuel creates a heavier dependcy on crop production.

Repairs and Maintence on some properties may be more costly than developing a new building.

Creating a surpluss of trained and skilled individuals may take employment away from other areas of London.

Redevelopment, renovation and urban agriculture programmes might interfere with how people cur-rently use their locales.

Small local businesses may be averse to learning new systems of business such as e-commerce.

Higher population of skilled workers can encourage more businesses to enter these areas.

Switching to biofuel and more sustainable transport can make London a flagship entireprise for sustainabili-ty for other cities globally to emulate .

Urban agriculture may be implementable on a larger scale and help to produce some of the UKs crop yield.

Large companies providing work for local small busi-nesses and training for tax reduction incentives, may allieviete the number of large corporations evading tax or moving business overseas.

Large businesses may be opposed to using profits to invest in training of local businesses and people and move businesses elsewhere.

Communties may be apethetic to making changes to their local communties and being more involved.

Large companies moving into locales and forcing out local business and residents.

Crop yield for biofuel transport may not be sufficient for long-term use.

Switching from diesel to biofuel removes dependancy on as much fossil fuel consumption and the emissions they release.

Repairs and maintenence of existing housing stock is optimal when space is limited.

Utilsation of vacant land increases efficiency and thus productivity.

Increase of participation within local communities through training provides skills, employment and thus boosts economy.

Larger businessess providing work and training to smaller local businesses boosts employment, the economy and good business relations.

Trainig in e-commerce affords smaller businesses to keep up to date with technological advances.

Focus on smaller local businesses prevents gentrifiction displacement.

* The New Homes Bonus Scheme will generate additional revenue to be added to the 50M expenditure budget. Given that the council can receive payments of approximately 11,000 per affordable home (GOV.UK, 2011), this would generate approximately 11M.

GREEN PHILADELPHIAGIS | Fall 2015 | PHILADELPHIA

According to Philadelphias current comprehensive plan, Philadelphia 2035, the city aims to achieve several goals to improve its environment and quality of life, two of which are:

Ensure that all Philadelphians live within a 10-minute walk of a neighborhood park or a recreational center;

Increase the overall tree canopy across the city to 30 percent (PHL 2035).

The objective of this project is to identify under served areas in the city in terms of park and recreation access and tree canopy coverage.
