BRIDGING  THE  GAP

-

The Future Innovation in Zhengzhou

Designing Critical Nodes of the "Urban Grids"

-

In Collaboration with Stanislas Chaillou

Either inconsistent with surrounding neighborhoods, or causing social, spacial and functional disconnections, certain piece(s) of land can be spotted in both developing and developed urban context. We coined the phrase "urban gaps" for these discrepant plots in cities. "Bridging The Gap, The Future of Innovation in Zhengzhou" studies the locations of urban gaps - underdeveloped plots of land that are left during Zhengzhou's rapid urban development and expansion, and their potentialities of boosting the city's innovative industries. After revealing a list of urban gaps via a thorough corpus of research and analysis, the research was narrowed down to one site located between Longhu CBD and Longzihu University City. More specifically, we proposed a monorail, an innovation park as well as a series of compound "innovation pockets" as an attempt to revitalize the in-between spaces of Eash Zhengzhou through innovation.
