Meixi Lake Urban Plan
An urban plan in the R4 district of Meixi Lake in Changsha China explores an urban pattern based upon principles found in the deciduous broadleaf forest: that a diversity of form, space and pattern enables shared access to resources: in this case light, water and air. Small medium and large buildings are distributed to meet Chinese daylight access requirements. Water conveyance at the block and district scale supports mid-block greenways leading to the canal, which leads to the lake.
