Location: Arnhem, Netherlands

Date: 2012

Genre: Urban Plan, Urban Design

Planning period:2012--2050

Key words: Transportation, Sustainable development, Urban regeneration

Description:The site locates on Arnhem, east Netherlands. As Arnhem plays an important role on (inter)na-tional road transportation, the urban regenera-tion project is related to transport. By reorgan-izing the traffic flow and road hierarchy, reduce the bypass cars and create a pedestrian-friendly environment.

Aim:The main goal of this project is to reduce the transport ‘s footprint in the city region by trans-forming the existing urban environment. To ac-complish this, the project will be focus on two main aspects on regional, city and local scale: first, the project will concentrate on promoting the non-motorized transport modes and collec-tive transport. Second the private cars, the pro-ject will deal with reducing the car use and mak-ing the private cars spatially efficient.

Introduction

Arnhem-Nijmegen plays an importmant role on (inter)national road transportation.

Problem 1: New economic clusters will locate along the highway, which will lead to more private car use.

Problem 2: Arnhem south center area is distance from the nearest railway station.

Solution:Arnhem-Nijmegen City Region will devel-opment follow the S-shape. The green field of the in-between area will be preserved. At the intersection of Highway A15 and A325, this area could be the energy production area.

Arnhem South area was dominated by highway N325 and A325.

Solution:Highway A325 will be downgraded and end-ed at the intersection of Nijmegenseweg and Burgemeester Mastersingel. The split will reduce the traffic intensity in Arnhem south centre zone.

At the meantime, the public transport and bike service will hep with the traffic intensity of Arnhem.

Arnhem south center is composed by three leisure public buildings: GelreDome stadi-um, Kronenburg shopping mall and Rijnhal.

Problem 1: These three buildings have huge parking lots around them and most visitors coming here by private cars.

Problem 2: Unpleasant spatial condition for pedestrian to walk around.

Problem 3: Lack of quality urban spaces.

Solution:Reduce the parking lots areas, and increase human scale urban spaces by adding new buildings and exterior furniture. The main goal is to having more social activities and booming the local economy.

In the project, the automated parking ga-rages works as energy buffer. They will be connected to the energy producer directly. All the energy will be stored in the parking garage, and then will be distributed to each building.

The area could provide various activities for the dwellers in the neighborhoods both daytime and nighttime all week through. The mixed-use with residential, commer-cial, cultural and social activities, could make these neighborhoods the centre of Arnhem south. This area could provide much more than a weekend shopping cen-tre for the city in 2050.

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands

Date: 2011

Genre: Urban Design

Planning period:2011--2016

Key words: Urban regeneration, Waterfront

Description:Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Neth-erlands and one of the largest ports in the world. During World War II, following Hitler’s bombing Rotterdam on May 14 1940, the heart of Rotter-dam was almost completely destroyed.

Rotterdam was gradually rebuilt from the 1950s through the 1970s. Since 1980, daring and new styles of apartments, office buildings and rec-reation facilities resulted in a more ‘livable’ city centre with a new skyline.

Aim:The main aim is to regenerate the waterfront in the centre area of Rotterdan Blaak by 2016. No longer hidden behind the shops, more activities and public spaces will be added on the buildings around the canal.

The public places around the canal are ide-al for people sitting down for a café. They are divided into several areas for different types of function. The area near the Cathe-dral will hold main events. The area near the east part of the canal will be pubs and/or café square, and the area on the west will be cultural square, for the cinema and theater around it.

Introduction

Location: Kemerovo, Russia

Date: 2011

Genre: Urban Design, Architecture

Planning period:2011--2020

Key words: Urban regeneration, Historic building re-new

Description:Kemerovo region is on the south of Siberia, Russia, and Kemerovo city is the capital of this region. Coal and heavy industry are the essen-tial part of this area. Kransnaya Gorka became the initial place where the coal of the Kuznetsk Basin was discovered. A significant moment in the development of the coal mining industry was the founding of the Au-tonomous Industrial Colony (AIK) in 1922 by the Dutch communist Sebald Rutgers. Today the re-mains of the 1920’s are still there but declined or unrecognizably transformed. Their context in urban or landscape setting is no longer there.

Aim:This project entails research by design and analysis of both history and development poten-tials of a specific area. In this case, it regards the change of the public realm, the work of a well-known Dutch architect abroad and value assessment of ‘Mutual Dutch-Russian heritage’ in Kemerovo.

J.B.van Loghem designed several dwell-ings for the specialists of AIK, in an en-semble with Rutger’s house on the em-bankment. He introduced innovative ideas of functionalist architecture characteristic for 1920’s Netherlands.

Today the remains of the 1920’s are still there but declined or unrecognizably transformed. Their context in urban or landscape setting is no longer there.

Museum Route is the crucial line that con-nects all the cultural buildings in Krasnaya Gorka.

Since Rutger’s house is one of the most importmant historic building on the north bank, and the museum route goes through it. The renewal design takes it into ac-count, the joint between the historic part and the extension part serves the whole building and also the route.

Ancient theatre

Concept

The ancient Greek theater used the height difference as the auditorium; the campus theater does the same, for its location is on a hill.

The stage volume is not parallel to the audi-torium, this creates three different audience areas for different purpose, the main audi-torium, the cinema and the outdoor audi-ence area, they all share the same stage/ office building.
