小组
The team consists of five Chinese students; Kang Yan, Zhan Yuan, Long
Wenhao, Zhang Xie and Cao Yinglin. Together they generated their vision
of the future and translated this into one model, covering three slots
on the Cybercity floor.

愿景
未来生态维护旨在延长现在及明天的状态的保存期限。它把城市的片面和不同年龄的人叠加起来：现代和未来的高层建筑是结构，过去和现有的建筑是面，各个年龄层的城市人是程序。未来生态维护是一个超级的时空交错博物馆。

Based on the concept, our solution
of the urban problem is to locate several huge interconnected frameworks
in the urban area that are composed of the inorganic collages of
futuristic architecture and traditional old buildings. The little cubes
together with the frameworks as a whole will brake the situation of
inorganic collage. And under the discipline of “large up, small down”,
the small living spaces as well as the huge public spaces will be
accumulated onto the frameworks due to the different demand in different
periods. So, in time, such kind of urban arrangement will be used more
and more gradually, which best embodies the urban attitude of
self-organization. And, obviously, although the little cubes were added
randomly onto the frameworks, they are exactly in an invisible order.
In
the future, maybe 50 years later from now, the people in the urban
especially in Shanghai may be tired of living in the high rise
residential area which is composed with “cool” spaces made up from steel
and concrete. They return to the brick-composed close-to-the-ground
living spaces that their elder generations used to live in, with both
the pleasure and painful memory. At that time the city will be arranged
with large spaces (public spaces) up and small spaces (living spaces)
down. Also, with the developing trend of aging population in Shanghai it
is entirely possible for the city to provide almost all the citizens
with the “low altitude” living spaces. So, most possibly, the project
will come true in, maybe, 2060.
According to my threshold
research, Shanghai currently is a city lack the integral urban plan due
to the accelerated urbanization, that is to say the manner stipulation
has been involved in the urban plan so much, so, as it is my turn to
plan the future city, I will allow it to be more self-organized under a
soft guidance, so that the city will be a more harmonious one.

Through
the almost 3-year systematic design education, Peter has got accustomed
to "pencil do the thinking" as well as "model do the thinking", which
as he believes is the rudimentary quality of an undergraduate student.
Peter is also interested in dealing with spaces to make them more art
based and comfortable, based on rational analytical works.

Zhang Xie
ZhangXie is an undergraduate student from Tianjin University, China.
He is interested in crossing-boundaries, thinking about our urban
conditions as well as social phenomena. Since his major in architecture,
he does well in physical-model-based works and diagram analysis.
Research
Cao Yinglin
Cao Yinglin is a 4th year architecture student at Tongji University.
Cao was born in Shanghai and she plans to go to the Netherlands for
further study after graduation. She loves design and she will
participate in this workshop as an academic student with the research
and modeling work.
Research
Kang Yan
Kang Yan is studying in the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts at
Fudan University. She is a sophomore of art design in digital media. Her
major courses are based on the contemporary art, together with the
techniques of computer software, hardware, machinery installations and
videos. Kang is good at communication and she enjoys participating in
various exhibitions and activities. Kang Yan also has great interest in
planning and managing art projects.
Research
Zhan Yuan
Zhan Yuan is currently a candidate for March II program at Harvard
GSD. He has studied at UCLA and he is expected to receive a Bachelors
degree in Architecture at Tianjin University. Zhan is interested in
geometry in architecture as well as in synergism of urbanism. His recent
essays can be found in the Sixteenth International Seminar on Urban
Form (Guangzhou, 2009) and will be available in URBANUS RECORDS.
