1 like574 views
The document outlines a high-density mixed-use development project called 'The Whale' located in Amsterdam, aiming to integrate social and private housing with business accommodations. It emphasizes the importance of balancing private and public spaces while optimizing land use and fostering a vibrant urban environment. The document also discusses a case study on high-density developments in Guiyang, China, highlighting best practices and challenges in urban planning and design.

- 17. The Whale (Netherland) Typology: High Density Mixed use (Residence, accommodation) Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands Program: 150 social housing, 64 private housing to rent, 1,100 business accommodation, 179 parking spaces. Size: 35,800 sq. m
- 18. CONTEXT Project located in Borneo, Sporenburg – former harbour area in Amsterdam redeveloped to include 2500 low-rise dwelling units (density – 100 units/hec.) Earlier development had sprawling low-rise rows of dwellings Sea of houses interrupted by 3 major blocks, 1 of which is The Whale. BORNEO - SPORENBURG Low-Rise sprawling development marked by The Whale
- 19. FEATURES • Central open green space • Business area on ground • Car park underneath • Building raised from bottom • Creates a kind-of semi public open space in the mid. • Sunlight is said to pierce through the bottom cavity • Each point provides different view of city
- 20. BASIC ANALYSIS • Attempt made to integrate green space • Traditionally private space transformed into public garden space • Cleverly tried to provide morning and evening sunlight to bottom floors • However monotonous rectangular plan leaves little to generate interest in space

- 23. EXAMPLE TAKEN: Guiyang Riverside, China KEY FACTORS: • High Density as a relative factor • City Typology/ Climate • FSI • Example taken (Containing NATURE OF CITY) • High Density large scale development in context of Vijayawada. High-Density, Mixed-Use Developments on the Guiyang Riverside, China
- 24. THE CASE STUDY • Guiyang- third-tier city in the Guizhou province. • Located in a mountainous area, (developable land is scarce). • The Riverside Theatre is being designed at the center of the old city as a new cultural destination and business hub. • The development is designated to provide 940,000 square meters of civic, hospitality, office, retail, and residential offerings within a 130,000-square-meter parcel.
- 25. • The project illustrates the strategies necessary to create responsible and profitable high- density, mixed-use development. • Problems Involved: • Land area utilization • Balancing private space with the public realm. • Challenges: • Optimal Site and Land Area Utilization- • The evolution from single-use to mixed-use development unfolded as more people desired the convenience Of fulfilling their daily needs – living, working, and shopping– within close proximity. • Land optimization.
- 26. • Balancing Private Space with the Public Realm. (Office, residential, and hospitality programs provide private space for the end user and have bracketed timeframes for occupancy. • Whereas, retail environment opens up the public and the timeframe for access through the social spaces like landscaped decks and terraces. • By providing a venue for activities on site, these mixed use podiums can change the living, working and social experience on an urban scale.
- 28. 1. Recognizing the merger of iconic high- rise development architecture with the place making aspects of urban design, planning, retail design, interiors, graphics and landscape architecture disciplines. 2. Understanding the unique needs of the project. As in, : • Urban & city context. • Balancing market and development goals, as well as aspirations of city leaders and the developers. • Multidimensional traffic and transit solutions: metro, taxi, bus, car and bicycles must be considered in the strategy. • Climate and weather impacts on the site (in the case of the Guiyang project, a riverfront resiliency strategy for flooding) 3. Capturing the total value opportunity of the retail podium of the infill: • Developing a horizontal and vertical anchoring strategy. • Creating an urban fabric of open and closed spaces. • Creating a dynamic urban district, rather than just a shopping mall in the city. • Taking a hospitality approach to design, in order to create a lifestyle-oriented environment that allows users to enjoy and dwell in the space. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
- 29. 4. Addressing the unique needs of all functions of the infill: • Dedicated address for residential, office and cultural uses. • Rooftop or public green spaces associated with each use, including parks and open space, pools, sports amenities, and health clubs. 5. Addressing regulatory needs for sunlight and climate: • Sun angle and shadow casting (this is of particular significance in China). • Wind and natural ventilation. • Wind and climate on structural loading and curtain wall design. 6. Addressing the code and regulatory requirements of the municipality, including, but not limited to: • Fire codes and fire access. • Building face requirements. • Land-use planning (especially with multiple uses). • FAR. • Land coverage and green space. • Parking. • Civil protection requirements.
