Study on Urban Spatial Reshaping Using Algorithmic Generation Method

As large-scale urbanization continues to unfold globally and urban populations rapidly rise, the development direction and form of urban space have become hotly debated topics. This study combines the national first prize-winning entry from Milan Design Week and proposes a new perspective on urban development, which takes the form of “giant constructions” using an algorithmic generating method. The research attempts to use urban vitality points to generate a group of giant constructions and create a new urban upper space through a huge arch system that does not conflict with the existing urban space. On top of this, Chinese bracket arch elements are extracted to generate modular building units within the giant constructions. The urban solution proposed in this study forms an aerial community consisting of clusters of buildings and open space, providing a large amount of vertical green space and living space in urban airspace to solve the problems of insufficient central green space and commuter housing. It resolves the limitations of urban space and enhances disaster resistance, providing new ideas for reshaping urban space and achieving green sustainability.
