NAMAK-RI – JEONNAM SQUARE

Open design competition
Program: landscape and urban design for the Jeonnam Citizen’s square
Total site area: 51.000 mq of public space and 5.000 mq of service
Location: Jeonnam, South Korea
Year: 2022

The project offers the flexibility to use the citizens’ square as a unique, extraordinarily big public space, suitable for public gatherings, concerts, exhibitions, or
fragmenting it into a necklace of smaller pocket squares around the central one. Each mini square can react to the adjacent program and context, offering the
possibility to host more or less private activities that might need protection from traffic and noise, as well as safety and protection for children and youngsters.
The linear pedestrian and bicycle bridge that crosses Hugwang-daero, allows the continuity of the south and north squares even at pick hours of traffic.
In the middle of the central square, right at the merging of the two levels (urban level and -5m), at the crossing between the central park and the east-west sunken
square, we introduce a sculptural panoramic tower. The tower, misaligned from the south visual line to the Jeollanamdo regional office building, preserves its visibility from the park, offering the perfect position to dominate the panorama in every direction. The tower becomes the landmark of the new Citizen’s square, while offering a complete perception of the surroundings: the hills to north, the central park and the sea towards south, the new square and the Jeollanamdo regional office and the Namak-ri at east.

SHENZHEN – LUOHU CULTURAL PALACE

地面及地下室的交通动线概念，充分考虑到机动车及慢行需求。这种”城市基础设施”在地面层形成了低密度的建筑基底，但整个文化宫建筑群依然具备了现代都市地标形态。

概念:垂直景观

主要的设计理念在于通过分层露台的堆叠形成垂直公共空间，从而形成一个垂直景观系统。露台系统和其体量的变化，有助于建筑遮阳和景观空间的形成，提高建筑群的整体环境性能。
建筑、水元素和景观在场地中形成没有室内和室外空间界限的全新统一空间。

在场地中心—文化、数字化和运动之间的连接处，我们将部分体量进行悬挑。这种“数字云”可以通过各个建筑单体（东部的展览和表演艺术、南部的电影院和剧院、北部的体育和东部的培训中心）或从广场通过专用的自动扶梯和电梯直接到达。这个“数字广场”代表着建筑群的中心，是数字世界的缩影，是深圳新形象的符号。它也成为中央公共空间，将首层和开放屋顶上的广场和花园串联，清晰地表达了整个建筑群。较高的建筑密度通过最大化建筑和景观融为一体的屋顶景观的来进行平衡。

在温度合适的季节，它可以成为当地日常生活和文化活动的理想承载场所。通过对建筑内功能分布的关注，项目场地利用公共空间以及内在关联的广场与花园的系统营造，形成对建筑体量和阴影适当反馈的表达。内湖通过如同项链般环绕水边的广场及各个建筑大堂，形成城市单元的中心元素。数字广场是建筑群的核心，对南侧的湖畔绿洲和北侧线性运动花园开放。运动花园恰好处于大体量室内运动场馆和数字云的遮挡下，形成了一个高效的线性户外运动场集合，即使在炎热的夏季，也有助于露天空间的体育活动开展。

SHENZHEN QIANHAI ISLAND

Invited competition

Program: landscape and urban design for the artificial island above the underwater connection between highway S3 and Hubin W Rd

Total site area: 13.5 ha

Client: The People’s Government of Bao’an District in Shenzhen & Urban Planning, Land & Resources Commission of Shenzhen Municipality

How to mitigate the negative effects of an infrastructure based on car traffic and design it to rather adapt nature to the transformations that climate change will bring?

The Shenzhen government is planning to rethink a relatively new portion of the Highway along the Pearl river delta. This infrastructure will soon intersect another highway, which entering the bay, will turn into the Shenzhen-Zhuhai bridge.

In order to minimize the environmental impact of this structure, the government is planning to move the highways’ intersection underwater.
Feasibility studies have been carried out in order to evaluate the impact of such structure, as well as the costs and benefits of different structural typologies.

