THRESHOLDLocated in Panyu, a rapidly growing suburb of Guangzhou , China, the project spans two separate sites that bookend an existing residential development. The project takes advantage of an existing residential corridor to provide a pedestrian link to the south sites dense commercial strip and local mass transit systems. A mixed use program was developed in response to a lack of differentiation in Chinese residential typologies, where the reliance on high rise developments are the norm. Each site was developed with a unique identity corresponding to its individual demographic. Current residents of the south site are being relocated to the north site to make way for a new high end residential and commercial development. While each site seeks to create a specific identity, both sites engage with their surrounding context and use sectional variation as means to address issues of privacy in the dense urban fabric of Guangzhou. 4. 02 03NORTH SITE 172,047 mSOUTH SITE 210,301 mEXISTING SITE PHOTOSSITE PLANSCALE 1:3000 5. 02 03 NORTH SITE SITE APPROACH The north site is being developed to house current residents of the south site who are being displaced by the new development. The north site will include residential, retail, commercial, and educational spaces. The ground level is split between residential and the commercial space of the live/work units. Commercial space lines the boardwalk along the lake. The node of commercial space is the central communal living area of the site. It is a place where a temporary market can take place under the canopy structures. The perimeter is lined with the ground level of live/work units. The ground level is set back with an arcade like experience reflective of traditional Chinese architecture. At the center of the node is a public space with theater. Ground floor residential units line the remaining cell borders. A school for site residents is located at the western corner of the site. The second level of the north site predominately community space surrounded by live/work units along the cells perimeter. Tower sit within the cells boundaries as residents of both high rise and low rise residential share the open space of the cell center. Recreational activities and circulation are programed within these spaces. In addition to the live/work units there are also garden units that have small plots of private land along the border of the cell wall. A row of two story commercial spaces fills the space between cells.CIRCULATION - NORTH SCALE 1:6000INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL CIVICLEGEND PUBLIC CIRCULATION VEHICULAR CIRCULATION COMMUNITY CIRCULATIONPLAN - NORTH1ST FLOOR / SCALE 1:3000PLAN - NORTH2ND FLOOR / SCALE 1:3000URBAN CONTEXT - NORTH SCALE 1:6000 6. 04 05RENDER - NORTHRENDER - NORTHAERIAL VIEW - PLAZAAERIAL VIEW - BOARDWALKCOMMUNITY PARKINGSECTIONAL ACCESS DIAGRAM - NORTHBOARDWALK SECTION - NORTHCOMMUNITY PARKINGCOMMUNITY PARKINGNEIGHBORHOOD SECTION - NORTH 7. 06 07 SOUTH SITE SITE APPROACH The south site is a high end development offering luxury residential units, hotel units, dense commercial, and retail spaces. The sunken level of the south site is structured around the series of pedestrian paths running through the site one floor below grade. Light commercial spaces line the pedestrian path and provide needed amenities to both the residents of the site as well as residents of neighboring areas who pass through the site on their way to other destinations. Light commercial programs include small cafes, hair salons, daycare facilities, among many other small businesses providing amenities to local residents. Parking is located behind the commercial space and provides service access for businesses. The first level of the south site contains dense commercial space along the south and east edges of the site. The commercial strip is local destination for shopping and recreation and is seen as attracting people from beyond the site itself. In addition to the shopping, a 20 story hotel sits on the southern corner of the site. The first level is at grade and within the residential cells is the community space. A mixture of housing types, including five story low rise residential units and 33 story towers fill the ground level within the cells.CIRCULATION - SOUTH SCALE 1:6000PLAN - SOUTH1ST FLOOR / SCALE 1:3000PLAN - SOUTH2ND FLOOR / SCALE 1:3000URBAN CONTEXT - SOUTH SCALE 1:6000 8. 