In response to a lack of urbanity and a voided public realm, this project is an attempt to redefine the fabric of Lujiazui through tactical interventions in the urban landscape. Part of our approach is to accept the existing condition of the site and respond to the site through the imposition of a new order. This new order will take advantage of the existing movement systems which pulse potential energy through the site. Given this flux condition, the tactics are thought of as interations of a flexible framework. The design framework is composed of 3 elements (path, node, cofetti) which adapt to interpretation and contingency yet provide a clear foundation for urban development.

Today’s unprecedented market conditions
of simultaneous low real estate
demand and low capital investment
have severely altered the economic
landscape. In order to redevelop San
Diego’s East Village, an area with potential
for great change, we must reenvision
the market as an unpredictable
force to which we respond with flexibility
and patience. Our initial development
plan targets smaller, less desirable
sites to capitalize on the value of
primary parcels near mass transit and
the proposed East Village Park. Our
prudent approach, rooted in the access
to capital, will help transform the East
Village into an economically, ecologically
and socially vibrant place.
