5 min city

Weiteng Zhuang

Supervisor: Jan van Schaik

The intention of the project is to explore how new factory and housing typologies and small-scaled public activity areas can help us construct a conceptual 5-minute urban model, by initiating a specific architectural design project for production and living spaces represented by the factory and housing complex. From the perspective of architecture, how to coordinate the relationship between various factories, residential buildings and office buildings, and use the building structure to "isolate" some polluting factories, and at the same time explore how agriculture and industry can enrich the lives of urban residents. 5 minutes’ walk to complete most of the city needs.

Buildings are often related to the external environment, but due to the need to design corresponding factories, the design of the building with the least impact on the urban environment (the most enclosed building) is considered.
