The student house is located above the MURAZZI which was the landing and boathouse built on the west bank of the Po River near the center of the city of Turin during the nineteenth century. The function is to preserve the city center by fl oods. Nowadays it has become a popular destination of Turin nightlife. The building is considered as the connection of the city in the upper and the river in the lower. The form of the building falls from the city to the river, and the side toward the city is linear symbolizing the solid face of the it, and the side facing the river is curved symbolizing fl owing waves.

To satisfy different needs, there are three types of rooms, in which rooms for the disable takes up about 5% of the total number. Each room is equiped with toilet and kitchen. All the rooms are arranged along the four sides with a concentric hive in the center. Various activities and events can be held here. The bulding is cross ventilated and cooled during the day through the skylightt roof windows by creating stack effect.

The general idea is to maintain the silos as much as possiple both structurally and geometrically by limited demolition and openings. To revive the silos, a new rising, avant-garde and trendy space that hosts high-level cultural, artistic and commercial activities has been created. It is able to hold more than 1000 visitors; in the meantime can provide the artists not only the lofts to live in, but also the full accommodation facilities such as restaurant, bars, shared or individual workshops.

The new construction, which is devoted to loft and studio, is concentrated at the top part of the silos where the natural light condition is better. The internal space is refurbished for cultural, artistic and commercial exhibitions. The major natural light is given form skylight, like oculus in ancient buildings. Silos are cut into 10 fl oors, both the ground and top are totally public, while the rest floors are mixed, in order to create an inspiring space for the communication and interactions among the artists and the visitors.

The scheme is named "The Fifth Season" - an entertainment center of 2200 meter sq. coverage aiming to complete the RDM campus ecosystem, where local people and visitors will fi nd it enjoyable and relaxing, far away from normal working seasons. As a combination of a maritime museum and an auditorium. The museum of the Fifth Season houses a permanent collection of RDM-site as a former shipyard, while the auditorium hosts various events ranging from concerts to orchestras.

03_ReRDM: The Fifth Season

12

The Fifth Season’s form is no pure aesthetics; it is about context and function.Upon site analysis and creating connections with different elements, the building now sits at the end of the abandoned pier, where it used to connect the entire world with the RDM campus. It provides easy access from both land and water, and a great panoramic view of the dock and the outer harbor. The building stretches an acute angle towards the west to dissipate majority eastern wind during the year. It has a curved, tilted glazed façade for an excellent outward view, with a parametric sunshading layer on top that provide fl exible daylight control over every part of the building.

The building's organic form extends from exterior to interior. A ramp guides visitors from ground level to the top level of the maritime museum, alongside exhibits of ship models hung from the ceiling. An escalator situated at the center of the museum stretches from top level straight to the underground exhibition, and then back to the ground level, marking an end to the processive museum journey. The cafe at the top level opens up to a panoramic harbor view outwards while enjoying a cup of coffee.

There are two entrance levels to the auditorium for circulation control. The auditorium ceiling, serving as a huge solar-powered LCD screen as the same time, is specifi cally design at a tilted angle such that audience can sit back comfortably during a cinema show, at the same allowing more surface area for solar energy collection.Designed as RDM-campus’ future icon, the building reaches 20 meters at its tallest point to sit above surrounding buildings and to be seen from every angle around.

SITE CONNECTION 1The RDM-campus is a pre-university school for young criminals between ages of 16 to 25. Students who chose to study here were allowed more freedom, but in return they have to work hard to get back to the society. According to the care-taker of the Innovation Deck, “80% of the criminals here get employed after they graduate from RDM-campus. They are free to go after school in the evening, but there are just no places to go around the campus except working labs. There is no such place on campus for them to relax and enjoy social life.” Being separated from Rotterdam city center due to inconvenient transport, these students has little social interaction, thus might have a hard time getting back to the society. We decide to focus on providing the missing component - entertainment - in response to care-taker’s comment on lack of such spaces. Both the Innovation Deck and the Architectural Department Buildings are core learning buildings of the RDM Campus, located on the west coast and south coast respectively. We decided to develop our entertainment center from the water center, so it has a clear physical and functional separation from learning buildings.