We have been invited to envisage the potential for transforming this artificial island from a mere technical ventilation shaft into a landscape landmark.
We entered this challenge trying minimizing the impact of the infrastructure and design it as a self-sustainable cluster; An island capable of producing its own energy, collect and discharge rain water, use it for its natural cycles, reuse and compost its waste, react to water rise by defending the interior landscape, while leaving its outer boundary to flood when necessary, produce algae for water phytodepuration and as natural fertilizer; An enclosed natural circle, as much as possible not depending on the depletion of external energy sources.

Our project creates a thematic island that includes leisure, nature and sustainable energies production. An underground parking makes the upper landscape accessible only by boat, feet, bike or small electric vehicles.

The Max Transformer

Cities are becoming very big. Thy are so enormous that living in a metropolis means today living in a constellation of cities, where we might live in one and work in another, basing our lifestyle on traditional commuting patterns.

Cities are a good invention, many say. They bring together smart minds, they boost the economic power of a region, they generate opportunities. Cities cluster immense numbers of people in one single spot, emptying the countryside from its human power and micro economy. Nevertheless, everybody is attracted to the city and all trends predict massive growth in urban population, with an exponent need for sustainable housing, for new complex and extended family patterns.

Nowadays spend the biggest chuck of our existence in between production and consumption activities. We wake up in the morning and move to our office where we spend almost the whole day, till the time we grab some grocery and go back home to spend the few  left hours of the day with our beloved ones. This lifestyle has generated a vast opinion on the need to reduce our housing to minimum space, where we can satisfy the essential needs of privacy and rest, while externalizing all social activities outside, in a square, a bar, a restaurant, a club. Cities like Tokyo or Hong Kong are the perfect example of this lifestyle. Because of the insane costs for housing, here people can live into units as small as 15sqm, spending most of their time outside and reducing their belongings to the very essential.

These housing models offer very little space to kitchen and living, making sure that the inhabitants have the truly essential base for living: a shelter to rest and sleep. When looking at the latest trends though, we discover a multitude of lifestyles blossoming in our society. The evolution of the employment market, the switch from traditional long term employment to a more dynamic work environment, according to which youngsters are very encouraged to embrace entrepreneurial activities or multiple employment, consultancy and freelancing, are all factors that will deeply transform how we live.

It is not new the possibility to combine living and working in the same place, extending the brief of the architect when designing a house. Remote working and easy web communication make even more sustainable working at home, since people can drastically cut commuting time and maximize their time working and living in one place. This model brings as well the benefit of reinforcing so far threatened familiar relationships; it improves the quality of life of people otherwise forced to spend hours in public transport every day, while cutting the number of cars moving in our cities, thus reducing pollution.

So what will the future of urban dwelling look like? Will it shrink to minimum size living, or will it host all necessary spaces that a human being needs during the day? Will it externalize social activities or embed work and entertainment in one single place? Perhaps the answer to this doubt will translate in a system capable to absorb different wishes and therefore the housing market will gradually offer the flexibility to customize every dwelling according to the specific needs of its inhabitants.

From hyper fragmented dwellings we move to loft models, where the wishes of the buyer can potentially customize the same units into very different solutions. How to accommodate this flexibility, how to make it technologically smart, economically sustainable, are design tasks for the coming future. One more issue to consider is the multi-functionality of the residential clusters, in order to offer all necessary amenities to the local inhabitants. These functions space from office spaces to retail and entertainment facilities, such as shops, restaurants, gym, spa, as well as cultural venues, transforming the new real estate developments into complex leasable machines. The multi-functional developments can benefit from the flexible program, in order to absorb possible shifts of market and therefore become buffers for the developers’ investments. The mix of functions cuts as well on distances, favouring the sustainable mobility in the city. In this perspective, mixed use developments, combined with housing, are to be incentivized.

We could summarize the key arguments driving the future urban dwelling as being:

– exponential growth of urban population, which will increase the need of housing stock

– the transformation of familiar patterns, with a growing number of families composed by one or two persons.

