civic layering
Zhai Wensi
Li Ye
Beijing, thus preserving certain existing spaces,
structures and skills in a dynamic and meaningful way;
relocation of the steel mill, many workers and their
families will remain within the district and will require
housing and employment opportunities.
In response to the dynamism of the location of the
site at a real and conceptual urban periphery our
design concept revolves around:
•
•
Examining the city as a dynamic socio-spatial,
economic and political network rather than a static
conception of built form.
•
Questioning the determinism of large scale
master-planning and exploring how urban design
can become an adaptable process that responds to a
rapidly changing urban context.
The new housing developments outside the
Shougang factory site do not adequately address
the social demands within the area, nor do they
address the cultural and environmental value of
the district as an historic industrial district and as
a green urban edge.
In focusing on developing a public framework within
the site that strongly responds to the civic logic of
Beijing – rethreading the Shougang site back into the
city – new opportunities for access to dynamic urban
networks would be provided. This would increase:
•
Developing a new conception of value in real
estate development through iterative planning.
•
Re-imaging industrial processes and providing
a dynamic program structure that supports this.
Our Approach
The area around the Shougang factory site shows evidence of rapid development, particularly in the creation of high-rise housing estates. At the same time,
many recently-urbanized families occupy low-rise,
dense housing pockets interspersed within this new
fabric, and have little access to public space, public
transport and employment opportunities. With the
•
Economic value, through developing in a series
of iterative layers or stages and through the remediation of certain areas of the site;
•
Social value, through prioritizing the development of a dignified public-space network, which
would remain and be reinforced through iterative development layerings of the site, thus creating community centers and urban connections;
•
Cultural value, through the retaining and reinterpretation of the industrial role of the site within
•
Environmental value, through the linking of Shougang’s vast riverfront, mountain areas and green
spaces back into the public structure of Beijing.
Thus our design approach is strongly linked to the
notion of civic layering, where a series of urban design “moves” happen to maximize on the economic,
social, cultural and environmental value of the site,
each being influenced by the layers that came before
and after. In concentrating on securing the main civic
“moves”, a certain amount of freedom and responsiveness is allowed, where the development of the
site may be taken up by multiple parties over time
without compromising civic structural and access to
public spaces.
In determining a “first move” catalyst layer, the highly-imageable notion of an exposition was drawn
upon. A new type of industrial exposition is proposed for the site as an instrument for re-examining
the potential role of industry in Beijing and solidifying the identity of the site as a space of both industrial innovation and tradition.

Closed System / Open Network
Until now, the Shougang site has
been a closed system whose boundaries divide it from the complex
network that surrounds it. We are
interested in how we can strategically
re-thread the Shougang site back
into its surrounding dynamic network
over a number of years.

We must instead develop the area in a
number of layers where each layer is overlaid only once the impact of the previous
layers and their relationship with the surrounding urban networks is understood.
This can be seen as a ‘dynamo’ system
where each stage sets off the next part of
the project.

Civic Layer 1:
World Innovation Industrial Exposition
A layering of themed thresholds leading up to the
termination point of the East-West Axis, which is
centered on a new “drum tower” – an industrial relic
reinterpreted and adapted to reveal the development of the site in a public forum.
The Expo program gives us the ability to not only
create access and mobility connections across the
site but also to improve public amenity and make
a bold statement at the end of the East-West Axis.
In relation to our organizing principles this has
resulted in:
•
A new gateway in the north of the site that directs
traffic past furnace no.1 (the most prominent furnace)
•
•
An internal center at Furnace No. 4, which is adapted
in order to accommodate an industrial archive and
digital data bank for new processes on the site.
The conceptual finishing of the east-west axis
at our site and diverting the axis in line with the
existing factory grid to the south of the site
•
New subway and rail stations, as well as internal
light-rail and bus systems.
•
Initial remediation of the site so that the land.
This will also increase the value of the land when
it comes time for it to be developed.
•
Revealing the water links between the two lake
areas and leading water from the lakes into the
remediation areas in order to irrigate the remediation.

The Industrial Exposition is
focused around the larger lake,
with Chinese pavilions to the
south, international pavilions
within the lake itself, and a new
research centre made up of
research institutions and corporations to the north. Many pavilions are to be constructed of
repurposed steel in a way that
will make them easily adaptable
and dismountable.

The functions and pavilions associated with the
Exposition become the skeleton of the future program and civic structure on the site. The new layer
thus consolidates and extends the functions of the
Exposition on the site:
•
The different sections of the Expo create three
distinct districts around the big lake area: an industrial innovation “think tank”, a series of recreational platform areas within the lake, and the
creation of “skills embassies” to the south of the
lake. These become new points in China’s 21st
Century industrial network.
•
•
This is supplemented by the creation of several
new “hard skills” training and lecturing facilities
within the retained industrial structures throughout the site. These structures are supplemented
with new symbiotic buildings, each including
the creation of a defined green forecourt and
other civic facilities, thus forming the skeleton
for the civic structure of these urban quarters in
later development layers.
The housing areas for the Expo are densified and
housing is used to infill other areas in the site.
•
The north-west edge of the large lake is eroded
to increase access to the water. Several new
water channels are lead into the surrounding
fabric. The green park area along the river is further developed.
•
The area to the south of the east-west axis enters another cycle of remediation, and the axial
road edge is lined with commercial structures.
•
Administrative structures are developed along
the east-west axis.

Community
Connections
This layering sees a more liberal response to market pressures to the north-east of the site, given
that the public and civic structure has already been
underpinned here through previous layering. This
phase sees the attraction of more commercial,
institutional and business functions to the site as a
result of the development of an industrial skills and
innovation district here, with an associated community who support these new processes. The
southern section of the site is developed during
this layering as a community-centered quarter.
•
Housing is further developed in the north-east
and southern portions of the site in order to
house the developing community within the
area. This development begins to formalize the
connections across the site and into the neighboring movement/grid structures. However, a
central swath of green remediation space remains at this stage as green public space.
•
The large warehouses/steel-rolling plants to the
south of the site are removed and their footprints
become programmed green spaces – soccer
fields, swimming pools and so forth. These are

surrounded by retained industrial structures,
which are similarly re-used to accommodated
required civic and community functions, such
as schools and health centers. These, along
with relocated international pavilions from the
lake area within the exposition form the civic
structuring of these new urban quarters.
