Rethinking Chongqing: Mixed-Use and Super-Dense presents the work
of a Edward P. Bass Studio at the Yale School of Architecture,
co-taught by real estate developer Vincent Lo, founder and chairman
of Shui-On Land, the Yale Bass Fellow, and Paul Katz, James von
Klemperer, and Forth Bagley, managing principal, design principal,
and senior associate, respectively, of the international
architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. Chongqing, one of
China's four directly-controlled municipalities, is a rapidly
growing economic hub of western China with a rich urban history. As
it seeks to expand its urbanized boundaries and redirect economic
growth towards the high-tech manufacturing and service industries,
it is also investing enormous resources in new transit
infrastructure, parks, cultural facilities, and other public
amenities. The site of the studio project is the soon to be
redeveloped site of the central rail terminal, a critical nexus of
infrastructure located near the riverside that offers rich
possibilities for re-thinking the relationship between transit,
public space, and mixed-use program in the city. The studio
investigated a diverse range of proposals for new scales,
typologies, and program mixes. The book includes a comprehensive
analysis of mixed-use projects in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Japan,
interviews with the architects and developers, and insightful
essays by Wu Jiang and Daan Roggeveen, Rethinking Chongqing
demonstrates the role architects and developers might play in
shaping new paradigms for the development of western China's
emerging mega-cities.