– Climate change and the impact of fossil fuel will affect tremendously new lifestyles, drove by the urgency for new sustainable forms of transportation and mobility.

– The virtual world will blur the strict separation between working and living spaces, improving remote working.

– Dynamic lifestyles will transform the concept of property, favouring the concepts of ‘sharing’ and ‘temporary’. Emblematic is the case of Airbnb, Uber, Couch Surfing, apps that support the modern nomadic lifestyle.

– Housing prices in the city centres are growing exponentially worldwide. This will either bring to the exclusivity of city centres, accessible only to high social classes, or to the shrink of housing size.

In light of this, the new housing will bring to compact developments of micro apartments, developed within multifunctional clusters, micro cities within the metropolitan magma.

Suspended floor

This project is an exploration on flexibility, based of the internal height of the apartment. The requested prototype should have an internal height of  3.0 m. This makes us think that, beside working on traditional sliding walls, we could take advantage of extra space located under an added floating floor.

We provide the dwelling with a suspended, partially movable floor, that in its normal position is lifted 60 cm from the actual structural floor, reducing the standard internal height to 2.40m . When the portions of movable floor are lowered, the dwelling presents internal pits, reaching 3.0 m height. The hollow space below the suspended floor accommodates beds, couches, chairs, provided with wheels for their easy manual sliding.

This system offers the the maximal flexibility when the floor is lifted and all furniture are stored underground. We propose three pits that can be used as 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and one living room. In order to divide the spaces into private rooms, we engineered a system of sliding/rotating closets that can parcel the spaces, while lodging closets, TV, as well as the necessary sound proof partitions between rooms.

To materialize the prototype the market offers sophisticated hydraulic movable systems, as well as simple pulling-ropes systems, adapting to the different budgets from the investors purchasing the patent. Combined with a completely foldable glass façade, the plan allows the maximal flexibility of the apartment, offering an internal open space of approximately 80 sqm. This can additionally be summed to the terrace, reaching a total open space of approximately 130 sqm. Our goal is to offer the possibility to have simultaneously the maximal open space, as well as a normal 3 rooms apartment with kitchen and two bathrooms. Kitchen and bathrooms are packed on one side of the apartment, providing space for all movable furniture in a unique efficient block. The open corner of the flat offers a perfect location for a panoramic Jacuzzi bathtub that in the summer can offer an open air spa experience.

居住在大城市

由于当今城市变得越来越大，人们居住在建筑群组中，但工作却在不同的区域中，因此我们的生活方式基于传统的出行模式。

有些人认为城市是一个好的发明。它是可以集合不同的思想，增长当地区域的经济力量和创造多种多样的机会

大量的人口聚集在城市一个建筑群组中生活工作发展经济，使农村变得更空旷。

然而，大部分人还是被大城市所吸引，导致城市大量人口的增加也对新型住在，综合体还有家庭结构的增长有不同的需要。

如果我们去观察在大城市中人们的生活方式，当今我们在生产和消费中所花费的是最多的。每天早晨去公司上班，花几乎整天的时间在办公室，下班后去超市买点市场所需，花费很少的时间与我们的家人在一起。这样的生活方式产生了一个广泛的选择是在满足基本室内空间需求和休息隐秘的情况下，将我们的居住面积竟可能的减小。提高室外的社交活动如：广场 酒吧 餐厅，夜店等

这种室外社交导致了我们居住的空间变得小而优，提供小的厨房空间和生活空间确保住户拥有基本的住宅空间所需：睡眠与休息。

当查看最新的住宅趋势，我们发现多重的生活方式在我们社会中展开。就业市场的发展,从传统的长期就业的工作环境,变为非常鼓励拥有或多个就业创业机会,咨询公司和自由职业者,所有的这些因素都在潜移默化的改变着我们的生活方式。

将工作与居住在同一个空间已经不是一个不可能的现象。远程遥控工作和简单的远程信息处理沟通使在家工作更具有可持续性,因为人们可以大大降低在大城市中上下班交通时间，居住和工作在一个空间还可以最大化地提高工作时间。

