Title: Create the sharable system of both space and facilities to promote the
interpersonal interaction and regional vitality |
Team Name: Catalyst National Cheng Kung University
Country: Taiwan |
|
Overview |
|
Lujiazui Financial City plays the pivotal role of urban development in
Shanghai. There is highly dependent on the ride of public transportation.
In view of the main needs in the region are mainly from office workers,
and most activities are now held inside the skyscrapers; hence we settled
the starting-point of this project on four parts,including work, life,
commuting, and rest. We create the sharable system of both space and facilities
to achieve the new urban vision that promotes the interpersonal interaction
and regional vitality while improving the efficiency of resource use.

Title: Shifting Tower with integrated IoT application |
Team Name: ArchX Robert Gordon University
Country: UK |
|
Overview |
|
Our project revolves around the Internet of Things market in China that we used as a tool to create a shareable system represented in a single tower, consisting of affordable offices, utilities and communal space for the business society of Shanghai. To achieve that we designed an app that could enable one to book facilities, control services, access database and navigate through the building, while constituting a social hub for both employees and employers. Hence the solution would not only improve the quality of work itself, but also have a positive impact on daily commute and employee relations. The Shifting Tower we present might be considered as an exemplary office of the future, employing sustainable design and systems that could be implemented in the whole Pudong district and prospectively in every city characterised by the highly urban environment like this of Shanghai. |

|
Overview |
|
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) embodies society's desire for vibrant,
livable communities that are compact, walkable and centered on high-quality
transit systems that enable residents to live, play and work with less
dependence on cars. Transportation systems-well designed, well connected,
easily accessible, multi-modal, and integrated into the fabric of their
environments-are an essential part of prosperity and sustainability for
all cities. Our approach to transportation systems seamlessly integrates
architecture, infrastructure planning, and urban design to create healthy,
efficient, inviting environments.

Title: Micro-Growth |
Team Name: Dream High Shandong University of Science and Technology
Country: China |
|
Overview
|
|
If the city is seen as a growing plant, the upper half is the green leaf, the lower half is the root of
the city, and
the trail is the aorta that transports nutrients. In the past, the rude construction method will
definitely destroy the
texture of the city. Nowadays, various urban problems have been exposed. Under the low-carbon urban
planning trend,
combined with the current situation of the plot, it is proposed to make the slow space system
"micro-growth", abandon
the rigid axis and monotonous functional division, oppose the large-scale demolition and construction,
and protect the
fine texture of the city.
The “micro-growth” of the slow traffic system advocates full respect for the internal structure and
historical
traditions of the block, protects the original texture, and uses organic low-carbon technology to
update and create.
The result is a complete low-carbon green slow-moving transportation system to create a comfortable and
pleasant
slow-moving space.

Title: Pudong- The high-tech green city |
Team Name: Ying Yang Thuy Loi University
Country: Vietnam |
|
Overview
|
|
After researching, Yin yang realised that Shanghai - a rising incubator for clean-energy startups - are experiencing two big problems: overpopulation and air pollution/ airpocalypse. In this plan, Yin yang aimed to tackling these problems with technology approach and by green method. A smart city, where sensor technology and big data are used to enhance the shareability of infrastructure, are the most desirable solution for this tech-enthusiastic city. Regarding sustainability of planning, Yin yang planned several rooftop parks functioned as a green lung that can “eat smog” for this city therefore improve the air quality.

Title: Relief Nest |
Team Name: Y.U.K.K Yamaguchi University graduate school / Yamaguchi University
Country: Japan |
|
Overview
|
|
The commercial area in Pudong New Area is a district that has been developed without improvement, due to rapid growth. For the reason, disaster countermeasures have sufficiently not been done. On the other hand, there are problems such as earthquakes, wind and flood. Therefore, we propose "disaster prevention park" as this solution. Then, we incorporate an information sharing disaster prevention system. Also people's communication might become unclear when mechanical automation systems and AI are generalized by promoting the IoT society. To prevent this situation, designing it to be "a place for rest" except the time of disasters, and planning a flow line for people to gather.

Title: Share-HI! [Share, Have Identity] |
Team Name: ArchiMap_A DAELIM UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
Country: Korea |
|
Overview |
|
We have come up with a solution to this problem by suggesting the problem
of lack of a shared system, lack of welfare facilities, and the withdrawal
of housing.Through the establishment of a community sharing center, the
government proposed a link between residential and commercial areas and
streams to address the structure of the sharing system and welfare facilities.
Local shared centers and streams work closely with people's lives, bringing
changes to local communication, opening and awareness of sharing. Shanghai
will share the area through a community sharing center and become the city
of the future with Shanghai's identity.

Title: Infrastructure Connect System |
Team Name: GOEMON Nihon University
Country: Japan |
|
Overview |
|
We imagined Shanghai in 2050. Merging infrastructure and architecture, connecting a building with other building by bridge. Bridge is not only used for transportation, it connects lifeline also. Bridge is use for moving horizontally, Buildings are available to be used as an elevator, so buildings are used for moving vertically. In Shanghai in 2050, people can move in three-dimension.

