A NEW NODE We perceive the site as a typical line city centre.
A new node on a string of city centres of different quality. The success of
this new centre depends a great deal on its ability to become a powerful
magnet on this line. Therefore it needs to develop a personality that
generates strong possibilities for development. 新的节点 我们将这块区域理解成典型的线性城市中心。一连串不同城市中心上的一个新的节点。这个新的中心成功与否很大程度上取决于它能否成为这条线上的磁吸点。因此它需要发展出自己的个性，能为今后的发展创造出多种可能性。 |
1.
INTERWEAVE / GET OFF MY BACK!
|
On
the scale of the site the centre area needs to use the activity of the centre
in a way that does not only benefit the main road but gives chances to the
whole site, bringing urban energy to the new town. Our
first intervention is to widen the influence of this road by changing the
road system from a generic octagonal
system to a space defining hexagonal one. This way the residential hinterland
gets connected to the main road, and the centre program (commercial,
cultural, educational and recreational) gets brought deeper in the This
interweaving through street pattern gives better chances for a comfortably
layered Qingpu New Town. 交织/别烦我！ 在整个场地的尺度上，中心区域需要行使中心的职责，不仅可以让主干道受益，也可以将机遇带给整个区域，注入城市的活力。 我们第一个动作是通过将整个道路格局从一个普通的八角形系统转变为有区域划分功能的六角形网络来扩大道路的影响。由此，腹地的居住区也与主干道连接，同时，中心区功能（商业，文化，教育，娱乐）也更加深入至新城中。 这种交织的道路肌理会让整个更舒适的青浦新城倍添机遇。 |
2. THE
|
Once we
have extended the influence zone of the road we have a series of plots that stretch
over the road. These plots we perceive as a sequence of programmed urban
landscapes. Together offering a visually and programmatically intense city
centre. The plots
are developed as urban landscapes, housing different strong centre programs as
individual urban magnets on a scenic string. These magnets are a combination
of landscape and program. Trees and towers, mall and hill, an entertainment
bridge, water and culture, etc. Combined
this sequence of the landscapes is a road movie representing the image of
Qingpu New City. At the same time it is a diverse centre of bordering urban
landscapes challenging the visitor to explore. This new centre does not
embody a style, more so it is a mix if urban energies wrapped in a leisurely
landscape packaging. 景观中心 一旦我们延伸这种道路影响模式，我们就有了一系列由道路形成的地块。这些地块可以理解为有组织的城市景观，并形成了视觉化、功能化的紧凑型城市中心。 这些地块将作为城市景观来开发，作为景观链上功能各异，相互独立的磁吸点 。这些磁吸点是景观与功能的组合。譬如树木与高楼，商场与山坡，游艺大桥，水与文化，等等。 这样一系列的景观组合如一部公路电影般展现了青浦新城的新形象。同时，它是一个拥有不同城市景观的多元化中心，吸引参观者前来探索发现。这个新的中心并没有固定的格调，它更像是一个由不同城市氛围包裹着的城市景观组合。 |

WATER STRUCTURE
|
By subtracting the ‘island’ site from its generic urban grid we set
the first step in recognising the water town landscape as a historic and
cultural network worth preserving. The site now gets defined by it natural
borders. In the site itself the existing waterways are used as the attractive
borders of the centre area of the site. Where the main road inevitably serves
the centre as backbone to the car traffic, the water does so for the
pedestrian use. The cultural centre of the site is placed on the intersection of the
north and south waterways in the site. It forms a ‘water
square’ that accommodates the political and cultural buildings of the city centre.
In the less central areas of the site the existing waterways are used
as routes for pedestrians and bicycles. No need to say that the keeping the water structure can also be read
as a sustainable action. Both the water buffering capacity and the refraining
from moving the water holding bodies are important sustainable deeds. 水结构 基于对于历史文脉的继承和保护，我们用城市整体网络中 “岛屿”的理念，对水乡景观进行了第一步的组织规划。天然的河岸线使这些岛屿能够很自然地被区分出来。 这些岛本身的水路勾勒出了中心城区富有魅力的城际线。就像主干道为车辆服务一样，这些亲水道路也成为了人们（步行休闲）的好去处。 新城的文化中心被设置在南北水路的交叉点上，它构成一个“水广场”，在这里可以建造新城的中心市政文化建筑。在离开城市中心的地方，现有的水道将供行人及自行车使用。 不需要再强调保留原有河流的框架可以理解为可持续发展。河流的缓存功能与保留河岸的做法都是重要的可持续发展手段。 |
4. TRANSGRID;
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OUTDOOR QUALITY
|
The
new grid uses the very same exits from the main road as did the proposed road
system. In
contrast to the projected ortagonal street pattern,
this hexagonal street pattern keeps the views of the inside the new town,
creating a much more intimate city sphere. No longer is the street the domain
of transport only. The
space inside the grid blocks is relatively big, as to be able to fit large
programs and create leisurely / ecological green interior spaces. 交通网络：公共交通与个人交通的质量 新的交通网络延用了原来规划的交通出入口。与原先八角形的道路形成对比的是，六角形了保留新城中的视野，更加暗示了城市的形象，道路不再仅仅主导交通。 网格内部的空间相对较大，以可以容纳大型功能区并形成舒适，生态的绿色内部空间。 SLOW
NETWORK The
plots have a pre-described system of slow traffic through the plots. This
allows pedestrian traffic to form its own network throughout the site. For
this network only the entry points are given, the architect / developers can
choose the connection according to the needs of the plan. As a result a
lively, multi shaped and green network emerges that supports local scale and
provides popular alternative to car traffic. The
pedestrian network uses the centre functions to bridge between the north and
south side of the new town. 慢行网络 基地中有一套预先形成的步行系统，这使得城中的步行交通构成了一个贯穿整个基地的独立系统。由于这个步行网络只存在入口节点，建筑发展商可以根据建造计划的需要灵活选择节点之间的连接。通过这样的方式就能形成一套生动、多样和绿色的步行网络，既能顺应本地的交通尺度，又能发展出可行的机动车交通方案。 步行网络通过横跨中心南北的桥梁得以贯穿。 |
5.
ARCHITECURAL ATTITUDE.
|
It is imperative that the architectural language
supports the landscape- leisurely direction of the plan. All
the different building clusters in the center have a clear landscape connection. Some through green
facades, other through no facade. 建筑格调 建筑的设计语言烘托了景观－规划的目的即为创造悠闲舒适的环境。中心各种风格的建筑群有着明显的景观联系，部分建筑有着绿色的外立面，而部分建筑则淡化了外立面的概念。 |