我们未来居住会是什么样的呢？它会变成最小化的居住空间,或将人们日常所有必要的空间结合在一起？会是将工作与娱乐结合在一个空间吗？

也许这个疑问的答案是将会转化为一个系统能实现不同的愿望,因此房地产市场将逐步提供必要的灵活性,根据不同居民的具体需求定制每一个住宅单元。

从高层传统居住模式变为loft居住模式,购买者可以在同样的空间来自己制定截然不同的需求方案。如何迎合这种灵活性,使它在技术上智能,经济可持续发展,是未来设计任务的未来

对于未来住宅发展方向的要点：

• 城市人口的增长将增加住房所需
• 家庭模式的变化，一人或丁克的家庭数量增长
• 气候变化和燃料大量使用影响新生活方式,需要走向新的可持续发展的交通方式和流动性。
• 网络 世界也会影响生活方式,工作和生活空间没有明显界限和提高了家中工作方式

• 城市中心的房价的增长使城市中心具有排他性,非常高的社会阶层的人,或选择住房小尺寸来满足城市中心居住的可能。

在这些方面的影响下，新住房趋势会是发展的微型公寓,在复杂的多功能建筑集群中开发,能够满足日益增长的服务,体育和文化设施。

SHENZHEN – PINGSHAN ROAD

Program: Urban plan for the Shenzhen Pingshan district

Axis length: 20 km

Budget: NA

Client: The People’s Government of Pingshan district, Shenzhen municipality.

Location: Shenzhen, China

Design: 2017

Local associate office: SADI – Shenzhen Architecture Design Institute

The line stretching from the Longgang district towards east, following the line of Pingshan road, crosses very different districts and natural areas. This line represents a huge opportunity for Shenzhen to structure an important development axis towards the east, in long connection with the cities of Huizhou and Xiamen. Pingshan Road will cross 3 main cities, signed by important natural and infrastructural bands: a culture/health oriented city, a new CBD business and multifunctional district and a research and technology city to the north. Simultaneously, these districts will be crossed by the high speed train to Huizhou-Xiamen, served by the new Pingshan station, as well as the subway system and several important ecological corridors.

The different conditions that Pingshan Road will have to relate with, as well as the current infrastructure model of main express roads crossing Shenzhen, make us reflect on how to update the infrastructure model into a sustainable new direction. Starting from the analysis of the current infrastructure model of the city, as well as the last decades developments in China, we notice that the traditional motorway model is mostly car based. The need to connect districts very far from each other, as well as the growing use of the car as main mobility tool, has favored a fast development, too much car focused, ignorant of the role of the pedestrians.

This model needs to change and, even though cars will stay by now largely used by our society, we need to think of new resilient models that will, on the long run, replace the car with modern low carbon mobility modes. For this reason, the design of a new axis as Pingshan Road, needs to start from renovated premises and a flexible design that will allow a switch in time from fuel based mobility to new natural energy mobility systems. The design concept is based on the different adaptation to the three different contexts of Pingshan Road, reinterpreting the relationship between man and infrastructure, always based on people and nature, never on the car.

THE VALLEY

The first typology of intervention will repeat equally in the two gates south and north to the area. Approaching from Shenzhen or from east Huizhou, Pingshan will welcome visitors through a landscaped valley. The traditional model of Shennan road, with high-rise concentrated on the street and low rise internal communities, has always compressed the space on the motorway. Instead this model concentrates the commercial activities on the road but it reduces as well its landscape perception and the possibility to dissipate car pollution. The result generates every time into wide road sections, where just a limited space is left on the sides for the pedestrians, forced to cross through underway passages or very long flyovers. This model is outdated. Roads need to be based first on the human scale of pedestrians and bikes, while reserving to cars and vehicles a temporary space, which will gradually be absorbed by new low carbon modes of transport. We introduce a new terraced scheme where the gradual growth of building height from the street towards the outside will increase the landscape and sky perception from the street, will improve the air quality, as well as improving the general landscape perception of the urban space. This model wills to transform a traditional motorway into a more extended section that hosts a real park; a green boulevard within which the car traffic occupies a limited side role when compared to the section.

