Tectonic Resilience presents a scalable approach to resilient urban redevelopment, using Yutie Village in Chongqing as a model. Isolated on a steep hillside near the city's core, Yutie Village faces...

site adaptation logic

// 1

This project leverages a multi-agent pathfinding algorithm to trace optimal pedestrian routes across Yutie's terrain, informing the macro-level layout. Movement patterns shape circulation paths that adapt naturally to topography, anchoring the design within the landscape. This adaptive logic aim to establishes a seamless, context-driven framework, uniting built forms with intuitive site integration.

[MACRO] - urban resolution

// 4

The system reintegrates Yutie Village into Chongqing's urban network through new structural pathways. These interventions bridge physical divides, establishing terrain-responsive connectivity that firmly embeds the site within the broader city fabric.

[MESO] - human resolution

// 5

Modular plugins interface with existing buildings to generate flexible community nodes. These human-scaled spaces prioritize spatial adaptability, fostering social interaction and enhancing the collective experience of the village through shared infrastructure.

[MICRO] - material resolution

// 6

Interlocking recycled timber modules aggregate to form responsive façades and interiors. This material logic optimizes lighting and ventilation, merging traditional textures with functional upgrades to modernize the built environment efficiently.
