港大建筑学院上海学习中心本学期的建筑设计课程的主要在探讨城市与建筑之间的关系。这个Studio的名字叫做Residue，三处基地位均于虹口区1933老场坊附近，学生需要在理解城市肌理的基础上设计一个图书馆，以回应不规则基地带来的限制，以及城市“残余”空间中建筑与城市的关系的话题。
本次展览将于5月8日正式对公众开放。活动免费，无需提前报名或预约，欢迎建筑学学生、学者、建筑师和对建筑城市问题感兴趣的朋友们前来观展和批评。我们需要您的声音!
RESIDUE
YEAR 3 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO / BAAS ARCH 3055
JANUARY- APRIL 2014
TEACHERS: Anderson Lee (Director SSC), Kenan Liu, Steven Chen
All cities that have evolved over time exhibit residual urban spaces. These spaces are left-overs, cracks, fissures, or interruptions in urban fabric. They are caused by different factors and forces acting on the city. For example: the implementation of infrastructure on city fabric; the clash between construction and landscape; the collision between different building typologies; or between historical remnants and new structures. Both Hong Kong and Shanghai have different scales and types of urban residue. In Semester 1 we will investigate urban residue within dense fabric containing a variation of building typologies and programmes - industrial, residential towers, slab blocks and commercial spaces. Semester 2 will focus on residue produced through the interface of landscape and the city – between water bodies, topography or natural habitats. We intend to define and characterize this landscape residue, understand the reason for its formation and test how it can be inhabited through architecture.
Year 3 will focus on investigating architecture from the perspective of the city: to understand architecture in relation to urban dynamics. The programme will continue its research into the contemporary Asian city using Hong Kong and Shanghai as laboratories for urban research and design. This year, the focus will be on Residue.
The overall year program will be split into two semesters each addressing different aspects of urbanism: one at a larger strategic scale - architectural urbanism - the other at a more localized spatial scale - urban architecture.
Semester 1 focused on urban interventions at a strategic scale, while Semester 2 will focus on a defined architectural scale. Whereas Semester 1 investigated how contextual forces can shape programming and define a strategy, Semester 2 will focus on how context can effect spatial design responses more directly. For example: physical landscape constraints; scale; materiality; adjacencies and program. In order to focus this exploration, both the program and the site will be defined. We will select 6 sites: 3 in Hong Kong and 3 in Shanghai that each exhibit different characteristics of site context. Each will contain a transition between one type of physical condition to another and this dichotomy − a polarity that will have to be negotiated through physical tectonics and spatial organisation. These sites offer unique opportunities to develop architectural propositions that mediate between two opposing conditions as well as between architecture and urbanism. The proposed buildings will be considered as urban attractors that invigorate the local neighborhood and act as social, public spaces in the city.