THE ELEVATED PARK

When crossing the new central business district, commercial values, as well as denser percentage of daily visitors and a congestion of mobility modes within a hub will need to face a necessary density, more typical of the CBD metropolitan context. This implies taller buildings and denser development. In order to face and blend this reality, we propose to cover the car section of the road with an elevated park that will clearly separate the fast and efficient car based environment from the upper development. Sky gardens, bike and pedestrian roads and squares will articulate a vertical system where the impact of the car will be inexistent. The lower levels will host a multimodal hub, exchange between car, subway, bike parking, collective shared car parks, as well as commercial areas.

THE ARTIFICIAL HILL

Towards north, when coming out of the business city, Pingshan road will cross a new research and technology city, where an important agriculture corridor will filter this new district from the CBD. Our strategy proposes to develop a campus based system for the new research center, where the road section devoted to cars will be covered by an artificial hill. The hill will only resemble a natural element, while lodging underground the shared parking spaces; a renovated direct relationship with nature will favor a new healthy lifestyle for the inhabitants of the district, who will not experience the car, while living in a completely natural context, facing the agriculture corridor from north to south.

THE AGRICULTURE PARK

The Road, after crossing the artificial hill, will we sunken underground for a short trunk, less than one km long, passing under the agricultural park. In order to avoid a double obstacle in the natural development of this ecological corridor, we try to preserve the circulation from north to south without blocking it with infrastructural boundaries. For this reason we propose to bury the Pingshan Road, which will re-emerge to the urban level right after crossing the agriculture park. This park constitutes a highly important corridor to preserve the natural network of nature and water elements crossing the east metropolitan area of the city.

项目名称：深圳市平山区的城市规划

深圳平山路

顺着龙岗区向东延伸，平山路横跨了不同的地区和自然地貌。 平山路代表了深圳建设东部重要发展轴的巨大契机，与惠州，厦门等城市长期相连。 平山路将跨越3个主要城市，致力于建设以文化和健康为导向的城市，新建商业和多功能区以及北部科技城。 同时，这些地区将会与从惠州至厦门的高铁交汇产生新的平山站。铁路系统和几个重要的生态走廊也将如此。

这项工程所涉及的不同情况, 以及现时横跨深圳的主要特快道路的基建模式, 使我们反思如何将基建模式更新为可持续的新路向。从对当前城市基础设施模型的分析, 以及中国近几十年的发展情况出发, 我们注意到传统的机动车路模型大多是基于汽车的。各区之间的连接很远, 越来越多使用汽车作为主要的移动工具,无视了行人的角色。

这种模式需要改变，即使现在汽车在现在很大程度上被我们社会所使用，我们也需要考虑一下新的弹性模型，从长远来看，将以现代的低碳流动模式取代汽车。 因此，以平山路为轴线的设计需要从房屋开始，灵活的设计将能够及时将燃料转移到新的自然能源系统。 设计理念基于对平山路三种不同环境的不同适应性，重新诠释人与基础设施之间的关系，始终以人与自然为依托而不是车。

山谷部分

第一种类型的干预措施将在南部和北部两个端口进行。接近深圳或惠州东部地区，平山路将通过一个园景山谷吸引游客。如果按照深南路的传统模式，高层建筑集中在街道上，低层建筑在内部，这一直压缩着高速公路上的空间。这种模式将商业活动集中在道路上，但它减弱了景观感知，减少了消除汽车污染的可能性。结果导致每一次进入宽阔的路段，在行人只剩下有限的空间，人们被迫穿过通道或非常长的天桥。这个模式已经过时了。道路应以行人和自行车空间为基础，同时保留汽车和临时车辆的空间，而这样的空间也将逐渐被新的低碳运输方式所吸收。我们推出一个新的梯田型设计，即建筑物高度从街道向外逐渐增加，将增加街景的景观和天空感，提高空气质量，改善城市空间的景观感。这种模式将为传统的高速公路增加扩展的空间，使它能够承载一个真正的公园。与该部分相比，汽车交通仅占有这个绿色大道有限的一面。