SITE CONNECTION 2The real estate agent said, “RDM is in need of re-development, because the piers and so many buildings no longer function there are hardly any people visiting RDM.” Though the two piers are abandoned at the present, they give people access to the water center of the campus. We struggled between the locations around the two piers, later chose water-center around the eastern pier as our scheme’s starting point, since it provides further access to the water. We believe by building an iconic entertainment center and renovating the abandoned pier, more people will be attracted to visit RDM Campus, and eventually bringing the area back to life.

SITE CONNECTION 3Both “SEPAC” and “The Fifth Season” aims to provide an entertainment space to the RDM Campus. So we divided entertainment into further categories; “SEPAC” active entertainment space as shopping malls, while “The Fifth Season” hosts passive entertainment space as auditorium and musuem.With a dedicated bridges linking from The Fifth Season to SEPAC, it grants access to eastern shore of RDM Campus.

Beizhaojiachangvillage

After more than thirty years of Chinese economic reform, China has gradually changed from an agricultural country into a developed industrial country, accompanied with the rapid and mass urbanization. The plan is to move 400 million rural population into cities by 2030 and the urgent demand of new areas for economic growth have produced a tension between agricultural land and urban land that is reaching a critical impasse.

Thirty years ago, the majority of Chinese people were farmers. They lived in simple village houses and owned land collectively. Today, the radical transformation brought about through China’s economic reforms

has completely restructured this predominantly rural population in terms of their work, their leisure time, their homes, their incomes, their family structure and their aspirations.

Under such circumstances, a rural co-housing living model has been developed in this project. The objective is to increase the population density in rural areas as well as maintain the essence from traditional rural society.

• existing plan: the village without public facility and disorderly distributed

• government plan: the village with central public facility and orderly distributed

• our plan: the village with central public facility and maintain the original organic distribution

• our plan: the central public facility is divided into various sections in accordance with village's neccessity

• our plan: the village with public facilities distributed into different communities in the village by the reconstruction of existing buildings

Background of Beizhaojiachang villageBy 2011, the village has 67 households, 271 people. The number of labor force in the village is 135, accounting for 50% of the total population. About 50 people work as migrant workers in cities. The village road is divided into three categories, including one main road linked to the town, roads in farmland and roads connected to neighboring villages. There does not exist clearly defi ned roads inside the village. The survey indicates that the family of fi ve or four are in the majority of family structure, followed by the family of three. The avera ge area of homestead is around 120 square meters.The problem of lacking public facilities is serious. They have the demand of villagers' activity centers, kindergarten, supermarkets, children's play facilities and sites for celebration and events. The infrastructure of the village is not suffi cient.

Concept 1: Urbanization in-situIn the process of the expansion of villages, the population and the density increase gradually and the demand of public facilities can be satisfi ed, and fi nally the villages grow naturally to towns. To some extent, the villages are possible to fi nd its own ways to complete the urbanization goal rather than copying cities that are confronting a number of ticklish problems themselves. The villages have the advantages that the urbanized areas do not have. suppose that the villages can grow independently. That means we do not integrate the villages together and have all the best public resource in a super village.

Concept 2: DecentralizationInstead of building a unique public center includes all public facilities, we distribute the public facility separately, and based on that, we divide the village into 10 cohousing communities. This means each community has one public facility, such as kids center. Although we position one specifi c public building belongs to the corresponding community, this public building is intended to provide the service for the entire village. Public facilities have to be built, managed and maintained by the whole village. In this way, decentralized public facilities can promote the connection and the communication between communities.

Concept 3: RestorationIn our project we propose to consolidate and reconstruct the vernacular houses, in order to reuse them as public facilities or common houses. Moreover, we also reserve some original houses and courtyards for different purposes, for instance, some families can still live in them and at the same time rent some rooms to tourism.