08 09COMMUNITYCOMMUNITYPARKINGCOMMUNITYPARKINGRENDER - SOUTHPARKINGSUNKEN LEVEL SECTION - SOUTHRENDER - SOUTHCOURTYARD INFIELDSUNKEN LEVEL NODERETAIL COMMUNITYSECTION ACCESS DIAGRAM - SOUTHCOMMUNITYCOMMUNITYCOMMERCIAL BUFFER ZONE SECTION - SOUTH 9. CONNECTING THE VOIDThanks to structural differences between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, an average exchange of 19,890 non-commercial vehicles exists on a daily basis. This exchange focuses on two categories; employment and people crossing the border for recreational purposes. Connecting the Void calls for the removal of all vehicular traffic from the Ambassador Bridge, with the volume of traffic that uses that crossing being diverted to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and the new bridge to the south. With the removal of this traffic, the existing plazas at either landing of the bridge, as well as the bridge itself, become vacant and thus re-programmable space. Given that health care coverage is free in Canada, and the funds for Detroits Public Library system are rapidly evaporating, the implementation of a new hospital and a regional public library can enhance these pre-existing flows. 10. 12 13 UNITED STATES SITE PARKFor the Detroit side, the proposal calls for a regional hospital, which serves not only Detroit, but also the residents of Sandwich and Windsor. Asthma rates in the Detroit region are more than three ties the national average, with the major proponent being air pollution from not only the surrounding heavy industrial areas but also from the high volume of vehicular traffic across the Ambassador Bridge. With the same medical issues occurring at high rates in Sandwich, in conjunction with the high number of specialized health care practitioners commuting daily to Detroit for employment due to salary advantages, this hospital serves Canada as well, thus creating a flow.HIGHER ORDER TRANSIT 25 km/h BIKE 15-25 km/h PEDESTRIAN 5 km/hPEDESTRIAN 5 km/hREMEDIAL PLANTINGPARKING 50 000 sq mCANADIAN SITE The approach on the Canadian side focuses on allowing the University of Windsor to reclaim a portion of this new void with the implementation of desperately needed student housing units, a new recreation center, classrooms and professorial office space, in addition to a new library. The library becomes the focal point of the re-developed site as it serves the University of Windsor, and the surrounding communities of both Windsor and Detroit. With the Detroit Public Library system facing a deficit of $17 million this year, its easy to project that Detroits libraries will become extinct in the very near future. Thus, with the establishment of this regional library along with both tram and pedestrian access across the Ambassador Bridge, a flow is created.DUTY FREE RECREATION CENTRE CENTRAL LIBRARYHIGHER ORDER TRANSIT 25 km/h BIKE 15-25 km/hRECREATION CENTRE 4 500 sq m GOVT OFFICES 6 537 sq m MAIN ENTRY HALL + TRAM 1621 sq m PARKING 9 000 sq m DUTY FREE + RETAIL 6 000 sq m CLASSROOMS 15 000 sq m CENTRAL LIBRARY 40 000 sq mADMIN + RESEARCH 32 600 sq mMAIN ENTRY HALL + TRAM 10 550 sq m DUTY FREE + RETAIL 38 700 sq mAUDITORIUMPEDESTRIAN 5 km/h STUDENT HOUSING PARKING REGIONAL HOSPITAL OFFICE CUSTOMS AND BORDERSTUDENT HOUSING 30 000 sq mREGIONAL HOSPITAL 101 000 sq mSITE PLAN 1:5000 11. 14 15 VISA WAIVER PROGRAMWORK (INTO CANADA) - 4,737WORK (INTO U.S.) - 4,184RECREATION (INTO CANADA) - 5,817DETROITRECREATION (INTO U.S.) - 5,152VACATION (INTO CANADA) - 1,716 OTHER (INTO CANADA) - 1,852VACATION (INTO U.S.) - 1,163 OTHER (INTO U.S.) - 1,732$36 8714 296 250AMBASSADOR BRIDGE 26,352 DAILY TRUSTED TRAVELERWINDSOR$29 845323 342TRUSTED WORK/STUDY DETROIT-WINDSOR TUNNEL 25,239 DAILYNEXUSCITY BOUNDARIESPOPULATIONSUBMIT COMPLETED APPLICATIONAVERAGE WAGE AFTER TAX (NON RESIDENT)AFTER 6-8 WEEKS, A JOINT INTERVIEW IS CONDUCTED WITH BOTH AMERICAN AND CANADIAN BORDER REPRESENTITIVES PRESENT QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO CITIZENSHIP, CRIMINAL RECORD, & BORDER CROSSING EXPERIENCE LEGALITIES OF BRINGING THINGS ACROSS THE BORDER ARE OUTLINED FINGERPRINTS AND RETINAL SCANS ARE TAKENWORK (INTO CANADA) - 4,554 RECREATION (INTO CANADA) - 5,360VACATION (INTO U.S.) - 433 OTHER (INTO U.S.) - 1,842AUTO