Yangpu Riverfront - Scale 1
Hello allergic people,
hope you're breathing well.
Today we will be talking about the first scale in the Yangpu riverfront renovation project. In architectural practice, it's important to gain the skill of navigating between different scales. so what do we mean by scale? through the design process and in order to gain a full understanding of the site, we should be able to analyze the position this project takes and will take according to the smallest element in the site like trees, to the bigger picture like the relation to its region.
well let's get into the project
*** after writing the intro I had an allergy attack, therefore there will not be any visuals today, I will add them later, but I've already prepared the paragraphs so bring up your imagination while reading ****
After the industrial revolution in the 18th century, most of the city's river banks were occupied by factories, warehouses, and docks. therefore the access for the public to the river was interrupted, the shoreline of Shangai city was blocked by abandoned industrial artifacts.
This problem drove the government to start a 3 years program to connect the shoreline of the Huangpu river by creating continuous open space.
The main principles were :
1- create 3 strips, walking pathways, cycling lanes, and green spaces
2- all the entrances to the shoreline will have ramps
3- the pathways will be connected to bus stops, subway stations, and residential districts.
4- at breakpoints such as ferry stations, tributary rivers, and high pile wharf, pedestrian bridges and trails will be added.