Concept 4: Re-useRECYCLINGReuse brickwork from the demolished old buildings.

Multifunctional gathering area

The multifunctional gathering area is located nearly in the center of the village. According to the survey, there is no central collective area functioned as gathering space for the whole villagers in the existing plan. Expect of providing gathering space for special event in the village, it is also designed as a sports and recreational ground for daily use. Under the consideration of future expension, with increasing population density, a weekly fair can be held here too.

• recreation: in the morning and in the evening the gathering area can be used for square dance

• recreation: in summer, open movies and traditional opera performances can be held here

• sports ground: sports games and the school sports meeting

• weekly village fair: every weekend, a village fair can be held here

The kids center is located at the east side of the village. A small pond is adjacent to it. The intention is to break the existing courtyard walls and bring the nature into the kids center. Near the pond, several irregular terraces have been newly constructed which extends into the pond. In the courtyar, different levels of divison walls split the space in order to create a fun space for the kids.

The senior center is located in adjacent to the kids center. According to the survey, half percent of the villagers working outside of the village. As a result, usually only the grandparents and the chi ldren are lef t at home. The intention is to provide a conveniente place for the caretakers to spend their leisure time.

Concept 5: Co-housingWhy cohousing works in the Chinese rural context?Structurally, the layout of Chinese rural villages can be divided into three parts: the houses, the courtyard and the public open space. The courtyard, where most of the daily activities take place, is an important component of the homestead. The courtyard of a homestead is designed to be supportive of the social activities between neighbors, which helps to set up a relationship that is both visual and functional. Because the rural villages don’t have public facilities or space for gathering, most of the villagers’ social activities happen in the public open space.

The functions of common houses and common space match the way in which the villagers put in use of their courtyards and public open space. Hereby constructing a cohousing community appropriately into the traditional village, both the requirements of urbanization and rebuilding community life can be fullfi lled.

Concept 6: Progressive transformationThe village transform gradually, step by step. It takes relatively a long time for the growth of population, and the process can be divided into several phases. In accordance with the allocation of public buildings, we divide the entire village land into 10 communities with each of them contains 8 to 10 households. We choose one community for the practice which has originally 8 households.

Architecturally, the existing buildings can be categorized as residential constructions and service houses. Spatially, the open space can be categorized as public open space and private courtyards. The use of open space in rural areas are not clearly defi ned. The villagers have the habitat of automatically transforming their functions according to the seasons and activities. To achieve the goal of density increase and community construction, we build new multi-story buildings on the existing void space and convergent the private courtyards, the service houses and the open space into the common houses and common space based on the notion of cohousing community.

Residential buildingsThrough the progressive transformation, we totally constructed three clusters of residential buildings, which increased the number of households from 8 to 30. Whatever they are built on the previous void plot or after the demolition of the existing plot, they are all distributed in accordance with the original layout of the homesteads.

The construction of residential cluster B is completed through 2 phases. In phase 3, only three of them are built, and the rest two are fi nished in phase 4. Five blocks of buildings have built separately and connected by semi-private terraces, in order to create an open space which can be used mainly by families who live within this residential cluster B. In addition, every household has its own private yard whose area is normally around 15 square meters. We think it is positive to maintain this private yard. Visually, this private yard, the semi-private terrace and the outer common space can be reached easily. The interactions in different levels are encouraged. There are totally three housing typologies and the area is 96 square meters, 113 square meters and 164 square meters respectively.

Co-housing community

There are several aspects where we implant the notion of cohousing through the transformation of the village. (1) Common cultivation. The common cultivation land is separated from residential area, and is separated from residential area, and is rationally distributed into fi shpond, vegetation, and poultry cultivation. Furthermore, by the construction of common cultivation, left senior residents can continue their habituated living style, the community can satisfy their own food support and more importantly the frequency of social contact is increased. (2) Common houses transformed from existing houses. The target of common houses are the residents who belonging to the community. The residents can use the common houses collectively, when they host events and celebrations such as weddings and funerals, etc.
