URBAN VILLAGE

location: chinatown, london
year: year 6 winter 2016
duration: 14 weeks
This project I have been looking into spaces for live and work and explored public spaces within a deep city block in Central London. The proposal puts forward a mixed-use typology which provides 200+ homes, varies types of workspaces and community facilities which can be used and enjoy by local residents, city workers and general public.
By rethinking and redefining the current financial model, types of ownership and way of living could potentially allow us to live and work more densely in the urban environment in an affordable way.
The social agenda is put at the heart of the project. The aspiration is to create a
neighbourhood with a strong sense of community, yet engage with the public and reflect city’s cultural diversity. The landscape becomes a woven piece which ties the different groups of community together.
