PORTFOLIO OF YIFAN WANG LANDSCAPE AS A FUNCTIONING CONTEXT

PREFACE

CONTENTS STAGE

Landscape is a dynamic component of abundant factors within the domain of location, culture and nature. Based on this, I set my design works into functioning programs, distributing from urban districts to nature habitats aiming at reinterpretate the daily living spaces. More specifically, I let my landscape design works become the functioning

It mainly contains two parts: a strict design logic leads from issues to spaces and a stage for human activities. All design works in this portfolio are planned to fix current problems with landscape protocol and representation of a powerful, guided space order.

The fukushima nuclear power plant disaster is considered as a thrilling crisis towards modern japan, which resulted in tepco(tokyo electric power comapny)’s constant cleaning works in order to restore the site’s environment. Consequently, many contaminated water and wastes were stored in tanks and con-

This is why i chose to cover all the efforts, wounded land and the wastes with a landscape protocol, and use the whole design as a memorial to this accident, recording all memories with topography.

ISSUES OF THE BEER FACTORY RENOVATION

Libo Beer Factory, which is considered as a special memory towards most Shanghai residents, represents the old time, the flavor of local wheats, and the living style of 90s’ Shanghai.

Whereas nowadays only the warehouse left behind the Meilong district is a memorial to that time.

In this design, I demolish the huge manufacturing building, but keep the special chimney and fermenters as a landscape structure towards this site. Besides, I use pavement design to contact each function zoning in this urban square, and keep the river, industrial heritages and human activities in harmony. Consequently, I make this whole site become an open-air bar zone to memory the Libo Beer as a mundane activity field.

ACADEMIC WORK INDIVIDUAL WORK SITE LOCATION: HONGKOU, SHANGHAI, CHINA DESIGN AREA: 64782.16 SQUARE METER DESIGN DATE: 05/2016 INSTRUCTOR: KAIXI LIU

Chinese urban development triggered shanghai construction in the late 90s. The hongkou stadium urban district, which i chose as the study case, has become an invisible center. To some extents, it atracts enourmous amout of people crossing, but with the apperance with disorder and chaos in circulation.

This design specially aims at placing order through urban design protocol. The axis could guide people and urban spaces with its own organism as a metropolis landscape. This urban landscape design work is a statement of space order, an intense respond to urban construction.

ACADEMIC WORK TEAM STUDY, TEAM LEADER, INDIVIDUAL DESIGN SITE LOCATION: SURABAYA, JAVA, INDONESIA DESIGN AREA: 707869.61 square meter DESIGN DATE: 09/2016 INSTRUCTOR: JINTAO WANG

With the marine threats rising, indonesia coastline is endangered due to ecosystem detoried. Whereas through our investigation, the local developing mode has followed an infinite passive loop due to its economy requirments, under which condition that the city will soon break down.

We found the nature process of coastline ecosystem could be combined with human activities with biomass by abundant paper studies. And set this working frame to the port site as a background system to renovate the urban coastline, which would be a harmonious balance between human and nature.
