Academic Work
Imagine a Chinese district that does not follow the existing urban development trend. Imagine a neighbourhood where as a local you can easily relate to the styles, the culture and the habits. Imagine a new Chinese development that is as active and happy as the former, destroyed in order to improve.
That’s the Central People’s District of Tianjin. The design that plays with trends, breaking them, and exploring how to make it better. Why create a new business district, when you can create a very diverse and active district?
My design aims on focusing mainly on the people, the life in between and ll the interesting things that can happen when you mix: demographics, tenure, activities and uses.

Chinese cities needs more of that, instead of erasing every little settlement that still contains these qualities and simply replacing it with cold and massive blocks that do not invite any sort of social interactions.
The Central People’s District of Tianjin wants to experiment on how it would be to keep up with the fast urbanization trend and not lose important qualities and being able to take care and give back to the environment.