■Comment by Prof. Yasushi Ikeda, Chief of VDWC Executive Committee
This year we got entries for VDWC from students in more various countries
than last year. Technologies such as BIM and VR have possibilities beyond
language and culture, and I expected the possibilities would be expanded
and developed as an international business cooperation if we set up a location
for young generations to compete and improve how to educe the innovation
of the technologies. I have had this expectation from when this event started
eight years ago, and the fact that more and more people in the world are
getting to know of this competition makes me really happy. Seeing students
greet and exchange ideas each other after the award giving ceremony, I
feel encouraged by a sense of togetherness from them working on the same
issue to make next era rather than being dissapointed.
Increase of entries from various regions caused upset. The nomination from
China that should have had the advantage of the knowledge against the target
region Shanghai was one, and only two teams reached the finals from the
organizer country Japan. On the other hand, it is also impressive that
regular areas and strong schools have become clear. Since the juries judged
fairly through voting, we have to admit that strong team is strong. As
a result, a team from Taiwan won Grand Prix following last year. The factor
of the winning would be "accumulation" and "countermeasure".
Teams that achieved good results before have accumulated technical knowledge
steadily. This is one of the differences from when the contest was established
and means that BIM and VR have become more common. Newcomers must work
hard with a consciousness that they are not at the same start line as teams
with experience.
Another tendency among experiencers is that they have understood the aim
of the competition well and prepared for it. The visual expression is undoubtedly
a deciding factor eventually, but in addition to design, what an importance
is attached to in VDWC is how the computer simulation and the optimization
process are used for the proof or inspiration. Because of this intent,
participants have to use at least one FORUM8 application in addition to
UC-win/Road, and they lose point if they don't obey this rule.
Moreover, the task may have been more difficult than previous years due
to the theme of "Sharable urban system" that required the participants
to find a new control method for various fluid elements existing in urban
cities. However, all teams which were ranked high worked on this task boldly
and were able to provide proposals at certain level. Among their works,
Grand Prix was chosen because it made an "unvisible" system "visible"
and appealed its role to the society after enhancing it.
As a city with super-high buildings, the idea that the sharing system in
Pudong appears as bridges connecting skyscrapers exceeded other teams obviously.
Since design and visualization as a system will be an axis of the task
in the competition, I look forward to newcomers from more regions having
countermeasures against this point to beat regular schools.

This is an international design competition for students
to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative
architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR
technologies. Every year students compete for the top prize
which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined
theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and
creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme
and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented
to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry
out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will
make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect
a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating
various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum (3D cloud BBS). The
script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster"
(A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission
and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment".
We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all

"Sharable urban system of future Shanghai"
Shanghai is leading the economic development of the huge high-growth nation
of China. The target city of this year's VDWC is the Pudong district of
Shanghai, whose skyline is dominated by a great many futuristic skyscrapers
built in the past 30 years. Pudong might now be one of the places on the
planet undergoing the most intense change. The district has earned such
status due to the penetration of IoT in a society driven by smartphones,
and the aggressive introduction of the shared economy. Sharing social resources
through IT technology, as represented by Uber, are a current focus around
the world. In China, sharing is now common for bicycles through to offices;
networked economic activities might suit the Chinese traditional culture
and politics.
This shared economy can be considered as a challenge in the creation of
an entirely new urban system. If, in addition to transportation systems
and networks, spatial resources like parking lots and meeting rooms, solar
energy generated by individual facilities as well as water resources stored
and treated by individual facilities, meals, entertainment, and almost
everything available in the city becomes sharable easily and efficiently
among a wide network of people, the sharing efficiency of cities may not
only improve, but also the urban space may change entirely. This may include
changing its architectural configuration and rearranging different design
features that each play a specific role in making a fully functional city
- to accommodate a sharable urban system. Such innovation is indeed a key
concept of future architecture and urban design. The urban system originally
incorporates "mobility (circulation / traffic / communication)".
To recognize and control the urban system dynamic such as the flow of energy,
food, and goods in addition to people and vehicles, computer simulation
will be a powerful tool. In particular, it will be a valuable resource
for predicting the complex interaction of autonomous distributed and shared-economy
behaviors.
Contestants are asked to design a variety of shared urban systems and a
new city that could potentially be created by these systems, while analyzing
and presenting their ideas using simulation. Simulations do not need to
be very complex, but simulations should go beyond merely confirming the
design concept. If you select vehicle traffic as the shared system, for
example, you are expected to actively apply simulations to your design
such as pursuing new ideas after simulating and understanding the mechanism
of "mobility" required for the design or inventing a way to adapt
to mobility changes. In addition to the symbolic high-rise buildings, typical
modern Chinese multi-storey apartments and undeveloped areas are included
in the large target area. While you can focus on one office building or
one intersection, you can also focus on a problem or natural phenomenon
in the whole area. In essence, you are expected to show how shared systems
will develop the Pudong city of the future in Shanghai.
