The project aims to reshape the relation between industry and living in the obsolete harbour area in Suvilahti, Helsinki by creating a complex community that combines the residential area and public activities with industry and production. In this way, the whole community will be able to act like a micro city with all kinds of functions and be self-sufficient in a way.Helsinki has a long coastline and many good harbours on which the industrial development of the last century was largely dependent. However, since the industrial restructuring of inner Helsinki, the factories are no longer housed in these harbour industrial areas and replaced to suburb of Helsinki County. Located in the eastern Helsinki, Suvilahti used to power the city with the early power plant and the first-built gas plant. Later in 1970s, Hanassari power plant, the biggest one in Helsinki, was built. It was once the main energy production area in Helsinki, but now the factories have closed and are looking for new uses. The logistic area is left with large empty space and large industrial constructions need to be reproposed. In my proposal, I see the challenges in four aspects. Firstly, I propose a more liable community with more infrastructure and get the new residents involved. Secondly, the landscape will be reconnected and the polluted environment restored. Thirdly, cultural activities will be maintained and more facilities will be built. Lastly, in order to revitalize industry, certain types of industriy will be reintroduced into the buildings and experienced workers will be rehired.

Stockholm is experiencing the fast urban expansion with major development projects including housing, transportation and public spaces in and out of the city in which existing blocks are involved at different levels. The project Urbancraft’s proposal to transform Kvarteret Sländan in northern Vasastaden in Stockholm is an an explorative and experimental work that look at a range of different approaches which are inspired from the game world where more interactions happen and people are more engaged in its environment but are of different characters. The aim of the project is to explore and test the approaches from game world and answer the question of how to create a vibrant neighbourhood in a traditional European district, but at the same time an imaginary vision of it: mixed, historic and most importantly interactive and responsive to the local contexts for amenity such as seasonal difference of sunlight and the diversity of needs. The key point of the concept is translating game design methods into urban design and architecture language regarding to physical world and digital game world. The design phase focuses on three units of the traditional blocks: buildings, networks and courtyards which have a significant impact in Vasastaden’s appearance. The shapes of buildings are modified through strictly applied rules for both daylight and direct sunlight, while making these possible to change periodically. Networks as connections into the site break the barriers and create new public and semi-public spaces both at roof level and ground level. As a result, rooftops and courtyards will be redefined and more responsive for different users and needs with the thinking of game world.

The project site in Helsingborg is located on a pier in a harbour area in Öresund, in Sweden’s southernmost province of Skåne. Helsingborg is Sweden’s eighth largest city. It is a densely built urban city, with a large former port area under redevelopment. The project site covers an old warehouse building - Magasin 405, and its surrounding plot. The goal is to re-use and repurpose the warehouse into a attractive meeting place in the city, while adding building volumes and public space to accommodate public activities and housing units within the project site. The new proposal is aiming to revatalize the waterfront area of Oceanhamnen (the Ocean Harbour) and help connect the segregated neighbourhoods ’North’ and ’South’ (”Norr” and ”Söder”) of the city centre. The renovation of Magasin 405 will make the waterfront district, and the city as a whole,more dynamic.

93% of young people feel live in London under great pressure and they are facing a serious mental health problem crisis - 'silent disaster'. The proposal of Nine Elms, which is a ghost town with a vacancy rate of 60%, we will alleviate the living pressure of youth by introducing a shared affordable housing system, a multi-inclusive community environment, and a stress-free community culture. This proposal is a challenge to the traditional definition and norm of "perfect" and "success", which put too much pressure on young people, and brings a new definition of stress-free urban life.
