01Campus 'Greens' Coney IslandFirst Year Urban Design Core Studio(Professor Philippe Correa), GSD, Harvard UniversityCategory:Urban/Architecture DesignTheme Research: Campus as Catalyst of Deteriorating Neighborhood Renewal'Selected for PLATFORM FIVE'

We start our project by learning from Coney Island in the present day as well as historically. The first aspect would be reading into the historical development. From 1881 to 1889 the development of surrounding area started from here and two main roads began to feed into the existing wetland. From 1889 to 1908, the loss of wetland expedited and we lost a total of 63 acres of natural wetland, equaling 1.2 Prospect Parks, in a total duration of 9 years. Furthermore, a gas works station merged to the area along the waterfront, resulting in a major leakage of hazardous waste that is still present today. Presently, the site is amongst the many environmental remediation sites, as stated by the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency.

We sliced sections 70 meters apart from one another, to allow us to gain a general understanding of the existing networks present in the site. Agonisticlly, out-of-scale projects are scattered over the site without proper connections, like sports field, junk yard, huge subway stations and a environmental remediation site.

The polluted river has the potential of being the second waterfront. Also, to relieve the segregation caused by the shore parkway, we begin to imagine about the potent ia l i ty of a green promenade that may run along Stillwell Avenue, in which can relieve the tension between all the agonistic projects.

Autonomous Fragments Programmatic Fragments

"But the nature of Collage City is that the fragments are applied strategically and affably so as to allow the city to develop and nurture itself, free from prescription which may sti l l linger in cities already containing said fragments." ------Colin Rowe OLD CROSS-First Settlement in History NEW CROSS-New Potentials

First is the issue of remediation sites in the greater metropolitan area of New York. Again, if we still use Prospect Park as a comparison, all the remediation sites of the entire borough of Brooklyn equals 80.7 Prospect Parks and the cost of each superfund site exceeds the construction cost of Prospect Park, which was about 6 million.

Another problem is the overloading of multiple infrastructural elements, such as the Belt Pkway and Gowanus expressway. This results in derelict communities that have higher unemployment rates and lower rent. It is also noted that the poverty level along these areas are below the national average.

The diagram of existing situation of Program and Desity shows an uneven distribution of programs and density, also a severe segregation due to the large-scale infrastructure.

Also, there is a great difference between seasons in terms of programs and density. There is a peak of density in summer in terms of recreational programs, while the expected educational programs would achieve a more even distribution of density.

To help relieve the problem of the overloading infrastructure on one end, we ask ourselves if there may be the possibility to create another station further north to relieve the pressure on Stillwell Avenue. This can result in a diffusion of densities and allow for other areas to become developed.

We see our campus as a catalyst, which may begin to respond to the local community, manufacturing industry, and tourism. Also, in the sense that the campus can be the center hub for other environmental organizations around the world. Therefore the diversity of programs is further enriched.

Due to the nature of "landfill project", the 'Greatest Grid' did not extend all manuracturing activities. Due to the nature of "landfill project", the 'Greatest Grid' did not extend all

its way to reach the waterfront.The resulting problem inclludes:+ Large-scale Projects as Urban Autonomy

+ Lack of Public Access/Attracaction+ Segregation from "Greatest Grid" by Regional Infastructure

1811 Commissioner Plan

+ Two Slices of Urban Grid

+ Left shows the waterfront burdened with Regional Infrastructure(in red),hardly accessible and versatile for future development

+ Right shows the slice of "Greatest Grid" with great access and flexibility(in white) of future 'interpretation'

+ Right shows the waterfront above 59 St, which is currently occupied by public park but holds potential (re)development opportunity

+ Left shows the waterfront below 59 St, which is bordered with Westside Drive and little (re)develop -ment opportunity

Revitalize Local Neighborhood with Proposed CorridorsThe site possesses large scale urban fabric which is significantly under-utilized,

and thie waterfront could , again, accomodate a variety of local activities, not limited to public recreation.

+ Large-foorprint Buildings along Certain Corridors+ Public-accessible large-footprint Amenities

+ Proposed Corridors with Adjecency to Public Amenities

Enhance the Local Access to Bridge between Two Parks Situated in between waterfront and central park, two municipal assets of public space, the site has the potential of enhancing the local access to the Riverside Park, Central Park

along with many local amenities. + Local Access of Riverside Park

+ Local Access of Central Park/Amenties+ Proposed Local Access to enhance

+ Two Slices of Manhattan Waterfront Design Hypophysis

Re-programme the Waterfront with Regional/Local VisionThe site could be re-programmed when both regional/local visions are taken into consideration:

the connection between Manhattan/New Jersey by Water Transportation;the connection between the "Grid" and "Landfill" by Grid Extension

+ Regional In-flux into the site + Local Out-flux into the site

+ Proposed Corridors bridging In-flux/Out-flux

Wind in GREEN direction is from WOLONG LAKEwhich is wet and warm, beneficial to microclimateWind in DARK BLUE direction is from the DESERTthat is dry and full of sand, harmful to microclimateWind in LIGHT BLUE direction is from the CITY,full of polluted gas emitted by the factories,harmful too

RainfallThe seasonal change in rainfall is significant, the rainfall of one year is 540 mmCompared to south part of china, it is rather dry

Increasing population and the pollution and serging need of water should never be ruled out

TemperatureThe HIGHEST temperature is 36.5 degree and the LOWEST temperature is -29.9 degree, the average temperature is 6.9 degree and it is not so suitable to nursery of creatures

Greenway Proposal Extended Greenway--As Natural Purification Manmade Wetland--Collection, Purificationand Slow-down at the End of City Streets

Various Niche--Suitable to More Species Abundant Program--Experience and Activities

Ecosystem Variety is achieved by the interation between constantly changing water level and different topography.

For one thing, different species all find inhabitats, plankton grow, fishes swim,birds perch,mammels prey and give birth to next generation. There are several integrated communities of trees,shrub, groundcover, emergent plants and aquatic plants;

Secondly, different program and human activities can be evoked by different topography,such as fishing, skiing, skating, cycling, kite flying and so on. Most importantly, there couldbe much interaction between human beings, creatures and the environment.

Shengzhou, as a small city in Jiangnan(south of Yangtze River), is located in moutains weaving with waters. It has unique landscape features such as tea terrace and primary forest.

It also has rich cultural implication of Xiang Tu, including Poerty history and Yue Opera history, as well as vernacular lifestyle such as local settlement pattern.

We should take all the elements into consideration. Additionally, OLD wisdoms are of importance in our Scheme.
