DRIA International Design Competition 2016

Valenzuela City

Valenzuela is located north of Manila. It is bounded in the north by Meycauayan and Caloocan (NE), Quezon City in the east, Manlia in the south and Malabon and Navotas in the west. Valenzuela City have access to Manila Bay via the Malabon wetlands.

​

The site

The coomon site in Valenzuela City for all the DRIA 2016 design proposals is the area along the Polo River that links Polo city center with the Meycauyan River. The area sits on 11 Barangay political areas and has approximately 3.2Km long.

​

The Polo centre is located at the southern tip of the area of focus, where different facilities such as the public market, city hospital and parish church, and the main plaza can be found. The centre has predominantly a residential character, mainly with 2 storey buildings.

​

Along the canal, and especially along the road leading north, residential developments can be found. Fishpond areas usually occupy the land between these residential areas and the canal.

​

Starting from the Meycauyan River, approximately 2.5Km of dykes have been built to protect the area, however the last section closet to Polo bridge is not protected and it is still affected by flooding episodes during light and heavy rain, and has been touched by several typhoons in the last years.

​

According to the "Projected Population Density Map 2018" Polasan will be the densest area in the city, with the range of 201-225 persons per hectare. Looking at the Population Density by Barangay we note that Palasan is already the densest Barangay in the city and its density is even higher than the expected by the Projected Population Map. The population in the Polo city center has increased 12.2% from 2007 to 2013.

​

In this sense the government assumes that in the next years densification will continue to happen and in fact it will be promoted in order to reinforce the central character of the area. Thus, the area is expected to incorporate between 700 and 800 new families.

​

Teams will have to propose creative and alternative solutions to create a resilient community incorporating in the designs proposals between 700 and 800 new housing units to accommodate the new population expected. In addition all the necessary services, facilities and other uses for the new population will have to be incorporated.

TEAM A

Micro-self-healing

​

The process of spontaneiusly renovate from the most basic unit.

​

Owing to urban and rural development gap in Philippines, infrastructure in remote areas are generally imperfect, and urban system are not strong enough, either. When the towns face the natural disasters, especially the coastal ones, it's difficult to come over the resources, and residents can not always rely on others to rescue.In this situation, it's the best way that help them build the"Micro-self-healing"mechanism.

​

By individually self-healing, trying to establish a micro-subsistence system, re-create interaction between people, intensify community cohesion, enhance the ability to adapt to the environment and generate self- worth identity, becoming a sustainable resilient city.

TEAM B

Resilient Grid

​

In order to make the city a safer place to live and cope with the loss of illegal power connections for the government, we try to come up with a win-win plan by creating a new power transmission system that, based on the old one, induces residents to use and gives them a chance to earn extra money with equipment of generating electricity by manpower. On the other hand, the government can get the revenue without loss after renewing the existing power transmission system and cut down the possibilities of fire accidents.

 

 

Besides the new power transmission system, we provide a mini community center in each region of fifteen-to-twenty houses to strengthen the social relationship. It would become a temporary assembly place in which residents can also generate emergency power during the flood, without electric supply.

 

 

When a disastrous flood hits, people at the mini community center are able to use the detachable device to flee or move to a higher refuge for protection, depending on different areas. Thus, they have the capability to rescue themselves in an urgent situation.

蓬萊。Tension

“We would like to show that in the permanent debate about the quality of the built environment, there is not only need but also room for action”.

- Alejandro Aravena,2015

台灣位於西太平洋的亞熱帶島嶼，山河清麗， 物產豐富，許多人喜以《山海經》等古籍中 的海上神山仙島「蓬萊」雅稱台灣。在地質 新生代時的「蓬萊造山運動」形塑了今日台 灣的主要形貌，花東縱谷則成為造山運動的 交會介面。

​

進一步說，係由歐亞大陸板塊與菲律賓海板 塊之造山運動擠壓而形成，菲律賓海板塊沒 入歐洲大陸板塊之下並產生質變，而歐亞大

陸板塊的隆升造就了島嶼上的主要山系-中 央山脈，同時亦為東亞地區海拔最高的山脈。 山岳與海洋便是這座島嶼的本質。而從海底 併發而成的高山與陸地，便是藉由板塊與板 塊之間的之推擠、錯動、交疊、隱沒、隆升， 而形成壯麗的景緻，而至今仍不斷地進行造 山運動，不斷成長與變化。

​

其實，當前的台灣仍不斷進行另一種抽象的 造山運動-各種領域之間的競合、交疊與堆 積。倘若特別關注這些領域在其邊界交會之 處，經常可見相互之間的 tension(緊張)關 係所激起的掙扎與衝突，富含巨大能量，並 且不斷地來回探索自我與他者之間互為主體 的可能性。

​

這些不同的文化、經濟、政治、空間領域的 複層交疊所產生的矛盾與趣味，可以從跨國 的、國家的、城市的與身體的向度上來察覺 與探索。

作為世界體體系中一個複雜結構的蓬萊島 嶼，正在展現如何面對全球性物質與文化的 「遊牧主義」(nomadism)，將物質與文化 透過領域的埠口(port)作為結構通行點控制 進口(inport)，透過島嶼有機體的基因轉譯， 再向外出口(export)。

​

憑藉人口、語言、飲食、文化、宗教信仰與 價值觀的交流，與台灣都市與鄉村的實質的 空間環境，構成相互交織的圖像，彼此之間 的自我生成，不斷掙扎徘徊於對建築空間環 境的直覺判斷與知識學習，並相互滲透後轉 化為台灣自身獨特的在地基因，從吸納到外 溢，展開新的實踐行動，希冀從中找到自身 在區域及全球的角色。

Productive Flux 創造洪流

 

繼第二次工業革命(Information Explosion)後，我們承襲全球化的遺毒， 專業分工下的物流變化、人才外移、族群問 題等，我們不再以勞力展示經濟力，取而代 之的是知識強權 ; 伴隨著近乎無極限的生展 技術，「創造洪流(Productive Flux)」的 時代嫣然來臨。

 

以製造演變為「經」，將空間敘事舒展成 「緯」，我們探討時代變動下「人與人」 之間如何會面與疏離 ; 並結合電子紙不斷變 動、游移的特性，反應當代速食生活帶來 的便利與不安，進而建構出未來創造洪流 (Productive Flux)藍圖，反思人類社交活 動之本質。

 

設計概念分三個層次，首先傳達全球化導致 物流消長、人力汰換、族群融合，以及最終 邊緣文化將被主流吞噬等現象，以行動網路

為媒介，透過智慧型手機將參觀名眾之影像 (文字)顯現於電子紙面板上 ; 在不斷取代 他人與被取代的狀態下。

 

二者，反轉基地為美術館與其前廣場的場域 性質，作為都市中公共的社交空間，將館內 外美學生產與消費者的關係模糊化，透過互 動裝置感應參觀人潮密度，同時也顯現網路 虛擬世界與真實生活的人群交集與分散。

 

最後，回歸人體尺度的群聚，在自由選食、 選擇性汲取的資訊急流中，人們被迫在極短 暫的時間內迅速理解並建立信任於他人，然 而卻仍無法消除種族標籤、尊卑陳見。故藉 由不同尺度的看與被看，強化(抑或削弱) 人與人之間彼此的距離(安全感)，在瞬息 萬變的時空下找到一個平衡點。
