Our team is composed of five members, each of us is taking care of one of the critical elements of a city.
The five elements in urban are infrastructure, residence area, office area, parks, and culture space.I am in charge of infrastructure planning: design public transportation system.
Los Angeles is overly spread out. How can the city deal with the coming issues like the large amount of immigrants moving into downtown, the lack of energy and resources, and the crowed public space in the city.
The solution we proposed is a vertical city plan: a multi-layered and web-woven transportation network.
The existing buildings in the city are the hosts of the new transportation system. Train stations are installed in the intersections.
Except for the current existing transportation system, we also develop a new non-stopping circular line within that existing system.
The new city-wide transportation system not only provides people with a much faster way to commute but also provides residents a more convenient life.Each building is connected with each other by the continually extending unit cells.
Buildings and unit cells together form an aerial transportation platform.
The interior of each building to some extend connects with each other and becomes part of the space in the city.
When the unit cell attaches to the building, its body structure extends into the interior of the building.
The floor where the unit attaches becomes the lobby of train station.
