FUTURE CHRISTCHURCH
Huxley Street as a typical Sydenham lifeless street locates between the big central park and a medium green space. The geographical feature is the reason why this street is selected as the detailing and developing object of the
green link system. The street is consistently quiet and the length of the street is out of human scale. Additionally, the street doesn't provide enough gathering spaces and resting spaces. The aim for the design is to establish a
connection, a link between the central park and the medium park as well as to bring peoples life back.
The location of the current link is for driveway. The utilization of the trafc on the street isnt frequent. According to the consideration regarding the organic connection between the two parks, associated with the continuity of
the characters of the parks and about the proposed green space master plan, the street is redefned and re-functioned as a pure green band, a street park for pedestrians.
There are several elements that are taken into account when the design is processing. The design considers the function and trafc joints among several areas and crisscrossing streets and utilize the transitional spaces to build
upseveral activity spaces, plazas. These small plazas provide people enough room to rest, entertain, communicate andperform. The settingof the plaza by the medium park takes the contemplation of the relationshipbetween
the park and the street. A cement-made stair resting and performing place is installed in front the park area as the organic and functional connection between the park and the street park. Also, a cement performing stage is
designed in front of the stairs. The ground lights surrounding the stage and stairs are responsible for the illumination of the area and the optimization of the environment at night. In the mid-section of the street, two resting
and entertaining combined plazas are located. One is a cement installation with a southern pine squared dressed board decked stair rest place on the one side and a cement slide with grass planted on the other side. The
concrete material pavers are renovated. Instead, a soft andeco-friendly grass landis under the installation as Green, this concept can be shown ofin diferent details andcloses the relationshipbetween people andthe nature.
In addition, kids and children may be attracted to the creativity of the installation. They can step up on the top of the stair and slide down to the grass land from another side. The place can become an open-air cinema at night
in summer. The other plaza is built upas an invisible maze. The plaza is deckedby concrete pavers andgeometrically dividedby squares anddiferent-sizedcircles from the topview. Some circles are usedfor the plantingof trees;
some are scaled into small holes and constitute a ground fountain; and the rest of the circles extend out vertically and become cement benches. Its not as same as the normal maze surrounded by hedges or other barriers. The
fountain is automatically manipulated. The water spouts are switched on and of by the computer system. Thus, unpredictable spouting water, tree matrix and benches create an invisible maze for people, especially for
children.The mini plaza at the top of the street is another performance place. It connects to the footpaths to the opposite directions, indirectly limits the boundary of the green link. A purple corridor comes up with the mini
plaza to highlight the entrance of the new park. The corridor is architecturally constructed by a radiata frame with wisteria growing on the frame. Wisteria is a kind of climber with beautiful purple perfumed fowers. The
artifcial planting will create impressive natural scenery as an icon of the new park and Sydenham.
Several plants are chosen for the park, including trees, shrubs, grasses and groundcovers. Osakazuki is the biggest tree among the plants in the park and the trees are planted beside the cycle lane as the division of the public
and semipublic areas. Its a Japanese maple tree. The leaves of the tree become yellow during early autumn. Yellow becomes a special color of the new park and contrasts with green. The yellow color also can highlight the park
and reminds people of the change of seasons.
The illustration system in the park follows the scale of the private and the public. Small gathering and communication spaces need soft light, so ground lights are designed around these places. Street lamps are for walkways.
The most importance of the park is the conscious and unconscious experience of the park.
The construction of the park release more space for people to establish an interaction among people and between people and the nature. Huxley Street is part of peoples life and the re-function of the street contributes to the
change of the life style. In other words, it can be a trigger of the creation of a new life.

Factory 2.0 looks at repurposing and reactivating some of the industrial buildings fromits singular function into lively mixed-use living and work space. Bringing
new life to these industrial buildings becomes a method of creating new centres and activity in the current isolated northern Sydenhamzone. Repurposing the in-
dustrial buildings in Sydenhamofers to aid in the connection of the current separated zones, becoming a catalyst for a renewed engagement and interaction with
the neglected industrial space. It also aims to reduce the current thoroughfare nature along Colombo Street, inviting people to explore the area, particularly be-
cause of its valuable proximity to the CBD. Te project looks at one industrial building retroft as an example, a large 198mlong building located beside the rail line.
