This is an experimental project in the magic Chongqing that shows people how the futuristic urban space might be. Our team shape the traffic, public space and landscape systems based on Vertical, Futuristic and Public elements extracted from sections of Chongqing. We also put forward rules from five aspects to ensure the implementation.
Firstly, we analyze the spatial characteristics of Chongqing by drawing sections, extract the vertical and public elements, and add the futuristic element after referring to the concept of Utopian. Based on the vertical, futuristic and public elements, we try to re-shape the site. The vertical principle divides the site into two parts: communities with high-density and natural landscape areas. The futuristic one translates the texture from the past and shape the blocks. Finally, the publicity make the site unique by adding different links of primary and secondary parts. ??Under the guidance of the three principles, the combing of traffic, public space and landscape systems is completed and further transformed into guidelines for the implementation. As this design is completed by the cooperation of planning, landscape, and architecture students , it also includes the deepening of the design of the architecture and landscape (completed under the guidelines).We hope to show everyone a future of Chongqing at a disparate level, from which we can see three-dimensional traffic, public space and landscape systems. This all comes from the reality of Chongqing's vertical characteristics and unique public culture. It is more to pin down our vision: after 50 years of municipality, Chongqing became a high-density city in 2047. At that time, people still have natural ecological landscapes and abundant aerial landscapes. When you are busy with work, you can go to work on the vertical farm to farm and pick vegetables. In your spare time, you can visit each other and chat casually everywhere.In the urban space of the future 2047, we will see the 1997 and even more distant past. All of this comes from an urban madness of a team in 2017.