INDUSTRY - 75%STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OR CARD IS TAKENRECREATION (INTO U.S.) - 6,392VACATION (INTO CANADA) - 484 OTHER (INTO CANADA) - 1,383NEXUS CARD IS GOOD FOR 5 YEARS AND COSTS $50WORK (INTO U.S.) - 3,791AUTO INDUSTRY - 27 %INFO FROM GOCANADA.ABOUT.COMWORK/STUDY ENTRY VISAS17%22.5%COMPLETED DESIGNATED VISA APPLICATION (TYPE H, L, O, P or Q) INTERVIEW AT T EMBASSY CONSULAR SECTION REQUIRED FOR APPLICANTS AGE 14-79 DIGITAL FINGERPRINTS ARE TAKENMEDICAL - 31%` MEDICAL - 3%`REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION: ONLINE NON-IMMIGRANT VISA ELECTRONIC APPLICATION (FORM DS-160) PASSPORT WITH AT LEAST 6 MONTHS OF VALIDITY LEFT ONE 2 x 2 COLOR PHOTO WITH FULL FACE , FRONT VIEW AND A PLAIN WHITE BACKGROUND TN VISA OPTION AS WELL FOR NAFTA WORKERSAVERAGE MARGINAL INCOME TAX RATE (NON RESIDENT)AVERAGE MARGINAL INCOME TAX RATE (RESIDENT)0-38%2111-15%FEDERAL CORPORATE TAX RATE 1:171 8501:32 334OTHER - 37%CONTROL POINT + TICKETING10PARKING72 hrsEXISTING FLOWSPARKING 50 000 sq mPORT OF ENTRYCUSTOMS + BORDER SERVICESNEXUSENTRY ADMIN + RESEARCH 32 600 sq mDETERMINEPEDESTRIANMAIN ENTRY HALL + TRAM 10 550 sq m DUTY FREE + RETAIL 38 700 sq mSEARCHBIKE 203 $bns966 hrsBORDER SERVICES - 3%`INFO FROM TRAVEL.STATE.GOVPORT OF DEPARTURENUMBER OF LIBRARIESCOLLECTION NO ENTRYRATIO OF LIBRARIES TO POPULATIONSTRUCTURAL DIFFERENCESAVERAGE WAIT TIME FOR A CT SCAN/MRIGDPCASINO - 2%`OTHER - 37%24DRINKING AGEU.S. BOUND WORKER TRAFFICBORDER SERVICES - 2%`STATE/PROVINCE CORPORATE TAX RATE19CANADA BOUND WORKER TRAFFICCASINO - 1%`11 $bnRECREATION CENTRE 4 500 sq m GOVT OFFICES 6 537 sq m MAIN ENTRY HALL + TRAM 1621 sq m PARKING 9 000 sq m DUTY FREE + RETAIL 6 000 sq m CLASSROOMS 15 000 sq m CENTRAL LIBRARY 40 000 sq mREGIONAL HOSPITAL 101 000 sq mSTUDENT HOUSING 30 000 sq mNEW CROSSING PROCESSPROGRAMMATIC DISTRIBUTION 12. 16 17UNITED STATES PLAZAPARK PARKING REGIONAL HOSPITAL SECTION BB 1:250MASS TRANSIT BIKE PEDESTRIANUNITED STATES PLAZAUNITED STATES PLAZA 1:1000 13. 18 19CANADIAN PLAZAHOUSING ALUMNI HALL + CONFERENCE CENTREMASS TRANSIT DUTY FREE + RETAILCUSTOMS AND BORDER CUSTOMS OFFICES AUDITORIUM CLASSROOMSSECTION AA 1:250STUDENT HOUSING RECREATION CENTRECANADIAN PLAZA 1:1000CANADIAN PLAZA 14. PUBLIC AMENITY NUMBER ONELocated in Seoul, Public Amenity Number One puts residents in contact with each other and gives them access to a great range of amenities by restricting private space and providing appealing common areas throughout the building. Many of the daily activities are carried out in these common spaces might otherwise be thought of as private. This arrangement allows people to be connected to their neighbors rather than living in isolation. The difference in the amenities available in individual units, by floor, and throughout the building creates the incentive for residents to inhabit the entire building; not just their own floor or unit. By venturing out of their units, residents enjoy a much wider range of amenities than would be available in a single unit. For example, throughout the building there are double height floors which provide space for gardening, games, exercise, grilling and generally provide larger gathering spaces for the inhabitants of the entire building. 15. 22 23 EARTH The public earthscape allows for nutrition and tranquility through Zen gardens and rentable growing plots.The EARTH, from which we find nourishment, gives way to individual and cultural values.FIRE The public fire and activity level allows for a range of social and individual retreats from barbeque pits to isolated fire pits.Warmth, passion, and activity, FIRE embodies social interaction across many scales.WATER The public waterscape allows for interaction between public and private social scales through direct access from the site as well as from the individual units.From the individual to the social scale, WATER is a source of tranquility. 16. 24 25 UNIT TYPEACCESSIBILTYMAXIMUM CAPACITYBEDROOMS BATHROOMSA1 1 2 3BATHTUBVANITYTOILETSTOVEMICROWAVEFRIDGEMINI-FRIDGEARMCHAIRLOVESEATCOUCHDINING SET1.5DSHOWER0.5CCLOSET0.5BBED2.5AMENITY MATRIX118INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE - UNIT C 31TYPICAL FLOOR PLANUNIT A - 280 ft2UNIT B - 330 ft2UNIT C - 1070 ft2UNIT D - 1630 ft2UNIT PLANS 17. 26 27PARTIAL BUILDING SECTIONPHYSICAL MODELS 18.