Re-envisioning Sydenham industrial building stock in the new post-earthquake landscape becomes an important role in providing much need-
ed housing stock to Christchurch. Tere is an opportunity in the industrial area to ofer a diferent urban scheme than it currently ofers, particular-
ly as it had been predicted that the industrial presence will decrease along the rail line over the coming years. Sydenhams industrial space becomes ide-
al for retroftting as it has had minimal efect from the 2011 Earthquake, and as the buildings are largely empty frames, fexible for reconfguration.
Tere are multiple reasons to save the existing industrial building stock, rather than simply destroying it and starting again. Firstly, much of the inner city building
stock has already been destroyed, therefore it becomes important to Christchurchs memory to try and save some of its remaining large scale buildings. Secondly,
it shows the character of Sydenhams industrial past, particularly the factory silhouette shape, which evokes the imagery of industry. Sydenhamprides itself on its
historic past, and as much of its heritage buildings have been destroyed fromthe earthquake it becomes an opportunity to embrace the areas industrial image and
past. Tirdly, because the building chosen is such a large building it becomes a more sustainable initiative to save the existing structure than using new resourc-
es to completely build from the beginning. Lastly it speeds up construction time, and allows people to move in quickly as the buildings are already watertight.
Te design proposal for the building becomes an example of one of Sydenhams new proposed centres, a medium sized example in the industrial zone.
Te strategies from the urban proposals are abstracted and used in the logic for the new building. Te spatial strategy for the building is taken from the
existing structure, the gridded network of interior columns. Te housing units are formed between this gridded framework, in three scales - small, medi-
um and large. Tis allows for a diversity of the housing stock, as there is the choice between one to four bedroom units. Tese units are placed according to
size in the plan, as the largest are located in the corners and intersections, the mediums along the outer perimeter, and the small along the middle section.
.
Te three scales are also used in the circulation network, creatinga hierarchy of roads. Te main circulation paths connect the buildingfromthe outside where it feeds
people into the interior residential and second story marketplace. A North to South circulation route connects to a new proposed green connection, where other in-
dustrial buildings along the chain are proposed to be retroftted as well. A diagonal connection links the building to the busiest road in Sydenham, Colombo Street,
and intersects with the other large circulation route. Mediumsized circulation corridors run horizontally of of the main spaces, spanning the entire length of the
building, allowing unobstructed views to each end. Te truss pattern is used in the plan as the units interior circulation facing walls mirror the same form, breaking
the linearity of the passages and encouraging moments of exchange. Large event like staircases take people fromthe Ground Floor to the Second Story marketplace
above, where the residents below sell their goods and services and where other businesses operate. It is zoned fexibly for diferent market activities and businesses,
including cafes, gallery space, and a ballet school. Tis lively market space embraces and is sympathetic to the alternative creative character of the area, allowing
for niche and start-up businesses to take place. Tis top foor marketplace has a network of bridges which spans and connects across the circulation spaces to the
diferent market islands. Tis systemof navigation inside the building allows for clear and efcient movement, enticing the occupant to explore more of the spaces.
To allow light into the building because of its wide width, 53m, four courtyards have been strategically located. Tese courtyards all have diferent and
unique gardens, including a fernery, water, palm and fower garden. Tis ensures that daylight and natural ventilation is brought into the middle units, as
they are located of of these courtyards. Tese spaces become spatial moments of focus, navigation and orientation, while also communicating to the green
connection the building is situated along. Te courtyards are glazed in glass that connects to the ceiling and many of the gardens have tall trees. Tis en-
ables the occupants to always see a courtyard from the public spaces, and from the second story allows views of all four gardens operating as light wells.
Te material choices of the new structure are sympathetic to the existing building, while ofering a subtle contrast. Te concrete building frame and roofng
materials is kept and the new exterior walls keep the same banding quality of the original walls. Te exterior surface is re-clad in black steel with stained black
windows, keeping as much of the original structure as possible. Tis cladding choice ensures the building sustains its mysterious industrial monolithic appearance,
while minimizing the appearance of any exterior fenestration. Te interior appearance is of deliberate contrast to the exterior, with the use of white concrete and
clear glass, to create a lighter more open appearance. Te use of the black exterior and light interior, as well as the courtyards, creates visual contrast and release.
Reimagining the industrial building stock in the post-earthquake Christchurch could bring new life into the declining industri-
al areas, while becoming new hubs and centres for activity. It looks at imagining the industrial zone in a diferent way, and how it can reen-
gage a disconnected and isolated area. Te buildings scheme is developed using the same urban strategies of mixed-use, connection and dif-
ferent scale centres, illustrating how the wider urban strategy can be implemented into the industrial zone and at a building scale.
