Mixed Use Complex

AI 11 Yibin Dadipo 2nd Phase modern hotel

Wuxi Shinglimin landscape

Project Description: - this project was a very significant urban park that had been completely excavated in the creating of the new metro in the city. The urban park then initially included an underground shopping center and an urban park at street level: We provided two proposals, one of which I helped develop, but which was rejected as too costly. Later on a simplified compromise version was accepted.

My final thesis was about Urban housing and revitalization, in the context of a post apartheid Johannesburg. On a broader level it looked at the Urban redevelopment policies, access to housing for the new South African context and the reality facing the new ANC government. On another level I tried to look at the possibilities of mixed use residential buildings in the city, with all the problems and benefits of urban dwelling. The project proposed small service industry warehouses and workshops with a school above and community center above, with housing above the school.
