In this studio, students were asked to develop design proposals based in<br />
the transformation-regeneration of a dismissed industrial site located in<br />
Yangpu waterfront’s area, to pursue the re-activation.<br />
Waterfront renovation design strategies require deeper research<br />
and understanding that has to mitigate urban development with<br />
environmental requirements. Water into the urban context encourages<br />
innovation that led to improve and produce more creative management<br />
of water-related resources, water-resilient architectural design<br />
strategies and techniques, and the development of a proactive vision of<br />
urban landscape transformed and enhanced by water.<br />
The objective was, through the design proposal, to define strategies,<br />
scenarios, and tactics for the development of innovative incubators.<br />
Sustainable urban development practices allow through “urban<br />
creativity” the creation of innovative experimental clusters for the<br />
enhancement of the existing historical contexts.<br />
Students took into consideration the presence and value of the Industrial<br />
Architectural heritage in the site, as an opportunity of placemaking and<br />
qualitative transformation. A dialogue between memory (industrial<br />
heritage) and innovation (new spaces for makers) represented an<br />
exciting challenge for the successful re-activation of the waterfront.<br />
