Projects
We engage in a variety of diverse projects allowing us to explore innovative tools at different urban scales.
01
Master plan evaluation: Site 3, Hong Kong Harbourfront
总平面评估: 香港中环滨水区
Site 3, along the Hong Kong’s iconic waterfront, is the last piece of opportunity for the city to develop something more valuable for its people. We developed a detailed 3D indoor-outdoor pedestrian network of what can be touted as one of the most complex multi-dimensional areas in the world.
02
Pedestrian Flow Simulations: Shenzhen North Station Urban Design Competition, Shenzhen
步行流线预测与优化: 深圳, 火车北站
Collaborating with MLA+ and Guanzhou Transport Planning Institute, we aimed at including evidence-based analysis within the master planning process by evaluating design options through the means of a pedestrian network. Recommendations and suggestions on people flows and catchments were made to optimise on circulation in a complex TOD neighbourhood.
03
Restructuring Metro Network: Shanghai Metro Network
重构地铁网络: 上海
Using Shanghai metro system 2017 as baseline, we consider the novel morphological alternative scenario of two overlapping ellipses and compare its relative performance to the more traditional ring metro line. The analysis is especially useful at the strategic conceptual planning phase, to test different network design scenarios alongside conventional transport planning tools.
04
Place evaluation: Pedestrian flow potential analysis of 3D environments in Wujiochang, Shanghai.
测度商业价值: 上海, 五角场
An urban environment is a ‘designed’ environment whose creation and modification should proceed by a human-centered approach. We represent urban layouts in a progressively complex way, from 2D reduced spatial model to full 3D spatial model, reflecting what happens in design process.
05
Initiating Intermodalities: A progressive switch, Mumbai, India
多模式交通联动: 印度，孟买
Based on a notion of a ‘progressive switch’, the aim of this project was to create a new customised model of intermo-dality which is able to spatially integrate multiple modes of transport and generate new interconnectivities on different scales. Spatial design network analysis for various different modes was further deployed in this project.
