ARTIFACT:
 The nature of cities by exploring the facets of an urban Eco criticism, by reminding city dwellers of their place in ecosystems, and
by emphasizing the importance of this connection in understanding urban life and culture. Discover the reconceive nature and its
cultural representations in ways that contribute to understanding the contemporary cityscape. Urban ecologies need to be planed,
but more than that, it needs to be imagined.
WHAT ?
In the architecture of Ulaanbaatar Mongolia, as one of the lowest population density of any country worldwide. The balance between
urban and nomadic populations is expected to dramatically change in the future with more and more Mongolians migrating
into the capital. The result is that architecture becomes a container that has been criticized detaching human mind from architectural
perception and isolating people from each other. Otherwise, look for the human living environment; it is often thought
to be separate from nature. The human race used to maintain a balance with nature. But for the last two centuries, emphasis has
switched to an expansion of area and infrastructure, leaving behind the standards of human existence, our natural behaviour and
basic living values.
WHY ?
How do we keep a balance between an urban and natural environment?
The soil from factories carry mud to fresh water, causing the waters to be dirty, as man cannot maintain a balance between economic
and urban environment and cause this to happen… Moving the natural environment into the city, move the birds into the
building, move wildlife into the urban… By working on the nature of management system, animals of management in Ulaanbaatar
Mongolia, the proposal is try to produce a new system in the city: machine safari. The main concept is to create a new habitat to
raise wildlife within the city or new natural environment for urban wildlife living, as an organic machine or a factory in the city.
What can we learn form nature?
Nature can teach us about systems, materials and structures, I think the key of nature in architecture: Nature as organic, nature as
environment, Organic as system, Human use it, Environment as space, Human living with it.
HOW ?
Gereric eco-city: urban energy generators. (urban energy, urban layer, urban mermory) Urban renewal growth: rehabilition, rebuilding,
conservation. Urban Traditions: traditional environment perspective, a bridging the historical gap between environment,
cultural studies and urban experience. Urban and country nature: urban pattern (city and suburb) landscape pattern (country and
urban) farming pattern; Animal’s power in the nature: birds flocking, sheep farming… Analysis of urban and country system: rethink
a new system in the city. Form the urban and country system analysis; it has the difference which articulation of volumes, green
density and human relationship between the vertical city and the liner city. Strategy: food chain, natural selection, balance of nature,
the energy of natural, Noah ark… Principles of intelligent urbanism: a balance with nature, a balance with tradition, human
scale, appropriate technology. Machine System: machine factory, recycle resource food productive as organic machine or factory.