高架公园

当跨越新的中央商务区时，商业价值观增加，使用者更加密集，中心区内的流动模式将需要面对必要的高密度，这是更为典型的CBD大都会背景。 这意味着更高的建筑物和更密集的发展。 基于这个现实，我们建议用一个抬起的公园来覆盖道路的车辆部分，这样将快速有效的使汽车行驶环境与上层发展分开。 天空花园，自行车和行人道以及广场将会形成垂直的系统，汽车的将不再产生影响。底层将为多式联运，汽车，地铁，自行车停车场，集体共用停车场以及商业区。

人造山景

向北方出发，平山路将跨越一个新的科技城市，这是一个重要的远离中心商务区的农业区。 我们建议开发一个新的系统，专门用于汽车的路段将由人造山丘覆盖。 小山只会像自然元素一样。与大自然的改造的直接关系将有利于该地区居民的新的健康生活方式，他们不会看看到车辆，而是生活在一个完全自然的环境中，面向农村南北通透。

农业园区

道路穿越人造山后，我们将在经过农业园区时在地下建设一条长短不到一公里的短的通道。 为了避免保护这个生态走廊，我们试图保持北向南的流通，不阻碍基础设施的界限。 为此，我们建议将平山路下沉，在穿过农业园区后，再次出现在市区。 这个农业园构成了一个非常重要的走廊，它保护了城市东部地区的自然和水体。

CHONGQING – RESIDENTIAL SKY FARM

Chongqing South Bank Residential Skyscraper

International Competition

FINALIST (one out of eight in second phase)

Program: Interior and landscape design of ground floor and three sky lobbies of Nambin I, tower B

Total floor area: 5000 mq

Budget: 10 Mil. RMB

Client: Youngsters Industry Co. Ltd

Location: Chongqing, China

Design: 2016

The project asks for the design of 4 lobbies of a residential skyscraper in Chongqing, China, integrating collective and social spaces with green and nature. Nauta approached the design by analyzing the actual needs of the average Chinese city, in terms of social use of the green, as well as the shortages of agricultural land, the increase of population and waste of resources. The result is the design of a productive model, where the lobbies host indoor farming systems and water recycling, aside ludic activities. The four floors are divided into four elements; the ground floor is the garden lobby, where the landscape intrudes the space reaching seamlessly the core of the building, creating spaces for leisure, relaxation and agriculture. The twelfth floor hosts facilities for indoor farming, with climate controlled production spaces, retail space and consumption of Km.0’s products. The third lobby is modeled using bamboo canes, creating spaces for group activities or meditation, characterized by the perception of the wind and its noise. The last lobby hosts a spa and fitness facilities. The terraces are also used to collect rainwater, recycled within the building. We wanted to offer a sustainable residential development model, innovative and reproducible, in which the concept of sustainability becomes part of everyday life.

该项目是在中国重庆设计一个住宅高层的4个大厅，将社会社交活动与绿色生态融为一体。

Nauta通过分析研究中国大部分城市的实际需求，在社会绿色的利用，以及农地短缺，人口增加和资源浪费方面进行设计。设计以4个大厅有室内栽培和水循环结合社交活动而成为具有农业生产力的高层住宅模式。

四层大厅都有不同的设计元素。一层为花园大厅，具有生产力的景观为休闲娱乐提供空间，并且引领人流进入高层一层室内中心交通核。十二层的室内种植架不但可在一年四季为住户提供绿色的蔬菜，而且围合的空间可谓住户提供娱乐空间。二十六层大厅主要利用竹元素，提供团体活动空间和冥想空间，风吹动竹林，有身临其境的感觉。四十层大厅主要功能为水疗与健身。露台可收集雨水可用于住户卫生间冲水。

我们希望提供一个创新可持续的，高层住宅模式，并将可持续性的概念成为日常生活的一部分。

SHENZHEN – XIXIANG URBAN RENEWAL

International competition

Program: Masterplan for the requalification and modernization of the Xixiang district

Total floor area: 8.4 kmq

Budget: N/A

Client: Bao’an local Government

Location: Shenzhen, Xixiang district, China

Design: 2016

The approach to the urban intervention was to bring out the specificities of the place and to design a masterplan starting from them. Especially the preservation of the meaningful historical parts and of the urban village structure doesn’t look back to the past, but try to give new lymph for the economical sustainability of these urban texture which are disappearing and seem cannot find their meaning inside the Chinese metropolis economy.

