This portfolio is centered around nature-based solution s, a iming to ba lanc e the rela tionship between humans and nature, thereby achieving the sustainability and fairness of the landscape.

The collection of works is designed in four directions: a gricultural landsca pe rejuvena tion, resilient landscapes, healing landscapes, and disaster landscapes.

01 Reclaiming Paddy Field Space Arable Land Analysis Arable land area

Agricultural household count Per capita arable land area

From the western lakeside area to the eastern levee area, the number of rural settlements and per capita arable land area are gradually increasing.

However, even though the lakeside area has a much lower number of rural settlements compared to the levee area, it has a larger scale, which also results in a generally larger farming radius

Spatial Variations In Vegetation Cover Not SigniÞcant High-High Cluster High-Low Outlier Low-High Outlier Low-Low Cluster

with soil that is neutral to slightly acidic, and has a moderately sticky texture, characterized as loam and clay.

2 Upper part has a gel Þlm, and there are more iron-manganese concretions.

In most areas, there were minor ßuctuations in vegetation cover, and th e areas with low vegetat ion cover continued to expand, especially in the central region, showing significant changes at different times or in different spatial contexts.

3 The original soil belongs to coastal saline soil, characterized by a relatively high salt content, poorly developed soil structure, unfavorable physical and chemical properties, low fertility levels, low organic matter content, and significant carbon sequestration capacity.

4 Development results in the formation of rudimentary

soil, which typically has an alkaline pH and a loamy to sandy texture.

2023

More than half of the regions had low vegetation cover, and with the increase in human industrial activity, the areas experiencing significant changes in vegetation cover also grew.

Transformation of Agricultural Land Space The zonal characteristics of settlements exhibit a 'water-Þeld-village' layout sequence. It undergoes a transition from east to west, moving from dispersion to aggregation, which is the result of adapting human living environments to regional water and soil conditions.

In the lowlands, rice is cultivated, and the original ridge Þelds and hydraulic structures in the lake areas have been disrupted. Moving from east to west, land fragmentation increases, and the basic farming unit area gradually becomes smaller, leading to a change in the farming structure from 'large paddy Þelds' to fragmented ridge Þelds.

Before

After

1.Industrialization has brought about water and soil pollution as well as air pollution.

2.Decreased flood control requirements have led to the gradual expansion and lowering of terraced Þelds, with less distinct agricultural landscape.

3.Mechanized production has resulted in the decline of soil quality, with fertilizers leaching into water, leading to water eutrophication.

4.Many terraced fields have been damaged or repurposed, with improper agricultural management, weed overgrowth, and scattered planting.

1.Water and soil pollution has decreased, air quality has improved, and a stable water supply is available for farmland.

2.Farm structures have been cleared, traditional farming practices have been restored, and the accessibility between Þelds has increased.

3.Sustainable agricultural methods have been promoted after reclamation, effectively improving soil quality and reducing nutrient loss.

4.Land and forests previously used for industrial purposes have been restored, resulting in a diverse range of crop types.

02 Symbiosis Between Human And Water

Surrounding Area Analysis

The project is located in Jianye District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, China, and is a part of the ßood control bank of the Yangtze River, which has been plagued by ßoods since ancient times. The site was originally built with high dikes for ßood control.

1870 This project will break down the original dyke and improve the toughness of the site through various strategies, making it both rigid in the face of ßoods and resilient in recovery.

In addition, the site fully considered the surrounding road network, tributaries of the Yangtze River and other network systems, designed the floating house.So far,the boundary between human and water has been broken.

To combat flood disasters, the Yangtze River dam was established in 2006. However, during the rainy season, floods, both large and small in scale, can still occur.

The distribution of trafÞc ßow and buildings is in the same direction as the river, so ßood water can easily invade into the city along the roads, and the site is surrounded by industrial parks, which are susceptible to pollution.

The green space along the river is relatively loosely distributed, with no flood protection or water storage function, and ßooding can only rely on the existing dykes.

This project is located in Jiangning District, Nanjing City, surrounded by residential areas. After the epidemic, many people suffered from COVID-19 sequelae, but there are no healing parks around.

Therefore,I based on the physical needs of people around the site, from the perspective of the five senses and plants, establishing a healing park that can relieve physical discomfort,which allowes people to interact with plants from various aspects such as vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Thereby healing each part of the body separately.

The contour lines on the western side of the mountain have suffered more significant disruption, resulting in an overall sharp decrease in elevation.

Overall, the contour lines to the west are relatively sparse with mostly gentle slopes, containing a considerable amount of soil but having low vegetation coverage. Heavy rainfall may potentially trigger mudslides and landslides, impacting the town at the mountain's base.

Additionally, gentle slopes are susceptible to erosion due to rainwater runoff, leading to soil fertility loss and affecting agricultural production.

Overall, the contour lines on the eastern side are relatively dense, consisting mostly of steep slopes, which may lead to large rockfalls and rockslides, posing a threat to roads, structures, and people.

The moderately ßat valley area in the middle suffered the greatest impact from mining activities, leaving numerous large and small pits.
