Abstract
In response to worldwide social and environmental crises, I will
design a model for contemporary living in the extreme context of
Guangzhou, China. The push for China to become a world player has
resulted in rapid modernization at the expense of the social fabric
and traditional living. This high-density, mixed-use development aims
to demonstrate that sustainable living and maintaining of traditional
family ties are critical and acheivable elements of China's
development. The energy program outlines the strategies for limiting
energy consumption and producing all energy needed in the development
on-site by renewable and clean methods. The social and energy needs
are aligned throughout the developent.
