studio urban dynamics

The project strives to bring together the local and global flows with greater pragmatism while acknowleding the mammoth-ic importance of Olympic park to Beijing . The Olympic park thrives on the singular image built around the presence of Nest and water cube which are indeed the global icons for Beijing. However, the international attention is gathered around a singular idea of international spectacles and limits the everyday possibilities of the site. The strategy has been to activate the site with a multitude of activities which blur the rigid boundaries between the global, local and also help re-situate the park in its physical context. The strategic plan is expressed as a 'collage of defining ideas', acknowledging the fact that such a scale can neither be tackled by an individual nor can be limited to a time frame.
