The Design

About Lixian Future Community Empreendimento de Uso Misto

A Comunidade do Futuro de Lixian é um plano de desenho urbano para um bairro de uso misto em Quzhou, província de Zhejiang, na China. O plano insere uma plataforma acima do nível de circulação tradicional, onde se organizam paisagens ajardinadas. Os conjuntos comunitários são dispostos em pequenos quarteirões de baixa densidade com vegetação abundante, criando uma escala espacial agradável. Um centro de bairro é combinado com um terminal rodoviário para formar um sistema orientado ao transporte público que conecta todos os nós. A arquitetura une elementos tradicionais e futuristas e favorece uma vida de rua ativa.

Tags: Future community, Neighborhood center, TOD Complex, Prefabricated building module, Urban design, Building lifecycle management.
Production Technology: TOD mode is one of the essential highlights in the Lixian community, the local bus network would be connected to the bus terminal intergrating the neighborhood center, which would also organize the possible nurseries, rest home, entrepreneur hub or multifunctional space with specific cautious-planned civic infrastructures. Those elements together would create a complete TOD system that connects all the nodes and they are important parts to structure a whole Lixian community.
Design Challenge: The huge mass of the residential architecture could lack spatial scales of humanity, isolating us from nature, alienating interpersonal relationship. Our exploration mainly relies in what could be the future living way suited for China?
During the design process, the key is to achieve the “three aspects” (humanization, ecologicalization, digitization) that contain “nine future scenes”: neighborhood, education, health, business, architecture, transportation, low-carbon, service and governance. Another key to the success of this project is the collaboration between the urban design team and the architecture team. Urban designers and architects work together from the initial stage of this project, to make sure the nine scenes of future community can be fully complemented throughout the process of the design activity.
Research: Quzhou is located in the southeast of the Zhejiang province where not only has abundant landscape resources but also a famous cultural city with a long history and a shrine of southern Confucianism. Lixian community is adjacent to the central old neighborhood of Quzhou, where habitat condition needs to be upgraded thus the local government as the leading force has been eager to renew or reform these areas to create a unique future community atmosphere , based on people’s love and yearning for a better life.
Inspiration: Profound and lasting Chinese culture can be traced to the same origin. Confucianism takes cosmopolitism as the ideal status of society development. In cosmopolitism society, kids or youth would be well cared and educated, adults would have corresponding labour income, patients or vulnerable group would be cured, elder could be looked after, everyone has got the right place and satisfaction. Lixian community takes cosmopolitism as the design theme to explore an ideal community.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2019. It is located in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Operation Flow: Along the river there is a talent persons’ apartment, with a neighborhood center, bus terminals, or distinctive commercial programming in the lower floor. This project aims to strengthen the pride of servers by providing superior location, best landscape resources, better employment prospects and opportunities, as reward for their better service in future scenes. The development of Lixian culture will be made possible by improving and accentuating the importance of servers.
