Graduation Plan Master of Science Architecture, Urbanism & Building Sciences
Graduation Plan: All tracks Submit your Graduation Plan to the Board of Examiners (Examencommissie- BK@tudelft.nl), Mentors and Delegate of the Board of Examiners one week before P2 at the latest. The graduation plan consists of at least the following data/segments: Personal information Name Selene Lijie ZHUANG Student number 4621158 Telephone number 0614585504 Private e-mail address seleneljzhuang@gmail.com Studio Name / Theme Teachers / tutors Argumentation of choice of the studio AMS MID-CITY, COMPLEX PROJECT Steven Steenbruggen The studio could provide a platform and support for a throughout process of problem posing and design to give solutions for bigger, complex, properly sociologic problems. Graduation project Title of the graduation project A plunge into the bigger water Goal Location: The posed problem, research questions and design assignment in which these result. Oud Zuid, Amsterdam The sports facilities are not enough in numbers or not accessible to everyone to ensure that people can has equal right to exercise and keep them healthy What kind of sport or recreational facilities do we need to ensure that everyone has equal right to exercise regardless social status? Design of a swimming complex Process Method description Historical Research, such as reading about the history of Amsterdam and compare the old plans Qualitative Research, such as mapping, taking photographs, site model making and making collages Correlational Research, categorial measurements were taken during site visits, such as number of pedestrians Logical Argumentation, when the findings in the previous research were evaluated and rationalized Every studio group together needs to develop a vision, design scenario for the site, rendered by the individual
project interventions. Individual design scenarios and group site visions should be strongly interconnected and constantly inform each other. Each of us to choose a topic for thesis, for me, sports and recreation, and consequently connect them into overall group strategy. I would explore all the possibilities by applying critical thinking through research to create new understanding (problem space) toward better design solutions.

The complexity of these parameters converges more into a philosophy of design enabling us to unpack virtually any set of design constraints and react more thoughtfully to the conditions around them. The aim of the studio is to highlight interesting cases that explain the acceleration process of the future and examine different examples in order to understand how to turn the cities challenges into design opportunities for
a city to grow, thrive and set an example for others to follow. The leading cities will be investigated and compared with Amsterdam aiming to access the urban qualities and understanding the effect of data-driven city developments. Furthermore studio groups will develop different urban scenarios based on assumptions of the implications of technology development (i.e. new mobility, automated vehicles, re-use or new use of highways). Finally, each of us will envision urban design and architecture scenarios, improving well-being and social cohesion, human health, air and water quality, reducing energy demand by limiting temperature extremes (heat island effects), providing natural cooling, improving insulation in buildings, reducing traffic congestions Throughout the research and design process, with closed connection with AMS, I hope we can inspire or generate some idea for the future city development in Amsterdam, or to be applied to other metropolis.