An important step is the redevelopment of the waterfront and the connection with the villages of Gushu that now is denied by the presence of the infrastructure. This link give new possibilities to the villages and, in this way, supports their urban and social requalification. Also the green network wants to accentuate the presence of the green elements that already exists, considering that they are very rare in Chinese cities.

The urban mosaic is clarified where it is possible and transformed where it isn’t. This transformation is led from the needs that in Xixiang are still missing.

The union of all this different parts and urban textures is made through the study of a network of public spaces which improve the quality of life and joins all the area in a unitary vision for Xixiang.

SHENZHEN – YANTIAN DIFFUSED HOTEL

International Competition
FIRST PRIZE
Program: Urban re-qualification of the Dameisha urban village, through the introduction of a “diffused hotel”
Total floor area: N/A
Budget: N/A
Client: Yantian local Government
Location: Shenzhen, Yantian district, China
Design: 2016, on going

Within Shenzhen, Yantian plays a specific role, due to its special natural qualities, tourism attractions and proximity to Hong Kong. By looking at the geography of Shenzhen and its landscape conformation, it is evident that Yantian plays an important role in the preservation of natural values, important for the whole metropolitan area. In fact, the presence of the highest mountain within the municipal boundary, as well as the most valuable bathing beach of the city, make this location a top destination for the tourism industry of Shenzhen.

The district hosts some of the oldest urban villages in Shenzhen, base and origin of this city, thus integral part of the cultural and historical evolution of the region. When entering the village from south, Dameisha presents a central area with low density and buildings ranging between one and two floors. The east and west areas present higher density, similar to the dysfunctional urban villages that we find in other parts of the city. The central area, besides presenting lower buildings, is characterized by an irregular pattern of public spaces, more or less defined but definitely more generous than the common narrow alleys. At the moments this sequence of spaces is very disorganized and constantly occupied by parking lots that make the whole area useless for public use. The centre is as well signed by several commercial activities, street food, convenience stores and small entertainment places.

The most interesting feature of this village though is its incredible proximity to the beach, the best bathing place in Shenzhen, as well as being surrounded by almost 200 hotels only in Daimesha district. By analyzing the local tourism offer we noticed how homogeneous it is at the moment, offering very extensive traditional hotel developments with no typology variations. The natural qualities of the area as well as the cultural attractions in the whole Yantian make possible to extend its tourism targets, including younger as well as cultural oriented groups that are interested in the authentic experiences of the place.

Backpackers, tourists well travelled and flexible to adapt to the local conditions, not interested in the global luxury experience of a chain hotel, would be perfect visitors for Dameisha. Its proximity to Hong Kong, as well as its good connection to the beach and the city centre of Shenzhen, could transform this area in the tourism heart of Shenzhen. For this reason our plan proposes to establish in this village a first example of Diffused Hotel, a prototype we believe will be easy to implement by the cooperation of different housing owners. It will be as well the spin off for several activities and cultural events that will transform the area in a new and different city centre.

In our vision Dameisha becomes the centre for many events and business activities: the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, an Art festival, a fashion event, an Urban Agriculture expo and congress, street food events and many more.

The phasing of the development starts from the free initiative of few owners who would start with a Air B&B formula, promoting via web their rooms and attracting the first tourists interested in the local experience. The second phase, upon success of the first, would include a central reception hall, an associated restaurant and bakery to offer breakfast and meals, as well as more associated rooms. Further phases would extend the rooms stock, as well as the range of services offered by the hotel, such as gym, spa, all rigorously scattered in the village. However the most important effect of the DH in the long term is the renovated sense of community and the spread of common awareness and the collective interest in preserving the décor and the hygiene of the public space, condition for the stable operation of the hotel.

