Masterplanning for a New City
in Quingpu, Shanghai.
VERTICAL TERRITORIALITY
The growth of cities, their influences and the mask which
they define on the whole grounds must be reconsidered.
Extending a city should be no longer at the expense of
arable land. Economic concerns that guide the new urban issues must be able to
coincide with the
Same concerns that have established practices for
cultivation before the development of cities.
NESSIE project newly supplies the territory with oxygen
thanks to the built towers which take place at the heart of the history of the
territory.
The towers have an open-aired column in their centers which
allow oxygenation to go to the lower layer.
Oxygenation, development of bacteria in these old
asphyxiated strata, it can regenerate a necessary ecosystem to the superficial
layers where life and
vegetation grow. Groundwater, regulations, redevelopment,
their bacteriological regulations in an autonomous way. And it can provide a
healthy home to
human activities, flora and fauna to immersed areas around
the extension of the new town.MULTISCALAR
A city extends in all directions. The landscape is composed
and discomposed of any materials.
The growth ring of trees that gives an account of the past
years is readable also in the laid and covered layers forming the ground on
which we walk andgo forward. Its rottenness reflects our incomprehension of
the territories.
Perforating the inferior layers such as the ground worms,
the city then comes to insufflate lives, and bacteria to an ecosystem in the
abandonment.RICHNESS
The marsh is much more than a pastoral visibility. It is one
of the most varied Ecosystem. Not going outside of the city but being in the
center of the identity of the country is paramount. The ace crosses
incomprehension, the negligence with the rejection and the destruction of vital
spaces come from their illegibility, as well physical as intellectual.
