Il progetto si trova in Beihu Street, a Wuhan, parte del “Wuhan Financial District”, che ospita numerose aziende Fortune 500 e una forza lavoro di 11.000 persone. L'area beneficia di ricche risorse culturali, educative, sanitarie e turistiche, di pittoreschi scenari naturali, di trasporti efficienti e di infrastrutture urbane ben pianificate. Negli ultimi anni, Beihu Street ha subito una trasformazione verde, migliorando la sua comunità, la vita residenziale e la vitalità commerciale. In risposta al concorso comunale per studenti incentrato su spazi verdi, adattabilità al clima, connettività e vita sostenibile, questo progetto propone una strategia di riqualificazione di Beihu Street per promuovere quartieri compatti, verdi e fiorenti. Il progetto si rivolge a un isolato obsoleto e caotico, demolendo edifici vecchi e abbandonati per destinare l'80% del sito a spazi verdi, tra cui giardini pluviali, fattorie comunitarie e ampie aree ricreative. Questi spazi verdi migliorano i servizi pubblici per i residenti e le scuole vicine. La soluzione architettonica prevede un'espansione verticale, creando un complesso multifunzionale che fonde spazi residenziali e pubblici. Una rampa continua e confortevole attraversa l'edificio, fornendo un accesso senza barriere dal piano terra al tetto. Lungo la rampa, diversi spazi di attività pubblica formano una “sky street” verticale, che integra le aree comuni con le unità residenziali mantenendo chiari i confini. Inoltre, i balconi per le piante condivise sono

Abstract
This project is located in Beihu Street, Wuhan, part of the “Wuhan Financial District,” which hosts numerous Fortune 500 companies and a workforce of 11,000. The area benefits from rich cultural, educational, healthcare, and tourism resources, picturesque natural scenery, efficient transportation, and well-planned urban infrastructure. In recent years, Beihu Street has undergone a green transformation, enhancing its community, residential life, and commercial vitality. In response to the municipal student competition focusing on green spaces, climate adaptability, connectivity, and sustainable living, this project proposes a redevelopment strategy for Beihu Street to foster compact, green, and thriving neighborhoods. The project targets an outdated and chaotic block, demolishing old and abandoned buildings to allocate 80% of the site to green spaces, including rain gardens, community farms, and extensive recreational areas. These green spaces enhance public amenities for residents and nearby schools. The architectural solution involves vertical expansion, creating a multifunctional complex that blends residential and public spaces. A continuous, comfortable ramp weaves through the building, providing seamless barrier-free access from the ground floor to the rooftop. Along the ramp, diverse public activity spaces form a vertical “sky street,” which integrates communal areas with residential units while maintaining clear boundaries. Additionally, shared planting balconies are introduced to address Wuhan’s hot summer climate, offering shade, promoting energy efficiency, and supporting a sustainable, green, and thriving urban lifestyle.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
