Exhibition - Intertexture urban design studio

I went to the intertexture urban design studio – Zhenjiang exhibition. It is an overseas studio with 10 UNSW architecture students, 10 landscape students and 10 architecture students from Eastsouth University, Nanjing, China. The program lasts for 3 weeks focusing on redevelop an old dockland. This place is near the river, surrounded by new modern developed commercial area on the east, old residential areas on the south. Most of the groups planed to keep the several heritage buildings in this area, reutilize the air-raid shelter in the center, and demolish all the rest areas. Rebuild the demolished areas with new residential areas, retails and green spaces. The strategy is to guide the travellers from west to the new developed area and connect the west and east areas. They also planed to convenient the residents around, providing them with more facilities, entertainments and commercials.

It is interesting to learn their development stages from observe the site, analysis the site, plan and design to the final presentation. It is amazing to see their different approaching to analysis and redevelop the area and it is quite inspired for me from their different great concepts.
