Abstract

This research is mainly built upon the work of 2014 Watersheds PhD Winter School, which is organized by South China University of Technology in collaboration with Politecnico di Torino. The Winter School focuses on the professional and practical issues of urban design, specifically, the urban transformation of T.I.T (a former textile factory) and its surroundings which is a very important heritage in Guangzhou and shows the space and scale jumps in time during the rapid developing period. Seven keywords are used to define the research framework: "Simulation", "Methodology", "Divergence/convergence", "Design & measure", "Formalization", "Circular causation" and "Hybridization". The research combines morphological typology methods and environmental synergy concepts, and incorporates different disciplinary expertise spanning from spatial design (architectural and urban dimensions) to environmental and strategic evaluation. The morphological typology methods make it possible to work on different scales (from small to extra-large dimension) and to consider complex strategies. Environmental synergy concepts are derived from the analysis of the complicated development history and current constructing situation of the urban central axis area where T.I.T is located. Based on the comparison of multiple conflicting actors, values and views of urban regeneration processes and several planning and design scenarios for this area, the research achieves an everlasting urban structure and a growth strategies system with ever-changing surroundings for the Central Axis Area.
