PROJECT 1 RELINK Urban Renewal Design in Buffalo,New York,United States The DL&W rail corridor runs through the Old First Ward, Perry, and ValleyNeighborhoods.It used to be a hub for shipping and industry but experienced a decline in the latter half of the 1900s. Shipping routes and methods changed,industry closed, and people left. The neighborhoods experienced population decline and abandonment.

My design increases the connectivity of the site with surrounding communities and roads by building bridges and establishing sidewalks. The retained railroad and transformed topography allow people to remember the past history, different activity spaces can attract more residents and tourists, and the application of native plants also restores life to the site.

PROJECT 2 Back for Caribou Restore Caribou's Habitat in Diavik Diamond Mine,Canada In the Northwest Territories,due to the occupation and destruction of land by the mining industry, caribou’s habitat is being lost and their numbers are declining steadily.COSEWIC has assessed them as a threatened species.

Caribou Numbers Continue to Decline Abnormally Bathurst Caribou Herd Polulation Estimates

The Diavik Diamond Mine located within caribou habitat scheduled to cease production in 2025.In order to restore caribou’s habitat and help them migrate safely,I planned to dismantle the artificial barriers along the migration route of caribou and transform abandoned mine pits into sanctuaries along the path.

Dike area

Diavik in northern Canada is one of the world's most important diamond mines, with production to date of more than 100 million carats. Mining is expected to continue through 2024, after which all infrastructure must be removed and the site returned as closely as possible to its original condition.

Resilient Landscape Design for Forest Fires in Chongqing Province,China A resilient landscape design was made after identifing the risks and challenges associated with natural disasters and habitat fragmentation near Jinyun Mountain in Beibei District, Chongqing. The purpose is to prevent forest fires and prepare for firefighting after disasters occur.

Rainwater forms streams and is collected in retention ponds, making the site more humid and can used to fire fighting.

At the same time, native fire-resistant trees are planted on the terrain to prevent the spread of wildfires, and wetland plants are planted near wetlands to prevent water loss.
