Community

Where

WITH the development of national economy,

China’s ordinary people’s living standard has a

big promotion, urban and rural residents living

environment has undergone a fundamental

change, and the housing conditions also get a

big improvement. But compared with the rich

group, the income of low-income group grows

relatively slow, and the prospects are grim. To

realize the social justice, the living conditions

and living environment are more and more

aware of low-income group. The housing

problem is the basic survival problems, which

needs to be studied first.

-FOR LOW-INCOME GROUP

01 Residential Reconstruction

We visited Dashi Village community, and took

investigation on an old building area there. The

goal of this design is aim to promote the living

environment with a minimum cost.

Goal

The community is ran through by

a main road, and the buildings are

outspread along with it. This road

connects the community and

Shuang Bei business center, also

the only bus line for residents to

go out. Near the community, the

crossroad is a small business

center serve for residents who live

around here, also a bus station

and a public square.

Scope

This investigation takes 14 old buildings as the

objects. They are mainly built in the 70s and all

have three floors. According to the location and

condition, they are divided into three groups as

is shown in the picture.

Residents of this

community are the

factory workers and

families nearby.

Now mainly the olds

and renters. There

are seven types of

residents.

How

Who

The possibility to buy a commodity house is small for the

residents. Thus in the long life cycle, the family structure will

changes with children’s grow up, education, work, marriage and

have their children.

Situation of the community is satisfactory. It’s convenient for

residents to go to work or to school, or to buy the daily

necessities. Also the medical security is efficient enough. The

community shows a peaceful living atmosphere.

2. Then is the observation of residents’ life

style: long time of outdoor activities.

1. First is the analysis of the building: shabby, lack of spaces for

clothes to hang out, and the leak problem.

C group is constituted of three

gallery-buildings which built in

the 70s, and each construction

area is 40 ㎡. Most residents

lived here for years, and their

relationship is harmonious. C

group is of satisfactory

environment and convenient life,

but the building is old and

shabby.

The survey shows that 60% of residents

agreed to reconstruct this community,

but 72% are willing to move back after

reconstruction. 1/3 of them are because

of the neighborhood relationship, 2/3 are

for the short distant to go to work.

Survey

Take the way of on-the-spot and

questionnaire investigation, to

summarizes the existing problems and

residential needs and to get the strategy.

Reconstruction of C Group

Why

01

The existing plan divides into

inerratic squares. By the

different partition ways, it can

turn to different types, in order to

adapt the change of family

structure.

Lack of spaces for clothes to hang out and for

storage are the main problems of living. To

tackle these problems, more than one

balcony are designed in every household.

They can be closed as a room for the change

of family structure .

Perspective View:

A better living environment in the community for residents living there.

CHONGQING Ironwork is a large factory of a long

history of hundreds years. In 2009 it moved to other

place. Thus the original factory is abandoned, and a

large number of workshops and equipment are left

unused. A gasholder is chosen to retrofit to a youth

community.

Target place

The skin of the gasholder can be lift up and down, and this feature can be

used to realize the transformation between the exhibition space and view

space.

Gasholder

The diameter of this gasholder is 38m, its height is 55m,

capacity is 50000m³. Its structure is truss and pillar, with a

double shell and the shell can be lift up and down.

When the skin

gets down, the two

upper layers can

be a view space.

When the skin lifts

up, the two upper

layers can be a

exhibition gallery.

With the past success, this

factory has deep cultural

atmosphere and strong

identification. The retrofit

concept is based on the

analysis of the target

population. According to the

four types of potential

residents, in the community

there are single apartments,

soho living units, artist loft

and exhibition gallery, and

the internal business street.

-MIX: take functional division

on the large internal space,

combines the four functions of

work, residence, entertainment,

exhibition together.

-ATRIUM: the round plan

forms an atrium, can undertake

04 Police Bureau Design

This project is in a small city in china’s eastern

part, it is required to be designed in the traditional

Chinese architectural style. The police bureau

building, together with the government house,

forms the administrative center of the city. The

building area is 5000㎡.

The traditional Chinese architecture often use a

“close” layout to embody the “harmony”. Thus this

building use a C-glyph plan, to form a central

square with government house.

Layout Concept

Traditional architectural symbols can be extracted

from the Hui-style architecture. Such as: closed

layout, white wall and dark tiles, horsehead walls,

slope roof, lunar gate, carved wooden doors and

windows, etc.

The Bishan county is zonal distribution along

with the Binan river. The county has obvious

city axis from north to south. The Binan river is

the city’s central axis. So this campus planning

is based on the urban pattern, and complies

with the city axis.

The site shape is irregular, according to the

city axis, two vertical principle axis are laid out

in site. Along with them spreads the buildings

and circulations of streamline.

Axis

Limited by the property line, the basic layout of

the building is an L-shape plan. Thus the

scheme adopts a centralized layout, and

combines all functions together. Two

courtyards in teaching building and library

create inner spaces for children. An outdoor

patio connects the teaching building and the

administrative building.

-The Humanistic Comfortableness Creation in External Space of the Public Rental Housing Community

This paper takes the exterior spaces

of the PRH* community as the

research object, and based on the

humanistic comfortableness of the

living-environmental

comfortableness evaluation, by the

analysis on the regional

characteristics of the sandwich-layer

crowd’s activities, and proposes the

construction strategy to the exterior

space design of the PRH community

within the architecture design scope,

to realize the creation of vitality and

humanistic comfortableness in the

PRH community.

1 Introduction

2 The Humanistic Comfortableness

in the Exterior Space of PRH

Community

3 The Characteristics and Living

Requirements of the Sandwich-

layer Crowd

4 The humanistic comfortableness

creation of the exterior space in

the PRH community

5 Summary

Currently, as the PRH construction spreads into

cities, the PRH gets into its short-term and

huge-amount-built period and there are many

problems such as: emphasize living quality but

ignore the spirit demand , only focus on

universality but ignore the pertinence and the

limited capital distributes inappropriately.

*The PRH is the abbreviation for the Public Rental Housing; it is invested and supported by the government with the purpose of solving the sandwich-layer crowds’ housing problem.

The humanistic comfortableness in the exterior

space which is discussed in this paper includes

two meanings. One is the district’s significant

factors, which contain the regional nature,

historic culture, block images and the

relationship between human and streets. The

other is the factors about lifestyle, which refers

to the community situation.

The sandwich-layer crowd refers to these

people who can not afford a commodity house

but also can not rent a low-rent house or buy an

affordable house. For example, Chongqing’s

sandwich-layer crowd includes the low-income

local family, the university graduates who can

not buy a house temporarily, the rural migrant

workers with a stable income and special talents.

In this part of the crowd, the low-income local

families are the main residents who rent the

PRH.

Strategies:

1. Limit a small-scale accessible space by the

constructional function of plants.

2. Control the rhythm in paths and nodes to

create the attraction of walking system.

3. Continue the bottom-interface and the side-

interface.

4. Encourage the residents participate in the

maintenance and management of the PRH

community to create a sense of belonging and

identification.

A good external environment can be realized by

creating a good humanistic atmosphere. By the

pertinent analysis on the living requirement and

activity characteristics of the sandwich-layer

crowd, the exterior space of the PRH can be

constructed effectively and reasonably, to

realize the creation of the humanistic

comfortableness and to consist an

indemnificatory system which is of vigor,

sequence and harmony.