The DH proved as well to become such an important instrument for a positive gentrification, generating as well private housing re-qualification, improving the general performance and look of the villages involved. This could enhance a systemic improvement of the village and its easier integration in the city fabric. This model might help to free the urban villages of Shenzhen from a sad chronic thread of demolition and finally unveil economic opportunities that could save the historical and social heritage of the villages, real soul of Shenzhen city.

URBAN AGRICULTURE PROJECTS IN CHINA

Commissioned project.
REALISED
Program: Exhibition
Total site area: NA
Location: Shenzhen, China
Year: 2015

One of the main worries of the Chinese megacities is the insufficient resources to feed the growing migrants’ population. Local measurements range from protecting basic cultivated land to encouraging higher productive local agriculture projects, not only to ensure enough local produce but also to simplify the circulation process and shorten the transportation and supply distance, thus reducing pollution.
As opposite to the big cities’ problems of shortage of resources for the growing population, the rural areas, where the migrants come from, encounter the opposite problems of shortage of work power for farming works. This generates abandoned farmlands and a series of connected social issues, such as unhealthy mental condition of left-behind children. On the other hand, their parents, facing soaring house price and high-level education required in the city, suffer as well the risk of unemployment in their new life. In some cases they become so-called “instability factors” in urban society.

NAUTA is investigating the potential of Chinese cities to base the design of the urban landscape on agriculture intensification. We believe that, either by completing urban voids or planning new extensive areas, urban design can offer both, beautiful social areas as well as an additional food bank for the growing Chinese population.
By doing so, NAUTA started to test these principles with a rich group of consultants, in order to test the possibility to reuse lost areas within Beijing, introducing new forms of management, such as land leasing, as well as shortening the food distribution chain and reduce pollution from transportation.

Parallel to this, NAUTA’s Bao’an project in Shenzhen investigates the possibility of using agriculture as a tool for the holistic design of the coast facing the Pearl River delta, capable to combine simultaneously social uses and productive landscape.
From local urban gardens to innovative vertical farming, hydroponic, aquaponic technologies, our studies investigate the potential of transforming the metropolitan landscape into a social productive reserve.

城市农业银行

委托项目
项目进度: 研究完结
节目：展览
地点: 中国深圳
设计时间: 2015

粮食不足应对持续成长的大量外来人口已成为中国大城市的隐忧之一.当地的方法从保护最基本的耕地到鼓励大量的高产出的当地农业,不仅是为了确保产地的产量同时也能简化物流的程序和运输的距离进而达到降低污染.
相较于因为人口增加而导致资源短缺的大城市,相反地郊区正面临著农业上人力缺失的问题. 这会产生废弃的农田和一系列连接的社会问题，如留守儿童的不健康的心理状态.另一方面,他们的父母,不仅面临著飞涨的房价和高等教育的需求同时还有失业危机. 在一些情况下,它们成为在城市社会所谓的“不稳定性的因素”.

NAUTA致力于发现中国的城市在城市景观上和集约农业的潜力. 我们相信不论是通过完善在城市中的空隙或者计画新的扩张区域,城市设计能同时提供既美观又符合中国城市人口成长的的食物银行.
通过这样做，NAUTA和其他顾问团队开始测试这一系列的原则去探索如通故过引入新的管理方式去减少在北京市失去可用地的可能性.例如,土地出租，以及缩短食品配送链从运输减少污染。

与此相对应，NAUTA在深圳宝安的项目中,调查农业在城市使用的可能星作为在珠三角完整设计工具同时结合了社会使用以及可生产景观的双重性功能.
从当地的城市花园到新创的垂直农业,水培和汔培技术以及我们的研究.我们彷佛能预见大都会景的城市观转变成社会产能转变得潜力.
